Ever been served a plate of pasta prepared by a prince? Yeah, we haven’t either. This can be easily fixed with a trip to La Giostra, where the chef/owner, Dimitri d’Asburgo Lorena, is a Habsburg prince. The kitchen and dining room is filled with other Habsburg royalty willing to – get this – tend to your every need.

Not only does this Florence institution provide a certain regal tone, the classic Italian menu is filled with delicious fresh pastas, braised meats and all the truffle-laced dishes you could imagine. It was an easy decision here at Cooling Your Jets to feature a menu inspired by La Giostra’s lavish spread. As far as the royal service? You’re on your own.
