Savor the experience,
remember the moments.
Tavola Savorista is a gastronomic project born in Montepulciano, in the heart of Tuscany, from a simple yet ambitious idea: to bring back the true value of sharing a meal. In a fast-paced world, the table becomes a place to slow down and reconnect, where flavours intertwine with stories, people and places, turning a simple meal into an experience worth remembering.
The project was born from a desire to celebrate gastronomy as an expression of culture, discovery and connection. It brings together tradition and innovation, showcasing the finest local ingredients and culinary treasures of Tuscany while embracing the curiosity to explore new flavours, techniques and interpretations.
Whether it’s a private dining experience in a Tuscan villa, a cooking class or gastronomic consultancy, every experience is shaped by passion, expertise and thoughtful attention. Nothing is left to chance: listening, creativity and care for every detail are at the heart of what we do. Because we believe that food is more than nourishment: it has the power to bring people together, stir emotions and create lasting memories.
That is why Tavola Savorista exists: to create authentic gastronomic experiences that tell the story of a place and leave something meaningful long after the last bite.
Behind Tavola Savorista is Giulio Lombardelli, gastronome, chef and founder, who has chosen to make food not just his profession, but a way to explore, understand and tell the stories of the world around him.
His background allows him to explore gastronomy in all its dimensions, from the cultural to the technical and emotional, combining knowledge, creativity and attention to detail. His approach comes to life through a deep appreciation for quality ingredients, a strong connection to the local territory and a constant curiosity for new interpretations of flavour.
This vision gave life to Tavola Savorista: a project where cooking becomes a way to connect, discover and share, creating gastronomic experiences that tell the stories of places, people and flavours.
Because food, above all, is a way to discover and connect.
Andrea’s passion for food and wine has taken him around the world, working in the hospitality industry and exploring different cultures, traditions and ways of experiencing food. A journey that has fuelled his curiosity and enriched his understanding of wine and the way he shares its stories.
The desire to share the experiences gained abroad eventually brought him back to his roots in Tuscany, where he chose to put his knowledge and passion into helping visitors discover the region’s finest food and wine traditions.
A sommelier with a WSET Level 3 certification, Andrea loves sharing the world of wine through the stories, places and people behind every bottle. His approach combines expertise with spontaneity, making wine approachable, engaging and free from unnecessary formalities.
For Andrea, every glass is an opportunity to share a discovery, create connections and introduce people to Tuscany through one of its most authentic treasures.
