Vegetarians, as well as those who love a vibrant atmosphere, will find satisfaction in l’Ov. Two culinary experiences are worth a trip to Florence per se: Enoteca Pinchiorri - for the cuisine, for the wines, for being one of the top restaurants in the world - and the Teatro del Sale, by world famous chef Fabio Picchi, and his wife, the magnificent performer Maria Cassi, to get a glimpse of what ‘synergy of Art and Cuisine’ means.
