Dining

A true taste of Tuscany

With the freshest produce in the finest location, dining with us is the perfect way to appreciate the true magic behind Italian cuisine.

Whether you’re sampling local wild boar, savouring our smoked rabbit lasagnetta or sipping Tuscan wine, gastronomes are spoilt for choice with our varied and unique culinary options. From the 15th-century arches of Ristorante La Loggia to our avant-garde take on beloved dishes, both tradition and modernity inform our gastronomy. It doesn’t hurt that our hotel overlooks Florence’s most coveted view—the panoramic vista is as stunning as any painting hanging in the Uffizi gallery.

The Art of Aperitivo

Come Together

There’s nothing quite like an aperitivo to bring people together. In Italy, this enchanting hour is a time-honoured tradition. At Belmond, our bartenders and chefs use their creative spark to craft perfectly paired specialities.

From signature cocktails to a curated bar menu, our combinations celebrate authentic flavours and regional ingredients. Paired with stunning views and live music, aperitivo is our favourite time of day.

Cocktail

Negroni
We promise that this is the perfect Negroni. That’s because our barman will tailor it to your own personal preferences.

Il Sommo
San Gimignano Vernaccia, the only wine mentioned by Dante in his masterpiece ‘Purgatory’, is blended with alchermes, a 15th-century liqueur. The vivid red colour recalls Dante’s long red coat, while soft Campari foam hints at his headdress. Soda adds a refreshing touch.

Finger Food

Delight in a Tuscan ‘tagliere’: a platter of local cold cuts such as mouthwatering salami, prosciutto and pancetta. Sample delicious local cheeses, including sumptuous sheep’s-milk pecorino.
