Daily News | After cancer and loss, chef Janine Bruno found her purpose in pasta and gelato
one recent day, as Janine Bruno rolled out pasta on the counter in her soon-to-open atelier — a tiny, charming, brick-walled storefront in the Point Breeze neighborhood.
The shop, opening officially on March 25, represents Bruno’s reconnection to her Italian heritage after a series of misfortunes, including a cancer diagnosis six years ago at age 30, a sudden breakup, her grandmother’s death, a layoff, and of course the pandemic. Bruno, who had been in marketing, moved to Philadelphia in 2012 to join a guy she was dating, and took a job in property management. He got sick. “That was a total game-changer,” she said. “But we stayed together.”
That summer, she joined her family on their annual summer trip to Sicily. “I had this really strong connection more than ever to my surroundings, my family, and the food,” she said. “Of course, I’ve always been around food and wine, but it was just like something that was really comforting.” She said she found comfort in going to Sunday Mass at St. Philip Neri in Queen Village, followed by a walk to the Italian Market, where she bought ingredients, went home, popped on Sinatra, and cooked.
