"Since recently becoming a member of Italia Unita I have attended the last two Cena events at Rino's place in East Boston,and each time I have met several wonderful people that have a love for Italian culture." "The food was absolutely fantastic!! The Best Italian Food I have tasted in the Boston Area yet! I also learned a little more of the language as I heard the others speaking around me. Great time!"

"Having been brought up in a house ruled (at least in the kitchen) by my Italian mother ( my grandparents were from Palermo) it was wonderful being surrounded by food and music that was very much part of my childhood. Regarding our product, the "mini bomboloni" were well received."

"Although I was born and raised in Switzerland, I've spent all my holidays in Italy since I was a child, and that is where my heart lies. Visiting Boston left me speechless. What a beautiful city! I just wanted to tell you that I have visited your website and I find it great. It is so nice to see the effort all of you put into maintaining our Italian culture and spirit alive. I can sense the enthusiasm just by looking at the pictures of the various events. I'm impressed. It really makes me want to jump on a plane and visit you. It's very nice for me to visit it and learn about how you keep our culture alive. I wish I could be over there to share all the great moments with you."

By providing a wide range of activities and services, they have emerged as a tremendous local resource, developing an enriched sense of community and instilling a pride of all that is Italian within our neighborhoods.

Italian festival that encompasses a variety of cultural attractions. From traditional

American filmmaker its inspiring to see young Italian Americans supporting the arts... and
the food is great!"
