AnneMarie says that she loves when a person is curious when they come into the store. That they want to learn & choose a wine after they have taken time to find the right one. "You used to just buy a nice wine for dinner, yet now a 46.00 bottle of wine is to share with friends at dinner, & although it costs a little more, you can appreciate it & truly start the learning process. The young people are very educated in all matters & why should wine not be one of these?

"Some of the older classic vineyards in Italy are from the 1200s & in France you will only find these from the 1800s because of the revolution that caused all lands to change hands mostly. It is interesting to see."

















Try a little bit of each of the menu or try the degustation to have a very typical Florentine menu, yet the tweak is from Donato & the creativity of Leonardo.

You never feel so much love as when you see


Piazza del Carmine 24 Florence
Outside is a beautiful terrace perfect for nice weather with huge umbrellas and a fun team.
As you enter the Palazzo of the Vecchio family, now owned by Francisco, who is a gracious and fun host, you notice the beauty of the works of art, the antique furniture, the sculptures and gilded mirrors that adorn every inch of the solid stone building. The Palazzo Ristorante has rooms, and each one is unique and different. Gorgeous. Stunningly beautiful and I seriously didn't even care about the food for the first 2 interviews! I kept asking where does that come from? O my gosh where does that sculpture come from? O my gosh is that real? O my gosh is that a beautiful fireplace! https://www.instagram.com/trattorianapoleone/
"I saw it and said yes, yes and yes," Francisco says, "I loved the restaurant and I bought it all!"
I have the great pleasure to meet Francisco's wife, Rosey, who has bouncing curls and perfect skin, and is totally loved with her entire team. She promises to give me pictures of her to add to the site, and I am waiting!
Piazza del Carmine 24 Florence
The lady of 26 years, Melina, in Florence, that is a record, with a Italian award winning chef, who is Raffeale, funny, too, and the team is too kind. You can sit outside or inside and have warm only italian speaking real old-school capos telling you their funny stories and truly caring about you as a person. LOVE THAT PLACE. The pizza? The best in Florence.


"And here in 'Tuscani 3 we started the see in the window chef as he prepares the two pastas for street food takeaway and sit down service. Everybody loves to see him make the pasta and you eat it as he makes it!" 055 2853 36 Located at Via Dante Alighieri 18red
reservations: 055 906 5557
You can find the smaller intimate Tuscani at
Via de Federighi 37 red.
Here the lampredotto of Tuscanino
One of the 3 Capos is Joan Bonilla, who is 1/2 Florentine & 1/2 Dominican.
His story is one of a miracle from the "dishwasher to the Capo" that you always hear of, dream of & is very difficult to achieve. Pictured here facing the camera, with the big smile, next to him behind him is the very funny lovely cook, Lucia, & Mickal the chef along with the funny shy bartender/waiter.
