Gucci glamor: This glamorous green space is home to Gucci's new restaurant, Gucci Osteria, in Gucci Garden in the Italian city of Florence.

Creative mix: The restaurant is the product of a collaboration between Michelin-starred Italian chef Massimo Bottura and Gucci's creative director, Alessandro Michele.

International fame: Bottura is a chef famed for his award-winning restaurant Osteria Francescana in the Italian city of Modena.

Reinvented classics: Bottura has reinvented Italian classics for the new menu at Gucci Osteria. "Traveling the world, our kitchen interacts with everything we see, hear and taste," he says.

Past and future: The interior references Florence's rich history -- the walls are engraved with lines from a traditional 15th-century carnival song by Lorenzo de' Medici.

Florence hotspot: The restaurant is located in Gucci Garden, the renovated Gucci Museo next to Florence's Palazzo Vecchio.

In the garden: Gucci Garden is also home to exhibition and retail space, showcasing the best of the brand.

Exhibitions and art: The exhibitions inside Gucci Garden include "GUCCIFICATION," pictured, which explores the history of the famous Gucci logo.

Multi-sensory: There is also a red-velveted cinema auditorium that broadcasts experimental short movies.

Giving back: The multi-purpose space is officially open -- entrance to the Garden costs 8 euros (roughly $9.50) and 50% of each sale is donated to restoration projects in the City of Florence.
