Who we are
A family story steeped in flavours and tradition, nestled in the heart of Florence.
Antica Cantina del Chianti is not just a restaurant—it’s a true corner of authentic Tuscany, nestled in one of the most extraordinary settings in the world: right beneath Brunelleschi’s Dome, in the historic heart of Florence.
Here, tradition is in the air with every step. Our place was born as a shop for typical regional products and, over time, has grown into a restaurant that still preserves its original soul: that of honest cooking, made with real ingredients and recipes that tell the story of a land rich in culture, flavor, and passion.
At the helm is our family, which for generations has worked in the world of pasta and artisanal food. Our bond with the territory is not just a stylistic choice—it’s a deeply rooted value, reflected in every dish, every product on our shelves, and every smile that greets those who walk through our door.
We believe in uncompromising quality, genuine hospitality, and the value of time shared around a well-set table. Every day, our mission is to offer an experience of true taste: a lunch, a dinner, or even just a sample that becomes a lasting memory.
Welcome to Antica Cantina del Chianti – a place where past and present meet in the kitchen, through timeless flavors and the warm embrace of authentic hospitality.
