In the midst of the Pandemic, in September of 2020, when the world seemed to stand still, our love story began. First via Bumble and then a virtual first date of Cabernet Franc and 3 cheeses. After a six hour virtual date, we met in person for the first time at Alameda Beach for a picnic where Eric prepared Caprese Salad and Cucumber Feta bites live and Minoti came with roasted coconut pineapple. As California went back into a lockdown, our kayaking and picnic adventures turned into cooking dates where we picked a spot on the world map and made delicacies from that region. Somewhere between cooking delicacies from around the world and traveling to those places together, sharing moments, wine, and filling our lives with laughter, we’ve fallen in love. Food, wine, laughter, adventure, and togetherness mean everything to us and we are so excited to be able to share these with our favorite people in our favorite country! Welcome to Eric + Minoti’s Italy!
