Marchesi Antinori S.r.l.

WOW EXPERIENCE. LOVED IT

Alright stop. This place was amazing. Suggested by a very affluent friend. I showed up, and the staff was wonderful. The main courses (carbohydrates) were so good I had a hard time to choose from (mind you I am a restaurant pro). The kitchen allowed me to order half portions so that I could taste two options. Then a protein dish and a dessert. (Which is way more than what I usually eat). I manually harmonized the wines. Here is the breakdown: 1) Half portion Pecorino cheese Ravioli on sage pesto. When you cut these open, melted Pecorino cheese oozes out and lands on the pesto sauce which is at the base of the plate. Goodness me. Drank Antinori Chianti wine, easy and light to open up the palette. 2) half portion Ricotta and Spinach dumplings with butter, thyme on cheese fondue. Ok just the name should give you shivers. This plate hit an all time 5/5 on my personal best hits list. Still thinking of it. 3) beef carpaccio with pistachio and walnuts. Tasted more than expected because (I assume) they seasoned it with unfiltered olive oil and a special salt. Served a little too cold for my tastes, but delivered all on the taste. Drank a glass of Brunello di montalcino. 4) pear tart with mascarpone. I'm not a dessert guy but it helped close out the experience. The tart was like warm and moist inside with thin crunch crust on the outside. Shall I say more? I matched this desset with an incredible dessert wine: Muffato della Sala, which hit a home run. Will definately be back people. Enjoy the pics.

What a wonderful place at Marchese Antinori Restaurant in the Heart of Florence. The Delicious Menu and of course a fabulous wine collection in the wine list. A perfect wine & dine location in this excellent luxury and even historical first class restaurant, the professional well trained and friendly service personal is rounding up this unique expiriance. A place to be if you really like to feel like, „arrived“....?????? This stunning inner open yard is fantastic to have even large events like wedding, birthday celebrations or the likes. For me and my wife a perfect start up to Expiriance Florence as well a upfront taste of the wine we are going to see at the wineries at Bolgheri and at Chianti region of the Antinori empire. A very big thanks to Senior Marchese Antinori to open he’s residency inner yard for guests who want to know more of he’s wine and professionalisms. Surely we will be coming back from time to time...???
