The story of Luca

Two Italians in Nijmegen with a simple wish: to bring authentic Italian culinary culture to the Netherlands, made of small-scale producers, time-honored recipes, and ingredients you won't find in ordinary Dutch supermarkets. This project was made possible thanks to a group of Italian-Dutch friends who helped us bridge the two cultures.

This is how LUCA was born: a curated selection of products, carefully chosen one by one, created for the Italian far from home, for the Dutch lover of Italian cuisine, and for anyone wishing to discover something special.

  • Alongside our commercial products, we collaborate directly with Italian producers of pasta, wine, oil, coffee, and truffle products. Each is deeply rooted in their own region and faithful to traditional methods passed down for generations. Our wine begins in the vineyard, our pasta is handcrafted according to tradition: everything comes directly from Italy to your home, with the same passion of those who made it.
