Locale Firenze

Thrilling tasting menu in one of the world's best bars Locale is perhaps best known for being one of The World's 50 Best Bars. But the food offering here has to be one of the most exciting in Florence with Simone Capponetto at the helm, a chef who spent a decade travelling the world, including a stint at Mugaritz, before returning home to Tuscany. There are nods to his former employer in his creativity, but Simone is creating a cuisine all of his own here that speaks of the locality. The vibe is young and fun and be warned the music gets louder as the night goes on when Locale essentially turns into a club, but really you shouldn't miss it. Superb.
