Can you tell us a little backstory on how this soirée came to be? Chloe stopped by the shop to grab a few things and we started chatting about our supper club concept. Of course after over a year of scheduling conflicts on both ends to make an event happen, in that moment a date was thrown out and it worked perfectly. It only felt right that Chloe be our debut chef.

Last but not least, can you tell us a bit about Bucatini?

We first met over a bowl of spaghetti vongole in a favorite local Italian haunt, Speranza. What began as a mutual love of food quickly developed into a beautiful friendship. We each dreamed of starting something that didn’t exist in Los Angeles: a space that brought together grocery, giving, and a dining experience. We founded the shop out of an excitement for quality goods and a desire to bring people together through the kitchen. But what mattered more to us than the innovation of this brand was its romantic heart. An old world feeling of both space and product was our main focus, and hopefully something that can be felt immediately when you walk through Bucatini’s door.
