As a chef and entrepreneur nestled in the heart of Long Island's North Fork, Lauren Lombardi is dedicated to the art of cooking seasonally and harnessing the bounty of the North Fork region's local ingredients.

 

Lauren’s culinary journey began at the French Culinary Institute in NYC, but it was her upbringing in the hospitality industry that instilled a deep appreciation for the connection between food and community.  

 

In 2014, she opened an epicurean shop, Lombardi’s Love Lane Market in charming Mattituck, NY. Collaborating closely with local vineyards, farms, and food artisans, she is committed to showcasing the unparalleled quality and freshness of our region's offerings. From farm-fresh produce to locally caught seafood & sustainable wine, every ingredient tells a story of the local land and the passionate individuals who cultivate it.

 

Lauren’s mission is simple: to invite guests to savor the essence of the east end through every bite, and to foster a sense of togetherness around the shared table. Devoted to executing artfully catered weddings and events, her bespoke catering business has been featured in Vogue Weddings and Brides Magazine. She is a contributor to the local monthly publication, Northforker Magazine, specializing in seasonal recipes & entertaining tips.
