Il Guscio In Firenze

Delightful restaurant where you've always had great food. Excellent cellar

5 stars deserved in every way. I don't know what to improve! Complements to everyone!

When we first came to Florence three years ago, the hotel down the street recommended this restaurant. I remember the pici was great. Yesterday, we had another great meal there, this time it was the branzino and paccheri finished off with a glass of dessert wine and a tiramisu. Delicious flavors and simple uncomplicated, much appreciated, freshly prepared food. Service is perfect. Our italian friend swears this is the best restaurant for “real italian food” as he puts it. I have to agree. Update: went back two other times with different people. The tagliata with rosemary and green peppercorns (listed as green pepper on the menu) was outstanding as was the filet with vin santo. Also enjoyed the polpette with lemon for a lighter dish on a hot evening. Plates polished clean. Even the kids loved their meals

Piacevolissimo locale in zona Oltrarno, cucù toscana di ottima fattura, porzioni generose e personale cordiale e sorridente, conto corretto. Merita la visita

When I go to Florence I only have dinner here :)

Unique dishes. Excellent raw materials.

This was recommended by our VRBO host. It was our 1st night in Italy and luckily we were able to be seated without a reservation; albeit it was around 9pm. The staff was very friendly. We all had different types of pasta and the noodles were amazing. Glasses of Chianti were between $6 - $8 Euro but also offered many options for bottles. Tiramisu was amazing. Not a large potion but so well balanced and one of the best we had on our entire trip in Italy.

We enjoyed our dinner at Il Guscio. Octopus was delightful. We shared the salad, pasta with porcini, octopus, beef slices with rosemary, and panna cotta, everything was tasty. Great wine selection and lovely decor on a quiet street.

Excellent place with nice selection of wines

We loved the place, the food and the service. Not to mention that when we got lost, all we had to do was say the name of the restaurant and everyone knew it, it was good to be staying in a true culinary tourist spot. Congratulations guys!!!
