Find out all about the Taste Of The Italian Coast

Italy’s long, sun-drenched coastline has inspired some of the world’s most celebrated culinary traditions. From the fishing villages of Tuscany to the bright, sea-swept shores of Calabria, coastal Italian cooking is defined by simplicity, freshness, and deep respect for the ocean. Fishermen have long brought the morning’s catch straight to local kitchens, where it is paired with sweet, sun-ripened tomatoes, regional olive oil, fresh herbs, and bronze-die extruded pasta designed to hold every last drop of flavour.

These classic recipes embody the relaxed, joyful nature of Mediterranean dining—long lunches by the sea, vibrant dinners shared with loved ones, and dishes that let the quality of simple, superb ingredients shine through.

Now, you can bring the authentic flavours of the Italian coastline straight to your kitchen with A Taste Of The Italian Coast, Carluccio's curated medium hamper box of traditional seafood sauces and artisan bronze-die pasta. It offers everything you need to create effortless, restaurant-quality seafood dinners at home.

From tender octopus slow-cooked in a rich Tuscan-style sauce to delicate red mullet gently simmered with sweet tomatoes and Mediterranean herbs, classic Sugo alle Vongole, and a range of perfect pasta pairings, this box is crafted to whisk you straight back to sunny holidays gone by.
