Sophia Loren Original Italian Food opened its doors this week in Florence, and its the first of many in a group of international restaurants that will showcase Campania’s rich culinary story.
La Cucina Italiana reports:
Gennaro Esposito, chef of the two-star Michelin-rated Torre del Saracino near Naples created the restaurant menu while Francesco Martucci, the pizzaiolo behind I Masanielli in Caserta, handles the pizza. Pastry chef Carmine Di Donna, a long-time colleague of Esposito, oversees the dolci.
The iconic Hollywood actress, along with countless restauranteurs across Italy, are just getting back on their feet as the country has eased its covid restrictions as cases continue to fall.
Loren’s new culinary endeavor is several stories tall, features outdoor terraces and can seat up to 60 people, per government guidelines.
