Fine Dining is an art form that can take every day to a new level of sophistication and enjoyment. The Italians do this well. Why have an hour-long lunch when you can take 2 hours, have a little wine, and perhaps a siesta to follow? And this is not the slow-meal movement that I speak of but the everyday noon-time meal.

Every time I visit Italy, I fall into this spell, stopping at small roadside cafés that catch my fancy and then being treated to a sit-down meal – with all the charm in the world. The unhurried service and the hospitality make you feel at home, and the moment becomes a lasting memory. This 20-piece set was similar to one that I saw in a café in Volterra on a recent trip – I liked it so much that I had to investigate and find the source – which turned out to be a small company that makes this locally in Tuscany.

This 20-piece flatware set manufactured and imported from Italy and made with an eye to every detail will grace your table in a manner that will make everyday meals seem special. The twist-shaped handles feature variegated swirls and are ideal for place settings with a contemporary aesthetic.
