Maurizio Zanolla Enoteca Bistrot In Firenze

27/03/2025: Really enjoyed the pizzas, but the highlight for us was the baba al rhum! The staff were extremely accommodating and very friendly.

20/03/2025: As an Australian food critic with half a decade in the industry, I’ve had my fair share of exceptional meals, but Osteria Il Giardino di Barbano delivered an experience that truly blew me away. The bistecca alla fiorentina was a masterpiece—perfectly charred on the outside, yet beautifully rare and tender within, boasting a deep, dry-aged richness that only the best cuts can achieve. Paired with a bottle of Chianti Classico, the bold tannins cut through the steak’s succulence, unlocking layers of flavor that lingered long after each bite. Beyond the food, the vivacious ambience made the evening even more memorable. The restaurant was alive with the hum of lively conversation, the clinking of glasses, and the warmth of genuine hospitality. The energy of locals and travelers alike created an atmosphere that felt both intimate and electric, making it the kind of place where every meal turns into a celebration. Plus an amaro on the house was an excellent way to round off the evening For an authentic Tuscan dining experience that delivers on every level, this is an absolute must-visit in Florence.
