La Loggia Restaurant In Fiesole

Beautiful villa overlooking all of Florence. All courses were spectacular and well presented. The wine selections were great as well. Amazing experience all round.

l'incanto dello spettacolo che si gode guardando verso Firenze è impareggiabile. il nostro pranzo alla Loggia è stato perfetto cibo all'altezza delle aspettative

Unfortunately I am deeply disappointed with my experience here tonight, on many levels. I came here last year for dinner at the San Michele restaurant(not La Loggia) and it was a wonderful time. Because of this, I wanted to take my sister here the next time I was in Florence. I made the mistake of making a reservation for La Loggia thinking it was the same as I had reserved previously, not realizing there were two different restaurants. I was charged a €200 deposit before my visit, which I called about and they explained on the phone it would be subtracted from the bill. We arrived and had drinks in the gardens. They made us pay for the drinks separately before proceeding to dinner. At the table I realize my mistake and explain this to Simona, the person who was seating us. She did not want to refund me but said we could still have dinner at San Michele, and we changed tables. There Dino greeted us, and we explained the situation to him and he said it was no issue and that he would refund us whichever amount we did not spend from the deposit. Dino took care of me last time I visited as well and was a huge part of why my experience was so great the first time. Unfortunately the food from the San Michele restaurant was very disappointing. The risotto was so salty we were not able to eat it, which Dino noticed, and the ravioli was overcooked and a bit salty as well. The first time I was here, the food was perfect, so I’m not sure what happened. When it came time to pay, Simona came back as she did want to refund us but said for the €80 we were now overpaying on our bill she would give us a nice bottle of wine and a bottle of olive oil. She came back with a bag and said “here is your gift”, which since we were technically paying for it, felt a little off. There was no bottle of olive oil in the bag and when we looked up the wine bottle on Google we learned it retails for €25. Again, all of this tainted our experience, especially since half the food we had was inedible. The service we received from everyone else was top notch and obviously the premises are spectacular, but not sure I can recommend this place anymore.

Very tasty, calm and atmospheric. Great view! I especially liked the dessert 🍮 🍓
