THE GARDEN AND THE KITCHEN
Orto San Frediano
Home bistrot / garden to table experience / kitchen school /concept store
Orto San Frediano is a project born from the redevelopment of a historic nursery in the heart of the Florentine Oltrarno and from the desire to tell new stories in the kitchen.
We are inside the Torrini Garden, a large private space that opens up to the city to offer multiple taste experiences.
A garden kitchen that revolves around the vegetable garden and is inspired by its products, its beauty, in a continuous exchange between inside and outside.
In the garden, the space is marked by the potager cultivated with care and passion, among centuries-old olive trees and greenhouses transformed into places of conviviality, exchange and learning.
In the kitchen, experience, professionalism and creativity meet the freshness of zero kilometer vegetables.

THE HISTORY
Orto San Frediano collects the legacy of a special place, a green space that has been preserved for over a century with the care reserved for the most precious memories: the Torrini garden, 3,500 square meters that rise from via Pisana towards the parallel via della Fonderia, on the left bank of the Arno.
It was 1946 when Mario Torrini, born in Galluzzo in 1904 and graduated as a "gardener and florist of the Kingdom of Italy", purchased the property and founded "Torrini Mario Cactee e Piante Grasse". His specimens are beautiful and original, they won numerous prizes at the Flower Show, which at the time took place in the Uffizi square, and they have a place of honor, with a large exhibition space between the two entrance doors of the gallery.
The Torrini nursery remained active until the 1980s, when Mario decided to sell the entire collection. He will only keep a few specimens for himself, some of which are still at the Torrini house.
The garden has since become a family space, which over the years has preserved the splendid centenary olive grove.
Today it is experiencing a new chapter in its history thanks to Orto San Frediano, so that it continues to be a green space between the buildings.
