Borgo alle Fate wine bar street food In Firenze

As a lover of seafood and seafood restaurants, I was excited to try The Fishing Lab in Florence. However, the experience was mixed. One of the positive aspects is undoubtedly the good food. The dishes were attractively presented and tasted appealing. The friendly staff also contributed to a pleasant atmosphere. However, I noticed that the seafood offering wasn't as extensive as I would have expected from a seafood restaurant. It felt more like a selection of fish tapas, which might be disappointing for some guests. Another point that marred my experience was the crowded atmosphere. Although a certain amount of busyness can be charming, the restaurant seemed congested and noisy that evening, making for a less than pleasant dining experience. The biggest drawback, however, was the price-performance ratio. The prices didn't seem to be in line with the quality and quantity of the food on offer. Considering the above points, I would have liked a better balance between price and quality. Overall, my visit to “The Fishing Lab” was an ambivalent experience. While the food and staff stood out positively, there were also clear weaknesses in terms of the seafood selection, atmosphere and value for money.

This restaurant is located in the heart of Florence, a stone's throw from the Duomo and the same from Palazzo Vecchio, the place is very well looked after with spectacular vaults inside with original frescoes, the menu is either raw or cooked fish or you can skip meat, all with revisited dishes and very tasty

2024.3.12. (Tuesday) I wanted a traditional store feel, but when I went in, I was a little disappointed because it was so clean and felt like a brand new product. The food was decent compared to the price, Paccheri Pasta (14 euros), Arancino (6.5 euros) , I ordered seafood risotto (16 euros), but it wasn't particularly impressive. I drank two glasses of wine (6 euros each) and paid the seat fee (5 euros) before leaving.

We opted for the special Women's Day tasting menu which took us on a unique culinary journey. Each course was a work of culinary art, with sensations that transported us directly to the beach: from the appetizer that evoked the foam of the waves to the plate of lasagnette that seemed to float on a delicious sauce. The combination of meat and prawn concluded the journey with an unforgettable note of flavour. Furthermore, the restaurant's almost museum-like atmosphere added an extra touch of charm to the dining experience. Although the service could be improved, we highly recommend this restaurant.

Keep it up . The spaghetti cacio e pepe with red prawns is excellent I recommend trying the cod with artichokes.

We enjoyed a nice lunch at Fishing Lab recently. They offer a lunch set in addition to their normal a la carte menu. There is a choice of four fish that are grilled and served with salad, rice, two veg and after meal coffee. We tried the salmon and tuna, both of which tasted very good. Portion size is manageable for lunch, service was very good throughout our lunch as well. Would gladly have lunch here again.

Average. Salmon was good. Shrimp was mushy and horrible. Cacciucco was good. Risotto balls bad. Service was good but they didn’t ask why we didn’t eat half the dishes.

A place out of the ordinary for the presentation of the dishes, the beautiful venue, and the attentive and friendly service.

Excellent food, very suggestive and particular restaurant. Quality fish restaurant prices. The staff very polite

I chose this place for my birthday dinner. My girlfriend and I spent a pleasant evening in a welcoming and evocative environment. We were greeted by kind and prepared service. The quality of the dishes was really high, I highly recommend choosing the grilled prawns, tender and at the same time tasty. I appreciated the choice offered by the menu, the dishes were all very balanced and carefully presented. Without a doubt, one of the aspects to underline about this restaurant is the more than honest value for money. It was a pleasant discovery and I will definitely be back!
