Florence: L'Antico Vinaio Will Manage the Bistro at Palazzo Strozzi


The Palazzo Strozzi Foundation has entrusted Tommaso Mazzanti, CEO of All’Antico Vinaio, with a new concept for the Cortile’s dining area, designed to allow visitors to experience the palace beyond the exhibitions. The new bistro will open in late September.

L’Antico Vinaio will manage the bistro at Palazzo Strozzi: the Palazzo Strozzi Foundation announced this late this afternoon. Starting in late September, therefore, the bistro in the courtyard of Palazzo Strozzi in Florence will enter a new phase: The Palazzo Strozzi Foundation has concluded a lengthy selection process, choosing the proposal submitted by Tommaso Mazzanti—entrepreneur and CEO of L’Antico Vinaio—to renovate the dining space inside the palace. Mazzanti has devised a completely new concept for the courtyard, according to Palazzo Strozzi, developed specifically for the setting of the Renaissance palace and the diverse types of visitors who frequent it.

The new bistro will be designed as a space to enjoy at various times of the day, from breakfast to lunch to aperitifs. The culinary offering will be extensive and draw inspiration from Tuscan and Italian traditions, reinterpreted with a contemporary twist. Particular attention will be paid to the quality and selection of ingredients, with an approach focused primarily on dining in and socializing, rather than takeout.

“The new bistro,” Palazzo Strozzi states, “will become a place where exhibition visitors, people who experience the center of Florence on a daily basis, and an international audience can stop by and enjoy the spaces of Palazzo Strozzi. The new bistro thus fits into Palazzo Strozzi’s broader mission as an open, welcoming, and vibrant place in the heart of Florence, reinforcing the Courtyard as a space for gathering and socializing and helping to expand the Palazzo experience beyond simply visiting the exhibitions.”
