Giovanni Mascagni missed the street foods of Florence which he grew up with, so he opened a restaurant.
Giovanni Mascagni, or Gio as he’s known, put out a call for two roommates to share a townhouse he had rented. His roomies turned out to be a chef and a guy with business smarts.
Me, I only slurped gelato when I visited Florence many years ago when Vancouver was still in its gelato infancy. The trio completed much of the grunt work renovating Fiorino themselves, including lime washing the walls to resemble the “outside of Tuscan villas,” while slicked in sweat during the heat dome last summer.
Initially, the owners envisioned Fiorino as a sandwich shop but given the great location they added dinner. At lunch, schiacciata sandwiches prevail — delicious-sounding ones, like the “Michelangelo”, with guanciale, honey, walnut crema, frisée, cherry tomato and parmigiano — along with a few other Florentine dishes such as pastas and fritto misto with confit garlic aioli.Advertisement 6The dinner menu features appetizers, mains and dessert. The standout for me is the coccoli e prosciutto .
Colombini wines and its support of women in the winemaking business. Cocktails include a number of riffs on the ever-popular negroni and “Italian” versions of a paloma, which seems to be having a moment, and a mojito.Article contentSIDE DISHESChris Whittaker, long the farm-to-table, ecologically minded chef at Forage restaurant at the Listel Hotel, left in 2018 and moved to Blind Bay.
