Palazzo Portinari, itself is architectural splendor and houses Atto di Vito. This single starred Michelin masterpiece dazzles the senses in a beautiful opera of synchronous staff, original frescos dedicated to the Odyssey and delightful dishes to cherish. We loved Vito at Il Pallagio and this followed him to his own act. He is charming and beyond talented.

Tucked away and just blocks from the apartment, Locale is housed in a Palazzo that dates back to the 1200s and an unsuspectingly opulent space is great for cocktails and/or dinner. Ask to tour the Medici 'basement' when you're there.
