Il Forna Dei Ciompi In Firenze

Informal yet elegant...and the cheeses here...mamma mia!!! An experience to repeat...as soon as possible.

We had the pleasure of dining at Io Osteria Personale, and from start to finish, the experience was exceptional. Upon arrival, we were greeted warmly and offered the freedom to choose any table, setting the tone for a relaxed and personalized dining experience. One of the standout aspects of the evening was the staff's knowledge and assistance in pairing the perfect wines to complement our meal. Their recommendations enhanced each dish, with the octopus being particularly memorable—tender, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Opting for the five-course tasting menu, we were not disappointed. Every dish was creative and delicious, offering a refreshing departure from the usual pizza and pasta. The diversity of flavors and attention to detail in each course truly showcased the chef’s talents. To top it off, the staff went above and beyond by helping us arrange a taxi back to our hotel, making the entire evening seamless and stress-free. In short, Io Osteria Personale provided a unique and delightful dining experience that we totally recommend to anyone looking for a break from the traditional Italian fare. This restaurant is certainly worth a visit.

Super inventive menu, very honest, well cooked, fresh ingredients, absolutely impeccable service (waiter was so nice! 😊 ) and a dessert I wont forget (crema di mais). I will come back for sure! Congratulations to the whole team!

Incredible modern Italian cuisine with a Japanese twist. If you’re tired of eating at the same trattoria and up for some adventure, I suggest trying this place. It’s been on the Michelin guide, but the food tastes like a Michelin restaurant.

It’s a small, cozy restaurant with delicious food and excellent wine options. We were served professionally, yet with ease and friendliness. Totally enjoyed our evening and would gladly come back!

Delicious place with a good atmosphere.

Intimate spot with a great ambiance, offering both à la carte and tasting menu options. The one catch: all guests at the table must choose the same appetizer, first, and second course—only the dessert can be selected individually. The dishes are rooted in tradition but feature creative, modern twists. Cocktails lean classic, the service was warm and attentive, and the wine pairings were perfectly on point. One small suggestion: the first course (can’t recall the name) was overwhelmed by tarragon leaves—they gave it an odd, almost soup-like flavor. We ended up pushing them aside.

A very well-coordinated team, a small but very nice restaurant. Reservations are recommended. Excellent food.

Top place! The staff is very trained and helpful, in addition to the fact that they are very nice! The food is very good, refined and of high quality! It is the second time that we come, after years, and it is always a certainty! Highly recommended!

4-course menu Pea ice cream was strangely delicious Ceviche was a novel taste Pasta was salty Grilled octopus was soft and sophisticated Italian desserts are hard to fail
