THE HIT LIST<br />
Tastemakers: Michele Notarfrancesco with his<br />
father-in-law Torello Latini, whose restaurant is<br />
celebrated for its authentic Florentine cuisine<br />
arrive: the house ham for antipasto, Tuscan<br />
minestrone for primo and the bistecca alla<br />
fiorentina – a bloody, 5cm-thick steak – for<br />
secondi.<br />
As the evening draws on and the wine<br />
keeps flowing, groupings dissolve and new<br />
acquaintances are made.<br />
“We love talking with people and we<br />
love to see people talking with each other,”<br />
Notarfrancesco says. “People sometimes<br />
write and say they met their wife or husband<br />
here.”<br />
If you’re still hungry, the sugar-laden<br />
desserts go down a treat before strolling<br />
back to your palazzo with a bottle of<br />
Il Latini olive oil under your arm.<br />
