Today we sit with Guy Grossi, owner and chef of Grossi Florentino.
Grossi Florentino, formerly the Florentino Cafe, has been a staple of the Melbourne community since the 1920s. Sitting in the heart of Melbourne’s Central Business District, it has seen a vastly diversifying and evolving city. It stood at the forefront of educating the community about Italian customs and cuisines before a large post-WWII Italian immigration to the city. Since then, the cafe traded hands to the Grossi family who has further expanded and diversified their influence in the community. Today we sit with Guy Grossi who educates us on Italian influence on local laws and policies, shares stories of success and family legacy, and shows us how circularly foreigners impact local cuisine while locals are influencing foreign cuisine.
Join us as we learn how the past and the future of Melbourne is shaped by the Italians.
