From Treviso, Italy to Loudoun County: An Immigrant Woman’s Journey to follow her Love and find her Passion
Daniela Williams was born and raised in the Italian city of Treviso, 25 miles north of Venice, in the North-Eastern part of the Country.
Her first teachers, motivators, and culinary mentors have been the late Chef Michele Organte, executive chef at “Parco Etnografico” Rubano, Italy, and Chef Benedetta Cano’, owner and chef at “Agriturismo Poggio Al Sole” in Cortona, Tuscany, Italy.
After a short time spent between Hawaii and Italy, in 2008, she permanently moved to the United States (San Antonio, TX) to settle down with her husband Vince, and their sons, Jason and Nicholas.

THE EASIEST DINNER PARTY YOU WILL EVER THROW!
A CUCINAMORE party is a fantastic dining experience (and optionally a cooking experience too!) to be shared by all: it’s like taking a trip to Italy without leaving your kitchen, having a native chef as your tour guide!
You book us for the food. You enjoy us for the fun and unique experience. You love us because we clean up all items and space used, and always leave the kitchen as we found it!
“In a food scene full of ‘Celebrity Chefs’, I want authentic and contemporary Italian food to have the spotlight instead, and my culture to shine through it as well.”
