Catering & Hospitality Group
Sardegna & Toscana
Experiences in dining and hospitality born in Tuscany with a Sardinian heart.
Sardegna & Toscana is a group operating at 360° in catering and hospitality. From restaurants to accommodation facilities, from catering to private events, and including consulting and private chef services, we combine tradition and innovation to create authentic experiences. Our mission is to transform every encounter into a memory, inspired by transumanza: the journey that brings people, cultures, and flavors together.
The Transhumance of Taste and Hospitality
The history of the Sardegna & Toscana group was born from an encounter that deeply marked Italian food and wine culture. In the 1960s, Sardinian shepherds arrived in Tuscany, bringing with them not only their flocks but also traditions, flavors, and an authentic way of experiencing community.
From that encounter, a unique blend was born, made of cuisine, hospitality, and human bonds that revitalized entire territories. Today, our group embraces that spirit and projects it into the present: uniting two different yet complementary lands, transforming the journey of transhumanance into a living metaphor of our identity.
The group's name and vision were born right during a journey towards Florence, a moment of reflection in which we brought together our professional and personal experiences, transforming them into a common project. Like transhumance, that car ride was also a symbol of movement, adaptation, and encounter: the spark that led us to imagine a brand capable of crossing territories and cultures, bringing the best of Sardinia and Tuscany into every dish, every room, and every event.`
Our values
Transhumance, with its continuous movement in search of more fertile pastures, is for us a metaphor that describes movement, adaptation, and encounter. It is the image that best represents our way of understanding catering and hospitality: a journey that never stops, but evolves while remaining faithful to its roots.
We believe in authenticity, in the respect for Sardinian and Tuscan traditions, and in the ability to transform them into contemporary experiences.
Every project is born from consistency and presence, qualities that allow us to build solid relationships with our guests and with the partners who choose to work with us.
Hospitality, for us, means making everyone feel at home. It is this value that guides our restaurants, accommodation facilities, catering services, and consulting, creating a common thread between different territories, people, and cultures.

Vision and Mission
Our vision is to create a bridge between Sardinia and Tuscany, two lands that have been able to meet and influence one another, giving life to a new way of experiencing catering and hospitality. We don’t just want to unite two traditions, but to transform them into a language capable of speaking to everyone, today.
Our mission is more intimate and simple: to bring back to life that memory we all carry within us. The scent of freshly baked bread, Sunday family lunches, the lightheartedness of the early years of life. Even those without Tuscan or Sardinian roots must find that feeling of "home" when entering our facilities—a warmth that belongs to childhood and remains etched in memory.

These experiences have allowed him to refine his managerial skills and a unique sensitivity toward catering and hospitality.`
