Pull Up a Chair and Join Our Famiglia

We believe food is just a catalyst for bringing people together. Our family recipes have a unique power to connect people across generations, cultures, and beliefs, and we are honored to share our food – and family – with you here.

In our kitchen, everybody gets involved! Cooking isn’t an event or an ordeal, it’s an experience. Join us in the kitchen where we laugh, fight, and dance together as we create and continue traditions that will last forever.

Our Invitation

Spend time exploring the recipes, stories, and products we’ve pulled together for you and leave feeling inspired to step into your own kitchen, create your own memories, and preserve your own traditions for generations to come.

Welcome to the Mamma Mangia Famiglia!

Mamma Silvana

We Are Italian and We Love Food!

Good cooking is part of our DNA, (not just because we love to eat!) but because we know that food is MORE than food. Family recipes aren’t just a list of ingredients and instructions, they’re a blueprint for better understanding your unique history and heritage.

Every dish we share holds a special memory for our Italian-American family—the smells, tastes, and textures remind us of the people who were there and those we hold dear.

We hope our stories and recipes inspire you to create and keep traditions with your OWN family.

Experience Our Style of Cooking

Every Italian will tell you THEIR way of cooking is the RIGHT way, and we want you to find YOUR way in the kitchen. We hope our Sicilian-style cooking will inspire you to learn about your own culture and family history. No matter how much (or how little) you know about cooking, we’ve got everything you need to dive in and feel comfortable in the kitchen.

Scroll through our wide collection of family favorites, traditional Italian staples, and delicious treats to find the next recipe your family will enjoy around your table.

Step into the kitchen – virtually or in-person – with Silvana and Solae’ and learn how to make authentic Italian pasta, bread, sauces and more.

From our iconic Maple and Walnut handmade cutting boards to Italian-style cookbooks, there’s something in the shop for every home cook.

Learn the stories and traditions behind the Mamma Mangia family. See how our Italian heritage has shaped our family and connected us to our past.

Our Business is Just Like Our Family – Authentic, Food-Obsessed, and a Lot of Fun

Mamma Mangia started after my mom (Silvana) and I (Solae’) created an heirloom family cookbook that traced our genealogy and traditions through our family’s recipes. We realized that throughout generations, food has served as a beautiful thread of connection, tradition, and love – and we wanted to share it with the world!

We love hearing how much you enjoy making our recipes and how cooking connects you to memories of childhood, grandparents, and other family traditions. Helping you find connection through food is the best part of this business, and we are honored to share a piece of our hearts, history, and home with you through the recipes, cooking classes, stories, and products we share here.

Enhance Your Cooking Experience with a Beautiful, One-of-a-kind Cutting Board

Our thoughtfully-made cutting boards are handcrafted, non-toxic pieces you can’t find anywhere else. Each one is different and can be passed on through generations as a unique family heirloom.
