Elisabetta Balzola

Head Chef and Owner

“To me, food is synonymous with love, family, and experience.”

 

In Cucina

 

Born and raised in Torino, in the northern Piedmont region of Italy, Elisabetta Balzola comes from a long line of bon vivants with a knack for conviviality. From a very young age, she’d be in the kitchen with her mamma preparing one-of-a-kind dishes – and that’s how her passion for cooking was ignited. Moving and living across Italy with her family, from Ancona (Marche) to Sorrento (Campania), expanded her culinary skills and her voracious knowledge of Italian regional cuisine.

In 2014, Elisabetta and her family moved to  Michigan, and the chef decided to share her love of authentic Italian food with her friends and neighbors, quickly turning her foodie credentials into a profession.

Her successful catering business Cuciniamo Italiano has been thriving ever since and it built the foundations of what is now Cucina Lab Torino.

Opening my own corner of Italy in the United States

is a dream come true!
