Italia EnogastronomicaItalia Enogastronomica
Although our identity is strongly linked to our territory and to Florentine and Tuscan cuisine, we blindly believe that the biodiversity of our country is an invaluable resource and that, as such, it deserves to be valued at its best in catering as in other fields.
From this thought comes the idea of organizing, on Sunday at lunchtime, Italia Enogastronomica. A series of recurring events that want to bring the flavors and aromas of other Italian regions to the attention of our guests. We will accompany our guests on tasting itineraries characterized by dishes, ingredients and wines strictly coming from each proposed area.
You will be accompanied on these paths by trusted friends, winegrowers and / or restaurateurs, who keep important secrets of their territory which will make you partakers in the atmosphere, so dear to us Italians, of a Sunday lunch with the family made of warmth and informality
Asti, il Monferrato e la Langa
19 November 2023
This Italia Enogastronomica event also points North but changes the quadrant, pushing us West. We present a territory that, alongside other more famous ones, does not disfigure even a little; neither at landscape nor in terms of food and wine.
Between Langhe and Monferrato, the Asti cuisine that we offer is still home-made, traditional and a little rustic but capable of giving nose and mouth an experience that will never be forgotten. Truffles, mushrooms, rice and red meats cooked by our chef Matteo Caccavo will take you to the middle of Piedmont without leaving Florence.
The wines of the Crolin company, described by the producer, will surprise you with their elegance and drinkability and will perfectly accompany another Sunday lunch to rediscover our splendid Italy.
The Tuscan-Romagna Apennines and the Ravenna area
22 Ottobre 2023
Let's start again after the summer break with our "Italia Enogastronomica" themed Sundays heading not far from where we left off. In a tribute to a land that has always made gastronomy one of its strong points and which has suffered incalculable damage from recent natural events, we will guide you to rediscover the cuisine of the Ravenna and Apennines.
As usual we offer a super traditional menu, a Sunday lunch between sea and land which, as always, will catapult you into Romagna without leaving Florence.
An unusual and curious experience that includes the wines of the Tenuta Bulzaga in Brisighella. Native varieties only that produce excellent quality wine which, described by the producer, will be appreciated for the perfect pairing with the dishes cooked by our chef Matteo Caccavo.
Italia Enogastronomica
04 Dicembre 2022
Our journey, rediscovering the regional cuisines of Italy, this time brings back to light a territory that has always been rich in history and traditions, not least those of wine and oil.
Rome, with its eternal charm and its popular dishes, and the South-West, with the part most linked to agriculture, form a combination that could only become one.
We will present you, as on any other occasion, our selection of traditional but always unusual and curious dishes that will make you spend a Capitoline Sunday without leaving Florence. On this occasion, our friends of “il Caffè del Cardinale” in Giulianello in the province of Latina collaborate with us in preparing the four hands menu.
We will accompany every dish with the great wines of Marco Carpineti, narrated by the producer, historian and visionary, who will be able to make you appreciate the gastronomic pairing to the fullest.
Liguria di Levante
16 ottobre 2022
Your trip with us this time will not take you far but, as always, it will be like being there without having to leave Florence. This Sunday the route between the Italian regions will stop in Liguria, and precisely in Sarzana, home of the historic IL MONTICELLO estate, owned by the Neri family for many years. As every time, traditional, unusual and curious dishes resulting by the ancient recipes of the Neri family await you and will catapult you into the hills of Lunigiana Ligure that surround the wonderful gulf of poets and that blend their traditions with those of the Tuscan counterpart
Sicilia Est
6 marzo 2022
Another experience not to be missed that will take you far away, with your mind and heart, but without physically moving from Florence. We will take you to the area of the largest active European volcano, Etna and the province of Catania, a difficult land that knows how to give unique emotions, flavors and aromas. As usual, we will bring to your table a menu where stereotypes leave room for a more unusual and curious tradition. A choice of typical dishes that accompany traditional family Sundays. The Torre Mora winery, which we also thank for the help in choosing the menu, will present its delicious wines that will perfectly accompany lunch
Lombardia Sud-Est
17 ottobre 2021
We will let you discover another, less known, area of our beautiful Italy by taking you there without leaving Florence. Mantova and its province will amaze you with traditional dishes and curious contemporaneity. All combined with the four excellent Lambrusco labels of the Bugno Martino Estate presented by the young owners Raffaella Merlin and Giuseppe Zavanella. An experience of a relaxed and informal Sunday lunch, along the lines of those that used to be, and still are, in the company of our families
Valle d'Aosta
26 gennaio 2020
An extreme territory of our peninsula is what we will let you discover without leaving Florence. The Aosta Valley will be able to offer you poor, traditional and authentic dishes, but rich in taste and history. The Cave Monaja winery, a small but interesting reality on the regional scene, will accompany us on this special day. A Sunday experience in a hut, shared with friends and family with all the informality that comes with it.
