There’s a recent trend of inviting guest Michelin-starred chefs<\/strong> for special menus in brilliant locations. Last year I enjoyed one such occasion with a memorable meal in the cloister of San Marco<\/a>. This year, there are a few occasions in Florence and Tuscany to sample delicacies and get to know the cuisine of different Michelin-starred chefs from around Italy.<\/p>\n

Dining with the Stars: Castello di Spaltenna<\/h2>\n

In the Chianti countryside, the\u00a0Ristorante il Pievano at the 5-star resort Castello di Spaltenna<\/strong> has organized 6 star-studded evenings where their Michelin-starred executive chef Vincenzo Guarino<\/strong> has invited an impressive line-up of colleagues to join him in the kitchen. The dinners will be held in the courtyard, while into the fall season they’ll be located in the restaurant’s rooms decorated with attractive antiques. This could also be an opportunity to explore (or stay at) the 1000-year-old castle, small medieval borgo and monastery. For info see www.spaltenna.it<\/a><\/p>\n
