INSIDE MASSIMO BOTTURA'S NEW FLORENCE RESTAURANT


Chef Massimo Bottura’s new restaurant in Florence, a collaboration with Italian fashion house Gucci, opened to the public 3 days ago.

The 50-seat Gucci Osteria, which is housed inside the newly renovated Gucci Garden Galleria, formerly the Gucci Museo, in the 14th century Palazzo della Mercanzia, will offer an entirely new menu of Italian classics with an interational twist, including “Parmigiano Reggiano tortellini, Peruvian-inspired tostadas, pork belly buns and mushroom risotto,” priced at around €20-30 per dish, according to Reuters. Chef Ana Karime Lopez Kondo will head up the kitchen and the restaurant will be open throughout the day.




The theme is most definitely green, with lines from a 15th-century Medici carnival song written in gold script on the restaurant’s stone tablet-lined walls, according to The Spaces. "The restaurant is a reminder that Florence has always been a centre of cultural exchange, particularly during the Renaissance," says Bottura.
