About us

Welcome to The Best of Both, where Italy meets Ireland in every bite.

This project is the vision of Valerio Gasparri, who brings years of experience as a food supplier and restaurant owner. His passion for quality ingredients, authentic flavors, and warm hospitality is the heart behind everything we do.

Created in collaboration with Arduino Fusano, this venture is rooted in shared values, culinary heritage, and a deep love for both countries.

We believe the best moments in life are shared around the table — whether it's a hearty Irish breakfast or a long Italian lunch. That’s why we created The Best of Both: a shop that blends the finest products and traditions from the two cultures we love.

From artisan pastas and sauces sourced directly from Italy, to handmade Irish cheeses, jams, and baked goods, our collection is all about quality, authenticity, and the joy of good food. You’ll find beloved classics from each country — and unique combinations that bring them together in new and delicious ways.

We’re just getting started. The website is at the beginning of its journey, and we’re expanding with new products every week. We also have plenty of exciting projects and surprises in store — and we can’t wait to share them with you.

Buon appetito. Sláinte!
