GUCCI's positioning of giardino 25 is still a restaurant, although officials also emphasize that it "offers coffee and cocktail drinks throughout the day".
The store is not large, can only accommodate up to 16 guests, and the layout and design are the same as previously exposed. Originally a florist, giardino 25's design continues the atmosphere of the original florist, with the entire space as bright as a flower bush, while also incorporating the brand's classic elements and the cultural flair of Florence.
In terms of style, giardino 25 is actually a combination of traditional Tuscan bottega restaurant and French bistro (bistro), mustard yellow walls, beams and columns carved with letters on the top, relief mirror tiles behind the bar, oak floors with eight-pointed star patterns and other details are very exquisite, and there are leather peacock blue sofas and chairs, similar to the temperament of Gucci Osteria da Massimo Bottura, a restaurant opened by GUCCI before.
Giardino 25 will serve breakfast from 8 a.m. (breakfast featuring traditional local dim sum, Japanese and Mexican creative dishes) and will be available throughout the day until 1 a.m.
This time GUCCI also officially introduced the bartender of Giardino 25, Martina Bonci from Umbria, who prepared a series of specialty cocktails for the store, including "Mémoire di Negroni" in tribute to the Italian Negroni (said to have originated in Florence), and "1921" (taste of spice and earthiness) named after the founding year of GUCCI.

Currently, Giardino 25 has only confirmed closing days on January 1, August 15 and December 25, and the rest of the time it is open 24/7. However, entering the store requires advance reservations, and students who plan to go to the scene may wish to prepare first.
