Gucci Osteria da Massimo Bottura

Florence’s cosmopolitan credentials receive a boost with Karime Lopez and Takahiko Kondo’s cuisine, served in this modern, lively restaurant that bears the name of theatrical chef Massimo Bottura. The cuisine overseen by these excellent cooks demonstrates an openness to the rest of the world, with influences and reinterpretations of dishes from other countries, as well as Italy and Modena in particular. In addition to the à la carte, there are two tasting menus (I Nostri Souvenirs and Le Nostre Nuove Memorie) and - only for lunch the Breve Viaggio in Osteria. A visit to the Gucci Garden, an elegant museum on the upper floors dedicated to the famous fashion house, is highly recommended.
