Our Story
For us, Italian food has always been about more than what’s on the plate. It’s about the people in the kitchen, the stories around the table, and the memories we make together.
Italian Clove celebrates the generations who taught us to cook—and the next generation learning to carry those traditions forward.
Rooted in family. Made to share.
I'm Lenny Vallone, a first-generation Italian-American who loves to cook, travel, and spend time with family and friends.
Some of my favorite childhood memories are of cooking with my parents and grandparents. The best part wasn't just the food—it was hearing their stories, discovering our heritage, and learning the recipes passed from one generation to the next.
I started Italian Clove to share those recipes and traditions. Today, through backyard pizza parties and intimate pasta dinners, I'm bringing that same spirit of hospitality to your table.
Buon appetito!
“Food breathes life and connects families.”
A dedication to our families
Italian Clove is dedicated to the families whose recipes, stories, and love have shaped our lives. Those who have passed remain forever in our hearts, and those here today continue the traditions we shared in the kitchen and around the dinner table.
May every gathering create a new memory worth passing down.
Let's gather around the table.
Whether you're celebrating with friends or bringing the family together, we'd love to make your next gathering feel like a little piece of Italy.
