Ciao, I'm Katie
Italian food runs deep in my DNA. What started as an obsession as a kid turned into a lifelong pursuit of the food, culture, and history that shape Italy.
My happy place? Capturing the stories of the farmers, bakers, winemakers, chefs, and home cooks at the center of it all.
When In
Let me show you why and how Rome is the most delicious city on the planet.
We'll eat, drink, and chat our way through my favorite markets, delis, bakeries, pizzerias, and all the spaces that make my adopted home one-of-a-kind.

“Katie Parla, or how I refer to her, ‘my Italian Goddess from Jersey,’ has taught me so much about food, life, friendship, and the importance of Danzig over the last few years. She has single-handedly and lovingly organized all of my culinary trips to Italy and Sicily, including our last trip to Puglia, the mysterious southern heel.”
