I' Girone De' Ghiotti In Firenze

14/01/2025: Our lunch at Santa Elisabetta was nothing short of phenomenal. We had the pleasure of trying the "Traces of Innovation" tasting course, and each dish was a delightful surprise. From the carefully crafted amuse-bouche to the unforgettable dessert made with pumpkin and chestnut, every bite was packed with flavor and creativity. The service was impeccable, with attentive staff who made us feel welcome without being intrusive. The ambiance was intimate and cozy, providing the perfect setting for a relaxed yet refined meal. We would gladly return to Santa Elisabetta on our next visit to Florence!

04/01/2025: My husband and I splurged for our honeymoon and got the 9 course prix fixe with the premium wine tasting. We had one of the two window seats with the beautiful exposed brick arch above the window. It was the best dining experience I have ever had and glad we were able to get a reservation while in Florence. We tried items that were more adventurous for us and wouldn’t picture ever eating. If you are unsure about certain items make sure to tell the server. My husband does not like raw scallops and oysters and those happened to be part of the first course so they made comparable substitutions. Everything was thoughtful and beautifully presented. The sommelier came out before each course and poured us impeccable tastings that paired well with the food. The staff were always courteous and went out of their way to make the dining experience unique. We even had a specialty honeymoon cake prepared by the pastry chef. The food was incredible and made me gasp with delight upon each bite. Definitely worth it to experience a 2 star Michelin restaurant. I tried to share photos, but the lighting was very dim and Google Maps would not post due to quality of the pictures. Who knew?!
