Christmas with your family and Easter with whoever you want — or so the saying goes.
But Cibrèo has always been “family”: for its traditional food, for the warmth of its welcome, for that atmosphere where you always feel as comfortable as you do at home… and because even when you’re here with friends, well, you’re still with family. And just like grandmothers, we never step back — so this Christmas, once again, we don our aprons and get to work to gift you unforgettable evenings and unforgettable days.

Shall we start with a little shopping?
Is there anything better than a Sunday stroll through the historic centre, window-shopping for the perfect gift? And we’re right there, ready to cheer you up with a cosy family lunch in true Cibrèo style.
“Le Domeniche del Cibrèo” are the gift you’ll give your lunch break. Whether you’re out with friends, kids, your partner or on your own, Le Domeniche del Cibrèo is the quick but wholesome lunch built around three unforgettable signatures: the most iconic appetisers from our legendary Vassoio, Tagliolini with Cacio e Burro or our Lasagna (honestly, is there anything more Sunday-ish than Lasagna?), and finally a tasting of one of our signature mains or a dessert. Very Sunday, right? We really gave it our all.
Here you can find all the details on Le Domeniche del Cibrèo.

And now we arrive at the real holidays.
For all those who can’t give up the incredible magic of Christmas Eve, on December 24th the Teatro del Sale will transform into the most classic of holiday stages, thanks to a dinner crafted especially for the occasion — a truly unique menu, entirely fish-based as tradition dictates — and a spine-tingling Gospel concert.
On the menu: unforgettable dishes like our Zuppa di Vongoline (you can almost hear Fabio’s voice just saying it, right?), Puntarelle with Anchovies, Celeriac Carpaccio with Bottarga, Black Cuttlefish Ink Soup, Monkfish with its exceptional fleshiness, the legendary Baccalà alla Livornese, and our historic desserts, joined by an irresistible Warm Panettone with Cream. These are just a few of the extraordinary dishes that will lead up to the Gospel Choir The Rivervoices by Nehemiah H. Brown: pure joy and beauty. Discover the complete menu and the artistic program of th night.


And here it comes, the age-old question: What are you doing for New Year’s Eve?
Well, we’ve thought of all the answers for you.

First-born and first on the list of coveted destinations for a New Year’s Eve where food is the true king of the celebration: the Cibrèo Ristorante in Sant’Ambrogio.
Since 1979, it has placed exceptional quality and authentic, refined, deeply emotional flavours at the heart of its story. This New Year’s Eve will be no exception, with a menu inspired by Fabio Picchi’s traditional dishes, elevated with new ideas that stay faithful to that very tradition. You’ll find, for example, the legendary Vassoio in its most wintery version, Riso al Salto with Ragù alla Genovese, Monkfish with Lentils, Veal Fillet with Pan-Braised Artichokes, Purée and Fine White Truffle, and a wide à-la-carte selection of desserts. Pure elegance. Want to discover the amazing New Year's Eve menu? Click here!

When we talk tradition, we can’t fail to mention our Cibreino.
In our Cibrèo Trattoria, the soul of Florence can be felt with every breath — and the New Year’s Eve menu does not hold back on Florentine spirit. This year brings many dishes in pure Picchi style, like the legendary (and delicious!) Insalata di Lesso, or the Insalata di Trippa known as L’Antinfluenzale, with that little mince of aromatics that completes the alchemy of a dish Fabio created precisely for true Florentines. But there will also be Cavolo Nero Farinata, Timballo with Truffle, Beef Stracotto with Purée, and plenty of desserts to choose from. Curious to discover the full menu?

New Year’s Eve with Parisian-bistrot charm at the Cibrèo Caffè in Sant’Ambrogio? Absolutely yes.
A beloved stop for Florentines and expats, one of the most photographed spots in Florence, the Cibrèo Caffè di Sant’Ambrogio has a vibe that welcomes everyone, at every age. The menu? Classic, yes — but with some festive touches:
Our famous Paté will be served on Pan Brioche with a generous addition of our own Bitter Orange Marmalade. Among the first courses, Potato and Ricotta Flan with Fine White Truffle makes its appearance, and we’ll also have Beef Fillet with Elegant Sauce and Artichokes, an unmissable Cotechino with Lentils, and Lingotto di Pecora. And the desserts? The Meringato is absolutely not to be missed.

And if you’re in the mood for something exotic? We’re even more so.
At Ciblèo the menu is always full of surprises — but for New Year’s Eve, we outdo ourselves.
What about this dish: Scampo – Ricciola – Oyster – Sea Urchin, a raw tasting with soy sauce, pickled ginger and wasabi? Or the iconic Seared Wagyu with New Olive Oil and Maldon Salt? Or our historic Bao in a version with Prawn Tempura? Or the Rabbit Roll in Japanese Porchetta Style?
Dishes of extraordinary inventiveness that renew that East-meets-West dialogue Fabio Picchi began in 2017, which has since become a true cult and a culinary pilgrimage in the city. Discover the complete menu, book now!

Last — but absolutely not least — our Cibrèo Ristorante & Cocktail Bar, the youngest of the family, yet already a point of reference for those seeking traditional cuisine with a more contemporary twist.
Besides an extraordinary menu, you’ll also find — as has now become tradition — a double show with two different live DJ sets, and a Welcome Cocktail created for the occasion by our head barman. Want a taste of the menu? Scampo Skewer with Cibrèo Mayonnaise, Farinata with Clams and Caviar, Potato Cappuccino with Toasted Pioppo Mushrooms. Or among the first courses: Garlic, Oil & Chili Risotto with Sea Urchin, or our legendary Plin in a version served in Porcini Mushroom and Parmesan Broth. But you have no idea what the main course and dessert will be. Simply irresistible. Discover here all the menus available, even vegetarian and kids, and book now!
