Borgo San Jacopo In Firenze

Incredible restaurant, staff were extremely generous and accommodating and gave us an experience well above and beyond what was expected — a standard 3 courses ended up being more like 8 with celebratory desserts prepared for both occasions we were celebrating. Allow 3 hours+ (even for a simple a la carte) so as not to rush.

We had an absolutely outstanding dinner at Borgo San Jacopo for my husband’s birthday back in October. The restaurant itself is both cozy and beautiful and the service was attentive without feeling like someone was hovering over you all evening. We were given the option of ordering a la carte or a choice of 3 tasting menus with the caveat that if you choose a tasting menu the whole table must choose the same one. We went with a tasting menu and really loved the number of courses that it allowed us to sample. Favorite dishes were the ricotta snack, risotto with meatballs, the lamb loin and the salted caramel peanut bonbon at the end. The mushroom ice cream that was served with the crudités was very interesting and we also loved the house made olive oil. They really made my husband’s birthday feel special and it was one of our best meals in Italy.

Having ended up there after being bounced from another restaurant, we were welcomed and taken on an exciting tasting menu. The quality of the ingredients combined with the chef's skill produce dishes that are unpredictable and delicious in every way. The service was impeccable, with a professionalism rarely found, even at other Michelin-starred restaurants. A huge round of applause and thanks to Domiziana, Lorenzo, and Salvatore.

My husband and I were there for our Christmas Eve dinner. The restaurant's tasting menu was impressive. The seafood menu was thoughtfully designed and nicely done. As a carb-conscious dieter, I had to admit that the restaurant crushed my determination in a good way. Their baking was exceptional, especially their Panettone, freshly made and served with vanilla sauce, so delicious that I could not control myself 😜 keep eating it! Please reserve your table before visiting.

If you like formal and many amuse-bouches, this is your place. We found the many amuse-bouches overwhelming, and the food very good but not extraordinary. Too much focus on presentation amd not enough on the food.

An excellent dining experience at Borgo, our waiter Marco is so warm and passionate yet very professionally keeping comfortable interactions. Thanks Marco! Food is amazing, beautifully seasoned and courses of the menu carefully arranged. The ambience of the dinning area is simple and modern yet warm and welcoming. With the light touch of Christmas decor the atmosphere is festive and romantic. We had wonderful time here.

A truly excellent experience. The food was excellent, with attention to detail, and the service was impeccable, professional yet warm, making us feel right at home. We celebrated our 50th birthday in a pleasant and welcoming atmosphere, taking home truly special memories of this evening.

Tried it for a special occasion. Fantastic.

Excellent meal at this Michelin-starred restaurant (perhaps the best one-star restaurant we've tried). High-quality service. Prices a tad high, perhaps.

What a beautiful and delicious restaurant! Everything was perfect. Excellent food, a wine pairing perfectly suited to the dishes, and service beyond perfection. You could hardly do better. Bravo!
