Stories from the Lucciola Table

This is where we collect the ideas, dinners, wines, ingredients, and moments that define Lucciola. Some stories begin in the kitchen, others at the table, others in the cellar. Together, they reflect our way of thinking about Italian fine dining in New York City: with time, coherence, and intention.

A Journey Through Gattinara

Lucciola, New York's culinary gem, hosted an exclusive Travaglini wine dinner on October 26, 2023. Guided by Alessia Travaglini, guests embarked on a journey through Gattinara's terroir. Each pour—from the vibrant Coste della Sesia 2022 to the ethereal Nebolè—unveiled the region's rich heritage. Chef Michele Massari's culinary artistry enhanced the experience, with dishes thoughtfully paired to complement the wines' nuances. As Alessia shared the family's winemaking legacy, guests were transported to Gattinara's sun-drenched slopes. It was an evening of elegance, flavor, and camaraderie—a celebration of Travaglini's timeless wines and the enduring allure of Italian terroir.
