My deepest sympathy to all the Lucatelli"s. Yolanda was one of the sweetest ladies I have known. I still have her hand written Ricotta cookie recipe she handed me one afternoon when I came into work. She said "I just don't write my recipes for anybody." That meant a lot to me and I smile whenever I come to that recipe in my files and now will cherish it even more. I loved watching her make gnocchi 's! So many memories and good times at the restaurant! Thank You. Peggy Morehouse
