Meet Jen
Founder & Director, Little Miss Tavola
Founder & CEO, Jentaly
Hi, I’m Jen.
I founded Little Miss Tavola to share my love of Tuscany with travellers who, like me, are captivated by the charm of this beautiful region. My journey with Italy started over two decades ago when I first lived near Florence, falling rapidly in love with the food, culture, and the generosity of the local community. For me, travel should be immersive and meaningful. I created LMT to offer such experiences. I’ve been a Chef for over thirty years in Australia, Hong Kong and Italy. A Villa Manager across Italy, Switzerland and the UK with a background in domestic personal service since 2001, I’ve spent these years developing close relationships with Tuscan and other Italian artisans, winemakers, high net worth individuals, families and nobility. Being bilingual allows me to connect deeply with locals bringing authenticity to your LMT experience.
I’m a Certified Integrative Nutritional Health Coach. So, understanding connection, staying active, and the benefits of wholesome foods are fundamentals I live by. It would be my pleasure to encourage you to participate in the Tuscany I know.
When I’m not working, you’ll likely find me by the sea, or learning the sweetness of doing nothing. “ Dolce far niente “
Meet Pina
Managing Partner, Little Miss Tavola
Ciao! I'm Pina.
Born and raised in Melbourne by Italian immigrant parents, I grew up immersed in the best of both worlds, combining the Aussie spirit with the richness of Italian culture. From an early age, food, tradition, and the importance of family gatherings have always been at the heart of everything I do.
For over 20 years, I’ve been a primary school teacher, shaping the minds of students across all levels, while also sharing my passion for the Italian language with eager learners. In addition, I’ve spent many years in hospitality, working alongside family in catering and restaurant businesses. My love for wellness and wellbeing is just as strong — I’ve been dedicated to Pilates for years, and I find peace in outdoor walks, whether it’s through countryside trails or along the beach. When not outdoors, you’ll likely find me exploring art galleries or indulging in all kinds of music. But my true joy is found in gathering with friends and family over a beautiful meal, sharing stories, and creating memories.
Italy, my ancestral home, holds a deep and unbreakable bond in my heart. I’ve travelled there countless times, with each visit enriching my love for its people, traditions, and stunning landscapes.
Through our journeys, I aim to take you beyond the well-worn tourist paths and introduce you to the Tuscany we know and love — a place where life is humble, health and wellbeing are at the centre, and every meal is a celebration of local, organic produce. Picture yourself savouring wine at a hidden vineyard, walking through idyllic farms, and watching the sunset during a relaxed picnic.
Join me in exploring a Tuscany that’s rooted in wellness, tradition, and heartfelt moments. Together, we’ll create memories that reflect and celebrate the small joys and meaningful experiences that make life so rich.
Benvenuti a tutti!
