Brand We Love: Bella Cucina

Meet, Bella Cucina 

A lifestyle brand that creates small batch culinary accoutrements with flavors that resemble the heart of the hills of Italy.  

When we first discovered Bella Cucina, we were immediately inspired by their curated selection of artisanal foods and knew each would bring a unique component to our offerings.  

Whether used for gifting or gathering, each spread brings a flavor profile that instantly elevates the occasion.  

The craftsmanship and artisanal selection from Bella Cucina brings a new approach to entertaining and gathering. We knew their selection would be the perfect pairing alongside our collections of serving essentials to bring each of you the assortment you need to host any and every gathering. 

 

About Bella Cucina  

Through her heart of crafting culinary accoutrements, Alisa Barry wanted her passion for cooking to be enjoyed by all. We share a similar sentiment and are always looking for ways to bring in a fresh approach to dining and hosting.  

“In the early nineties, Alisa Barry opened a café in Atlanta to share her passion for cooking and eating as an artful ritual. Inspired by her culinary training in California and sabbaticals in the hill towns of Italy, she created a simple menu made with locally sourced ingredients.”  

From fresh basil pesto to homemade Rustico flatbread, the assortment of finds from Bella Cucina are always made with local ingredients.  

One of our favorite ways to gather is through hosting friends and family for an impromptu happy hour filled with the delicious assortment from Bella Cucina.  

 

Through their curated assortment of artful foods, we knew Bella Cucina’s similar passion for sharing a meal with those you love would resonate with our values of gathering and celebrating each day.  

“First we eat, then we do everything else.”  

Bella Cucina’s selection of fresh spreads and complementary ingredients provide the perfect array of appetizers for any gathering or celebration.  

 

Here are a few pairing ideas for your next gathering:  

• Place a Tomato Pesto Spread in a Signature White Ruffle Flare Small Bowl along with a Signature White Oval Platter for the accompanying toast points or fresh cherry tomatoes.  

• Layer your charcuterie display with a variety of spreads and pesto along with coordinating utensils such as a Signature White Knob Spreader.

• Prep the Basil Pesto Spread in an Iris Blue Pip Ruffle Appetizer Bowl for guests to enjoy along with a few toasted flatbreads layered on a Serving Board for the perfect display.
