She reflects on the iconic ingredient-driven, farm-to-table Italian cooking that seduced palates and earned the loyalty of notoriously discriminating New York diners. Donna also expounds upon the essential elements of good eating and good living she learned over the restaurant’s nearly three-decade history.

What began as a little antique store has grown into a beloved family of restaurants and shops, including il Buco Alimentari \u0026amp; Vineria, il Buco Vita, and locations in New York City, Amagansett, and a pop-up in Los Angeles. We’ve also expanded to Ibiza with Bottega il Buco, and most recently to East Hampton, where the il Buco Commissary is now baking bread, jarring products, and expanding our events business.\u003cu\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis incredible journey is deeply intertwined with my own family’s story. I remember nineteen years ago when my son Joaquin was just born, and Ignacio Mattos joined us from Uruguay. As I navigated motherhood and the restaurant, the il Buco team became Joaquin’s extended family. Now, that once-toddler, now a 6’2” vocalist, has started college at the Berklee School of Music in Boston. As an empty nester, I’m enjoying more time at my newly renovated house in East Hampton.\u003cu\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThrough all these years, one thing has remained constant: the exceptional community of food and life lovers who have supported us.
