The mantra of "dine, wine, and travel" is the framework for this memoir. Vincent DiLoreto had two professional careers: retiring from the first after twenty years as an officer in military service and retiring from the second after another twenty years in the Aerospace and Defense industry where he ultimately served as president of a high-tech company. However, after his retirement, he transitioned to his soul-searing, unbridled passion for gourmet food and fine wine. He pursued formal training as a chef and a sommelier. Extensive world travel enriched his exposure to exotic cuisine and uncommon wine. His wife of over fifty years, Donna Lee, has enthusiastically shared and contributed to his passion to "dine, wine, and travel." Share their lifetime adventure in Plated Ecstasy.

The Other Side is a sensitive, candid portrait of an immigrant culture from a third-generation perspective. Vincent Panella portrays his family in Italian villages and American neighborhoods, and what emerges is a critical but loving view of the Italian-American experience: its cloying love, intense frugality, obsession with security, and its strong sense of family cohesion. He writes of his boyhood in Queens, New York, his father's efforts to shape his life, and of the fact that “to be a member of an Italian family is never to be simply yourself.” The Other Side is also Vincent Panella’s personal journey, from rejection of his family to a realization that he cannot escape or deny his origins. This final recognition emerges after an extended visit to Italy, where he comes to know those in his family who remained behind. Thus Vincent Panella has written a book of journeys: a family’s journey from southern Italy to Hell’s Kitchen and the New York suburbs, a young man’s journey to a sense of identity. The story is given an added dimension by the author’s wife, Susan Sichel: Through her own photographs, and through her selection of photographs from family albums, Ms. Sichel further evokes the life and times of three generations of an immigrant family.
