We discovered this gem by accident. My girlfriend says, "I want fried chicken," and who am I not to indulge her? We searched and found STARCHICKEN. It's both star and chicken.
The owners are incredibly kind and offered us sauces for the chicken and a side dish whose name I honestly can't remember. The chicken was crunchy (yes, I said crunchy instead of crispy) and juicy on the inside. Honestly, considering the amount of food I devoured and gobbled up, it seemed very reasonable. Sandwiches start from about €8.90 to €12.90, and then of course there are the buckets.
The idea of providing plastic gloves so you don't get greasy hands is AMAZING.
Really AMAZING. Anyone who likes chicken will love this place.
Now I want to go back to Florence just for this chicken...
PS: We spent €22 each, but we ate way too much. If you eat reasonably, the range is €10-20.

For me, it's absolutely the best fried chicken I've had in Florence!
Because it's in a fairly hidden location, it's usually not crowded, so that's a plus for me.
Plus, every time I've been, they've always offered me a little treat while I wait for my order.
The staff is helpful and friendly! I highly recommend it.

Do not miss Star Chicken!!! My husband and I stumbled upon Star Chicken in 2015 shortly after it opened, and he mentioned it at least twice a month for the next ten years... We finally returned today and it was as incredible as ever. Juicy, crispy, and fresh with generous portions, it did not disappoint. There is something about the breading that exceeds any other fried chicken we've had, plus the homemade sauces are all amazing. Grazie Star Chicken, a fried chicken institution.

Visiting StarChicken Gourmet in Florence was a pleasant and tasty surprise. The chicken was juicy, well-seasoned, and clearly made with care, not like typical fast food. Everything felt fresh, simple, and satisfying.
It’s a great spot when you want something quick but still good quality. If you’re walking around Florence and need a reliable, flavorful meal without spending too much time, StarChicken Gourmet is a solid choice.

We ordered from home, well cooked and tasty chicken, crispy and good, shame about the slightly rubbery fries, in any case everything was delicious

Fried chickens taste very good, might be slightly salty for me personally but it’s at an acceptable level, the chicken pops have more than I’ve expected, the workers are very friendly as well, would definitely come again :)

Having stumbled upon that street in Florence by chance, we wanted to try this charming little place. What can I say? Excellent food for those who love chicken with various sauces, perfectly fried and not at all heavy to digest. Prices and delivery times are reasonable for the high quality they offer, which is nothing like the large industrial chains. The two very kind and hospitable owners shared their story with us, explaining how they opened this restaurant and created such a simple yet high-quality product. Takeout is also available. Highly recommended!
