Il Desco Bistrot: a real farm-to-table organic restaurant in Florence

Adjoining the hotel, Il Desco Bistrot, our organic restaurant in central Florence, is a small and cozy restaurant, open both to the public and, of course, to the guests of the hotel. The Bistro is a farm-to-table experience, as we own a Certified Organic Farm in Reggello, on the Florentine hills, where we produce extra virgin olive oil, vegetables and fruits. The Bistrot staff is both knowledgeable and friendly, ready to welcome you with a smile. After a stroll in Florence, you can relax and sample some of our genuine, seasonal Italian cuisine, prepared passionately using fresh ingredients that are locally produced!
