For the adventurous palate: two tasting journeys of 5 or 7 courses, crafted by Chef Oliver Betancourt.

A fine dining experience in Florence conceived as a culinary journey, guiding guests through flavours, contrasts and inspirations through the cuisine of chef Oliver Betancourt: a contemporary approach that, over more than 13 years of Cuculia’s identity and research, weaves together technique, seasonality, fermentation, and inspirations spanning the Mediterranean and more distant worlds.

Our tasting menus are also available in fully vegetarian and vegan versions, created for those who appreciate a gourmet approach to vegetables with the same depth, creativity and elegance.

Wine tasting Menu

Cuculia’s sommelier will guide you through a journey of the finest Italian wines, carefully selected from Tuscany as well as other regions in Northern and Southern Italy.
This curated selection complements the culinary experience, skillfully enhancing or accompanying each dish on our menu.
Included in the tasting menu is also our freshly brewed, handcrafted kombucha, adding a refreshing and original touch..
