Michelin-starred Milanese restaurant Trussardi alla Scala, the gastronomic branch of the revered fashion house, is among the most desirable addresses in Italy for its particular formula of old world-meets-avant-garde; director and chef de cuisine Andrea Berton's plates revel in a technical accomplishment underpinned by culinary tradition. To celebrate Trussardi's centenary, Berton closed the doors of his restaurant to open a pop-up location in Florence’s Stazione Leopolda, and devised a menu that perfectly embodied the brand’s philosophy.
