The Lusso e Gusto Story

French Chic. Italian Soul.

Lusso e Gusto was founded by Marie B Giordano in 2015, while she was living in the Langhe Hills of Piedmont—an area internationally renowned for its exceptional cuisine, prestigious wines, and breathtaking landscapes. With a background in the hospitality world, Marie B was naturally drawn to the region’s rich gastronomic heritage. Immersed in this refined culinary culture, she was inspired to create bespoke journeys that reveal Italy through its most authentic and elevated epicurean experiences.

Born in France and shaped by Italy, Marie B brings a lifelong devotion to Italian culture to a discreet, highly personal practice.

Each journey begins with a conversation and unfolds through privileged access to Italy’s finest culinary traditions—private tastings, intimate meals, and encounters with those who define the country’s gastronomic excellence. Every experience is personally curated with precision, discretion, and care. Select journeys extend to the South of France with the same philosophy.

Access is private. Experiences are bespoke. Nothing is repeated, nothing is rushed.

Italy, as it is meant to be tasted—intimately, and without compromise.

"Italy’s artistry is a rich, sensory symphony that flows through clay, fabric, and cuisine — It’s a place where tradition and innovation dance together beautifully."
