La Buona Novella

About

Facing the gorgeous square of Santa Maria Novella, in an elegant and relaxed atmosphere, we offer typical dishes and innovative creations based on the Tuscan and Italian tradition. An accurate selection of local and international wines will match your choices. Young Chef Tommaso Calonaci (born 1992) says: "I try to respect the rule of contrasts in every dish. When you bring together cold and hot, soft and crunchy, or sweet and savory, the palate is stimulated and its reaction is stronger. My version of Caprese for example: the hot tomato cream and the cold buffalo milk ice cream, the soft cream and the crunchy basil crumble, the savory cream and the slightly sweet ice cream.
