I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Firenze

29/12/2025: Last night, we had a wonderful experience at Chef Filippo Saporito's Leggenda Dei Frati. The venue is simply enchanting, located inside Villa Bardini and boasting a breathtaking view of the city. Hard work, research, and thoughtfulness create a wealth of flavor. The cuisine is deeply rooted in the local area, and the wine selection is the result of long and meticulous dedication. Some courses are already missing as soon as you finish them, but the crescendo of flavors in each dish makes you want to see what else the chef will delight you with. The bread, too, is incredible, masterfully presented in all its forms, creating the perfect pairing with the dishes. The desserts are simply a triumph of flavor. Every detail of the dishes exudes love and care. The service is truly impeccable. An experience truly worth experiencing.

21/12/2025: Dining at La Leggenda dei Frati with my family was like stepping into a little Florentine dream. The restaurant, nestled in the terraced gardens of Villa Bardini, where lush vegetable gardens offer hundreds of freshly picked aromatic herbs transformed into unique flavors, offers an experience that captivates every emotion. From the terrace, Florence unfolds in all its beauty: Brunelleschi's Dome, the Palazzo Vecchio with Arnolfo's Tower, the Basilica of Santa Croce, and the Ponte Vecchio appear like a living painting, transforming every dish into a moment of poetry. The cuisine of chefs Filippo Saporito and his wife Ombretta is elegant and surprising. The chicken liver terrine is a refined intensity, the perfectly cooked pigeon enchants from the first bite, the cream of Mazara red shrimp and chickpeas surprises with its balance and delicacy, and the rose-shaped beetroot enchants with its almost ethereal beauty. The desserts are true masterpieces: the sweet reproduction of Brunelleschi's Dome and the miniature of Michelangelo's David transform the dinner into a tribute to the art and history of Florence. The gluten-free menu offers a complete and delicious experience even for those with special dietary needs, with the same care and creativity as the rest of the cuisine. The evening unfolds in an elegant and welcoming atmosphere, with attentive and discreet service that leaves time for contemplation of the panorama. To make everything even more extraordinary, until April 2026, Villa Bardini hosts the exhibition "Oceans" by David Doubilet for National Geographic, which brings the beauty and fragility of the seas before our eyes in breathtaking images, adding a touch of wonder and poetry to the dinner. La Leggenda dei Frati is more than just a restaurant: it is a place where fine cuisine, art, nature, and family intertwine, where every flavor tells a story and every view is breathtaking. An evening here is unforgettable, etched like a precious memory of Florence, an emotion to cherish in your heart. Thank you, Chef Filippo, for turning dinner into an extraordinary experience.

08/03/2026: Absolutely wonderful! The Burrata pizza was simply divine. Fresh ingredients, made to order. The service was quick and the waitress was incredibly friendly. Unbeatable value for money.

28/02/2026: Great pizza!!! Would recommend!

12/03/2026: I enjoyed my food, and the service was good. The management isn't what I was used to. The place is more touristy than I was used to. I see it in the customers, the prices, and the portion sizes.

10/03/2026: On Sunday evening, in the company of a friend, I happened upon this delightful trattoria, located in one of those alleys near Piazza della Sognoria. The welcome was top-notch; it felt like home, in a simple and refined setting that immediately puts you at ease. The service was the same: attentive and friendly, despite the informal atmosphere. The menu is authentic and local, far removed from the touristy offerings that are now proliferating everywhere. I tried the lampredotto-filled ravioli creamed in a mouth-watering salsa verde. For true lovers of Tuscan cuisine, especially Florentine, this reinterpretation was surprising and exceptional. I will definitely return, perhaps to try the lasagna with game ragù or one of their appetizers with Tuscan cured meats and cheeses. I recommend it to everyone. Laura

25/01/2026: Very nice atmosphere, top-notch food. Highly recommended. Everything delicious. Special truffle tagliolini. Try it and believe it.

25/01/2026: Cute little place. Delicious food. We had the ficattola with prosciutto and burrata. Delicious. Two generous first courses. The pappardelle with wild boar were delicious and very well seasoned, and the tagliolini with truffle were fantastic. Friendly staff.

19/03/2026: Very good value for money, excellent welcome

13/03/2026: My wife and me dined here last week 3 times, good wine plenty of choice food was excellent , service was efficient, friendly and non intrusive , we had Bistecca alla Fiorentina 2nd night and it was simply devine, staff were attentive and welcoming, thanks Derek and May see you next Autumn , easy 9.5/10

25/01/2026: Excellent food. The Aconese sauce is overpowering with too many different flavors, but it's definitely good! The new Acone olive oil is excellent. The cured meats are good, but the crostini are a bit less so. The table wine is good, definitely superior to the usual gut-burning Tuscan ones. The desserts are excellent, all homemade. Fast and courteous service. Excellent value. The only problem is that it's a bit far from the city. An experience to repeat!

19/01/2026: I came back here on Saturday evening even though it's a bit far from home, but I took the opportunity to take a tour of Mugello. Like the other times, the welcome was excellent and the dishes were high-quality at a reasonable price. We'll be back soon because I saw the tagliata with porcini mushrooms.

18/02/2026: Excellent breakfast, fresh and very good products

08/02/2026: Very nice and cozy place with book shelves, good prices and welcoming service. But coffee and pastry didn’t impress me unfortunately

05/03/2026: Very delicious Italian braised beef tripe

26/02/2026: Peposo is so good!!!! I had a lot of prejudices, but I was pleasantly surprised by the super friendly staff, who explain the dishes and suggest new culinary experiences... Peposo?! You can't live without it anymore.

30/01/2026: The owner is incredibly kind, the food is delicious, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Highly recommended. We'll be back!

27/01/2026: Nice, rustic and welcoming location, average food...unsatisfactory service

20/03/2026: The owner is very kind, the potato tortelli are really good, and you can find everything you need. If you want to try something unique and delicious, Berti is the place for you. I highly recommend it.

14/01/2026: Excellent cheeses, especially the mature ones.

02/03/2026: Warning don't consume RAW sausage

21/02/2026: The atmosphere is rustic and just as described. The schiacciata was plentiful and made with delicious ingredients. I didn't even have to wait in line to be served. They just need more places to eat. Affordable price for a schiacciata.

07/03/2026: Three days in Florence? That's the place to be. Spritz, spritz, spritz, a charcuterie board or salad, then spritz, spritz, and off to bed. I highly recommend coming in the evening, otherwise it's tough for sightseeing in the afternoon. More seriously: reasonable prices, very good food, very friendly service. The terrace is often packed, you have to wait, but it's worth it. I recommend it. And then... a little spritz before leaving, of course 😊

01/03/2026: Excellent place. Lapo, Caterina, and the entire staff are fabulous and always kind and helpful. The food is excellent and the place is very pleasant!

14/01/2026: "This cafe is a total gem 💎, and the vibes are super chill 😎. Perfect spot to get your caffeine fix ☕️. Loving it!"

21/10/2025: Excellent food and drinks, friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere, absolutely worth a try.
