Nestled between the rolling hills and the stunning coastline of Tuscany, Lucca is a land of unmatched beauty and flavor. From its rich history and charming villages to its lush landscapes, this is a region where nature provides a bounty of exceptional ingredients. Barbara and Stephanie, with their deep love for this land, have made it their mission to celebrate the flavors of Tuscany by sourcing only the finest, locally-produced ingredients. Their passion for the land shines through in every dish, as they handpick the best produce from small, sustainable farmers, ensuring that every meal is a true reflection of Tuscany’s incredible terroir.
The beauty of Tuscany is not just in its landscapes but in its food. The fertile hills around Lucca are home to some of Italy’s best vegetables, from vibrant tomatoes and sweet peppers to fragrant herbs and leafy greens. In the Garfagnana region, the rich soil produces high-quality meats, such as tender pork and flavorful wild game, perfect for traditional Italian recipes. But the culinary magic doesn’t stop there — the Versilia coast, just a short distance away, offers fresh, top-tier fish, including delicate anchovies, succulent sea bass, and tender squid. Barbara and Stephanie go the extra mile to discover the very best ingredients from local farmers and small producers. They believe that the true essence of Tuscan cuisine lies in the quality of these raw materials, and by supporting local artisans, they are helping to preserve the region’s culinary heritage.
