Odeon Bistro In Firenze

17/01/2025: Small and intimate restaurant, with smiling service. The really sore point for me was waiting 1 hour (by the clock) between appetizer and first course, in a restaurant that had to handle maybe 15 seats that evening. During the wait, there was no attention towards the customer by the staff in clarifying any problems that we or the kitchen itself might have, other than discounting 50 cents from the final bill (goodness to them!). I'm very sorry to give only 3 stars but these are the basics of room service.

04/01/2025: Kottu Ristorante Sri Lankese – A Taste of Sri Lanka in Florence! We had the pleasure of visiting Kottu Ristorante Sri Lankese, run by a lovely Sri Lankan couple. Their hospitality was exceptional – they made us feel at home and went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable, even though we arrived two hours early before the shop officially opened. The kottu was absolutely delicious and authentic, bursting with the flavors of Sri Lanka. The entire experience made us feel like we were back in Sri Lanka, especially with the rhythmic sound of kottu being prepared in the background – a truly nostalgic moment! If you’re craving authentic Sri Lankan cuisine and warm, friendly service, this is the perfect place to visit. Highly recommended!
