Florence Museum & Shop
In 2018, Biscottificio Antonio Mattei opened the Museum & Shop in the heart of Florence, a unique place dedicated to the art and tradition of the famous Prato Biscuits (commonly known as Cantucci or Cantuccini), from 1858 to today. A place where you can discover the Biscuit Factory's history, admire vintage objects, and, of course, taste our biscuits and other artisanal specialties.
A unique experience for lovers of Tuscan pastry tradition!
The Antonio Mattei Museum & Shop is located in Florence at via Porta Rossa 76/r, where it opened in 2018.
The Museum & Shop is open to visitors every day except Monday but only by reservation and from 11.15am to 6.15pm.
The Museum is closed in August and December.

Access and Internal Use
The Museum is the Florentine home of the Antonio Mattei biscuit factory. It is accessed via a small staircase and if it is not booked for some activity, it is possible to sit at the table to drink the coffee which we always pair for free with one of our biscuits.
Unfortunately, due to the building's structure, we cannot facilitate access for people with disabilities.
