Villa San Michele, A Belmond Hotel Restaurants & Menus
Post-renovation dining splits into three clear concepts under executive chef Alessandro Cozzolino, plus cocktails at Bar Doccia. Antesi is the fine-dining flagship on the historic loggia: a small-table tasting-menu room with panoramic Florence views and contemporary Italian and Tuscan cooking (closed Mondays in recent schedules). Ristorante San Michele handles more traditional slow-food Tuscan cooking for guests who want a fuller a la carte evening without tasting-menu formality. San Michele Grill covers casual poolside pizza, charcoal grill, and long lunches with the skyline as backdrop. Bar Doccia, in the heart of the ancient monastery, runs negroni variations and martinis that have become part of the hotel's social identity. No Michelin stars are claimed on current Belmond materials for these restaurants: do not invent any. Book Antesi and a poolside lunch as two different meals rather than treating one as backup.
