Our flagship location in the beautiful Caribbean Surf Town of Rincon, Puerto Rico is getting a sister! The Mangia Mi girls are bringing their unique culinary stylings to the laid back, cozy, and picturesque town of Calistoga, northern Napa Valley!
Mangia MI is the brainchild of Chef Rebecca White-Keefe and Wine-O Kara Keefe, established in 2016.
The girls met in Key West, where Rebecca was running several pop up restaurants and Kara was working as a wine representative. Their travels found them in Rincon, Puerto Rico, where they not only fell in love with the island, the people, and the culture, but eventually got married on the beach with 30 of their closest friends and relatives and opened the original brick and mortar, Mangia Mi.
Rebecca White Keefe (Chef/Co-owner and winner of the Food Network's "Cooks vs Cons" 2016)
Born and raised near New Haven, Connecticut graduated college from Emerson in Boston, Massachusetts. She's had a passion for cooking all of her life and grew up making huge Italian feasts side by side with her family each and every Sunday. Through running her first restaurant in Connecticut, food trucks and pop up locations over the years she's been afforded the time to fine tune her craft. Inspired everyday by her surroundings, It's always exciting to see what she will come up with next!
Kara Keefe (Wine-O/Co-owner)
Born and raised in the shore area of New Jersey, graduated from Georgian Court College and developed a love for the hospitality interest very early on. She began working for a fine wine distributor and it was this job that developed her genuine obsession with wine. Her dream for over 15 years was to land in Napa Valley to take in all of the obvious history and beauty that it has to offer.
Goal achieved! (CHECK!!)
