13/01/2025: Meal of my life at Il Barretto twice during our trip to Florence. If I had one night left on earth, I would want to eat here. There should be a 3 month wait to get in, it is that good. This is a family owned, and operated restaurant. The dining room is a beautiful, and intimate setting for the incredible food they serve here.
Our server was so lovely, and made us feel incredibly welcome. He knew everything about the menu, inside and out. He had excellent wine recommendations, and gave fantastic tips when selecting from the menu. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and made with love. Pasta, meat, salad, everything. Even the simplest of dishes, such as the Tuscan White Beans, were out of this world delicious. On our second visit, I ordered my own portion and wouldn’t share, that is how good they were.
I look forward to coming back to Il Barretto. They treated us like family, it was an authentic dining experience, which is so rare these days. It truly was our top meal, and a very big highlight for our time in Florence.
07/01/2025: Service, menu choices, ambience, value and food quality were all superb. Next time I am in Florence I will 100% return for another great experience.
