As we are readying for our next trip with BPP Tours to Florence, Italy and the Tuscan region, I am confirming dinner reservations to what has become one of our most popular and favorite items on our trip agenda and that is our evening at the Gucci Osteria restaurant in the heart of Florence. This world-renowned restaurant, which only opened its doors in January of 2018 has fast become one of the main attractions in this food-lovers dream of a city. The playful space mixes traditional decor with bright modern colors and artwork. The food, which is conceptualized and updated regularly is the creation of 3 times Michelin award winning chef Mossimo Bottura. Bottura, in a perfect ‘marriage’ with Gucci Creative Director Alessandro Michele, has created a menu that is light, simple and imaginative……a refreshing change in a city of pasta and pizzas that we love! It should be noted that because Gucci was founded in 1921 in the city of Firenze, half of all proceeds goes toward funding restoration projects in this beautiful city, overflowing with ancient art and Renaissance history!
(Hot-off-the-Press, it should be noted: if you are looking to partake in this amazing experience, due to some cancellations, there are a few seats available for the upcoming May 2019 trip and we would love to have you. If interested, don’t hesitate, please contact M.A. Shute at bpptours.com or myself at roz@myredglasses.com. We’d love to chat and tell you more about this very special opportunity.)
Located in the Gucci Garden complex which is the newly renovated Gucci Museum, located in a 14th century palazzo, near the Palazzo Vechio at Piazza della Signoria 10. The Garden includes not only the Gucci Osteria but Gucci items designed for and available exclusively only in a retail space dedicated to promoting the brand and its history.
Below are some of our favorite moments with BPP Tours of our visits to this highly acclaimed restaurant….a special memory of each of our trips!
