Owner & Creative Director

A lifelong Northeastern Ohio native, Lisa grew up in McDonald, Ohio. McDonald is a small village, sandwiched between Cleveland and Pittsburgh. North Eastern Ohio is dripping with rich culture, amazing families, loyal friends and fabulous food traditions. Lisa spent most Sunday evenings at her Grandmother’s house. Jennie Marino’s house was small but had large amounts of love, laughter and delicious Italian food.  As fate would have it...Lisa's table has  organically grown to become the gathering place for all of her tribes events. It’s not unusual to find Lisa’s table draped with her family and friends, topped with copious amounts of food and bursting with love and laughter. All of this has become the force behind Love Soup and Lisa’s desire to share her love of feeding people…Mind, Body and Soul!
