Elegant and worn-out meet in the Pampaloni restaurant
Pampaloni, Firenze
The Florentine Pampaloni family has been producing silver wear since 1904. Today the two Pampaloni brothers, Francesco and Gianfranco, are the third generation of this "silver family".
In the end of 2012 they made an important decision, in order to make the old silver factory "live" more: they started a restaurant in the silver workers' old canteen. Here they have managed to create a magical "out of this world" atmosphere. Old worn out furniture and the humble canteen constitute the perfect contrast to the elegant silver chandeliers and the silver cutlery "Due Sicilie" from 1828.
"I want people to feel like a king when they eat here", says Gianfranco, who's humble-elegant restaurant has become a true success. When you have been there, you'll understand why!
In this gallery you'll find photos from the factory, of the Pampaloni silver wear, tools, machinery, the show room and some of the persons behind the success.
