Borgo San Jacopo In Firenze

Celebrated my birthday at Borgo San Jacopo simply unforgettable. Stunning views, flawless service, and exceptional food. The food… simply outstanding. Each dish is beautifully presented and perfectly balanced, combining creativity with authentic Italian flavors. Every bite feels like a celebration in itself. A perfect blend of elegance and emotion. Truly world-class.

An absolutely outstanding dining experience. The food was truly exceptional—every dish was crafted to perfection and full of flavor. The service was equally impressive; the staff were incredibly attentive, warm, and professional without ever being intrusive. The atmosphere of the restaurant is simply beautiful—elegant, inviting, and perfectly balanced for a memorable evening. Everything came together flawlessly. Highly recommended.

Borgo San Jacopo in Florence remains, in my opinion, the absolute best Michelin-starred dining experience I have ever had. Even though the guides might rank other multi-starred restaurants higher, this remains my top choice after visiting many others over the years. ​The atmosphere is truly outstanding—it feels incredibly upscale yet remains attentive and very friendly. The staff is always ready to help with insightful suggestions, which makes the service feel personal rather than stiff. ​During our visit, we opted for the a la carte menu, and the meal was simply superb. We ordered so much food that I could barely breathe by the end, but I regret absolutely nothing! Every bite was worth it. If you are in Florence, this is a must-visit for the perfect combination of world-class cuisine and a welcoming, high-end vibe.

We had an absolutely exceptional experience at Borgo San Jacopo, and I cannot say enough about the level of care and hospitality we received—especially from our server, Lovish. From the moment we arrived, every detail was handled with precision and genuine warmth. Lovish was attentive without ever being intrusive, anticipating our needs and making us feel completely at ease. One member of our group is pregnant, and the team went above and beyond to thoughtfully guide her through the menu and ensure every dish was safe, delicious, and beautifully adapted. That level of care meant so much to us. The sommelier was equally outstanding. While we enjoyed a wine pairing with each course, he thoughtfully brought a bottle of vintage apple juice so that our pregnant friend could fully participate in the experience. It was such an elegant and generous touch, and truly speaks to the level of attention this team brings to every guest. The food itself was spectacular—refined, balanced, and presented with artistry—but what truly elevated the evening was the service. We never felt intimidated or out of place, which can sometimes happen in Michelin-starred settings. Instead, we felt genuinely welcomed and cared for. From the table settings to the pacing of each course, every detail was flawless. This was not just a meal—it was an experience we will remember for a long time. Thank you to Lovish and the entire team for making our evening so special.

We had a good meal here. It is a one star Michelin restaurant but their prices are more like a 2 star restaurant. Plan on spending 350€ per person without wine if you have 2 courses. Their wines are from expensive to outrageous. Good wines but they push the prices a lot.

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.
