where the timeless flavours of Tuscany are reimagined through Niccolo Hotels’ contemporary culinary lens
Chengdu, China, 1 August 2026 — Niccolo Hotels invites diners to discover the heart of Tuscany with a new menu at Niccolo Kitchen, launching simultaneously in Changsha, Chengdu, Chongqing and Suzhou. Available daily for lunch and dinner, the menu draws inspiration from the region’s culinary traditions, reinterpreted through Niccolo Hotels’ contemporary perspective.
Rooted in fresh, seasonal ingredients and celebrated for their simplicity, the new Tuscan offerings balance rustic character with Niccolo Hotels’ contemporary culinary style. Notable lunch dishes include Schiacciata all’olio — a crisp savoury flatbread; Arista di Maiale — roast Ibérico pork loin finished with rosemary, garlic and stewed lentils; Risotto alla Fiorentina — velvety risotto with spinach and artichokes; and a selection of thin-crust pizzas, among others.
As evening falls, diners can select from the à la carte menu, showcasing specialities such as Romanesco Cauliflower Steak; Pappardelle al Cinghiale — broad egg pasta with slow-cooked pork ragù; and Cacciucco alla Livornese — seafood stew with lobster, prawns, mussels, calamari and perch. Trolley-to-table service adds theatre to the experience, with select dishes prepared or finished beside the guest, including Battuta di Carne — beef tartare with confit egg yolk, anchovies and capers — and hand-rolled Pici pasta with wild mushrooms and shaved black truffle.
Enhancing the dining journey is a curated Flavour Box of oils, salts, pastes and butters, thoughtfully designed to complement local tastes while remaining rooted in Tuscany. Guided by Niccolo Kitchen’s team, guests may personalise selected dishes with paired condiments, from house-made butter infused with Sichuan peppercorns and dried chillies for Bistecca alla Fiorentina — dry-aged porterhouse — to chopped salted chilli paired with fermented black bean relish. Other accompaniments include spiced salt for grilled vegetables and fermented chilli-garlic sauce for Tuscan kale, adding an interactive dimension that connects the experience to each city.
To conclude, guests may choose from a dessert trolley featuring Niccolo Kitchen’s signature Torta della Nonna, a traditional Tuscan custard tart, and Tiramisu. Complementing the meal is a mobile drinks trolley offering a curated selection of cocktails and Tuscan wines, available at dinner by the glass or bottle, with recommended pairings for each course or as a final flourish to the experience.
Now a permanent addition to Niccolo Kitchen, the Tuscan menu reflects Niccolo Hotels’ commitment to memorable gastronomy, shaped by the energy of the open kitchen, warm hospitality, and sophisticated yet approachable dining.
Niccolo Kitchen is open daily from 6am to 10pm. For more information and online reservations, visit niccolohotels.com, follow Niccolo Chengdu on RedNote or WeChat, or call +86 28 8220 8888.
