Italian cuisine respectful of traditions , down to the smallest detail . La Cantinetta Antinori has brought an ancestral know-how to Monaco with its predilection for ingredients , land and authenticity . It first opened in Florence ’ s Old Town back in 1957 . The Antinori family , large landowners in Tuscany and Umbria , producing a number of prestigious wines , has restored the ground floor of an elegant Renaissance palace for their restaurant .

Warm and flavourful Tuscan gastronomy enjoyed a great success wherever it was exported , whether Zurich , Vienna , Moscow and now Monte-Carlo . Cantinetta Antinori , open from breakfast till dinner , is introducing us to a large selection of refined dishes made from the very best ingredients this land may offer . The Antinori philosophy is all about listening to nature and cultural rhythms . No question of going against the order of things and offering non-seasonal products . No messing with traditions either . ’ Our cuisine is very classic , very tasty and time-consuming . Traditional dishes , like veal stew , are simmering for hours … Same goes for our tomato pulp sauce embellished with bread and leeks . It takes a very long time to cook before being mixed with the pasta ’.

Much importance is given to wine , paired in perfect harmony with the dishes on the menu . They are also often integrated into the cooking process . This happy marriage is delightful to our taste buds , taking us on an unforgettable journey to Florence , Siena and all their treasures .
