An Italian dinner, made with love
Reserve your eveningThank you for stopping in. My name is Tracey (don’t forget the “e” 😉), and I am excited to share my passion for the artisan preparation of Italian food. While I hail from English and Scottish heritage, my joy and energy for home-prepared meals favor the Italian side, much to my similarly descended husband’s delight.
To me, some of life’s sweetest moments happen around the table—the laughter, the stories, and a warm meal made with love. As a mom of three, I know how quickly busy days can leave little time for the homemade dinner you had hoped to make.
That’s how Italian at Heart came to be. I shop for the ingredients and cook your chosen dinner in your own kitchen, so you can gather with the people you love and simply enjoy the evening. My hope is to give you a little more time together—and a dinner made from the heart.
A LITTLE LESS TO DO
Each dinner generously serves 4–6, with the kind of leftovers everyone is happy to find tomorrow.
01 · SIGNATURE DINNER
Freshly prepared with layers of pasta, rich homemade meat sauce, my signature cheese blend, and mozzarella. Served with a fresh kale salad topped with orange slices, pomegranate seeds, carrots, and candied pecans, dressed with fresh-pressed orange juice, along with organic sourdough bread with my special butter.
Made with organic, grass-fed ground beef.
All-inclusive dinner $340

02 · SLOW & COZY
Slow-cooked organic, free-range chicken in a rich tomato sauce with mushrooms (optional), served over spaghetti and finished with Parmesan.
To go alongside it, I prepare a fresh salad of greens, grape tomatoes, Kalamata or black olives, mozzarella pearls, and homemade croutons, dressed with my homemade dressing, and serve organic French bread with garlic-herb butter.
