Follow your nose to the heart of Sant’Ambrogio in the Historical Center of Florence—where you’ll find the new restaurant Sfoglia Re. Its modern yet classic Italian sleek style is the perfect setting to meet with friends and family for unforgettable brunches, hearty lunches, a classic aperitivo, and, of course, an authentic Florentine dinner.
Brunch
If you’re starting your day in Sant’Ambrogio, don’t hesitate to stop by Sfoglia Re for a gigantic, Florentine-inspired brunch. With an abundance of choices, all you need to bring is an empty stomach and a curious palate.
Your options range from a classic avocado toast topped with a fresh sunny-side-up egg to Sfoglia Re’s signature creation—the Florentine Pancake. What’s a Florentine Pancake, you ask? Picture fresh berries drizzled with local honey and decadent gianduia chocolate imported from Piemonte. Yum!
Of course, it’s only right to pair your incredible brunch with an espresso, a delicious Bellini, a classic Spritz, or even an espresso martini if you’re feeling bold. You’ll leave full, happy, and ready to explore Florence after Sfoglia’s amazing brunch!
Lunch
When lunchtime rolls around and your stomach starts to rumble again, it’s the perfect time to return to Sfoglia Re for a midday feast that combines Florentine tradition with the warm hospitality of Tuscany.
Let your cravings guide you to our handcrafted pasta dishes like Pappardelle al ragù di guanciale, a rich and savory pork cheek ragù that pairs beautifully with a bold glass of Chianti Classico DOCG Cantina Ripoli 2020—a wine that brings balance and earthy depth to every bite.
Feeling more adventurous? Try the Pici cacio e pepe, coated in a creamy, peppery Pecorino sauce. Elevate the experience with a glass of Toscana IGT Tenuta Moraia “Perpiero” 2019, whose elegant tannins and dark fruit notes cut through the richness like a dream.
Not in the mood for pasta? No problem. Dive into crispy delights like fried calamari, baccalà e chips, or the Neapolitan classic—pastina fritta.
Sfoglia Re even offers a variety of sandwiches if nothing else strikes your fancy. Come hungry and leave full and satisfied—no matter what you choose.
Aperitivo
An iconic Italian tradition, aperitivo is best enjoyed right here in Sant’Ambrogio. Sit outside and take in the buzz of local conversations echoing through historic streets while sipping a bitter, bubbly Aperol Spritz or a bold, mysterious Negroni.
Pair your Italian cocktails with a side of salty fried calamari or light bites for the perfect early evening pause.
Dinner
After a full day of museums, wandering, and marveling at Florence’s beauty, your appetite will be ready for the grand finale—la cena (dinner).
Start with an antipasto to ease into the evening: think beef tartare, oysters, or tuna carpaccio. Then comes the primo (pasta). Go with your gut—maybe ravioli maremmani al ragù della nonna (ricotta and spinach ravioli with grandma’s classic ragù), or indulge in a rich artichoke risotto with pecorino cheese.
La pasta non ti va per adesso? No worries—there’s an array of secondi (main courses) including steak, rooster, octopus, and more. With so many mouthwatering options, your eyes might be bigger than your stomach!
The incredible energy at Sfoglia Re is undeniable, with the aromas from the kitchen spilling out into the street. From the warm hospitality of the waitstaff to the flair of the bartenders, you’re guaranteed to have an amazing time, meet great people, and enjoy delectable food.
Buon appetito!
