Varadero In Firenze

A corner of Cuba in Florence, exquisite staff and excellent food

Six stars, like in Dubai, but without the pain in the ass of travel, because San Jacopino is within everyone's reach, especially the ugly ones like me and my friend, who have the habit of exchanging the shitty stickers of their miserable existences, but don't want to skimp on the quality of the libations. And the Varadero is the outpost of the resistance to the usual ribongia, where two radiant canephors (Clizia and Dafne?) serve you fish that are more alive than fresh and that speak to you, and tell us how things didn't go very well for them either... And we gobble down the morsel, and peace be upon them! Not to mention that brief and intense moment, when you go to the checkout and have a chat with Che, while Dafne sums up: is there a greater catharsis than when you pay willingly without having to fiddle with the numbers?

Very delicious, highly recommended! 1. The paella costs 16€ and tastes as good as the one I had in Spain for 140€. It’s not too salty and very delicious. 10/10 2. Eight shrimps for 20€, the meat quality is average but the taste is very good.9/10 3. Cuban style coconut caramel dessert 10/10 4. Mussels are very small, but the ones I ate in Italy were very small. Maybe it’s a matter of variety? Taste 10/10 As an aside, the chef is very enthusiastic and often comes out to ask you if it tastes good, but it’s really delicious. Èdelizioso!

It was worthwhile trusting the Korean review. The staff were very friendly. He also said that he likes K-dramas. There are a lot of people. To be honest, I just did the lemon cello, but the seafood paella was really delicious. 잊혀지지 않는 맛.

Because the accommodation was nearby + there were Korean reviews, I went in without thinking much. I enjoyed it. There was also an English menu with a QR code, so it was easy to select the menu. Unlike other Italian restaurants, the servers came often and had small talk, which was nice as an extrovert.

I visited this restaurant again after half a year. The boss recognized me at a glance. I was really touched. The enthusiasm and delicious food were still the same. This restaurant made me unforgettable in Florence. Although I don’t know when I will come to Italy next time, as long as I come back to Italy, I will definitely eat here again. Full marks! Do the best in the quest for the best ristorante and the grandest sorpresa sono stato riconosciuto. Fatty sentire a casa, anche qui in Europa. Non so quando potrò tornare, ma non perderò mai l’occasione di farlo!

Everything was cooked to perfection!!!! I will miss florence because of this restaurant for sure. I went here two times because it was that good

back here for 2 days in a row..the food never fail.. all of it was perfect the atmosphere services a must try if you visit florence

I visited Florence because it was close to my accommodation. It's not bad, but as others have said, it's not as good as the pasta of life. The lemon cream pasta was delicious, but wow, this wasn't it. The lobster pasta was plump, meaty, and delicious...but it was too salty...the girl who served me swiped it away as soon as I could eat it, so it was a little uncomfortable and burdensome. The tiramisu is so so so...you can just leave and clean it up...but if you come to Florence, it's worth a visit at least once!!

Localino accogliente piacevole ed informale, cibo buono ed ambiente piacevole, di ispirazione cubana. Chiediamo un fritto di solo calamari e non misto con verdure e. a. come prevede il menu. La signora ci spiega doviziosamente perché non è possibile farlo. Prendiamo atto della sua articolat spiegazione. Ma neanche dopo poco tempo, vediamo passare davanti ai nostri occhi e servire al tavolo accanto, un fragrante fritto dorato di soli calamari... ne captiamo la vista e l'odore ma niente di più. E la doviziosa spiegazione della signora? boh. ....è comunque evidente neanche al Varadero siamo tutti uguali? Saranno trattamenti special riservati ai membri del PC Cubano? o la frittura è solo servita, ai dissidenti anti-castristi? Chissà.......per scoprirlo bisognerà tornarci. Vedremo :-)
