La Leggenda dei Frati In Firenze

As a lifelong foodie who has eaten my way through Michelin-starred temples and hole-in-the-wall gems, I can say without hesitation that La Leggenda dei Frati is one of the most memorable dining experiences I have ever had. The setting alone is breathtaking: Villa Bardini sits high above Florence, with gardens that make you feel like you’ve stepped into a dream. But it is what happens at the table that truly defines this restaurant. I chose the nine-course tasting menu, and from the very first bite, I knew I was in for something extraordinary. Each course was a story in itself, balancing artistry, innovation, and deep respect for Tuscan tradition. The pacing was flawless, the flavors precise, and the plating so beautiful it felt almost criminal to disturb it. Standout dishes included a course that reimagined seasonal vegetables as if they were jewels on the plate, and a main that struck the perfect harmony between rustic soul and modern finesse. Desserts were whimsical yet elegant, a finale that left me smiling like a child. The wine pairings were masterful, elevating every course without overwhelming it. The sommelier’s knowledge and warmth made the experience all the more personal. And I must mention the staff: attentive without being intrusive, passionate without pretension. They guided me through the evening with such care that it felt less like dining at a restaurant and more like being welcomed into a world designed to delight every sense. By the end of the evening, I realized this was not just a meal, it was a journey—an immersion in Florence’s culture, flavors, and artistry, all seen through the lens of a visionary chef. If you love food, beauty, and the kind of experience that stays with you long after the last sip of wine, La Leggenda dei Frati is simply unmissable. Five stars feels like an understatement.

An unforgettable experience! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ From start to finish, we were pampered by impeccable service: attentive, cheerful, and never intrusive. The chef was simply extraordinary, capable of transforming each dish into a journey of flavors and emotions, with meticulous attention to both the ingredients and the presentation. Each course was a small masterpiece, balanced and surprising, where tradition and creativity meet to perfection. A restaurant that is more than just a place to eat, but an experience to be enjoyed and remembered. Congratulations to all the staff and especially to the chef, the true soul of this excellence! Thank you, Filippo Emiliano and Ludovica

Amazing service and food. Each person we interacted with did a great job of taking care of us. We were there celebrating an anniversary and afterwards, they took us to the roof to enjoy a view privately of the city.

If you're coming, I recommend the outdoor terrace. You can enjoy the Duomo and the moonlit night view at the same time. The course is beautiful and healthy. A little French flair is welcome.

Ieri sera sono stato con la mia ragazza a La Leggenda dei Frati. Location stupenda, ogni piatto era un capolavoro, servizio impeccabile e caloroso. Un’esperienza indimenticabile, da ripetere assolutamente!

En un día muy lluvioso en Florencia, mi marido y yo éramos los únicos huéspedes en este hermoso restaurante. Sentimos como si fuera un almuerzo privado que el chef Filippo cocinó solo para nosotros! Escogimos el menú degustación vegetariano - con el fenomenal maridaje de vinos - y cada plato fue sorprendente, delicioso y delicioso. Estábamos encantados de conocer al chef Filippo Soporito, y la profesionalidad suave del personal (Geremia, el sumiller, y Nadia y Khadija) significaba que teníamos un servicio atento, pero nunca obstruyente a lo largo de nuestra experiencia gastronómica de 3 horas y 50 minutos. Este es un restaurante realmente extraordinario donde debe relajarse y saborear cada bocado... y cada sorbo. Esta fue la comida más cara de nuestro viaje, pero vale la pena cada euro!
