Villa Machiavelli - Ristorante Albergaccio dal 1450 In San casciano in val di pesa

14/11/2025: My favorite restaurant in Florence by far. Amazing quality and taste of food.

11/11/2025: We visited this restaurant on a rather crowded evening. There were four of us, and the dining room was very crowded, likely due to the large group. Despite this, the service was courteous and attentive enough considering the situation. The cuisine was decent: good ingredients and dishes presented simply but carefully. Our meal wasn't bad; on the contrary, it lacked the detail that makes a truly memorable dinner. One aspect we didn't appreciate, however, was the ending of the evening: after dessert, we were asked if we wanted coffee, otherwise we would have to leave our table because it was needed for another reservation. I understand the crowd, but it was a request that made us feel a bit pressured and somewhat ruined the atmosphere. In conclusion, an overall decent experience, but room for improvement, especially in terms of time management and the welcoming atmosphere when the place is very busy. It's probably worth trying at a quieter time.
