Goodbye, August. 👋🏼🇮🇹

You were filled with pasta, pizza, pastries, gelato… and SO many incredible memories. ❤️ We officially ate our way through Italy and back, and honestly? I’m already ready to go again. 🇮🇹✈️

But now… HELLO SEPTEMBER. 🍂🤎

And September at Ciao Flavor is bringing some seriously good things:

🥔 Crispy Potato + Fontina Focaccia
🍎 Apple Fritter Focaccia
🍑 Peach Cobbler Cookies — first 2 weeks ONLY
🍏 Apple Cobbler Cookies — last 2 weeks ONLY
🎃 Pumpkin Spice Iced Brown Butter Oatmeal Cookies — ALL MONTH LONG

And then there’s something very special…

🐦❤️ THE HUMMINGBIRD MENU ❤️🐦

This September-only menu was created in honor of my sister. All of the favorites she used to make with a Ciao Flavor spin.

The Hummingbird has a very special meaning to our family, and this month I wanted to turn that meaning into something that could help make a difference.

100% of the proceeds from items ordered from the Hummingbird Menu will be donated to HPV cancer research.

So yes, you can order something delicious… but you’ll also be helping support something bigger than a cookie or a loaf of focaccia. ❤️

September is officially here, and I have a feeling it’s going to be a pretty special one.

I came to Italy for the food… and Bari said WATCH THIS. 🇮🇹🍝

There’s literally a street in Bari where local nonnas sit outside making fresh orecchiette by hand — and yes, I absolutely stood there watching like a kid in a candy store. 😂

This is the kind of Italy I came for.
The pasta. The tradition. The people. The FOOD. ❤️

And somehow I already know this vacation is going to turn into me eating my way through every region of Puglia 😂

Would you stop here or keep walking? Let me know👇🏻

Follow along because this is only half way through my Italian food adventure. 🇮🇹✨
