Osteria de'Cicalini In Firenze

25/03/2025: Having visited Florence several times, I can confidently say this is the best Italian restaurant in Florence. Yes! A seafood restaurant in Florence is the best restaurant in Florence! The 7-course tasting menu was an absolute masterpiece, each dish filled with flavor, expertly crafted, and showcasing the freshest seafood imaginable. Every bite was a testament to the chef’s skill and dedication to quality, surpassing those so-called Michelin-rated restaurants. One highlight that cannot be missed is their raw seafood selection. The freshness and quality are unparalleled, offering a truly authentic taste of the sea. If you have the chance, do not pass up the opportunity to indulge in this exceptional offering. Beyond the incredible food, the service was equally outstanding. The staff were warm, welcoming, and passionate about ensuring a memorable experience. Their hospitality made the evening even more special. This place is a true hidden gem in Florence. Do yourself a favor and take a break from the bistecca. If you appreciate authentic, perfectly executed Italian seafood, this restaurant is an absolute must visit.

20/03/2025: Artichokes and cuttlefish, kind and very good welcome. Amazing crudités, oyster, red manzancolla, sea lemon, exceptional sea urchin and scampi. Delicious crab and truffle risotto. Scampi and truffle carpaccio, you couldn't stop eating it. Cuttlefish with white wheat flour, I even mopped it up. And what about the schiacciatine di assompagnento? It's then an excellent glass of Passerina, a glass of Recioto and an unexpectedly exciting sage and lemon liqueur. And on top of all this, the courtesy of the young waitresses, very professional and kind. And the exquisite courtesy of the owner. A place from another time. I hope to return soon ❤️
