The restaurant is housed in a mid-nineteenth century building, which was once a private residence, set along Viale Michelangelo with a magnificent panoramic view of Florence. Started in 2003, the restaurant offers gourmet cuisine based on the use of locally-sourced and fresh ingredients with a creative twist. Among the must-tries are yellow pumpkin soup with thyme-flavoured roast quail, Castelmagno cheese sauce and truffle-flavoured quail reduction; fresh sea bass filet with cooked and raw fennels, black olives, dried tomatoes and crustacean reduction. Save some room for the dessert: 72% dark chocolate cream, dehydrated chocolate sponge cake and white chocolate sauce sprinkled with chocolate slivers and cocoa powder.
