La Cucina del Ghianda In Firenze

10/05/2024: Unfortunately, this is a total tourist trap. I followed the reviews on Google and it sounded like an authentic Tuscan meal, but this restaurant is geared toward serving tourists, specifically Americans. We had many meals throughout Florence and Tuscany that were truly authentic, but I would describe this as the type of Tuscan restaurant you can find in New Jersey. The food isn’t bad it’s just average and very clichéd. There’s very little in terms of homestyle or creative Tuscan cuisine on the menu. It was also missing a little things like the balsamic vinaigrette was something that you could buy at an American grocery store and not what you would expect in Florence. The staff does a great job and no issues with the service at all. Interestingly, it was the most expensive meal we had in Italy, while also being the least memorable.
