For my mom's birthday, our neighbor and former owner and chef of Ciao Ristorante in Downtown Naples, FL, Chef Gianfranco, joined our celebration by making us a fabulous private home party dinner. He helped me create the menu with my mom's favorite Italian entrees, veil piccata and lobster risotto as well as an outstanding antipasto -burrata al pesto. He grocery shopped and meal prepped the veil before arriving. During the evening he gathered us around and displayed his culinary skills which was such a fun experience watching him cook. We learned new skills as well as heard interesting tales of his time growing up outside of Rome. Everything was so delicious. I can't express how fun and amazing the dinner party was. It was truly a night we will all never forget. Besides my mom - the birthday girl - and my dad, we had the pleasure of having upcoming musical artist,Nick the Native, as well as his new bride, my aunt and uncle and my husband Lee who was the videographer.
