This past Friday, with a full house, holiday parties and more, La Campagna had a power outage that lasted for an hour! As we are ones not to disappoint, the candles were lit and the food was cooked; thank goodness for gas stoves!
Some new customers were in for the first time and they were amazed out the ambiance that was created. We of course were scrambling to find all our ingredients, plates and pots! What is the saying, when you are given lemons, make lemonade? Well we did just that.
All the customers had a wonderful romantic meal, courtesy of the Westlake Power Outage!
We are 2nd generation Italo Americans from the Puglia Region. Our story is like many Italo Americans brought together via tradition, laughter, family and food. Since we could walk, we were in our grandparents' gardens reaching for the prized "seed" tomato. The "tasty tomato" is our life force; metaphor for love, food, tradition, memories, comfort, the market, summer canning, harvest, celebration, and much more. Share our family traditions as we build upon the legacy of our Italian Ancestry.
Food Is...
Family, Tradition, Memories, Flavors, Gatherings, Laughter, Life, Vitality, Comfort...Love.
