The Lucciola Experience

A dining experience built around time, taste, and conversation.

At Lucciola, the experience begins before the first course. We listen to preferences, memories, textures, and flavors, then guide the table through a tasting menu shaped by food, wine, and the rhythm of the evening.

The Giusti Experience

A dedicated tasting journey through one of Italy’s most historic balsamic traditions.

At Lucciola, the Giusti Experience brings depth, maturity, and balance to the table. Through guided tastings and dishes designed by the kitchen, aged Giusti balsamic vinegar becomes part of a contemporary Italian fine dining experience.

A wine store shelf filled with numerous bottles of wine, each with a yellow or orange label attached. The bottles are organized in rows horizontally and vertically, with some bottles lying horizontally at the bottom and upright bottles stacked vertically above. There are also some wine glasses or decanters at the bottom right corner. The shelves are made of wood, and the background features a decorative wall panel.

Wine Pairings & Wine Club

Our wine pairings are designed to move with the rhythm of the tasting menu. Each glass is selected to create a dialogue between the dish, the bottle, and the moment at the table.

Lucciola Wine Club brings together collectors, curious minds, producers, and guests around intimate wine tasting dinners, producer-led evenings, and curated conversations about wine.
