PIZZA AND FRESH PASTA AT IT’S VERY BEST
B
rigitte Pigani together with her husband Gianni have worked here on the coast for more than 20 years with there Italian Gourmet Restaurant De’Medici. One year ago the outgoing Bridgitte opened the restaurant La Fiorentina Restaurant on the new golden Mile between Marbella and Estepona.
That Brigitte would feel at home in the gastronomic arena was not foreseen. She worked successfully in the advertising and fashion scene during the mid 70’s in her homeland Germany where she also met her husband Gianni “it was love of first sight” she says which is a testament to there 33 years of marriage. At the time Gianni ran a very successful and well known Restaurant and Brigitte progressed with her career in fashion. The couple spent their holidays in Marbella during the mid 80s and Brigitte and Gianni were fascinated with the untouched Costa del Sol but were also surprised with the lack of gastronomic offers. “Besides Marbella Club and Toni Dalli there was nothing special in Marbella” both of them comment. Gianni was immediately attracted to Marbella and wanted to relocate Brigitte however wanted to stay in Duesseldorf where she was happy and successful in her job and did not want to leave her big circle of friends but Gianni was persistent and finally persuaded Brigitte. In 1990 they opened the Italian Gourmet-Restaurant De’Medici. It was not really a good time to invest in Marbella but with bags of enthusiasm they managed to establish the restaurant as one of the finest address’s to dine on the Costa del Sol.
The Pigani Family
One year ago Brigitte opened the La Fiorentina the restaurant where mainly fresh Pasta and crispy Pizzas from the stone oven are served. With the food priced at fantastic value the restaurant is frequented for lunch by families with children and business people. In the evening there is a daily Live Music Programme with acts from along the coast. During its short period of trading La Fiorentina has developed into an absolute place to be Restaurant thanks to the engagement of Brigitte with her elegant outfits she guarantees a glamorous appearance and with her radiance and positive elegance manages to enchant every guest.
