Only half a bottle of water is on the menu, but they only sell large 0.7-liter bottles. The staff seemed a bit grumpy when we asked about it! The food was okay, but very expensive for the portion sizes.
The food at this restaurant was absolutely delicious. The Margherita pizza with arugula and Parmesan cheese can only be described as majestic. The fettuccine with tomato and squid was one of the best dishes we’ve had on this trip. The spaghetti with mussels in a spicy tomato sauce was perfectly seasoned and full of flavor.
The seafood risotto was truly one of a kind, and the mushroom risotto — with chicken added upon request — was simply outstanding. We only wish we had discovered this restaurant earlier!
Temptingly close to Florence's main attractions with the added benefit of Via Faenza's unique charm. Adequate food for the price, and clearly serving an ever-increasing tourist market. It was a good place to sit and grab a quick dinner out of the summer Florence heat. L'Imperatore has an impressively quick turn-around on tables, so there will not be too long of a wait.
