Here is the recipe that this month our Chef Simone Bertaccini proposed to all gourmets. You can enjoy these specialities at the Brunelleschi Hotel, where you can find two restaurants: the Restaurant Santa Elisabetta which serves Italian cuisine and the Osteria della Pagliazza that offers typical dishes of Tuscan tradition. Both restaurants are located within the ancient Torre della Pagliazza in Piazza Santa Elisabetta, at few steps from the Duomo and the shopping streets of the historic centre of Florence.

1,8 l fresh milk,
16 eggs,

500 gr rice,
