For this Celebrity Traveler story, Susan Reimer caught up with Donna Crivello, founder of Donna's restaurants and coffee bars, who returned to her family's native Sicily in August for some hands-on culinary inspiration.

Crivello watched her Mount Vernon flagship restaurant burn down last December. Nothing official has been said yet about the return of Donna's to the Park Plaza building, which is still being restored. But Crivello acknowledges that she took the trip with a new Donna's in mind.
