Chef Paolo Interprets Pinoli!

In Sunday’s podcast, we weren’t quite sure of the pronunciation of Pinoli as we more often see pine nuts spelled pignoli. Chef Paolo explains the difference. Thank you Chef!

Pinoli’s Grand Opening is this coming Thursday, December 18th.

What fun was last night’s block party!!! The best event of the season was saved for the last, as the West End of Main Street Gloucester became “Little Italy.” The streets overflowed with hundreds of partygoers while Gianni and Terry Gallo broadcast live an episode of their new show, L’Italia Chiamò – Radio Show.L'Italia Chiamò ©Kim Smith 2014

I wished I could have stayed for the entire evening but unfortunately had to hurry home. Looking forward to next year’s Block Parties although, I don’t know how they’ll ever top last night’s event!
