ANNA
Anna Lai, Italian born, lives and works in Berlin since 2006. An Ivy league educated journalist, she has found her true calling in hospitality, when she co-founded both Big Stuff Smoked BBQ in the Markthalle Neun, and the first street food market in Berlin. At LaFlor, she oversaw the design and renovations, and is behind the quirky collaborations and the liasons with Berlin’s independent cultural scene.
Besides her work at LaFlor, she is very passionate about her wine shop Mezzacantina, a quirky neighbourhood shop in Kreuzberg, specialized in direct imports of wine by small scale producers from Italy and beyond.
