Cafe Melloni In Firenze

17/01/2025: It was a pleasant discovery! The place is very welcoming and with attention to every detail. Huge selection of wines. The menu is a combination of tradition and innovation. I really appreciated the quality of the raw materials! I'll be back soon.

09/01/2025: The three of us had dinner. I kept getting errors when making reservations on the website, and even when I sent reservation inquiries to my email address, I didn't get a reply. I called during lunch hours and the owner answered the phone so I could make a reservation. Except for the four-person table by the window, all seats were narrow bar tables surrounding the kitchen in an L shape. Not long after we sat down, the owner came with a large menu and briefly explained each dish. I ordered peach pasta with ragu sauce, and my companions ordered ravioli with pear sauce and truffle spaghetti. He recommended a wine that best matched the taste of the dishes, so we each had a glass. The food was generous in quantity and very delicious. For Sekondi, we ordered traditional Florentine offal and beef stewed in tomato broth to share. I wanted to try stuffed and grilled rabbit meat, but my companions were very opposed to it, so I couldn't order it... It tasted really good, as expected. All three of us were so full that we didn't order dessert. With two bottles of water, three glasses of wine, and 1.5 euros per seat (reasonable!), it came out to about 120 euros. They said the menu changes periodically, but I highly recommend it to those who want to try Tuscan home cooking!
