Tasting menu

Blind Tasting

75 per person

Five courses that exist only on that day, built on what the Sant'Ambrogio market offered that same morning.

How it works

Every morning the chef goes to the Sant'Ambrogio market, a hundred meters from the restaurant, and picks the best of what's there that day. The tasting menu takes shape right there, in front of the stalls, based on what has come in and what's freshest.

Nothing is written in advance. You just tell us about any allergies or preferences, and we take care of the rest.

What to expect

  • Five courses, decided by the chef that same morning at the market
  • An explanation of every dish, course by course
  • Adaptable to intolerances, allergies and vegetarian diets
  • No menu to read: all we ask is that you trust us

Why do it?

That day's menu doesn't exist at any other moment of the year. It's built on what the market offered that morning, and by the next morning it will already be different.

  • It's the most direct way to understand how La Chicca's kitchen thinks
  • Guests who try it often write to tell us it was the best dinner of their trip to Italy
  • It works from one person up: you don't need to be in a group

Book

The Blind Tasting is available at lunch and dinner, every day. You book it like a regular table: just mention any allergies when you book.

Available as a gift

Whoever receives this experience isn't getting a dinner. They're getting an evening where they don't have to decide anything, choose anything, or even read a menu: they sit down and someone takes care of them.

The chef comes out of the kitchen to explain a dish. Five courses that no one else will ever eat in that combination. And the feeling, one our guests often mention in their reviews, of being guests in someone's home, not customers in a restaurant.

  • The gift card arrives by email, ready to print or forward
  • It's valid for six months from the date of purchase
  • It covers the five courses; drinks and wine are extra
  • It can be booked anytime, at lunch or dinner, every day
  • Transferable: if the recipient can't use it, they can pass it on to someone else

It works for birthdays, anniversaries and occasions that deserve more than an object. And above all, it works when you really want to surprise someone: not with a dinner, but with an evening they didn't see coming.

I chose the Blind Tasting, and it was without a doubt one of the best parts of my trip to Florence. The chef created five courses to guide my palate.

This restaurant was the perfect place for my birthday dinner. We all chose the blind tasting and were really very happy, both with the variety of dishes and with the extra courses served to our group. As soon as I'm back in Florence, this will be the first restaurant I go back to!

Incredible food, incredible service! We did the blind tasting and they were able to accommodate our group of 11 people, including a vegetarian. It was truly one of the most special meals I've ever had.

I was nervous about it, since I can be a picky eater. I tried spectacular dishes I would never have ordered on my own, and every single thing was delicious.
