Aurelio il Re del lampredotto In Firenze

31/01/2026: A charming little place in the heart of Florence. High-quality fresh seafood, delicious contemporary dishes, and a warm welcome. The owner and his staff are incredibly friendly and professional. 🤩

07/01/2026: Cantinetta is a fabulous restaurant that emphasizes seafood served in ways that are pleasing to both the palate and the eyes. Many of the dishes can be deemed extraordinary — just take a look at my photos for proof. Cantinetta is located on an extremely quiet street, quite close to Ponte Vecchio. The quietude of the street leads into a pleasing ambiance inside the restaurant, which is cozy in terms of size, lighting, and the civility of the guests that tend to dine there. The wine selections are fitting for the menu, with an ample supply of choices that work well with seafood. To begin your meal, try the codball with cream of leek and peas. Wow! It is a beautiful dish (see my photo) and a light yet satisfying start to the meal. Many of the seafood mains are sublime. In my latest visit, I tried the baked branzino, which was covered with thinly sliced potatoes that were shaped like fish scales. A delectable design! See my photo on that one. Cantinetta is a place to take a break from the hearty Italian dishes that are found throughout Florence, yet you can easily mix many of those dishes with your seafood thanks to the plethora of choices available on the menu. Cantinetta is a gem.
