Alloro

Salvatore and Gina have always dreamed of having an old-fashioned family-run business. In June of 2008, Salvatore and Gina together with their friends and family celebrated the opening of Alloro. “Alloro” is Italian for Laurel as in laurel bay leaves. Gina and Salvatore chose this name because Salvatore loves to cook with it, because it carries centuries of symbolism and because it is a perennial green herb (many of you know green is a favorite color of the Corea family). In the summer, one can enjoy an Alloro sorbet while in the winter it accompanies meat dishes in a jus lie reduction. “Alloro” is not to be confused with “Allora” which translates to “well then…” One may of course use them in the same sentence as in “Allora, andiamo ad Alloro!”
