Service area
We had an amazing experience with Lusso e Gusto. They played a key role in helping us plan and book our honeymoon, and everything was seamless from start to finish. Their recommendations were thoughtful, personalized, and made the entire process feel effortless and exciting.
In addition, we selected a set of beautiful plates for our wedding registry through them, and the quality and craftsmanship are outstanding. They truly offer unique, high-end pieces that feel special and lasting. We’re incredibly grateful for their support during such an important time and would highly recommend Lusso e Gusto to anyone planning a special trip or looking for meaningful registry items.
I purchased these plates and bowls as a gift and the bride-to-be was absolutely thrilled! The authenticity and beauty of handmade Italian pottery are unmatched. The artist’s signature makes it feel even more unique. Rina Menardi pottery is the perfect, memorable gift.
About this vendor
Marie B Giordano
SALES DIRECTOR
A bridal shower is about more than gifts — it’s about beginning a home filled with beauty, meaning, and pieces that will be cherished for decades to come.
At Lusso e Gusto, we offer the extraordinary handmade dinnerware of Rina Menardi — hand-crafted in Italy by renowned ceramic artist Rina Menardi. Every plate, bowl, platter, and serving piece is individually formed and finished by hand, making each one truly one-of-a-kind. No two are ever exactly alike.
Unlike traditional department store china selected for convenience, Rina Menardi dinnerware is art for the table — soulful, tactile, timeless, and deeply personal. These are the pieces guests will ask about at every dinner party, the plates that elevate everyday meals into memorable moments, and the heirlooms that will someday be passed down through generations.
For brides who appreciate craftsmanship, beauty, and individuality, a Rina Menardi collection offers something far more meaningful than ordinary registry pieces: a curated table that reflects personal style and refined living.
Whether building a complete dinnerware collection or adding complementary serving pieces over time, each selection becomes part of a layered, collected story — elegant yet effortless, luxurious yet warm.
How can anyone resist owning pieces this unique?
Your bridal shower registry should be as unforgettable as the life you’re creating together.
