Kottu In Firenze

Small and intimate restaurant, with smiling service. The really sore point for me was waiting 1 hour (by the clock) between appetizer and first course, in a restaurant that had to handle maybe 15 seats that evening. During the wait, there was no attention towards the customer by the staff in clarifying any problems that we or the kitchen itself might have, other than discounting 50 cents from the final bill (goodness to them!). I'm very sorry to give only 3 stars but these are the basics of room service.

Kottu Ristorante Sri Lankese – A Taste of Sri Lanka in Florence! We had the pleasure of visiting Kottu Ristorante Sri Lankese, run by a lovely Sri Lankan couple. Their hospitality was exceptional – they made us feel at home and went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable, even though we arrived two hours early before the shop officially opened. The kottu was absolutely delicious and authentic, bursting with the flavors of Sri Lanka. The entire experience made us feel like we were back in Sri Lanka, especially with the rhythmic sound of kottu being prepared in the background – a truly nostalgic moment! If you’re craving authentic Sri Lankan cuisine and warm, friendly service, this is the perfect place to visit. Highly recommended!

I always gladly return to Kottu, both for the friendliness and hospitality of the owners and because all the menu items are decidedly very good.:

This little place is a discovery! The delicious food is prepared with care, balanced in texture and taste, unique in its kind in Florence. The portions are generous and the service is friendly and welcoming. We have become regulars ;-)

A small restaurant with an intimate and welcoming atmosphere, with very kind service willing to explain their dishes. The menu made us discover the extraordinary flavors of Sri Lankan cuisine, divinely combined here, with great attention also paid to the plating. We have gone there several times now and always happily come back! Thank you!

Abbiamo mangiato molto bene. Il personale molto carino, locale piccolo ma molto accogliente. L'unico accorgimento è che gli ingredienti dei piatti dovrebbero essere indicati nel menù per chi ha intolleranze o allergie.
