A talented owner-chef with a passion for inventive gastronomy
The attributes that distinguish chef Filippo Saporito in the kitchen are his sympathy and joie de vivre. Through his long experience, he has been able to experiment, discover techniques, and develop unique ideas. With a keen eye toward garden products and herbs, he touches tradition and goes beyond borders. His meeting with chef Gaetano Trovat was incredibly significant for his culinary path. As a result of this, he now realizes how important it is to consider the human element at work. It is due to the harmony that Gaetano knows how to create between his colleagues that the kitchen team at La Leggenda dei Frati works their magic.

La Leggenda dei Frati
Firenze (FI), ItalyRestaurant La Leggenda dei Frati welcomes guests into the green calm of the Villa Bardini Gardens, with wide views over Florence in a setting where history, art and landscape come together naturally.

In the kitchen, Filippo Saporito and Ombretta Giovannini give voice to a contemporary Tuscany, grounded in tradition, carefully studied, and reworked with a modern touch. At the centre are the ingredients and the relationships behind them, with producers and suppliers who share the same values: respect, seasonality and a thoughtful approach to bringing out the best in every element.
