My name’s Vale, 34 years old.

With my wife Mae and our little Rose, we share our family’s culinary heritage.

After living in Bologna and traveling all across Italy, we created Casa Bandera to bring you recipes born from our traditions, our journeys, and our discoveries. Yes, that’s the real Dolce Vita!

When I tried making my first carbonara at 15… Total disaster! It looked more like scrambled eggs.

My mistake? Not following my Nonna’s recipe. Today, I’m sharing all her secrets so you can delight your guests too.

In 2025, I was honored to be named French Amateur Champion of Roman Pizza by Simone Zanoni — Michelin-starred Chef at Georges V in Paris.

With Casa Bandera, you’ll serve flavorful, elegant, and above all, unforgettable meals — without spending hours in the kitchen.
