Chef & Philosophy
The essence of Tuscany, the precision of the gesture, the tranquillity of the monastery. At Gli Affreschi restaurant, cuisine is an art form built on subtlety and authenticity.
Drawing on Chef Ricci’s Michelin-starred training, the menu celebrates seasonality and precision, elevating simple ingredients to symbols of a noble and authentic identity. A profound culinary experience, dedicated to those who seek beauty in perfect balance.
A contemporary gastronomic vision rooted in Tuscan tradition. At the heart of the culinary project is the raw ingredient: rigorously selected, respected in its natural balance, and interpreted with technical precision.
Chef Michele Ricci's vocation was born within the walls of his home, inspired by the skilled gestures of his mother and grandmother, and then forged in the rigor of international haute cuisine. His career has been one of continuous evolution, seeing him grow in the shadow of the great names of world gastronomy: a legacy of excellence matured under the guidance of absolute masters such as Gualtiero Marchesi, Luigi Sartini, and Paolo Lopriore.
