Teatro del Sale

About

Teatro del Sale is one of Florence’s most distinctive cultural spaces, created in 2003 by actress Maria Cassi and renowned chef Fabio Picchi. Located in the lively Sant’Ambrogio district, it blends theatre, gastronomy and social gathering in a single venue. Members enter a warm, informal hall where a generous buffet dinner precedes each performance, turning the evening into a shared ritual of food and live art. The stage hosts an impressive programme of music, theatre, dance and international acts, with around 240 shows a yearFeel Florence. Loved by locals and visitors alike, Teatro del Sale has earned a reputation as a cultural circus, a place where creativity, conviviality and Florentine character meet. Its atmosphere remains intimate and energetic, making it one of the city’s most original experiences.
