Mary Ann
Those Italian genes run deep
The youngest of seven children born in Ohio, Mary Ann’s father, Anthony Pace, was first generation Sicilian and her mother Mary Ann was first generation Hungarian. Her parents owned and operated an Italian restaurant for over 40 years. Mary Ann’s favorite Italian dish is still her own family’s sauce with meatballs. In her own words “Im not happy unless I’m cooking and Feeding the ones I love.”


I discovered my love for cooking by watching my mother in the kitchen. She moved with such grace, turning every dish into an effortless masterpiece. I would stand on my tiptoes, barely able to see over the counter, mesmerized by her every move.
'Its more than just a recipe, its a jar of memories"
