A Gluten-Free Evening To Remember

We are getting ready to welcome our guests at the next 100% Gluten Free Getaway in Lucca on September 7th. The villa is looking beautiful and jovial’s real food retreat is going to be absolutely fabulous. Once again, local chef Aurelio Barattini, will prepare an authentic Tuscan feast that will not feel gluten free at all, just authentic and delicious. Here is the menu for our welcome dinner.
