"She's pretty much the same IRL (in real life) - a chirpy Sicilian Eveready bunny with an all-encompassing welcome and quick laugh. She makes La Casa a joy, taking every diner under her wing, adopting them as family too. Her restaurant, opened with brother Tony, who knows his cipolle (onions) having knocked around reputable Sydney Italian restaurants since he was 15, probably should be called La Famiglia (The Family).....La Casa is the kind of place I'd love to call home."
