Our Story

From Abruzzo,
by way of Melbourne

Our story begins in Abruzzo, Italy, with the home cooking that inspired Finuccio, affectionately known as Fino.

In 1955, Fino brought those traditions to Melbourne and started a small catering business specialising in Italian food. At the heart of his cooking was a Napoli sauce recipe that would become part of the family’s story, passed down to his son, Renzo, who continues to make it today.

In 2020, Renzo and Sam launched the brand to bring Italian family cooking to everyday Australian tables. Drawing on traditional recipes and years of experience in the kitchen, they created a range of fresh, ready-to-eat meals built around quality ingredients, generous portions and authentic flavour.

The secret is in the sauce

The Aston Lucas Difference

Why it tastes like home

01

Crafted in Melbourne

Every meal, dessert and Grab & Go item is produced in our own Campbellfield kitchen — solar powered, and made fresh each morning.

02

Premium Australian ingredients

Victorian and Australian-grown produce, sourced close to home and used the week it arrives. No preservatives, ever.

03

Authentic Italian recipes

The same Abruzzese family recipes Fino brought to Melbourne in 1955 — still made by his son, still unchanged.

Gluten Free

The gluten free range

The newest part of the range, and the one we're proudest of — the same dishes, made gluten free, so a diagnosis doesn't mean eating differently to everyone else at the table.
