Ristorante la Giostra

Located in the heart of Florence and in walking distance to the main cathedral of Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore is La Giostra fine dining restaurant serving regional cuisine.

The restaurant was opened by the Hapsburg princes. The family friends who were accustomed to gathering around the table of the prince at the castle of Barberino Val d'Elsa in Chiantishire, had often suggested the idea...
