Starred Executive Chef Peter Brunel designs the bistro-style menus served up at Caffè dell’Oro. Discover his creative menus and delight in light and vibrant reinterpretations of traditional dishes from Italy’s regions.

With a splendid view over the Ponte Vecchio, the Caffè dell’Oro offers the very best of Tuscan and Italian cuisine.

Whether it’s a genuine ‘espresso’ coffee or a light lunch, or perhaps a delicate snack or a romantic dinner inspired by seasonal flavours.

The menu that our chefs concoct each season is fresh and with light but flavoursome ingredients, grown by the best organic producers from every region of Italy.

The ingredients we use in our dishes reflect our immense love for Italy and its unique flavours.

This is why – exclusively for Florence – one of our most important suppliers is Valis, a first-class world leader in organic produce, like Grigio del Casentino ham, Chianina beef from Fracassi, eggs from Paolo Parisi and Verrigni pasta, made to a traditional recipe that dates back to 1898.

And what do these ingredients give rise to when used together?
Well, by way of example, a Caprese salad with fior di latte and buffalo mozzarella and burrata, rounded off perhaps with a tiramisù and cantucci biscuits and a glass of vin santo, just to whet the appetite and spark the curiosity of our guests.
