Our producers, the heart of our family

We are constantly on the move, travelling every region of the Boot and beyond to ensure we always have the very best produce on our menus, as we have done every season since we first arrived with our little Clio at Salvatore Corso's Caseificio 10 years ago to taste the mozzarella that still appears on every Margherita we make. Or when we met the Gennari family in Emilia-Romagna to discover our legendary 24-month-aged Parmigiano Reggiano.

Our long-term commitment

Since our very first day, we have worked with small, artisanal producers who share our philosophy and are committed to sustainable and responsible production, far removed from the industrial. Instead of turning to large corporations, we prefer to support small artisans. This may complicate logistics a bit, but it allows us to always source the best and most local. And above all, it brings the authentic taste of Italy directly to your plate. We bring back treasures from each of our trips: the Culatello from Lorenzo Bagatto, who produces just 2,500 hams per year in San Daniele; the sun-ripened San Marzano DOP tomatoes from the Agro Sarnese-Nocerino farm of Casa Marrazzo; or the exquisite Prosciutto di Parma DOP/AOC 24-month, which stands out from the crowd with its delicate notes of butter and dried fruit. A ham that, with its elegance and purity, is as simple as it is exceptional, cured with sea salt, wind, and a generous portion of patience from the Leoncini family. Likewise, Salvatore Montrone's burrata and burratina, made in the authentic tradition of his region. Thanks to this unique craftsmanship, passed down from generation to generation, we can enjoy the delicious stracciatella – the creamy part of burrata. There are many more gems we would love to introduce you to, but sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words.
