La Cucina del Ghianda In Firenze

15/06/2026: Breathtaking. The pici cacio e pepe are delicious, as are the pappardelle with ragù. The real highlight is obviously the steak, 10 out of 10, it melts in your mouth... and Giacinto is a superstar. It will become a must-try every time we return to Florence.

15/06/2026: Ristorante Cicalone is always our FIRST reservation that we book upon arriving to Firenze! We visit Florence every year and eat here multiple times during our stay because it's just that good. The staff is engaging and friendly and the food is always served quickly. The atmosphere is fun and festive. Everything from the antipasti to the many pasta dishes, the Ossubucco, Red Wine and Black Pepper Beef Stew, or Florentine Steak is mouthwatering and fresh. The chef is incredibly talented and also a fantastic baker so save room for dessert! This year we celebrated my mother's 90th birthday at Cicalone and the always hospitable, inviting staff pulled out all the stops to make certain everything was perfect. The tiramisu was even presented with a birthday candle, while the staff sang and clapped. Oh, and the new wine door? You must try the Hugo Spritz!
