I highly recommend staying at the Hotel Savoy located in the heart of the historic center of Florence in the Piazza della Repubblica. Within this luxury hotel, there is a charming indoor-outdoor restaurant with impeccable service and cuisine, Irene’s Firenze. It is here that I first discovered baked eggplant slices with a delicate, savory ricotta stuffing. This is my adaptation of those splendid Florentine Involtini. A glass of Podere Albiano Tribolo wine is very, very enjoyable with this dish!
