My Favorite Things

Gherardo Guarducci moved to New York over three decades ago, but he’s nonetheless cemented his Italian roots in Manhattan—and the U.S. at large—thanks to his portfolio of Milanese-inspired restaurants, which includes Casa Lever and Sant Ambroeus, where the style set gathers for cappuccinos and insalata centocolori. Here, Guarducci shares his matters of taste

Cariuma

$79

Men’s Oca Low-Top Off-White Canvas Sneaker

“I love Cariuma’s sneakers and their commitment to the environment. I just purchased my first pair after being introduced to the brand by my daughter.”

C.O. Bigelow

$22

Bergamot Hand Wash

“New York has been my home for almost 35 years, and I have enjoyed shopping at Bigelow for just as many years. Their hand wash is a staple in my washrooms.”

Selfridges

$385

The Sweet Christmas Hamper

“My eldest daughter used to live in London, and we would often go to Selfridges to buy holiday hampers for friends and family. I am so excited that they will be carrying our cookie tins this year.”

Rimowa

$675

Essential Lite Cabin S Suitcase

“I’ve been flying to Milan a lot recently as we just reopened the original Sant Ambroeus. I’ve found that I much prefer traveling with a carry-on. Rimowa’s is just big enough to hold everything and still fit in the overhead compartment.”

James Perse

$165

Lotus Cotton-Jersey T-Shirt

“Alireza Niroomand, our creative director, introduced me to Mr. Porter when he was one of their brand ambassadors. It’s now my go-to shop for my two sons who both love James Perse T-shirts.”

Gio Ponti

$3,200

1960s Ponti 969 Chair

“My wife, Sam Tannehill, is an interior designer. We spend a lot of time together looking at all the special items 1stDibs has featured. She loves Gio Ponti furniture.”

Royal Canin

$75.99

Dry Dog Food

“We have two dogs, Lapo, a black Labrador, and Harry, an Australian Shepard. They love Royal Canin.”

The Attico

$1,750

Piaf Black Long Pants

“The Webster is my go-to store to shop for my two daughters. I just purchased these trousers by The Attico, who we collaborated with last year, for my youngest.”

Sant Ambroeus

$46

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

“I always make sure to bring a hostess gift from our retail line whenever I am a guest. I especially love our olive oil.”
