In late June, the Italian Language Foundation announced the recipients of the first-ever Giambelli Culinary Award at an event at the Columbus Citizens Foundation in Manhattan. The winners represent a range of culinary figures and organizations that exemplify the foundation’s goal to honor and promote Italian culture and cuisine in the United States.

“The Italian Language Foundation's Giambelli Culinary Award was created to acknowledge and honor outstanding individuals and businesses in the Italian American culinary industry,” says ILF President Margaret I. Cuomo. “The recipients of this prestigious award have proven their commitment to excellence in their quality, service, and creativity.”
