At Florio Restaurant, Fulvio Pierangelini brings his approach to classic Italian cuisine to Munich. The verdant dining room and garden-facing terrace overlook the Old Botanical Garden, creating an easygoing setting that takes cues from the relaxed atmosphere of Rome’s Le Jardin. It’s a natural choice for lingering over an Italian meal without leaving the heart of the city.
