Borgo San Jacopo In Firenze

Alla mia collezione di cene al Borgo San Jacopo mancava il menù estivo, così appena rientrata dalle vacanze ho organizzato con una mia cara amica. Abbiamo gustato pienamente i piatti che Claudio e la brigata hanno pensato per la stagione estiva, iniziando con l’anguria nell’amuse bouche, poi la melanzana come antipasto, per proseguire con gli spaghetti e caviale e ostriche , lo scorfano e finale con il piccione. Un girandola di sapori accompagnata dal perfetto abbinamento dei vini proposti da Salvatore, sommelier attento alle novità, capace di introdurre un vino del Libano e poi farti apprezzare le grandi maison italiane. Impeccabile anche l’accoglienza, Nicola, Domiziana ci hanno coccolate per tutta la sera, la loro è stata un’attenzione misurata che insieme alla presenza professionale di Claudio e Lorenzo in sala ha reso la serata speciale.

Starred restaurant with incredible cuisine, a very well-defined identity made up of flavors that enhance excellent raw materials. We tried tasting and summer menus, very different from each other, but both absolutely amazing. Among the best dishes are fusilloni, turbot and scorpion fish without forgetting the suckling pig. Impeccable room service, I personally thank Domiziana and Nicola who literally pampered us and the sommelier Salvatore who created perfect wine pairings for us. We don't know the names of the staff in the kitchen, otherwise we would have mentioned them one by one given the wonderful experience they gave us.

Ristorante stellato con cucina di livello incredibile, una identità molto ben definita fatta di sapori che esaltano una materia prima eccellente. Abbiamo provato menù degustazione e summer, molto diversi tra loro, ma entrambi assolutamente stupefacenti. Tra i migliori piatti i fusilloni, il rombo e lo scorfano senza dimenticare il maialino. Servizio in sala impeccabile, ringrazio personalmente Domiziana e Nicola che ci hanno letteralmente coccolato e il sommelier Salvatore che ci ha cucito addosso abbinamenti di vini perfetti. Non conosciamo i nomi dello staff in cucina, altrimenti li avremmo citati ad uno ad uno vista la bella esperienza che ci hanno regalato.

It was my first time in Florence and first but not last at Borgo San Jacopo. A experience to be remember in lifetime. From the moment I walked to the way I was carried out. I arrived slight earlier but they still accommodated me at the lounge, then I was guided to my table where I was facing this massive window overlooking Arno river and Ponte Vecchio. Marco was spectacular waitress who presented all the dishes with impeccable description. I choose their tasting menu and my highlight was pigeon and the pasta with Siberian caviar from Calvisius! I never had a pigeon before, so it was a full taste. After I was done dinner, Nicola the assistant manager came over to make sure everything was good. The energy in that place is out of this World. A big thank you to Chef Claudio and his entire team for leaving my first visit with an impressive impression. Great work!

Bon repas dans l’ensemble mais le repas ne mérite pas les 530€ que nous avons payé. Pas d’alises bouches pour commencer alors que nous avons pris 2 coupes de champagne, un personnel relativement blasé qui débauche sans crier gare. Un bon dîner mais rien de très surprenant et un prix très élevé, donc plutôt déçus.

An evening with friends turned into an unforgettable culinary experience. The restaurant, with its refined and spacious environment, welcomed us with suggestive lighting reminiscent of a starry sky. The Estate tasting menu, with its seasonal dishes, won us over. Sous-Chef Marco D'Ambra orchestrated a culinary journey executed to perfection, while the wine pairing proposed by sommeliers Salvatore Biscotti and Lorenzo Cioni was a pleasure for the palate. The table service by Nicola Longo and Marco Mendichi was impeccable, professional and at the same time pleasant and welcoming. Finally, Petra Dessolini concluded the evening with a masterful presentation of pisco, appreciated by everyone at the table.

For an evening with friends, I chose the Michelin-starred restaurant at Hotel Lungarno, and it turned into an unforgettable culinary experience. The setting was truly beautiful—elegant, spacious, and enhanced by a crush-worthy terrace with Ponte Vecchio view.

Sous-Chef Marco D'Ambra flawlessly orchestrated a culinary journey, while the wine pairing by sommeliers Salvatore Biscotti and Lorenzo Cioni was a delight for the palate. The table service by Nicola Longo and Marco Mendichi was impeccable—professional yet warm and inviting. Finally, Petra Dessolini concluded our dinner with a masterful presentation of pisco, which was greatly appreciated by everyone at the table.

We had very high expectations for this restaurant and I have to say that the experience was beyond all expectations. Elegant and refined location, time stops as soon as you sit at the table. Complements to the chef, great technique, dishes that are beautiful to look at and excellent to eat. A sensorial experience that satisfies and excites you, dishes made in an excellent manner where nothing is left to chance. A big thank you to Nicola, Marco, Lorenzo and Salvatore who provided impeccable service. Attentive and well prepared, they made this experience even more unique. What can I say, we will definitely return and recommend trying this restaurant! Compliments!

Joli cadre, c est Bien dans l assiette mais rien d exceptionnel. C est deja pas mal… en amelioration, je dirais que le plat de viande (porc) n est pas terrible du tout. Un bout de fromage d italie serait appreciable. Les desserts sont super
