Gucci Osteria da Massimo Bottura

Gucci Osteria da Massimo Bottura is a one-Michelin-starred restaurant located within Gucci’s historic flagship space in Palazzo della Mercanzia, directly overlooking Piazza della Signoria and the Palazzo Vecchio — one of the world’s great urban viewpoints. The restaurant was conceived by legendary Italian chef Massimo Bottura and operates under the day-to-day creative direction of chef Karime López, whose inspired and playful cooking draws on Mexican, Japanese, and Italian influences to create a genuinely original gastronomic identity. Dishes are inventive and surprising — culturally curious, technically accomplished, and designed with the visual wit and storytelling sensibility that characterizes Osteria Francescana’s extended family of restaurants. The tasting menu offers an immersive journey through flavors and references that feel both globally aware and deeply engaged with Italian culinary tradition. The stylish interior reflects the Gucci aesthetic: a carefully designed environment where fashion and gastronomy meet. Service is attentive and knowledgeable. The wine list is thoughtfully assembled. The location — above the Gucci Garden museum — is an experience in itself.
