I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Firenze

30/09/2025: Very good, professional, honest prices

22/07/2025: He's a wonderful, honest, and helpful person. My microwave knob broke. A repair shop charged me 70 euros for it. The guy from ATF found the knob for me for 2 euros. What can I say? Super honest! Thanks!

25/09/2025: Inside the monastic complex of Santa Maria Maddalena de' Pazzi, which I didn't see because it was closed for restoration, there is a chapel of extraordinary beauty... the Chapel of the Giglio-Neri. Indeed, walking along Via Borgo Pinti, an anonymous doorway hides a Renaissance-era atrium. From there, you enter a "cloister," a quadriportico in the Ionic style, which is not really a cloister (in fact, it doesn't lead to any room of the monastery)... in the background stands the Church of Santa Maria Maddalena de' Pazzi. The cloister was commissioned by Bartolomeo Scala and built by Giuliano da Sangallo in the late 15th century. To the right, in the atrium, is the entrance to the Chapel of Santa Maria del Giglio. The chapel was built during the same period as the cloister for devout women (they could enter the Church of Santa Maria Maddalena de' Pazzi only twice a year, for special celebrations) under the patronage of the Del Giglio family. Later, in 1598, it passed to Nereo Neri, and it is to him that we owe the frescoes by Bennardo Barbatelli, known as Bennardino Poccetti... approximately 400 square meters, painted immediately, starting in 1598. The pictorial cycle is based on three distinct groups. On the ceiling, the Coronation of Mary, surrounded by a jubilation of celebrating saints (in contrast to the style favored by the Counter-Reformation, which often depicted scenes of martyrdom). On the walls are the stories of Benedictine of Clairvaux, founder of the Cistercian Order, who settled here in 1442, and of Philip Neri, depicted here even before his canonization in 1622. Also on the walls, in the upper sections, is Charity, which, along with the other Virtues (Innocence, Purity, and Virginity), are a clear reference to the Virgin Mary. On the high altar is the altarpiece of Saints Achilleus and Nereus by Domenico Cresti, known as Passignano. Today, it is owned by the FEC - Fondo Edifici di Culto (Fund for Buildings of Worship), and the services are entrusted to the Augustinian Fathers of the Assumption. The visit, following a successful restoration funded by the Ministry of Culture, which took place between 2024 and 2025 in just 10 months, was made possible thanks to an initiative by the Superintendence of Fine Arts. Its staff organized guided tours of the construction site and then, once the work was completed, free of charge. This wonderful initiative has opened the doors to a "gem" otherwise hidden from most. For the sake of completeness, it should be noted that in this monastic complex, in the part now used as a school, the Liceo Michelangelo, and specifically in what was once the chapter house, there is a fresco by Perugino, the Crucifixion. Visits are only possible on certain occasions (see the MIC - Ministry of Culture website).

31/07/2025: This is closed due to renovations until end of 2026

22/07/2025: We went to the restaurant for dinner to celebrate with our families and ate a delicious pizza in a nice, cool setting with good service. A lovely place, we'd love to return to...

29/05/2025: How nice it is here! Silence, nature. An ideal place for those who do not like the bustle of the city and like to sleep in silence. And cute cats add a cozy atmosphere.

08/09/2025: A cool place to dine at anytime

12/07/2025: MeryAnna is a good restaurant serving simple, authentic dishes. We ordered an appetizer of cured meats and crostini. The cured meats were good and tasty, and perhaps they could have added a little more cheese. The first courses were very tasty and plentiful. The penne alla pecora and pici all'aglione were plentiful and very good. The service was attentive but not overwhelming. Overall, it was a good dining experience.

12/10/2025: The atmosphere is a bit noisy, but the food is very good. The pizza is thin and flaky, just the way I like it. Recommended.

01/08/2025: Good pizzeria, also available for takeaway

04/08/2025: I love this place! The "girls" are incredibly kind and knowledgeable, and the selection of books for both adults and children is truly amazing...and whatever's missing, they quickly find it! I've been coming to this bookstore all my life and will definitely continue to do so!

08/07/2025: With me, they were always punctual, kind, and helpful, all of them. Excellent!!!

12/10/2025: I had a pizza with sausage, broccoli, and mozzarella, without tomato sauce. It was very pleasant and easy to digest. Congratulations!

07/10/2025: We trusted based on previous reviews and we were wrong. The kitchen does not seem to be their strong point, we ate first courses based on fish, made to their imagination or according to what was available, never eaten such disappointing spaghetti with seafood. The waiter who acted stupid..

21/09/2025: Guys, what can I say? Excellent service, plenty of space between tables...so privacy guaranteed. Giuseppe is a person you'd be hard pressed to find elsewhere: always attentive, thoughtful, and helpful. Super prices and pampering service. The steak was sliced ​​with melted butter that melted in your mouth. The appetizers were made with local products, and it's hard not to notice that the cured meats are on a whole other level, given the non-delicatessen cut. The location and team are worth a visit. Thank you so much for the wonderful evening. Umberto and Raffaella's table was just the right one to be authentic and sincere.

07/09/2025: Traditional location, varied menu, medium-high prices, as everywhere else.

25/07/2025: I went for a coffee, he is incredibly hospitable and a nice person, his donuts are very good

05/04/2025: Everything was very good, quality raw materials, very informal and pleasant to be in company.

05/09/2025: We booked for Ferragosto, and we had a really good meal. The service was fast and friendly. I highly recommend it and we'll be back.

02/09/2025: We went to this place one day in August, nothing to say about the quality of the food, but a little scarce and the waiting time a little too long for a weekday.

13/10/2025: Extremely friendly staff, reasonable prices (workers' menu), and a clean environment. Highly recommended!

02/10/2025: Great for a business lunch. Fast and precise service. Excellent food. I recommend it.

22/06/2025: MY FAVORITE PLACE FOR LUNCH, WITH THE BEST SCHIACCIATA IN ITALY! They truly have amazing food, especially the schiacciata with tzatziki sauce. Anyways, I had a salad, roasted potatoes, schiacciata and tzatziki, and fresh juice. All really delicious. And the people were so nice.
