That’s Amore
Ho ancora fame
A tavola non s’invecchia mai
La bellezza passa, la fame no
Mangia che diventi grande
L’ingrediente segreto è l’amore
Nessuno cucina come il papà
Nessuno cucina come la mamma
Buone Feste

Make room for seconds.

In Italy, this style of piatto fondo (deep plate) was found in countryside homes and used for every course since the 1800s. Today, you’ll still find this kind of plate in every Italian kitchen. This collection is affectionately known as A Pranzo dalla Nonna – “Lunch at Nonna’s” – because that’s exactly how your grandmother would dish out multiple servings of fresh handmade pasta during a big Sunday lunch.

 

Choose from the following hand-painted Italian phrases:

  • buone feste – happy holidays
  • ho ancora fame – i’m still hungry!
  • nessuno cucina come il papà – nobody cooks like dad
  • nessuno cucina come la mamma – nobody cooks like mom
  • that’s amore <3 
  • a tavola non si invecchia mai –  one never grows old at the table
  • la bellezza passa, la fame no – beauty fades, hunger doesn’t
  • l’ingrediente segreto è l’amore – the secret ingredient is love
  • l’appetito vien mangiando – eating awakens the appetite
  • mangia che diventi grande – eat up, so you’ll grow big and strong

 

What to know:

  • Enamelware made in Slovenia, then custom hand-painted in Italy
  • Handwash very gently! Only warm water, no abrasive sponges or sharp tools. The painted phrases are not glazed.
  • Never put in the microwave or dishwasher
Weight 7.8 oz
Dimensions 8.67 × 1.57 in

Festive and fun

I gave them as a gift and the couple loved them. Check them out on Instagram under SpencerAnnArbor.

Gorgeous

Exactly what I wanted them to be and more. They are tin so they hold the heat of the pasta as beautifully as they display it. Perfect size. Pretty enough to display but too good not to use!
