Our story
Fabio, Turi, and Eli have been friends since childhood, their bond forged in the narrow streets of a small Albanian village. Each shared a dream of moving to Florence, the city of art and romance, where they would one day open a restaurant that celebrated the rich traditions of Tuscan food and wine. They often sat during long summer nights, discussing their plans, their voices filled with hope and determination.
Years passed, and their dream led them to Florence, where they worked tirelessly in different kitchens, learning the secrets of Tuscan cuisine and soaking in the vibrant culture. After years of saving and countless hours of hard work, they finally found a small, charming space in the heart of Florence.
It was nestled in a cobblestone alley, its windows adorned with vibrant flower boxes that spilled over with color.
They named it “Osteria de’ Cicalini”.
Today, we raise a glass of Brunello di Montalcino, as a symbol of our journey and our love for the land that has welcomed us. “To Florence, to our dream, and to the enduring spirit of Tuscan cuisine.”
