This fall, Four Seasons Hotel Firenze is unveiling exciting additions, including the launch of Onde restaurant on October 3, 2024, set within the newly renovated Palazzo Del Nero.
Onde brings a fresh take on Florence’s dining scene, blending coastal Tuscan flavors with a stylish, vibrant atmosphere. Executive Chef Paolo Lavezzini, inspired by his roots in Tuscany’s Versilia region, collaborated with a talented team to create a contemporary fish osteria with a glamorous twist, featuring seafood classics like raw fish, fried paranza, and “spaghetto con le arselle,” all meant to be shared. To enhance the experience, a DJ set plays every night, adding to the restaurant’s lively charm.

Adjacent to Onde is Bar Berni, a vermouth bar with all-day dining inspired by the Tuscan archipelago, led by Bar Manager Antonello Palermo. With its botanical decor and views of the Italian-style garden, Bar Berni offers cocktails that complement Onde’s Mediterranean theme.
Both venues are located in Palazzo Del Nero, a 16th-century building offering 36 luxury rooms and suites.
This historic structure, once home to the Del Nero family, has been redesigned by Pierre-Yves Rochon, preserving its Renaissance charm while introducing modern touches. The Presidential Suite, with its 19th-century ceilings and frescoes, reflects this blend of history and innovation, providing an elevated guest experience.
