Frankly Delicious — today I’m cooking up Calamari Piccata 🍋🦑

This restaurant-quality calamari recipe is light, fresh, and bright without the heavy breading.

I’m also sharing a simple trick to give the calamari that delicious grilled flavor without ever firing up the grill.

After trying this at home, you may never order calamari at a restaurant again.

As many of you know, we celebrated garlic month in April with so many garlic-forward, fragrant, and delicious dishes that we can still taste them!

If you missed any of them, the videos for each dish are posted on my page.

If you tried one at home, send me a DM — I’d love to hear how it turned out.

Wishing everyone a holiday weekend filled with good food and good company. ❤️

Sometimes I’m showcasing unique dishes you can only find at Villa Penna and other times I like sharing quick and easy recipes you can make at home that the whole family will love. Today is one of those days.

This is my favorite go-to summer pasta salad — light, easy to make, and always a crowd pleaser. Perfect for the holiday weekend.

How do you make your pasta salad? Let me know below 👇

Feeling pretty fly in my new Executive Chef Coat 👨‍🍳🔥

Freshly embroidered with my new logos by my good friends at E.A. Graphics out of Sterling Heights. Appreciate the great work — now it’s time to put it to work in the kitchen.

What should I cook next on Frankly Delicious?

While the talented bakers were putting on an incredible show at Michigan cake Wars at Villa Penna Friday, I had the pleasure of sharing a dessert of my own — complimentary samples from my semifreddo collection.

Cherries Jubilee, Italian Sundae, and Cannoli… and I have to say, the sweet-toothed crowd loved them.

I recently featured my semifreddo (with a garlic twist) on Frankly Delicious. If you’re curious how this classic Italian dessert comes together, take a look.

Thank you to everyone who came out, supported, and made the night so special. Already looking forward to next year — bigger and better.
