๐ Behind the Scenes: How LucAle Sources Authentic Italian Ingredients
When you step into LucAle, nestled in the heart of Sai Ying Pun, Hong Kong, youโre not just dining at another Italian restaurantโyouโre experiencing Italy itself. Every dish tells a story of tradition, craftsmanship, and passion. But what makes our flavors so unmistakably Italian? The secret lies in the ingredients we source and the journey they take before reaching your plate.
๐ฎ๐น A Direct Connection to Italy
Our chefs, Alessandro Angelini and Luca De Berardinis, believe that authenticity begins at the source. Thatโs why LucAle partners directly with artisanal producers across Italy. From the rolling hills of Emilia-Romagna to the sun-kissed vineyards of Tuscany, we select suppliers who share our dedication to quality and tradition.
Salumi & Prosciutto: We import premium cured meats from small family-run producers in Parma, where recipes have been perfected over generations.
Cheese: Our burrata and Parmigiano Reggiano come from dairies that still respect age-old methods, ensuring rich flavor and texture.
Olive Oil: Extra virgin olive oil is sourced from boutique farms in Puglia, pressed within hours of harvest for maximum freshness.
โ๏ธ From Italy to Hong Kong
Sourcing authentic ingredients is only half the story. Ensuring they arrive in Hong Kong at peak quality requires meticulous logistics. We work with trusted distributors who specialize in temperature-controlled transport, so every truffle, salumi, and wheel of cheese arrives exactly as it shouldโready to elevate your dining experience.
๐ท Pairing Tradition with Innovation
LucAleโs menu is a balance of heritage and creativity. By combining imported Italian staples with seasonal Hong Kong produce, our chefs craft dishes that feel both familiar and surprising. Think handmade pasta infused with local flavors, paired with wines that travel thousands of miles from Italyโs finest vineyards.

In a city as vibrant and diverse as Hong Kong, diners crave genuine experiences. At LucAle, authenticity isnโt a buzzwordโitโs our promise. Every bite reflects the care, passion, and heritage of Italy, brought to life right here in Sai Ying Pun.
