Restaurant Florio: A Taste of La Dolce Vita in Munich
The culinary world in Munich has welcomed a new addition with the opening of Restaurant Florio in the prestigious The Charles Hotel on September 19, 2024. Spearheaded by the renowned Italian chef Fulvio Pierangelini, Florio brings a slice of the Dolce Vita lifestyle to the heart of Bavaria’s capital city.
Lydia Forte, Group Director of Rocco Forte Hotels for Food & Beverage, expressed her excitement about introducing Florio outside of Italy for the first time. She believes that Munich, with its deep appreciation for Italian culture and cuisine, is the perfect location for this culinary venture.
Bringing Italian Flair to Munich

Signature dishes like Artischocke alla Romana are complemented by ever-changing creations inspired by the flavors of each season.
A Feast for the Senses
The ambiance at Florio is as inviting as the cuisine, with moss-green linen wallpapers and silver olive trees creating a tranquil setting reminiscent of an Italian garden. The botanical prints adorning the walls add a touch of whimsy, while the warm tones of rust-colored cushions and walnut tables exude a relaxed yet sophisticated vibe.
Lydia Forte believes that the Munich market will embrace Florio’s authentic and high-quality interpretation of the „La Dolce Vita“ experience. Drawing from over a decade of culinary excellence at the Hotel de Russie in Rome and the Villa Igiea in Palermo, Florio promises a combination of impeccable Italian cuisine, attentive service, and a welcoming atmosphere.
