Santa Elisabetta In Firenze

Our lunch at Santa Elisabetta was nothing short of phenomenal. We had the pleasure of trying the "Traces of Innovation" tasting course, and each dish was a delightful surprise. From the carefully crafted amuse-bouche to the unforgettable dessert made with pumpkin and chestnut, every bite was packed with flavor and creativity. The service was impeccable, with attentive staff who made us feel welcome without being intrusive. The ambiance was intimate and cozy, providing the perfect setting for a relaxed yet refined meal. We would gladly return to Santa Elisabetta on our next visit to Florence!

My husband and I splurged for our honeymoon and got the 9 course prix fixe with the premium wine tasting. We had one of the two window seats with the beautiful exposed brick arch above the window. It was the best dining experience I have ever had and glad we were able to get a reservation while in Florence. We tried items that were more adventurous for us and wouldn’t picture ever eating. If you are unsure about certain items make sure to tell the server. My husband does not like raw scallops and oysters and those happened to be part of the first course so they made comparable substitutions. Everything was thoughtful and beautifully presented. The sommelier came out before each course and poured us impeccable tastings that paired well with the food. The staff were always courteous and went out of their way to make the dining experience unique. We even had a specialty honeymoon cake prepared by the pastry chef. The food was incredible and made me gasp with delight upon each bite. Definitely worth it to experience a 2 star Michelin restaurant. I tried to share photos, but the lighting was very dim and Google Maps would not post due to quality of the pictures. Who knew?!

We visited for Christmas lunch and had a wonderful experience. The food and drink were great and the service was excellent. Highly recommend.

It was a late lunch and food was amazing, including wine pairing. Not probably fault of the restaurant, but next to our table was a table with young couple, which was pretty chatty, being relatively loud, making video recordings of every dish being served, and photos non-stop and showing to each other something with the sound on the phones, so their media interactions maybe acceptable where they are from in Asia, but it was distracting to other guests who came to enjoy food and quiet time in the upscaled restaurant.

For us it was the first time in a very high level restaurant and we were pampered all evening by the staff in an intimate and welcoming room, tasting incredible and exciting dishes! Thank you!!!

We had an amazing dinner experience here while we were in Florence! The staff was very attentive and accommodating with our group. The food was delicious and presentation was beautiful. Highly recommend making reservations here if you’re visiting Florence and would like an exceptional fine dining experience.

Amazing experience. The food was fantastic, the attention to detail was outstanding, and the staff were friendly and very accommodating to our tastes to ensure an outstanding night. Would have no hesitation coming back next time we're in town.

The service was top-notch and the food is amazing (especially the seafood). The whole experience lasted 3.5 hours and this is easily one of the best meals I've had in Italy.

Very happy with our choice of Michelin restaurant in Florence on our holiday. We had done a lot of research on where to go, and chose Santa Elisabetta as it fell within our price range, while being 2-starred. This was our 2nd Michelin experience, and it did not disappoint! The service was unlike anything we've ever experienced. Perhaps due to our missing experience, but it was simply amazing. We consulted with the waiter since we wanted the 9 course chef experience, but had concerns about certain dishes such as the eel. Simply because we've both had eel previously and did not like it. The waiter was patient and understanding, but persuaded us to try it and see if they could change our mind. Something we are very happy about, as it is without a doubt one of the best tastings I've had in my life. We paired the dinner with the premium sommelier "wine" pairing as we wanted the full experience. This was an experience, but considering the price not something we would do again. It should be noted that we are young, and might not appreciate the chosen wines as much as someone with a more refined tongue. A highlight of this was the smoked tea that was paired with the eel. Very unique and interesting, and as it was served halfway through the dinner, provided a nice break from the wine. Highlights from the dinner was without a doubt the eel (!), Amberjack (with the most amazing bearnaise), red mullet (extremely well put together), red prawn (very creamy and delicious) and the squid with an accompanying "espresso". Delicious! The chef surprised us with a banana/espresso dessert, which was interesting as it was only the 2nd time they had served it. It was tasty, but sadly didn't live up to our expectations for the final tasting. Perhaps due to our preferences, as we weren't too keen on espresso/banana in general. However, we had agreed with our waiter to simply let the chef surprise us, so the fault is on us. We had been given ample opportunity to influence the menu beforehand with preferences, and should have simply stated that we wanted to try their "Black Forest" dessert. With that said, this was a minor spot on an otherwise amazing night. Amazing atmosphere, due to the low amount of seated guests, and without a doubt the best service we have ever experienced - combined with amazing food - provided us with an amazing memory.

We enjoyed an absolutely beautiful meal at the very intimate Ristorante Santa Elisabetta! The service was exemplary and the food was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious! We splurged on the wine pairing and the selections were outstanding. The presentation of the dishes was synchronous which felt very luxurious. We will absolutely return on our next trip to Florence and can't wait!
