Gucci Osteria da Massimo Bottura

Florence, Italy

Two Italian Titans join forces, as Massimo Bottura meets the house of Gucci to create a kitschy take on the classic osteria with some serious culinary clout. The only Italian branch of the Gucci Osteria (sister restaurants can be found in Beverly Hills, Tokyo and Seoul) is part of the Gucci Garden complex which also includes a museum and retail outlets. While Bottura's name is above the door, the kitchen here is under the command of Mexican-born Karine Lopez, who has of course spent time in the kitchens of flagship Osteria Francescana in addition to Mexico City's Pujol, which ranked at No.9 in The World's 50 Best Restaurants 2022. She has curated both an á la carte offering and an eight-course tasting menu, which marries Italian produce and techniques with punchy Mexican flavours in dishes like 'Charley Marley Goes to Mexico' which combines eggplant, mole and Chianina beef.
