La Cocotte Bistrot In Firenze

05/12/2025: Such a great experience at Gucci Osteria! Food and staff were incredible. The Journey to Modena dish was such a stand out. We did the 3 course dinner menu and I would highly recommend it. The Cinta Senese smoked shoulder should definitely be shared, we made the mistake of ordering 2 of these and 1 is more than enough for 2 people.

03/12/2025: We enjoyed Massimo Botturo's food especially his Ragu tagliatelle and we follow his cooking classes online but our experience at Osteria Gucci was disappointing . Apart from the bread selection which was the highlight, the tasting menu did not have the "wow" factor we anticipated. The food was presented as 2-3 separate parts but they mostly did not compliment each other. The best dish was Cacciucco's dreaming consisting of tuna belly , scallop and leek. The scallop was delicious and the tuna belly on the crispy base decorated with flowers on top was well balanced. I did not enjoy the roots , mushroom and red berries as it was too acidic and the pork belly served with a green sauce was too salty and the skin was not crispy . I was surprised that the pappardella in Osteria Gucci did not have any wild boar meat in it although the sauce was tasty and it could have done with less of the burnt orange zest. The dessert was the most surprising as it was rather savoury despite containing chestnuts ! I do like my dessert sweet or citrusy fresh but savoury did not go well after an equally savoury meal . Service was efficient but rather indifferent and impersonal .
