Hi, my name is Mike Angarola and welcome to Gracie’s Ravioli Dot Com!  A number of years ago I ran a small Italian Specialty shop in the village I live in and named it for my Mother.  Gracie’s Ravioli featured many of the fine foods, recipes and special dishes my mother prepared for our family every day of the week.

Now that the shop is closed I have decided to continue with this legacy by starting the Gracie’s Ravioli Website/Blog.  Of course food will be our primary focus as we share with you the many aspects of the Italian or Mediterranean lifestyle.  Some of you will be surprised at the health benefits derived by adding the foods and wines of the region to your every day routine.

Please take a moment and browse around the site. Our Gracie’s Recipe page is a continuous work in progress as we are constantly adding new and delicious suggestions to serve your family and friends.

You know wine plays an important role in the Mediterranean diet and it is suggested that a glass of red wine daily has many heart healthy benefits.  You can expect to find suggestions on quality wines, with links to sites on the internet that have the best price.

There is lots to do and learn here and we look forward to hearing from you as well.  Please feel free to comment on anything you see or read on any of our pages.

Lastly, I hope you like the site enough to subscribe to our newsletter.  There is a subscribe box on every page and post so go ahead and sign up.  We are always adding new content, products and recipes and this is a sure fire way not to miss out on anything.

Buon Appetito,

Mike
