About Us

Our story

Luca Fanni's passion for food goes back a long way, but it solidified when, thanks to a job opportunity, he moved to America and became a business partner in a store selling gourmet Italian food products, and at the same time, a chef in the attached trattoria.

The products are meticulously chosen, by directly meeting the producers at their companies or at industry fairs in Italy. This led to a close collaboration that also resulted in the creation of an import company which quickly became a distributor for gourmet stores and Italian restaurants in Pennsylvania and in major cities on the East Coast.

Luca decided to bring his experience back to Italy with Nostrale Italian Selection, a company that maintains trusted relationships with historical producers and positions itself on the national and international market with the aim of researching, discovering, and promoting companies that offer typical Italian products of superior quality.

Nostrale Italian Selection, thanks to its catalog of food excellences and the service offered to customers, grew very rapidly over the years, and in 2023, it solidified a fundamental partnership with Mondial Transport Group S.r.l., a true excellence in logistics and transport services. This led to the creation of Nostrale Gourmet S.r.l., which positions itself even more strongly in the market for the distribution of high-quality food products.
