Il Vecchio e il Mare In Firenze

Absolutely the best pizza, delicious sushi. Highly recommended

The food is good, the offer is wide and also includes sushi and slightly fusion dishes. But the portions are small and the costs are high. I don't know about the pizza because we didn't get it, the ones we saw passing by looked nice, Neapolitan style. They have the AIC certification but the waiters didn't seem up to par, they said that we could have gluten-free pizza and maybe something from the kitchen but they didn't rule out the risk of contamination. Those who have the AIC certification cannot make these speeches, evidently they were not trained well. The gluten-free dishes arrived on plates of the same color as the normal ones, fortunately everything went well but at the time we didn't feel so convinced.

We went to the "vecchio e il mare" on Wednesday (I recommend booking) beautiful location, kind and professional staff, good pizzas and starters.

Nice place but somewhat commercial food...

Optimal!!! both the fish and the fantastic pizzas! Friendly and very professional service

one of the best Neapolitan pizzas in Florence. But you can also find Tuscan dishes and even sushi!!

I didn't like the gluten-free pizza, too dry, little seasoning, mozzarella that wasn't melted. They didn't seem artisanal at all or even cooked like other gluten pizzas. What a disappointment!!!

If you’re looking for an authentic dining experience in Florence, Il Vecchio e il Mare is a hidden gem that checks all the signs of a truly great restaurant. From the moment we stepped in, we noticed that everyone spoke Italian, and there was no English menu in sight—a sure sign of its local authenticity. Their wine list features local wines and Franciacorta, a testament to their commitment to quality. This spot offers not just food but an experience, with a knowledgeable staff proud of their cuisine and the local ingredients they use. The food and service were outstanding, with impeccable attention to detail—even going so far as to make us a salad that wasn’t on the menu. Every dish was a celebration of Italian flavors, crafted with passion and care. If you’re in Florence, don’t miss this place—it’s where you’ll find the soul of Italian cooking!

Very good pizza. We took a really long time before being served and we all had only one exit, almost all pizzas and two first courses. A bit much for a midweek evening... Maybe it was just a bad evening... We will try again because the place is very nice and the pizza was very good!

All good but it seemed high priced to me.
