The Last Big Night at Grossi Florentino
After 26 years at the helm of the city's most-loved Italian restaurants, the Grossi family is leaving Florentino with a bang.
Overview
For more than eight decades, Florentino has stood as a Melbourne dining institution — weathering trends, generations and the changing city around it. When the Grossi Group took the reins in 1999, it became Grossi Florentino we know today. But this November, the venue will shed its first name as the Grossi family closes out a chapter of shaping a restaurant that defined Italian hospitality.
Raise your glasses at Grossi Florentino's final dinner service — a five-course showcase of the venue's most beloved dishes, including duck and porcini tortellini with caramelised pear and a family recipe of lamb with polenta. The meal will end, fittingly, with a Florentino chocolate soufflé.
