EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the swinging 1960s in London, two Italian immigrants, Franco Lagattolla and Mario Cassandro, turned their passion for authentic Italian cuisine into a culinary sensation. The print captures the dynamic duo, owners of the renowned Italian restaurant La Terrazza, in their prime. Dressed in stylish suits and aprons, they exude confidence and pride in their establishment, which was said to serve 'possibly the best Italian food in town.' Established in the heart of London during the 1960s, La Terrazza quickly became a hub for food lovers seeking an authentic taste of Italy. Franco and Mario, both hailing from the sun-soaked hills of their homeland, brought with them traditional recipes, techniques, and a commitment to using only the finest ingredients. Their dedication paid off, as La Terrazza soon attracted a loyal following of celebrities, politicians, and food critics. The 1966 photograph, published in LIFE magazine, captures a moment in time when the Italian restaurant scene in London was on the rise. Franco and Mario stand side by side, their faces reflecting the determination and hard work that went into building their successful business. The warm, inviting atmosphere of La Terrazza is evident in the photo, with its cozy tables, rustic decor, and the tantalizing aroma of freshly cooked pasta wafting through the air. As the 1960s came to a close, La Terrazza remained a beacon of authentic Italian cuisine in London. Franco and Mario's legacy continues to inspire new generations of Italian chefs and restaurateurs, who carry on the tradition of bringing the flavors and passion of Italy to the world.
