If I win this beautiful basket, I will take it to my mom’s house and we will have a great deal of fun preparing an Italian meal together! Thanks for the chance.
First off. ..yummm! I have been to Italy and I absolutely fell in love with the food. Being Italian, I love to cook and the food in the basket would be a welcome addition to some wonderful dishes
I would enjoy it every day until it was gone
I’ll throw in a couple of bottles of Nobile di Montepulciano and have a Mariano food party for the extended family!
Cook up an Italian feast for my family!
Everything looks delicious!!
Looks like a family supper to me. Throw in a couple bottles of red wine and it’s heaven in a basket!!!
I love following your blog and trying your recipes and would love to try the food in this basket as well!
I will share it with my in-laws!
What a wonderful basket filled with goodies…..just in time for the Holidays!
What a beautiful basket!
I’ll host a holiday cocktail party featuring this gorgeous food!
What a wonderful way to celebrate the holidays!
I would be so delighted and would feel like a kid on Christmas morning! I would first run out for some fresh baby salad greens and a loaf of ciabbata. Then I would prepare the spaghetti with the sauce, dress the salad with the olive oil and balsamic, and have a sampling feast!
My husband and I are celebrating the holidays solo this year for the first time and this basket would be the perfect way to bring excitement to our little rental cabin in the woods!
Whip up some delicious meals to teach my boyfriend how to eat properly. 😉
This beautiful basket will be shared with my Italian family. We are living in Colorado – which is as dry as a desert when it comes to finding authentic Italian ingredients.
This is a foundation for a feast! I’ll make some ciabatta bread to complement everything.
I would use this gift basket at a party I’m having for Christmas. Love Italian food!
My girlfriends want to start a new tradition, once a month meet for dinner and have a feast from around the world! What a wonderful way to start wil a beautiful Italian theme! What a blast we would have!
Wow! This would be awesome and delicious to have 🙂
As I am on a small fixed income I would most likely rive to members of my family as a holiday gift. All of us love to cook and coming from an Italian family this would be greatly enjoyed by all.
Simply enjoy!! Such a beautiful & yummy looking basket!
I’d share this basket with all of la familia, add some nice bottles of Chianti and talk about what food means to us and to our ancestors who came from Italy!!
Sounds delicious!
Would love this gift basket to share with the family!
Looks like a party in a basket, must enjoy with family and friends
If I won this beautiful Mariano Food basket, I would gather my rather large Italian family around the table and share stories about Mom’s old traditions
If I won I would invite my friends to have a grand Italian feast.
Everything looks so yummy!!!! I would definitely cook this basket up for my family and friends and make some beautiful memories.
I would share it with our friends on a cold winter night around the fire!

I could eat Italian food 6 days a week and have pizza on the 7th! I would use the goodies in this basket to prepare a special dinner for special friends, starting with a beautiful antipasto and ending with some Limoncello!
Each day would be a delight with this lovely selection.
Yummy!! This would go under the tree of a wonderful family I do volunteer hospice work with. They are married 55 years and this may be their last holiday together. We are always sharing Italian memories and I know they would enjoy this!
I would get a bottle of wine, and make a loaf of Italian bread, pre-cook the pasta and sauce,coffee,and pack it all in a picnic basket. Then take my wife of 25yrs and go into the woods to cut down a fresh Christmas tree. Spread out a blanket and have a picnic over looking the river valley. Ahh, can not forget the Anisette for the coffee and pray for a little snow.
My 93 year old Italian Mother-in-law and I will be overjoyed to share this incredible basket next month during our Festa dei sette pesci!
What a great assortment of Italian goodies! If I win, I will give it right to my Mother. She recently turned 88, and although she still makes her own sauce, I know she would appreciate and enjoy everything in thing in that basket! And, of course,we’d “help” her eat it!
I LOVE to cook Italian while enjoying a glass of wine! Reminds me fondly of my fiery little Italian grandma!! 🙂
What a great start to the antipasto/pasta portion of our family meal. Would love to share this basket with the family !!!
I’d grab a couple of bottles of wine, start the pasta water boiling and invite “everyone” over for food, talk and laughs.
I would donate the basket to the Chris Child Society of Akron, OH for their reverse raffle auction on February 7, 2015. The organization provides clothing, layettes, bereavement gowns , and baby beds to the children in need in the Akron area. It is a volunteer group and has no paid staff. All work is dependent on the generosity of its members who work tirelessly for those children who are most in need in our community. I am proud to be a member of this group.
The contest of the basket are fantastic. I would use the contents to cook some food that “takes me. Back to Italy in my mind.” Aahhh.
I love everything ITALIAN!!!
Awesome!!
I love being Italian!
The group is the Christ Child Society and not Chris. I should have proofed my entry.
Throw an amazing holiday party with my closest friends.
I’d invite my Italian traveling buddies over for a feast. We’d have to open a bottle or two of Montefalco Rosso, I think.

Although I’m not Italian, I feel Italian having been married to a talented Italian chef for over 40 years. Although he is not with me anymore, I still cook Italian always! Every item in that basket is one I buy on a regular basis. Always delicious!
Since my husband and I are traveling to his family where we will serve many of these items while we cohost Christmas celebrations I would have this basket sent back home to my father, whom I will be missing back home as he prepares to celebrate his retirement at the end of the year.
I would love to be able to share and enjoy this with my family!

Thank you for the opportunity to win this.

We will share and laugh and enjoy our bounty and bless the people that put this basket together, thanking God for His goodness.
I would prepare an amazing Italian meal! 🙂
I’d definitely share it with my every growing extended family – lots of kids and cousins have two more babies on the way, so it’s never to early to introduce them to the Italian way of life.
A wonderful addition to my Holiday Open House!
I would share this at a holiday party!
My Seabee son will be coming back stateside just in time for Christmas this year. We always have an Italian Thanksgiving, but since he will be unable to be here for Thanksgiving this year, we will be having a special Italian celebration with our family and friends welcoming him back home.
My beloved brother and sister-in-law deserve such a luscious gift!
Wow! What a wonderful gift his would be!!
If I were to win this yummy basket, I would make a feast for my hubby and I to enjoy while we watched a slide show of our 2 weeks in Sperlonga!

I love Italy and its wonderful food!
Definitely time for una festa if I were to win this gorgeous basket!
If I won this basket, I would invite my Italian in-laws for dinner so that we could all enjoy a family meal and gathering.
I usually go to South Philly this time of year to purchase Italian food for my father for Christmas, (he’s 91 years old and family is from Abruzzi and Calabria). This year, due to health issues (mine, not his!) I can’t take the 2 hour trip up there. So — this basket would be a lovely gift for him. Molte grazie!
I’d make a Christmas Eve feast to share with my family and friends with the sumptuous basket of goodies!
I would absolutely love this basket of Italian products as I am 100% Italian and am always trying new ingredients and new recipes of my own as well as from cookbooks.
My Father was from the very North of Italy and my Mother was from Sicily–a real mixture of both and so my world of food has always been fantastic. They are both gone now but memories are always with me of their joy of making authentic meals. Some of my favorites were risotto, homemade ravioli, gnocchi, polenta, all kinds of soups, and pasta, pasta, pasta–makes me hungry just talking about it all.
Buon giorno e Buon Natale
How beautiful. I would just enjoy it with family and try some new recipes!
I would receive the basket with great joy!! Invite some friends and family over to enjoy some real Italian food!!! I am Italian living in Iowa now, originally from Chicago Suburbs, ate many of these yummy foods everyday of my childhood. Moved to Arizona, where I could still get some delicious sausage and chubs and olives!!! But here in Iowa, there is no, let me repeat no good Italian anything. Except what I try to make at home with so, so ingredients. So needless to say, I would buy some wine and enjoy every bite. I would serve the chubs, with the stuffed peppers, and cheese with Italian bread with your olive oil, for our appetizer. with some linguine with my sundried tomato and basil pesto. Coffee and cookies a little later. I am getting hungry writing this!! Blessings to You!!! May your holidays be full of love! Roberta Rossetti
I would share this with my family – what a great opportunity – thank you
hope to win
I’d share with my boyfriend and family since I’m a vegetarian
i would love to win this basket!!!!
my co worker would love this
If fortunate enough to win this basket, I would share with my family and Italian friends…..they shared an amazing gift they received with us (white truffle oil drizzled over Italian cheese and sausage) incredible!!
We’re doing our family Thanksgiving celebration late this year because my sister has to work (works for me, less crowds in the store and traffic on the roads). We do non- traditional cuisine every so often and this year we’re doing Italian (also works for me because I love, love, love pretty much all Italian food). The goodies in this basket not only look seriously delicious but would also be great additions to our holiday meal.
since we live in a small city where their idea of italian is either pizza hut or domino’s I would throw a major party for all my friends and let them taste true italian food.
I would savor this wonderful basket everyday until it was gone…and I don’t think that would take very long! 🙂 Sundays are “Italian Culture” day in our home, and it would be extra special to share this with my family. So excited for this opportunity…Grazie Mille!
I truly believe in food there are memories that are treasured and bequeathed from one generation to the next – this basket would make many special memories for my Family and Friends this year!!
i would share this basket with family – in the spirit of my mom/dad i would raise my food up to the heavens and shout – enjoy this with me !!
I’m going to bring it to my 92 year old Father’s for Christmas, along with several bottles of wine from Puglia (he grew up in Gravina), and share it with my family!
What an amazing gift basket! We will be entertaining over the coming holidays, and this would make our holidays extra special.
I would share this with all the family that we will be celebrating with during the holidays.
I will call a few of my closest friends, have them bring some vino, and we will enjoy a grand celebration with HUGE gratitude to the Mariano family! 😀
I would love to win this basket. I could use a pick me up after the past year of loss. I would use items in the basket to create some wonderful meals for my husband and me to share.
This basket would be a comfort, since I’ll miss Christmas with my Italian family this year.
I am cooking a special family Christmas dinner this year and would make this for them! It would be a real treat! The linguine would be with shrimp and scallops, in a cheese sauce recipe I have. The Amaretti Cookies I have a dessert recipe for those! Nice salad with the balsamic. A pizza sounds good with the Pizza sauce and ingredients too. Coffee. Appetizers with crackers and cheese. And as I type I can think of a couple of other things I could make to feed the family of 8.
Thanks Deb
This basket looks amazing .
What an amazing giveaway opportunity. If I won this I’d invite all 7 of my children and we’d use it to celebrate 2 birthdays that are coming up. Thanks for this chance.
