Osteria del Borro In Firenze

Perfect and very kind service, everything good and a beautiful place. We repeat for sure!

Parmigiana is a must. Artichokes were also delicious. I didn’t love my pasta but it was still good

The best view of the Ponte Vecchio at sunset!

The food was a good experience, bit expensive for what we get but is Florence, good wine selection, we didnt like the waiting time for the food and staff it was not a match, we were seat in the last table of the restaurant close to the bathroom with tables available and been empty during our dinner. At some point we just want to leave and we did it.

a chic restaurant. amazing service and of course excellent cuisine.

Very nice place, very kind staff, I come back to them every year when I go to Florence

A TOUCH OF ELEGANCE ! After a glorious week in Salerno and Rome we had just the one day to discover beautiful Florence. We enjoyed a fabulous private guided tour of a few museums and then it was time for dinner. This classy restaurant was highly recommended by the staff of Hotel Berchielli ( right next door ) where we were staying. We turned up at 7.30pm on the Thursday night without a reservation ( no time ). NO PROB ! The restaurant was virtually fully booked but I managed to convince Serena the charming manager to fit us in. We were seated at a table towards the rear of the restaurant....with a good view of the kitchen. One could tell this was a restaurant that did things a certain way.....keeping it classy ! Initially a server named Klaudia looked after us with glasses of water but in the end it was Serena the manager who took perfect care of us during our dinner visit. FIRST UP ! I ordered the Italian house beer - 5% abv...similar to a pale ale. We also ordered the Home Made Potatoes Focaccia ( Tuscan DOP ham and pickled artichokes ) for a starter. My ice cold beer arrived with a lovely tall stem glass and a complimentary serve of Artisan Bread & Flatbread courtesy of Serena. My house beer tasted quite good but the bread was a bit too crunchy for our taste. GOOD STUFF ! Our starter of Home Made Potatoes Focaccia hit the table and tasted sensational. We love well made focaccia and this was as good as it gets....the delicate ham and flavorsome artichokes hit the spot. ENTREES ! Serena was quite helpful when we chose our main dishes....my wife ordered the Fried Beef Meatballs On A Tomato Puree From Il Borro while I chose the Beef Sirloin, Garlic Green Beans And Roasted Cherry Tomatoes. It became totally obvious that everything about this restaurant was executed with extreme thoughtfulness and panache. Our beautifully presented entrees arrived together and tasted very good. DESSERT ! The dessert menu had a few interesting choices on it. Surprisingly my wife went for the Tiramisu ( it's usually chocolate cake ) and I selected the Chocolate Mousse And Rum, Honey Wafer And Candy Orange. OF COURSE ! And as we had found out in Salerno and Rome...Italians love to dine out late. The tables were filling up fast as we waited for our desserts to come out around 9pm. Our desserts tasted exquisitely delicate. I was not surprised to find out much later that the owners have similar restaurants in London and Dubai. They must be ticking a lot of boxes. We enjoyed our lovely dinner experience here right next door to the best boutique hotel on the planet. And then we walked outside to admire the glistening Arno River !

Elegant, beautiful, tasty and high quality! Nice place.

Staff is indifferent but the food is legendary

A very beautiful place. I recommend the cheese plate and wine. Pastas are handmade. honey is great
