(FLORENCE – VIALE EUROPA) An oasis of tranquility and refined cuisine in the heart of Florence
In the heart of Florence, just a few minutes from the center, the restaurant La Tegolaia offers a unique experience: a true green oasis overlooking the pool of the Italiana Hotel, an elegant four-star hotel on Viale Europa. Here, far from the city chaos and traffic, you can enjoy a relaxing environment that combines the pleasure of good cuisine with that of an airy and regenerating space, ideal even during the summer months.
La Tegolaia welcomes a varied clientele, from couples looking for a romantic dinner to groups of friends or business lunches, with attentive and discreet service.
At the helm of the kitchen is Chef Gaetano Labate, a highly experienced professional, who offers a menu that moves with balance between Tuscan tradition and Mediterranean cuisine, enhancing both land and sea products.
Among the appetizers stand out the prawn ceviche with octopus, lime, cucumber and mint, the bluefin tuna tartare with green apple, caramelized onion, Puglian burrata and radish sauce, and the marinated black pig loin, served with carasau bread, tuna sauce and caper flower.
The first courses menu includes specialties such as Gragnano calamarata sautéed with turbot fillet, leek and gurnard broth, square spaghetti with veraci clams, tomato and crispy bread, and pici with white ragù of scottona beef, juniper berries and Maremma pecorino fondue.
The main courses also range between land and sea: from grilled bluefin tuna with roasted eggplant quenelle and cacio e pepe cream, to porchetta-style rabbit loin with pancetta, fresh sausage and sautéed spinach with Taggiasca olives, up to the unmissable Florentine steaks and pork tomahawk, cooked on the outdoor barbecue.
The offering concludes with high-quality homemade desserts, perfect for ending the meal with taste.
La Tegolaia is also an ideal location for private events, weddings and ceremonies, thanks to the charm and versatility of its spaces.
