A welcoming place for friends and family to gather, while experiencing the joy of fine dining – together.

A Blend of Culinary Traditions

The essence of Gunè lies in its masterful blend of Lucanian cuisine, which is rich in intriguing and lesser-known flavours, combined with traditional Tuscan elements.
This exciting fusion is reflected in beautifully curated menus that highlight a unique combination of regional and seasonal ingredients.

At Gunè, embark on a gastronomic journey that celebrates the art of fine dining in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.
Here, the vibrant flavours of Lucanian dishes are elevated with contemporary flair and seamlessly integrated with Florentine classics.

Regional and Seasonal

Artisan and seasonal ingredients are the stars at Gunè, where every element of a dish is treated with respect and artful innovation.
Each carefully crafted gourmet journey awakens the senses and inspires the imagination.

Signature dishes at Gunè pay homage to the seasons with ingredients sourced from local farmers and artisan producers.
Menus feature game from Valdarno and Montespertoli, Wild Boar from Casentino, and fresh seafood from Livorno on the Tyrrhenian coast.

Menus are intriguing and inspiring, yet the food philosophy remains pure to the origins of home cooking, created with love and respect.
At Gunè, the bread and many of the pasta dishes are entirely handmade, honoring a tradition passed down through generations.
“The act of kneading is a simple gesture that conveys the pure essence of home, our roots, and our history,” Nicola explains.

Heritage and Hospitality

Having grown up surrounded by remarkable female cooks on a small family farm in the countryside of Basilicata, Nicola Langone always had the dream of opening a restaurant that honoured his heritage and flavours of Lucanian cuisine.

Shortly after coming of age, he moved from his rural home to Florence, a city that he immediately fell in love with and made his home.
Over time, he opened a bar-restaurant and a gelato shop near Piazza Duomo, but his greatest desire was to create a contemporary restaurant connected to his homeland and family roots.

In 2019, Gunè was born – a beautiful and inspiring tribute to women, especially the strong women in his family.
Nicola explains: “Gunè – from the Greek γυνή, meaning woman – is a tribute to the generative energy of the feminine: creativity, hospitality, intuition, the delicate strength that shapes and nourishes.”

Today, Gunè is considered one of Florence’s best-kept gourmet secrets.
A genuine haven for food-lovers in the heart of historic Florence.
A destination restaurant to keep firmly at the top of your list when visiting Tuscany.
