La Bistecca - Osteria Fiorentina In Firenze

21/12/2024: Simply lustful, excellent in quality and quantity.... raw top scampi, tartare and red prawns, the hot absurd sole with their puree then prawns with mayonnaise, it's Catalan

05/12/2024: We had a wonderful dining experience at Fuor D'Acqua on our first night in Florence! After an evening stroll, we came upon this restaurant late in the evening and sat down after 9pm. For the next 4 hours, my wife and I had one of the most memorable meals in our 42 years together! We selected the fixed price menu for two and a nice bottle of chardonnay. My wife explained her crustacean allergy, which the restaurant completely understood - oftentimes, the server and even the chef do not understand. Based on her allergy, the chef will avoid those items for her by creating new, off the menu selections while I would receive the typical tasting menu. We proceeded to taste more than eight separate and delicious selections of seafood - I had mine and tasted the special courses prepared for my wife as necessary to avoid her allergy. The pace often slowed to a crawl as we lingered, so allow for digestion. Our server was wonderful and brought us an additional course of frothy lemon sorbetto to buy some time. At one point, he commented, "Take your time, i will be here until 2AM." We eventually made it through and enjoyed our dessert with some coffee. We left after 1:30AM for a 15 min stroll to our accommodations, completely satisfied, knowing we will be talking about this meal for years to come! Thank you!
