Casa Bandera,
a Story where Love Simmers with Cuisine
I'm Vale’. Casa Bandera is more than a kitchen—it’s a piece of Italy, a breath of Dolce Vita, a family legacy. It all began in my nonna’s kitchen, where every dish told a story and every gesture was an act of love. This passion led me from Bologna to Italy’s hidden villages, searching for the flavors that make hearts beat.
Today, with Mae and our little Rose, we created Casa Bandera as you would open the doors to a home: warm, authentic, where every recipe invites you on a journey. Here, cooking is not just a craft, but an art of living that brings people together and inspires.
Casa Bandera is your place at our table. Taste our Italian recipes, discover our cookbook, and experience the magic of simple, authentic flavors.
Step into our Dolce Vita…
with every Bite, our Heritage
