IL BARRETTO In Firenze

Meal of my life at Il Barretto twice during our trip to Florence. If I had one night left on earth, I would want to eat here. There should be a 3 month wait to get in, it is that good. This is a family owned, and operated restaurant. The dining room is a beautiful, and intimate setting for the incredible food they serve here. Our server was so lovely, and made us feel incredibly welcome. He knew everything about the menu, inside and out. He had excellent wine recommendations, and gave fantastic tips when selecting from the menu. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and made with love. Pasta, meat, salad, everything. Even the simplest of dishes, such as the Tuscan White Beans, were out of this world delicious. On our second visit, I ordered my own portion and wouldn’t share, that is how good they were. I look forward to coming back to Il Barretto. They treated us like family, it was an authentic dining experience, which is so rare these days. It truly was our top meal, and a very big highlight for our time in Florence.

Service, menu choices, ambience, value and food quality were all superb. Next time I am in Florence I will 100% return for another great experience.

Very elegant place. All the dishes were really excellent, and the hospitality of the "landlady" is the additional reason to come here. We will definitely be back.

We had an amazing evening at the El Barreto restaurant! As soon as we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the owners who made our experience unforgettable. The setting is charming and authentic, perfectly reflecting the essence of Florence. The dishes were simply delicious, each bite was a real culinary journey. The flavors, presentation and quality of ingredients were impeccable. We highly recommend the house specialties, which are a real treat for the taste buds. Many thanks to the owners and the entire El Barreto team for their warm welcome and attention to detail. We will definitely come back during our next visit to Florence!

Everything is delicious i tried the Ravioli and fall in love with it.

A fabulous Restaurant recommended by our Hotel during our short stay in Florence. Beautifully decorated for Christmas this welcoming and cosy place was a real joy. Great Staff who made us feel welcome: excellent food- we shared a calamari salad as a starter: I ate the chicken with mozzarella & tomatoes & spinach with roast potatoes & my husband ate Ossobuco with mashed potatoes followed by Tiramisu & Hot Chocolate Pudding with glasses of Prosecco & Red Wine 🍷- and finished with homemade Limoncello. Excellent food & service & atmosphere.

There was a gentleman named Massimo who went above and beyond to ensure our dining experience was enchanting. We had Florentino steak recommended by Massimo, and it was amazing. Great flavor, and the size could easily feed two adults. We are planning to return asap Thank-you Massimo

OMG… one of, if not THE best pasta and tiramisu I’ve ever had in my entire life; it’s a must if in Firenze 🥰

Food is delicious, nice selection of wine and the service was excellent. The atmosphere is cozy. I recommend making a reservation for dinner. If we visit Florence again we will go back.

This was my first time trying this restaurant. The interior is very elegant and cozy. The food we tried were the cheese and pears, caprese bufala, soufflé, Taglierini Tartufo, Filetto and Verdure Griglia. Overall, the food tasted very good and the staff were very courteous.
