Our childhood started amongst the beauty of Albania, specifically Kosovo..and all of its Balkan splendor. The beauty of the mountains that surrounded us, the aromas of the Mediterranean and the slow-cooked foods that have known and tasted in our childhood, passed on through the generations have always resonated with us and we knew that we needed to bring our love and passion of food to the states. We, (Noti and Ati) are lifelong friends. We both found ourselves among the bustling city of New York and the Hamptons and we continue to add to our journey.

We have always had an affinity for Italian food (they are our neighbors after all). The foods of the Mediterranean and the culture of family around us has never been far from our hearts. We both worked and gained much of our love of restaurants working and owning our own restaurants in this part of the world and owe much of what we know and experienced from both the people and foods that we were allowed to create.
