In the early nineties, Alisa Barry opened a café in Atlanta to share her passion for cooking and eating as an artful ritual. Inspired by her culinary training in California and sabbaticals in the hill towns of Italy, she created a simple menu made with locally sourced ingredients. When her loyal customers kept asking to take home her artful offerings, an artisan food business was born. Bella Cucina Artful Food is an all natural, artisan product line available in lifestyle gift and specialty food stores around the world.
