This easy chicken dinner was shared with us by friends and quickly became a favorite. With Mamina’s Garlic Herb Salt with parsley, you only need one simple seasoning to bring big, comforting flavor to the table.

A timeless combination of farm-fresh garlic, sea salt, and pepper, Nonnie’s OG Garlic Salt delivers bold flavor on its own—and shines even more when layered into your favorite dishes.

There it was. The credo of all time. A framed recipe displayed proudly. A replica of the family’s original pizza recipe—and the one ingredient Mom said never to omit. L O V E.

Could I honor my ancestors and share my Italian family traditions as I build SALTY MAMINA?

SALTY MAMINA is a love letter to the women who make home feel like home.

Mom and Nonnie. My Salty Mamina Inspo. Love you dearly.

Indulgent but fitting. A 2:00am breakfast of rice krispie treats and coffee to welcome the birth of little Violet.

A new tradition, small but mighty, with family, neighbors, and lifelong friends. 

Mom was devoted to Dad’s foodieism. So am I—it’s what inspired me to create Armando’s garlic salt.

How'd I do?

Mom’s square pizza was easy to hold. The flop was in the middle. I held my slice like a goblet and ate from the edge.

Dad—entrusted in Mamina's arms—voyaged the great divide between Sicily and the Island of Hope.

We treat sauce like liquid gold. None gets tossed—not even the thick paste left on the inside of the pot after the simmer.

With love and together from the heart, Salty Mamina is born. We’ve reimagined our family’s garlic recipe to pay homage to my Italian heritage.

Where ever the wind takes you and your family, I hope you continue your traditions, relish in new ones of your own making, and have fun with it all.

Mamina means little mother, or grandmother, in Italian.
