Winter Garden by Caino In Firenze

Considering the St. Regis Florence is one of the city’s most highly regarded hotels, I had relatively high expectations for the Winter Garden’s restaurant, particularly as I had also been there a variety of times for drinks at the bar— which has a great selection, and the bartenders are always friendly!— but, lunch fell quite short. It was simply not fitting to the criteria of a fine dining experience. I think that in Florence, it is much better to go to a local spot and try some regional specialties instead, and have a more catered to experience. The atmosphere was lovely but the crowd iffy and service lacking.

Excellent experience, fabulous place. The wrong Negroni however was... Wrong. We need to work on cocktails!

Superb Service. Extremly friendly and attentive waiter. Extraordinary food. The best dishes we had during our Italy trip. Never have eaten a better polpette 😃

Refinated and super elegant. Evocative and nostalgic with the pianist taking you in a trip through time. Super service and friendly personnel. Super worth to arrive to the champagne ceremony around 7pm. Wine list is spectacular.

This is truly quality. Besides the beautiful Ritz, this restaurant definitely means quality. Food was beautifully presented and service was on point. Marco, our server surprised us with his kindness, patience and great professionalism. No doubt that we had the best. My only complaint, annoying babies on a “Michelin” recommendation restaurant. Not sure about that ! Besides the annoying noise, expect immaculate service and great food. 🙏🏼
