The Relisher is where the world's top chefs reveal their favorite spots in their home cities. This week, we spoke with Chef Alessandro Cozzolino, the Executive Chef of La Loggia di Villa San Michele, widely regarded as one of Florence's leading fine dining restaurants.

The restaurant is located inside Villa San Michele, A Belmond Hotel, Florence, one of the most breathtaking hotels in Florence.

“I come from the south of Italy, but I'm truly in love with the products you can find in Tuscany. It's a region rich in resources, full of beautiful, unique products and vegetables that you can only find here. My daily routine revolves around creating dishes that showcase the best of what nature offers each season. This is the true beauty of this land and its food culture.”
