"Sunday Opening" Restaurants in Toscana
At Palazzo Portinari in the centre of Florence, chef Vito Mollica offers flavourful Michelin-starred cuisine with a focus on fish. The attentive service and the wine list, which bears the signature of Clizia Zuin, make for a great experience.
Rocco de Santis' cuisine is honest, yet imaginative and original, with exciting contrasts. The service is precise and courteous. The wine list is extensive and allows for creative pairings, as do the cocktails to match the menu.
The restaurant at the Hotel Lungarno stands for elegance and exclusivity. Claudio Mengoni's cuisine offers refined dishes inspired by Italian tradition. The wine list compiled by Salvatore Biscotti with over a thousand labels is a temptation.
A cuisine inspired by Italian gastronomic traditions. Authentic and simple dishes that surprise, prepared with herbs, fruit and vegetables from the villa's 15th century permaculture garden. Refined atmosphere.
Florence lies at our feet when we look out of this restaurant. On the plates are dishes from Italian and Tuscan cuisine; well considered creations with a strong focus on seasonality, modernity and innovation. Excellent service.
Karime Lopez and Takahiko Kondo are responsible for the restaurant's cuisine, which bears the conceptual signature of Massimo Bottura. Italy, Mexico and Japan come together in the dishes. Their flair convinces and inspires; a taste experience.
Inside Villa Bardini there is a modern restaurant, which in summer has a romantic terrace with a view of Florence. Chef Filippo Saporito focuses on local ingredients and recipes, with a touch of innovation. Good wine selection, young service.
Hotel Villa Cora is home to an elegant bistro, which moves to the garden next to the swimming pool in summer and to the Sala Moresca in winter. It serves reinterpretations of Tuscan cuisine in a modern style with a refined touch.
