I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Firenze

09/08/2025: Going to start by saying the food was very good, my compliments to the chef. However the service and experience was TERRIBLE. I'm not sure if the chef was having a bad day or not but he was being a little arrogant and standoffish. The guy looked depressed and upset the entire time too. Our first experience at a place like this, and it was ruined by a bad attitude. Not just us, others too.

05/08/2025: We visited Zeb about a week ago, curious to try the dishes many have spoken positively about, despite reading some less-than-glowing comments about the chef. Unfortunately, our experience didn’t live up to the hype. That day, they were only accepting cash, which made things tricky. As a group, we were limited in what we could order since there are no nearby ATMs. Regarding the chef—many of the comments were accurate. His manner was surprisingly rude, and there seemed to be a stark difference in how he treated Italian-speaking guests compared to others. He profoundly apologised to italian guests for the cash inconvinience and explained in detail where to find the closest ATM. English speaking customers merely got told in a cold manner about it. When my partner asked which pasta was creamy, like a carbonara, he was laughed at in a condescending manner and asked if he saw carbonara in the menu...which is not what he meant at all. While I understand the chef has crafted this menu, the way it’s presented, with pressure to decide on the spot, makes it difficult to ask questions without feeling belittled. It definitely took away from the overall dining experience. While the chef was reading the menu, the waiter came to pour us some water. As the chef wants undivided attention, he stopped reading the menu and we all awkwardly watched this poor waiter shake while trying to pour 4 glasses of water. Only when finished, did the chef continue reading the menu. It was awful to watch. As for the food: of the three dishes we tried, only one stood out—the ravioli with pear. Unfortunately, the peposo was overwhelmingly peppery and unbalanced, and the rice-filled tomato was bland and underwhelming—something you’d expect from a basic home recipe or a generic restaurant. Disappointingly, the dishes we were most looking forward to, the lengua and tripe, weren’t available that day. Overall, the experience was disappointing—from the atmosphere to the food and service. Given the prices and michelin recommendation, we expected more warmth, flavour, and hospitality. I look forward to come back to Florence but never returning to Zeb. I don't think its worth ruining your day/night in the hope of trying some good food (which wasn't even the case for us). The atmosphere and terrible experience with the chef left us all feeling uneasy, unhappy and dissapointed.

27/06/2025: Fantastic ice cream shop!!! While I was out making deliveries in Tuscany, I came across this idyllic place. They have a lot of flavors that I really like, including Bronte pistachio, which is also the Tuscan one. After the first taste I immediately understood the level of the raw materials used. They also make fresh fruit and almond granitas. If you happen to be in these parts, it's worth stopping by and getting a nice refreshing ice cream. I'll be back so I can try the other flavors too. You're really good 😋😋

27/06/2025: I liked it, excellent ice cream, very creamy flavors, very good Tuscan pistachio. Average prices

19/08/2025: Aperitif with a view, well-stocked and plentiful, even for those arriving around 9 pm. Finger food, a first course, and a fruit skewer with dessert. Friendly and helpful staff. Recommended!

25/07/2025: A good aperitif for €20 on Tuesdays and Thursdays, with an all-you-can-eat buffet offering good food, a drink, and a small first course and dessert served by attentive staff. Excellent view of the dome, though a bit far away. We'll definitely return.

15/07/2025: Good food, very good value for money, amazing owner and atmosphere. Really enjoyed it.

27/05/2025: Knowing that we are not locals they brought us a spit of drink passed off as normal, when it was very obvious that it was not. They think they are being smart but by doing so they lose customers, in fact all the other evenings we spent elsewhere, they were happy

10/09/2025: We just stopped for coffee. Great coffee and service too!

07/09/2025: Yesterday at Caffè Rivoire, I overheard an argument between the cashier and a colleague: the manager treated him horribly, using a truly disrespectful tone. Hearing phrases like "you shouldn't ask questions, you should act" made me tense with annoyance. I understand that a €1.80 coffee in Piazza della Signoria (one of the most beautiful and important squares in the world) is justified by the location, but I would have expected at least a calm and welcoming atmosphere. There was an extremely tense atmosphere in the air. It's sad to note that even in 2025, there are places where the work environment is toxic and respect for others seems completely lacking.

15/07/2025: TOP kindness and courtesy! Delicious ice cream... highly recommended!

11/06/2025: Buon gelato, cordiali e gentili

13/08/2025: The reception was excellent, the girl was very kind! Perfect gluten-free pizza! Very good value for money, we had a great time. A delicious appetizer of cicciotti with mortadella and pistachio, two 50cm pizzas, a Margherita with stracciata and nduja, a red four-cheese pizza, and two bottles of water, €44! €22 per person for a perfect dinner.

08/07/2025: Very nice, and the food was good.

30/07/2025: Yesterday I tried the Fiaschetteria fish restaurant and it was an excellent experience. The owner was super friendly and easygoing, making the place feel familiar and welcoming even though it was my first time there. The place itself is small but extremely charming and elegant. Finally, the food was excellent. We had: Mussels marinara (superb and highly recommended) A shucked mussel from the Fiaschetteria (an excellent first course and also highly recommended) A scallop and zucchini risotto (good but perhaps a little lacking in salt) To finish, a fried fish dish, which I forgot to photograph (also very good and delicious). One of the restaurant's strengths, or at least some of the owner's unusual touches, was his willingness to share the two dishes himself, as soon as he realized the mussels and fried fish would be shared, obviously asking us when we ordered. We finished the meal with two glasses of wine and a water, bringing the total to €88 for two—a fair price for the dishes and the quality of the fresh fish, displayed in a specially insulated refrigerated unit. We left the restaurant feeling extremely satisfied and contented, and we'll definitely be back to relive this wonderful experience.

11/07/2025: deines Textes: Great food, lovely place, mostly visited by locals, excellent and extremely friendly service. Very authentic atmosphere. If there's anything to criticize, it's that it's not exactly cheap by Italian standards.

10/05/2025: Unfortunately it is closed at the moment!!

29/03/2025: Excellent coffee, compliments, very courteous barista

17/02/2025: Great service by Tadros ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

14/06/2025: I change my previous review positively. I find everything I'm looking for in the bakery. Hot breakfast pastries in the morning, soft, fragrant and full of seasoning. The savory ones are also excellent for a snack or a snack. Friendly and kind staff. Highly recommended bakery.

03/06/2025: The kind shopkeeper lady was a truly lovely person who made our first vacation in Italy unforgettable. Despite the language barrier, she went out of her way to help us with genuine warmth and kindness. As a sweet gesture, she even offered us a few cookies to make us feel welcome. Her hospitality set a beautiful tone for our entire trip, and we're deeply grateful for the encounter.

10/06/2025: Good prices, good service from the staff but the food was too rushed and not up to the standard of a restaurant

09/04/2025: Our first restaurant in Italy when we have just landed. Good value for money.

01/01/2025: Positive aspects: kindness of the staff, good quality first and appetizer Negative aspects: we didn't like the second courses. The wine either and we weren't even allowed to taste it. Uncomfortable sitting in front of the entrance door that kept opening, letting in cold air. Lastly, a frankly inexplicable €5 cover charge. Too bad, we won't be back

14/12/2024: Piccolo ristorante informale ma curato. Ottime le pietanze di pesce con servizio attento e discreto. Buon rapporto qualita’ prezzo
