On the Road with Sabbia: From Orsogna to New York

Some recipes don’t stay in one kitchen. They travel!

From Orsogna to New York — Sabbia serving paccheri al pesto with the heart of Abruzzo in every bite.

This is what “On the Road” tastes like.

From Orsogna, a small town in Abruzzo, Italy, to Staten Island, Lambertville, and beyond, Sabbia is bringing authentic Italian cooking on the road.

This new blog category, “On the Road,” follows my journey as I share traditional Italian cuisine across New York and New Jersey through special dinners, culinary events, and educational seminars.

From Abruzzo to Staten Island — where tradition meets the road. 🇮🇹✨ At Nonna’s of the World, every plate is served with history, heart, and the warmth of a true Italian nonna.

At Nonna’s of the World, guests experience Italian food the way it was meant to be: simple, generous, and deeply rooted in tradition.

From slow-simmered sauces to handmade pasta and rustic focaccia, every dish reflects the flavors of Abruzzo and the warmth of a true Italian Nonna.

This isn’t just a dinner — it’s a cultural experience.

Beyond the restaurant, Nonna Sabbia shares her knowledge with the next generation of chefs through hands-on culinary seminars focused on traditional Italian cuisine.

Teaching is part of preserving tradition — and food is one of the strongest cultural bridges we have.

Why “On the Road” Matters

Italian cuisine is not just about food. It’s about history. Family. Memory.

Through these events, I carry a piece of Orsogna, Italy, into every kitchen she enters.
