Lucille Campilongo was born Lucia Burrafato on March 30, 1930 in San Francisco, California. She grew up in the North Beach district of San Francisco which, at the time, was dominated by Italian Americans and Italian immigrants. Central to their culture was, and still is, the importance of food. Not only necessary for mere sustenance, its preparation, and the dining experience that followed, seemed to give the rhythm and the life force that characterized the neighborhood. Even today, it is difficult to think of North Beach without thinking of food.
Lucille learned the arts of cooking and homemaking from her mother. In addition, Italian neighbors often shared their recipes amongst each other. Never afraid of experimentation, Lucille's dishes have elements of almost every region in Italy and some American influences as well.
Lucille currently resides in San Rafael, California with her husband, Victor.
