SANIBEL ISLAND, Fla. — Owner Pasquale Russo and Executive Chef Weston Davison of Tutti Pazzi Italian Kitchen joined ABC7 in the studio to share their story and love for authentic Italian food by preparing some of the restaurant’s most beloved dishes.
After falling in love with Sanibel, Pasquale and Leanna Russo moved their family here from New Jersey in 2018 to fulfill their lifelong dream of opening an authentic Italian restaurant.
Tutti Pazzi Italian Kitchen officially opened its doors in January of 2022.
But after Hurricane Ian swept through Southwest Florida, they were forced to shut down for four months until a second grand “re-opening” in January 2023.
