Donna Lennard opened her famed New York restaurant, Il Buco, with a vison to create more than a dining space, but a community where ideas could be exchanged over the comfort of food. With her houseware line, Il Buco Vita, Lennard's dream is perfected in lovingly worn Mediterranean dishes, handcrafted in central and southern Italy. The dishware is meant to be a centerpiece around which love and family grows.
