Excitement surrounds the opening of summer space, Fishing the Roof!, on the rooftop of four-star hotel NH Collection Palazzo Gaddi. Hot on the heels of the success of Steak Home, which was inaugurated on the hotel’s ground floor in March, the Bizionaire Group has introduced this new bespoke evening dining concept with exceptional views of Brunelleschi’s Dome and the cityscape.
Fishing Lab is famous in Florence for its popular restaurant in via del Proconsolo, where well-prepared seafood is served with a side of history. Now, on the sixth floor of NH Collection Palazzo Gaddi, which is located in a sixteenth-century palazzo in central Florence, raw fish compositions are crafted as creative solutions on the panoramic terrace that tops the building where London-born author John Milton (Paradise Lost) once resided among the noble Baroque-style halls and walked the majestic staircase vaunting the sculpture Resting Hercules, attributed to Gioacchino Fortini. Marvellous frescoes by famous painters such as Ranieri del Pace and Luca Giordano equally wow.
Order a mixed seafood platter or a tuna tartare dotted with olives, or go crispy and contemporary with a sea bass or salmon taco. Guests also love the pinsa, a take on a thin pizza base, topped with sensual shrimp and seductive burrata cheese. If you’re craving a full meal, opt for the saffron risotto with red shrimp carpaccio and courgettes or the very Instagrammable tuna burger sandwiched in a black bun and lavished with wasabi mayo.
Fishing the Roof! is open from 5pm onwards to hotel guests and external customers, offering an exclusive experience: spectacular views of Florence’s skyline among drinks, wines, raw fish and creative recipes.
