Insolita

Michelin Guide
Italian Contemporary
The Michelin Guide's review
Chef-patron Lorenzo Romano, self-taught with a solid family culinary heritage behind him, delivers a contemporary Italian cuisine with a personal and direct, almost pop, character, just steps from Ponte Vecchio. His signature style emerges with clarity in the dish “Ceci n’est pas une tomate”: a conceptual and technical play that multiplies the tomato across three interpretations. There is the gelled version, which aesthetically reproduces the perfect fruit; the grilled one, transformed into a sauce and enclosed at the heart of the dish, enveloped in a velvety burrata cream; and finally the invisible one, which perfumes the olive crumble at the base. Completing the experience is a thoughtful and convincing mixology offering, an ideal alternative to the more classic wine pairing.
