Executive Chef Francesco Casetta
One
of the pleasures of visiting Florence on a business trip or on holiday is the
opportunity to see some of the world’s greatest works of art and culture.
However, this cannot be done without taking the time to enjoy as well some of
the best dishes of the Italian cuisine, prepared in simple trattorie or elegant
gourmet restaurants throughout the city.
Among
the most popular Restaurants in town, L’Incontro continues today the
tradition of offering excellent food and courteous first class service in a
modern and sophisticated atmosphere.
L’Incontro
is today the domain of Francesco Casetta, Executive Chef of authentic Florentine
origins who has now returned to Florence after gaining important experience in
Italy (“Dal Pescatore” di Canneto sull’Oglio, 3 Michelin stars ) and
abroad (in particular in the States, with Four Season Hotels and Resorts Palm
Beach and Ritz Carlton Naples - Florida).
In
this new challenge, this young and dynamic chef is now at his best, leading a
young team of chefs with enthusiasm and great professional competence. Keeping a
strong focus on Tuscan cuisine, he combines his research on traditional recipes
with a creative experimental approach
and
modern techniques of preparation which allow a lighter final result.
His
cuisine offers a right balance among sophisticated dishes – where the basic
ingredients maintain their original flavours – and simple, genuine options,
taken from the popular tradition and accompanied with some wonderful Tuscan
wines.
Special
attention is given to the choice of seasonal ingredients, always fresh and
produced locally. As any other great Chef would do, Francesco is personally in
charge of the daily shopping for the kitchen. He is often seen in Florence local
markets among aromatic herbs, colourful fruit and vegetables and stalls of fresh
fish.
The
secret of his cooking lies here.
