Meet Anna

Eatalian by Anna brings the soul of authentic Italian home cooking to New Jersey through intimate cooking classes and bespoke catering for every occasion. Founded by Anna Maria Taddei—born and raised in Rome with decades of hands-on culinary experience—Eatalian by Anna invites you to experience the tastes, stories, and warmth of Italy, one dish at a time.

After moving to the U.S. with her family in 2012, Anna quickly made her mark with La Lupa di Roma, a beloved restaurant in Monmouth County that earned multiple accolades, including Best Restaurant in Neptune City three years in a row and a place among the Top 11 Pizzerias in New Jersey. Following her retirement in 2023, Anna returned to her true passion: sharing the joy and art of home-style Italian cooking.
