The story
Since 2018, Gucci Osteria da Massimo Bottura has occupied a prime spot at Piazza della Signoria 10, embodying the same values of high creativity, inspiration and inclusiveness as the House of Gucci. This is not a typical brand restaurant; it is a series of Italian, contemporary dining rooms found in world cities, each with its own identity. The Florence location shares a culinary philosophy that rides the wave of the seasons with creativity, elegance, humour and sensuality.
The kitchen is led by chef Takahiko Kondo, born in Japan. His path from self-taught beginnings to leading this kitchen reflects a culinary journey shaped by curiosity, discipline, and creative precision. He interprets the philosophy of chef Massimo Bottura, drawing from the thread of legacy while remaining contemporary and driving forward to the future.
The cuisine is described as intelligent, heartfelt and generous, standing at the pinnacle of creativity. Expect a seasonal Italian menu that captures youthful energy, with dishes that are both playful and precise. The restaurant also offers exclusive experiences, from cookery classes to private Tuscan vineyard tours.
Beyond the dining room, you can bring a touch of the experience home through their e-shop, which features delicacies and exclusive items. The restaurant holds a Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence, a testament to the thoughtful wine program that complements the seasonal Italian fare.
