La Bottega del Buon Caffè - another Michelin star experience

As i told you, there is one place in Florence that impressed me a lot. The company that I am currently working for - Borgo Santo Pietro owns two restaurants with one Michelin star - Meo Modo and La Bottega del Buon caffè, located in the magnificent Florence. So, our executive chef - Andrea Mattei arranged a visit in this restaurant for us. We had an appointment with its chef - Antonello Sardi. He showed us around the kitchen and we saw how the preparation for the dinner service was going. They also share the Farm to the plate philosophy, so for me was interesting to understand more about the products that they use. What impressed me is that the kitchen is absolutely visible for the clients of the restaurant and they can watch the process of cooking during the whole service. I liked the interior design a lot - very elegant, but in the same time quite cozy. There is also a wine cellar, in which there is an opportunity for private dining. Everybody there were so open and kind. They accepted us very well, like we were part of one big family - the family of Borgo Santo Pietro.
