I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Firenze

03/10/2025: The servers, Med and Toant, were very friendly. The Rome one was too salty, and the Florence one was too bland, but the seasoning was just right. After three days of eating only Florentine steak, I got bored and ordered the sirloin fillet, and it was the best experience I've ever had. For wine, just order the B.D.M. It's perfect. If you're hungry, just ask for a full menu and they'll give it to you.

14/09/2025: I have to start by saying, get the leek flan!!! This was one of the best dishes I’ve ever experienced and tasted. It was phenomenal and full of leeks, butter, truffle, and all the other goodness. The limoncello and aperol spritz were delicious. Service was attentive and friendly and they even ended our meal with a limoncello shot on the house. We sat outside on the patio for a table of 2 and it was situated amongst a street perfect for people watching. I ordered the ribollita soup & my partner and I split the steak with porcini mushrooms. Highly recommend!

20/10/2025: We arrived at the restaurant on Sunday with a reservation made a week in advance, and given the 1,600 reviews, we went in without a doubt, though without reading them. So, for what we ate, we certainly spent a lot, but that wouldn't have been a problem if it weren't for all the mistakes made by the inattentive, almost improvised service, as well as at checkout, which, due to the errors and wait times alone, could have been offset by 0.42 cents from the separate bills.

19/10/2025: Stopped on the road. Good parking. Had a pork fillet with mashed potatoes and a glass of red. Great food. Fresh wv and otherwise cozy atmosphere both in the garden and inside.

14/10/2025: ✨ Al Tranvai – A Hidden Gem in Florence We first discovered Al Tranvai completely by accident during our first visit to Florence. We had planned to dine at a nearby restaurant that turned out to have an impossibly long wait, and my husband — taking charge of his wife’s hanger emergency — stumbled into Al Tranvai instead. The restaurant was cozy and bustling, but managed to seat us without too much of a wait. We sat outside, close to neighboring tables filled mostly with locals. Two Italian gentlemen at the next table struck up a conversation with us, and we soon learned that one of them was a chef at another nearby restaurant. That was our first clue that we had landed somewhere special. They were so gracious, helping us navigate the handwritten Italian menu and even sharing some of their dishes with us. We bravely sampled a local specialty — kidneys — not quite to our taste, but when in Rome (or Florence!), right? My husband and I shared a few Tuscan classics: ribollita (a hearty white bean and bread soup with vegetables), arrabbiata linguine, and peposo, a slow-braised beef with black pepper and red wine. Each dish was simple yet full of soul — proof that great food doesn’t need to be complicated. We decided to secretly pay for our new friends’ meal along with ours. When they found out, they surprised us in return with a bottle of their favorite wine to take home — a gesture we’ll never forget. It was a truly magical evening. A year later, we were lucky enough to return to Florence. I chose Al Tranvai as the place to meet my Italian cousin for the very first time. The restaurant was just as warm and charming as we remembered, and the meal just as wonderful. I hope we can keep coming back to recreate the incredible memories we’ve made here.

12/10/2025: Excellent food, Nice staff and short waiting and very authentic restaurant. Can only recommend

04/11/2025: Fantastic experience at O ​​Vesuvio pizzeria in Florence! The welcome was warm, the pizzas were excellent, and the service was top-notch. A huge thank you to Dali for his kindness and professionalism—we'll definitely be back! 🍕🇮🇹

31/10/2025: Delicious pizza! Would go again. Be prepared to get charged a €2 service fee unless you have cash. With a pizza and lemon tea, I paid €15.80 in total.

06/10/2025: It's a quiet, friendly, and delicious cafe.

05/10/2025: I was a little disappointed with the coffee in Florence, unusual for Italy, maybe the abbundance of tourists has allowed standards to slip but, not here. A proper, old fashioned, hidden gem of a coffee house. Great cappuccino, strong flavour and well steamed milk. Along with a little pastry, a nice, relaxed start to the day.

09/08/2025: Had a great evening there. Food was amazing, as well as the service. Quite a fair price for the quality and a surprising mix of Tuscan cuisine, rounded of with amazing Asian dishes. Seems that the cook offers only his or her favorites and doesn’t follow any dogmas. In a group of eight everyone found something they wanted and liked. Really super nice.

03/08/2025: Delicious food! Lots of variety and super flavor!

19/09/2025: A good place to eat Good service, the waiters were very attentive and friendly Maybe a little pricey, but not too much

16/09/2025: I think it's one of the most beautiful places in Florence. The atmosphere is very pleasant, the pizza is unbeatable, 😋 It gives me the same feeling as the one I ate in Naples, it's so good. Only the first course was too al dente for my personal taste, but that's how they eat in Naples. Despite everything, I highly recommend the squid ink calamarata with calamari and yellow cherry tomatoes. The spaghetti carbonara frittatina, which is an appetizer, is truly a symphony of deliciousness: on the outside it looks like a giant croquette, while on the inside it's the discovery of carbonara, beautifully flavorful and slightly creamy. To finish a dinner on a high note, you need dessert: the babamisu (a tiramisu with baba soaked in coffee liqueur instead of ladyfingers) made my husband very happy; with Lulù, which is a giant cream puff filled with whipped cream flavored with limoncello, I discovered a dessert I hadn't heard of. I've been a pastry chef for over 10 years. Excellent combination. Courteous staff, some smiling, and short wait times. I recommend going there, especially if you need to impress a girl. The wisteria-covered gate is very pretty, and there's a small pergola decorated with fake plants that really make a statement. We even had candlelight dinner. We really enjoyed it. Reservations are recommended for these two spots in the restaurant. There's actually plenty of seating, and the space is spacious. If you don't have any special needs, I think you can find a spot.

03/11/2025: Very good food and welcoming staff.

01/11/2025: Superb! The meat is fresh and tasty, straight from the barn!

11/08/2025: An osteria with no pretensions other than serving hearty, delicious dishes. The terrace is pleasant, and the service is efficient and friendly. The owner comes to greet you personally, as if he's always known you.

26/07/2025: Arriving in Certaldo we fell in love with this place. Perfect service and delicious food. They put love into their work

28/09/2025: Very good food, the owner was friendly and helpful.

27/08/2025: Closing time 2.30pm, I enter at 2.05pm and they tell me it was closed

10/10/2025: I enjoy their pastries and fresh orange juice!! More pricey than I wanted to pay but lowkey worth it.

09/10/2025: Highly recommended!!! Excellent! Everything was delicious!! The comfortable atmosphere and, above all, the kindness and smile of the lady at the bakery counter really struck me!! I'll be back as soon as I'm in the area!! Congratulations!!!

27/09/2025: The lampredotto was truly delicious! It was cooked so well, I even ordered another one. The owner, just listening to his anecdotes and his honesty, deserves five stars!

25/09/2025: Delicious food, and the owner/cook was extremely nice and pleasant to chat with.

12/09/2025: Very good pizza. Very friendly service!

09/08/2025: If you love authentic Neapolitan cuisine, Gli Scugnizzi in Castelfiorentino is a must-see. Here, you'll experience the warm atmosphere of the South, with dishes that tell stories of tradition and passion. The pasta and potatoes with provola is a masterpiece of comfort food: creamy, fragrant, and rich in flavor, just like it's eaten in the alleys of Naples. Also not to be missed is the fried anchovy cuoppo, fragrant and golden, with a taste of the sea and authenticity. And to finish on a sweet note, the Neapolitan pastries here are simply superb: sfogliatelle, babà, and pastiere that seem to have come straight from the best Neapolitan pastry shops. A restaurant that combines authenticity, quality, and hospitality, making every visit a memorable experience.

05/10/2025: Simply amazing! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, the fish is very fresh and delicious! I tried the sea urchin risotto, truly delicious! The quality/price ratio is right; I highly recommend it!

18/09/2025: It could do better...but not bad...

21/10/2025: Probably the best pizza I’ve had in Italy. Most pizza I’ve had has been bland but this one was very flavorful. We got Margherita and Pesto pizzas. The Margherita was much better, the pesto was too heavy. I recommend takeaway instead of dining in. They have a high cover charge which is annoying considering the waiter only came to our table twice-to take our order and bring the food-so not sure what kind of service I’m paying for. They also prepare the pizza a lot faster for takeaway.
