This month, we’re excited to introduce the D'Arienzo family: Meredith, Luigi, and their two children, Elisa and Paolo. 

Meredith, an Atlanta native, and Luigi, originally from Naples, Italy, have brought a taste of Italy to our community through their business, Tuscany at Your Table. Located in Virginia-Highlands, just down the street from YWCA Greater Atlanta, the store offers authentic Italian cooking classes, wine tastings and a curated selection of Italian goods. Luigi, a trained chef, leads these events and is often spotted on his blue Vespa outside the store. 

Their daughter attended preschool and pre-K at YWCA Greater Atlanta and is now thriving as a first grader. Their son, nearly 3, has been at the YWCA’s Early Learning Academy for almost two years. 

In addition to their store, the D'Arienzo family leads small group tours through Italy, sharing their favorite regions and restaurants with travelers. 2024 marks their eighth year of these intimate tours, highlighting the best of Tuscany, Apulia, Sicily and the Amalfi Coast. 

We’re proud to have the D'Arienzo family as part of our YWCA community and love how they’re sharing Italian culture with Atlanta.
