B. D. S. di Barchi Andrea & C. In Firenze

25/01/2026: A beautiful and pleasant venue, with cocktails that are generally well executed. However, for a Dry Martini priced at €18, I would have expected the use of a higher-quality olive and, above all, a proper cocktail pick.

09/01/2026: I visited La Menagere with my family. The location is exceptional, and the reception staff were very kind. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for the service, which was decidedly terrible and with virtually no customer service. Our order was taken by a Spanish gentleman who didn't even look at us: he was unfriendly and surly, and every request he made was clearly annoyed. On the other hand, the young man in the dining room, with a southern accent, was extremely kind and helpful: he went out of his way to make us feel comfortable, repeatedly asking if everything was okay and if he could do anything for us. He even accompanied us to the bathroom, while his colleague simply gave unclear directions. Overall, the service didn't live up to the offerings or the prices.
