How Was the Bargellata Born?

An idea conceived by a Florentine family

The Bargellata was born from the union of two minds—a restaurateur and a chef, both Florentines—who, much like Antonio di Gherardi and Piero di Frosino, the two innkeepers of the Locanda del Buco, the tavern that stood in the heart of the city between the 13th and 14th centuries, bring traditional dishes to life every day, keeping the bond between past and present alive.

Every detail is designed to make you relive distant atmospheres and offer you a unique experience—one you will never want to return from.

What is the Bargellata?

Bargellata is an evening of encounters, glances, laughter, and the rediscovery of ancient flavors, where, seated side by side in a convivial setting reminiscent of a medieval table, guests embark on a journey through Tuscan tradition, with a particular focus on Florentine cuisine.

This experience is ideal for couples, friends and small groups who want to immerse themselves in Tuscan food culture in a genuine and relaxed way.

La Bargellata is not a tasting menu, but a true shared meal that reflects the way Florentines gather around the table—to eat, talk, and spend time together.
