About us

Emilia Food Love. The name says it all: it’s a love story.

The love that binds two people and, with another thread, ties them to a wonderful land we want you to discover through its one-of-a-kind excellence.

We are Andrea and Rossella, born a handful of years ago somewhere else, in Calabria. We met Emilia almost by chance and began getting to know her the way you get to know a friend who is meant to stay in your life forever. Here, where we felt at home right away, we decided to build our family.

In 2011, on our honeymoon, we found ourselves looking for home far from home: along the aisles of a supermarket on the American East Coast, among the food trucks, in the delis, and in the hands of people enjoying lunch cross-legged under a tree in Central Park. That day, with a single look, we understood that nothing could be more beautiful than bringing our home into every home, onto every table, along every street, onto every bench in the world.

When we got back, all we had was an idea. And life, which hadn’t stopped, demanded all our attention. But some dreams can’t be set aside: they push their way through routine and the small thoughts of every day. They ask to come true and, in the end, you have to listen.

Our road, like any road, wasn’t always downhill. There were climbs and tunnels, obstacles we got over hand in hand, until the day that idea found a name able to say all the love and dedication we had chosen to give it from the very first moment.

That’s how Emilia Food Love was born, where Emilia is the same friend who welcomed us so long ago and whom we now want to introduce to the whole world. Not just a door left ajar on all the delights of this land, but an experience that reaches every part of life in Italy and keeps the atmosphere of its hills and seas, its mountains and plains. Of its regions, with traditions that can be very different, yet united by the same soul.
