SET THE SCENE

STYLE

While lunch highlighted Florentino’s bold, modern and striking design elements, “when we entertain at home it’s always simple”, Guy says. “Lots of lovely food served pretty rustic. That’s both what we like to eat and how we like to cook.”

MENU

‘What we serve tends to vary,” explains Guy, “but the calamari ragu with pasta makes a regular appearance and is always a highlight.” But it’s not just savoury nibbles on the menu for the Grossi clan. “Luckily my wife Melissa loves baking,” Guy admits, “and we all love to eat it!”

PLAYLIST

“Carlo (Guy’s son) tends to take over the music,” Guy admits. “As DJ he plays plenty of crowd favourites; ’70s-type numbers and disco tend to be a hit.”

DRINKS

“There is always plenty of wine,” laughs Guy. “Chardonnay is my favourite, but there’s some beautiful Australian chianti and sangiovese that often makes an appearance. And there are always Italian wines, too, of course.”
