Discover the Christmas and New Year's Eve menus

Caffè Scudieri invites you to indulge in a unique culinary experience to celebrate holidays. From the traditional Christmas Lunch, where classic dishes are reimagined with a contemporary twist, to a magical gourmet evening for the New Year’s Eve gala dinner, every event is designed to create unforgettable moments in a refined and welcoming setting near Florence’s iconic Duomo.

Our Christmas Lunch takes you on a journey through the most authentic flavors of Italian cuisine. The menu begins with a delicate chicken galantine, paired with crispy chicory and confit cherry tomatoes, offering a balance of lightness and taste. This is followed by a beef tortello served in aromatic vegetable broth, which enhances the genuine flavors of the filling. For the main course, we present Chianti-braised beef cheek, slow-cooked for extraordinary tenderness, accompanied by rosemary mashed potatoes and sweet-and-sour cauliflower—a perfect blend of Tuscan flavors. The meal concludes with a handcrafted Scudieri panettone, enriched with a creamy mascarpone mousse infused with orange zest for a fresh and enveloping finale.

The New Year’s Eve dinner transforms into an exclusive and dynamic soirée in the style of a gourmet “buffet”. The menu features a selection of reinterpreted sushi creations, such as smoked salmon with avocado or cured beef rolls with zucchini and ponzu sauce. Warm delights follow, including crispy gyoza with tangy soy sauce and a gourmet take on spring rolls. Irresistible bites such as seaweed bonbons, tempura vegetables, and polenta gems with Gorgonzola cream are complemented by seafood delicacies like mini cones of salt cod with confit tomatoes, fresh Belon oysters, and Mediterranean red prawns with lime and sour cream.

The evening concludes with an assortment of delectable sweet treats, including chocolate and cream-filled choux pastries, macarons in pistachio, raspberry, and vanilla flavors, and flaky pastries filled with custard. The experience is paired with the sparkling notes of Freccianera, an exquisite Franciacorta méthode classique, along with exclusive beverages for dessert and after-dinner moments, such as gingerbread hot chocolate, apple pie latte, and a festive pomegranate vodka sour.

To make New Year’s Eve even more special, a live DJ Set will keep the celebration going until 2:00 AM, creating the perfect atmosphere to toast to the new year with style and energy.
