The Brunch Club

For more than two decades, two generations the Luhan family have set the standard for Orange County’s ever-evolving culinary landscape. The first to introduce the use of fresh pasta to the local dining scene, the Luhans were also the first to manufacture their own line of homemade olive oils made on the premise of their farm in Tuscany and shipped to their OC restaurants.

Lucy Luhan is a first-generation Italian, born in Connecticut, was raised in a European household where old traditional values and customs prevailed. Making fresh pasta was a daily activity. With an extended family of relatives from Italy, traditional food habits predominated. Fruits and vegetables grown in the family gardens were canned every summer and wine made every fall.
