The husband-and-wife team moved from Florence, Italy to New Haven, CT in 2002 to open L’Orcio Restaurant. After spending years eating their way through the Italian countryside, the idea for L’Orcio came up one day over a particularly delicious dish of wild boar ragù in one of their favorite spots. The idea was a simple one: they wanted to share the culinary wealth of the many regions of Italy in one restaurant. They decided to stick with classic Italian food, the kind you would expect when visiting a small local eatery in a small charming town where no one speaks English.
