What an amazing dinner place. Food was amazing- attention to detail with plating and presentation, needless to say- delicious. Waiter knows exactly how the food was sourced and how the dish was made We went there for our 10th year anniversary and I've managed to plan a romantic dinner with the help of the staff- having rose petals on our table, a specially made millefleur dessert and a beautiful garden view. The whole place was breathtaking the moment we walked into the 4 seasons hotel and subsequently their garden. The only downside (for my partner, as I was wearing long pants), was the mosquitoes in the garden during our dining experience. P.S- pretty sure we saw Kanye west and his wife Bianca (plus two bodyguards) there as well!

We had the tasting menu, 1 x vegetarian & one meat. Both were delicious with excellent service. Yes it is pricey, but as a special it was really good. Drinks in the outdoor bar were made all the better by the terrific server we had - he was engaging & interested in our preferences when making recommendations. The home of the Negroni is a place to have a Negroni.

We loved it here! We arrived a little before our reservation and the staff invited us to sit out in their beautiful garden while we waited. The actual inside of Il Palagio is also stunningly beautiful, but the layout and atmosphere were still very welcoming. We had Andrea as our waiter and he was absolutely excellent, everyone on staff that we encountered was genuinely nice and we even got to chat with them a bit. As for the actual food at Il Palagio, we were very pleasantly surprised. This was our first Michelin experience, but the food was very approachable and delicious. The type of comfort food your grandma would make you if she happened to have Michelin quality cooking skills and lived in Florence, Italy. Overall great experience, even with the high price tag. If we ever came back we might do a tasting menu to try that out, this time we did a la carte and still loved it.

We had dinner in this restaurant. Beautiful place, clean and very elegant. The team took great care, we appreciated the service of the waitress and the sommelier. We opted for a l'incontro tasting menu. We enjoyed the entire menu, except for the lamb, which was a little too salty for our taste. After commenting to the staff regarding the dish, they offered us aperitifs and coffees. Thank you to all the kitchen and dining team for this wonderful experience. To do again if I'm passing through Florence.

For the first time here at Il Palagio. I have to say, this is not my first gourmet restaurant, and most of the times I have been quite disappointed. Usually it's all hype and no substance. At Il Palagio, I have to say that I was very impressed and VERY pleased, from beginning till the end. The courses came quickly, just as I would expect from a restaurant of this quality (in some gourmet restaurants, I had to wait for 1 hour per course). The service was impeccable, friendly, speedy, with a fantastic wine selection. Some pre-course dishes were....interesting. One bite was salty, the next sweet. We had a five course meal, and each course was absolutely delicious. And a special mention for the dessert. We were already so full that we decided to cancel the dessert course and we only wanted one dessert to share for the four of us. The dessert that came, however, was some kind of cinnamon parfait with paper-thin slices of apple and celery. Frankly, I detest celery, but this dessert was pure art, both by aesthetics and i n c r e d i b l e taste. Of course it is pricey, but what do you expect from a restaurant of this quality? From my side, I would rate it an honest and absolute 5 out of 5!

We ate here with 4. Unlike other Michelin starred restaurants, this one is not one where you will feel you overpaid and they underdelivered. Book it with no regrets. The tasting menu was creative, a blend of the traditional and innovative in a way that tied us to Tuscany. It was simply sumptuous. The service was excellent. The staff really made us feel special. So attentive. A big shout out to the sommelier, Walter Meccia, who truly deserved his awards, especially Forbes 40 under 40 in the wine industry. The wine pairings took us in exciting, unexpected directions. He told us the story of each wine and how they paired with each course. This not only heightened the experience but also increased our appreciation of the craft. Finally, the restaurant is located in the beautiful Four Seasons. A worthy pairing in its own right. This is one tasting I hope to experience again.

My party chose the tasting menu and wine pairing, and we had an absolutely delightful experience. Staff was exceptionally professional and super attentive. As tourists we appreciated menu presentation in English so we understood full details of each course. The menu was an elevated take on traditional Tuscan cuisine, and the dessert was spectacular.
