05/12/2025: This was our second visit to Saporium and probably will be our last. It was just an OK experience nothing really stand out or special about the food, staff or overall experience. Looking back I think when we dined here last year Ricardo was the reason we had such a great time. It's a shame he's not there anymore. Ricardo, you will be missed!
08/11/2025: We recently had the pleasure of dining at Saporium Firenze, and the entire experience was memorable from start to finish. Nestled in a refined and beautifully curated setting, the restaurant immediately stands out for its atmosphere – elegant yet warm, with an attention to design that sets the tone for what’s to come.
The service was truly impeccable. From the welcome to the final goodbye, the staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and always professional, without ever being too formal. Every detail was carefully managed, making us feel genuinely looked after throughout the evening.
We decided to go all in and try all three tasting menus – vegan, seafood, and meat – and it turned out to be a fantastic way to explore the full range of the chef’s creativity. The presentation of each course was visually stunning, with a clear focus on seasonality, balance, and technique. Most dishes were truly excellent – refined yet flavorful, innovative without being excessive. There were a couple of courses that felt a bit less convincing in terms of flavor combinations or impact, but these were rare exceptions in an otherwise impressive sequence.
A special mention goes to the cocktail bar next door, owned by the same team. We highly recommend arriving a bit earlier and enjoying a pre-dinner drink there. The mixology is on point, the ambiance is sophisticated, and it sets the mood perfectly for the evening ahead.
In summary, Saporium is a fine dining experience that lives up to expectations – thanks to the quality of the ingredients, the care put into each dish, the beautiful setting, and a staff that clearly takes pride in what they do. We had a wonderful evening and we’re happy to recommend it to anyone looking for something special in Florence.
