Company Profile
It all starts at the end of the Second World War, when Luigi Nigro met a beautiful girl, Mara.
With Mara and Luigi, the ‘Ditta Eredi L.Nigro’ was born. Mara makes a living with a lampredotto stall in San Frediano, Luigi by transporting offal all over Tuscany. It is to him that the ‘L.’ in the company’s name belongs and which – by coincidence – is also perfectly suited to his grandson Lorenzo. In the workshop, tripe and lampredotto are cooked on the wood-burning stove. An ancient knowledge, a family recipe passed on to their son Piero and then to Lorenzo. Lorenzo came to an important decision in 1998. And he chooses to carry on the goodness of true Florentine street food. His grandfather Luigi taught him how to recognise good flab, his grandmother Mara how to prepare it to make it delicious. And Lorenzo follows those instructions, those recipes, and gives an extra touch with his vision.
Over and over again, because we never stop. Today we are in our third generation and in the Top 3 of the best streetfood in Italy. You will find us at the biggest concerts and the most spectacular events with our street food. The Florentine kind, the good kind. We organise catering for private events and rent our beautiful trucks. Always exploring new avenues, always looking for new opportunities. Our products are mouth-watering, not to mention the one and only Lamprebox! The fifth quarter is in our blood. We continue to write a story started almost eighty years ago by grandfather Luigi and grandmother Mara. Because that story is our story.
