Chef Gaetano Trovato’s 2-star Michelin Ristorante Arnolfo has opened in new premises in Tuscany’s Val d’Elsa.
His original Arnolfo, opened together with his brother Giovanni in a palazzo in the historic centre of Colle Val d'Elsa, in the hills of the province of Siena, established Trovato as one of the top creators of Italian cuisine in recent decades.
A new location close to the town
Arnolfo is now on a hillside opposite the little town in a new location that unites two of the chef's great passions: cooking and architecture. In fact, the restaurant's name is a tribute to Arnolfo Di Cambio, a 13th-century sculptor, town planner and architect who was born in the province of Siena.
The new Arnolfo: sustainability and comfort
Chef Gaetano Trovato defines the new venue as "an innovative place in terms of its technological content, but also in terms of what went into its realization. I wanted to fully represent the inseparable link between haute cuisine, people and the environment." 
Seating for 40
One thousand square metres of floor space divided into two rooms, with six and eight tables, for a total of forty seats. Aesthetically the restaurant is two frames: one facing nature with a view of the town and the surrounding countryside, and the other facing the kitchens and the staff.
A wine cellar for 6,000 bottles
The interiors feature burnished and polished metals, Siena earths combined with travertine and local marble, while the large frame with the view of Colle Val d'Elsa was made by a local craftsman from mirrored steel The wine cellar has a contemporary design, can hold six thousand bottles and has an area dedicated to private events.
Two new menus
There are two new menus: Eighty-two/twenty-two to celebrate Trovato’s 40 years in the business, and Vegetable Impressionism, the vegetarian path taken by the chef over the last15 years.
