Located just a few steps from the historic market of San Lorenzo, the venue has always focused its proposals on authentic dishes and flavours, available in a way that is faithful to the culinary memory of Florence and of Tuscany: the same imprinting that will brand also the works thought for this "Aperitivo Galeotto". After the "hard work" in the kitchen, the inmates will be present in the hall to take care also of the service, including that of wines from the land confiscated from the Mafia of the PLACIDO RIZZOTTO SOCIAL COOPERATIVE – LIBERA TERRA of San Giuseppe Jato (PA – www.liberaterra.it) .
