I couldn’t help stopping in front of this stand. Oysters of enormous size so big they require two bites to eat. (more…)

It’s an October Thursday — a rainy, heavily congested day, on a street that is anything but convenient, outside Florence. And yet Paolo and Andrea Gori’s restaurant is full. Full of Florentines leaning against a table by the cheese counter, full in the main dining room and in the smaller rooms branching off the space, full even of Americans asking to “store” a couple of cubic meters of luggage just to secure a table at Da Burde.

I always take part in, publish, and share initiatives like “Sbraciami 2024” with great pleasure. I like to think that this represents one of the beautiful sides of us Italians…

Am I walking into an MV Agusta dealership or into a restaurant? Well, both. And one cannot exclude the other. For me—and with this statement I'm declaring myself “more than…

I’d almost say that the impression Pitti Taste left on me last year was thanks to Carlo Giusti—but that might sound like an exaggeration… and yet there’s some truth to it.
