Cecchini in Città
Florence
A master of meat with daredevil charm, renowned 8th generation butcher Dario Cecchini brings his signature philosophy to play at his first restaurant in Florence.
Make a choice between the two menus on offer. The ‘Famiglia’ stars traditional Tuscan dishes with recipes passed down through Dario’s family – think home-made pastas and hearty stews. For dinner, the ‘Griglia’ is served as a set menu option showcasing Dario’s skill with different cuts of meat. Don’t forget to save room for dessert – do as the Italians do, and finish the meal with lashings of tiramisù.
Why we love it
The Vibe: Eclectic prints and lush greenery, housed in an airy atrium
The Food: Mouth-watering meats and traditional Tuscan favourites
The Drink: An Italian-heavy wine list, led by the region’s famous Chianti
Menu highlights

Where you'll be
Santa Maria Novella
Nestled in central Florence's Santa Maria Novella district, 25hours Hotel Piazza San Paolino is just a stone’s throw from the Basilica of Santa Maria Novella and some of the city’s most important museums — from the Museo Novecento to the Palazzo Strozzi — not to mention streets filled with irresistible shops.
The hotel, which was conceived by interior designer Paola Navone as an ode to Dante’s Divine Comedy, is full of eclectic allusions to the work, such as scenes from heaven and hell. A lush courtyard garden beckons, while the in-house Cinema Paradiso film lounge shows a curated selection of the best Italian masterpieces.
