At our two Four Seasons hotels in Italy, your clients can savour the finest regional specialties created by our Michelin-starred executive chef, Vito Mollica.
Rich in historic beauty, Four Seasons Hotel Firenze is composed of two Renaissance buildings, framing the city’s largest private park. The gastronomic focal point is the Michelin-starred Il Palagio restaurant. Inspired by the slow food movement, Chef Vito creates traditional Italian cuisine, featuring the freshest ingredients from local farms and producers.
If your clients would prefer a residential-style experience of Florence, Four Seasons includes La Villa – a hotel within the hotel, featuring just 37 guest rooms and suites. Intimate and exclusive, it feels like an historic mansion or a small apartment house. In the spirit of a private home, Chef Vito will privately cater meals in La Villa’s Magnolia Lounge, creating a unique family-style dining experience. He can also prepare a special picnic to enjoy outdoors in the private park.
Cuisine is also an important focus at Four Seasons Hotel Milano, our transformed 15th-century convent in the heart of the fashion district. Chef Vito from Florence took over the kitchen of La Veranda restaurant a year ago. The menu features seasonal Mediterranean cuisine, both traditional and innovative. A favourite summer tradition at La Veranda is sipping an aperitivo outdoors in the cloistered garden. Other culinary options include Italian cooking classes and a gorgeous Chef’s Table in the kitchen, seating up to 10 people.
Close to the Duomo cathedral and La Scala opera house, Four Seasons is also steps away from the Brera district – famous for its local boutiques and authentic Milanese food. For the ultimate meal in Milan, Four Seasons has created a cultural package allowing guests to enjoy an exclusive viewing of “The Last Supper”, the masterpiece painting by Leonardo da Vinci.
