I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Firenze

11/09/2025: Unfortunately, I can't understand the rave reviews here. The service was friendly and attentive, the location directly behind the cathedral is fantastic—all of that is certainly true, but the food was mediocre at best and therefore, unfortunately, ridiculously overpriced. The appetizer—baked pecorino on pear—arrived after just a few minutes, so it was clear it was served fresh from the microwave. Based on the description "Fried pecorino cheese on pear crudité," one might have expected something more unusual than what we're used to serving as baked Camembert or Emmental. The "pear crudité" was simply sliced, rock-hard pieces of pear. All of this was slapped together on a plate with relative ease. I then had the branzino fillet, which was described as "oven-brown fillet of seabass with celeriac purée and parsley drops." In any case, you can't accuse the restaurant of misleading labels – there was a very tender piece of branzino, with a bit of puree underneath and the "drops" of parsley pesto in homeopathic doses. It could have been really good – the fish was tender and cooked to perfection – but unfortunately, the chef must not be in love, because everything lacked seasoning. So, it's okay; you can eat it, but I expect more flavor from high-quality cuisine. The pasta my wife ate was also bland and the kind that leaves you wanting less with every bite. I'm giving it three stars for the tender fish fillet, which showed what could have been done, and for a well-stocked wine list, but I can't really recommend a visit to Il Caminetto.

11/09/2025: The food was fantastic, the service was amazing. Everything was perfect. A truly perfect place

05/07/2025: Amazing chocolate cake, very friendly people and good coffee!

21/07/2025: We stopped along the road and saw this restaurant that looks a bit retro! Well, I have to say we really enjoyed the quick and fast service. The portions were definitely a bit over the top, but they were uniquely delicious. The first course was potato tortelli with ragù and homemade fettuccine with porcini mushrooms. For the second course, we had a fabulous 1300g steak, fried artichokes, and chips. Dessert, wine, water, and coffee were all included. It's really true that to rediscover old habits, you have to leave the city and find these authentic places, still with families cooking and children taking orders. Thank you, Mrs. Iolanda, I hope your restaurant always stays like this!

20/07/2025: Ospitalità, cordialità e accoglienza d’altri tempi, una tappa vivamente raccomandata se siete in zona. Un tuffo nel passato!

20/09/2025: Wonderful Italian restaurant with really good pizza. On Friday evenings, from around 8 PM onwards, it's packed with Italians.

03/09/2025: We all had a very full meal and enjoyed the atmosphere. There was a wide variety of dishes, the atmosphere was great, and the service staff was very polite. The hostess was very welcoming ❤️

05/09/2025: Friendly staff...nice, welcoming and clean place.

30/08/2025: I recommend Panoramic club: good food, impeccable service, welcoming place and in short, you have to go there

05/09/2025: Everything was perfect! Amazing glutenfree pizza too!

14/06/2025: Très bon restaurant dans le centre de Florence, nous y avons très bien mangé et l'accueil était très sympathique. Le prix demandé est honnête vu la qualité des plats.

14/06/2025: An authentic Florentine experience: not to be missed! We went to Osteria dell’Oca and we left enthusiastically! The appetizer started with a bang: off-menu zucchini flowers, fried to perfection with a light and crunchy batter, simply delicious. Next, the pici cacio e pepe: creamy, tasty, perfectly cooked. For the second course we couldn’t help but try the tagliata: very tender, cooked to perfection, with a strong but balanced flavor. The real star, however, was the prisoner’s dish — lampredotto, boiled tripe and tongue — a truly mystical experience for the palate. Authentic and intense flavors, a dive into the most genuine Florentine tradition. All accompanied by two excellent glasses of Chianti that enhanced each course. A special applause goes to the manager: a true host from another era, welcoming, warm, who makes you feel at home from the first moment. Really exceptional quality/price ratio. A place where you eat well, feel good and come back willingly.

25/07/2025: If you love meat, this is a must-visit. Make sure you're hungry.

24/07/2025: A must-visit if you like local butchers and are in Tuscany. This is the most notable butcher in Italy.

07/09/2025: My girlfriend and I have road tripped across multiple cities in Italy and this restaurant was truly a highlight we remember fondly. Our first experience was so good, we had to come back a second day during our stay in Certaldo to eat here again. The food was well thought out, fast, and culinarily excellent. Both times we were served by Giovanni, the most remarkable waiter with the right mix of knowledge, humor and hospitality. If the food wasn’t enough reason, he made the whole experience an 11/10. We could not recommend this place enough. Anytime we’re in Tuscany, we WILL make the detour to have another meal here- and so should you. Ps. Please ask for Giovanni and give him our regards, you will not regret it.

06/09/2025: A beautifully situated restaurant with excellent food and incredibly friendly service. We arrived on a Saturday evening without a reservation and were lucky that a couple hadn't shown up, so we got the best table at the edge of the terrace overlooking the lower town. The aperitifs, wines, and dishes—everything was perfect. We'll definitely be back. The prices are reasonable, not exorbitantly high.

08/09/2025: The appetizer, sliced ​​steak and side dishes were top notch, especially since I only managed to eat that.

07/09/2025: Excellent, well-run place. Few dishes but excellent quality. Fair prices. Highly recommended.

14/09/2025: The food was absolutely delicious! A truly fantastic location, with views over the city. The road to get there and the parking lot are less pleasant.

10/08/2025: With its view of Florence and cool outdoor dining area, the location alone would be enough to make an evening special, but the kindness of the staff and the excellent food will make it even more special. A beautiful place and highly recommended!

15/09/2025: Very good food, took one star off because they do not serve real coffee, but Nespresso. Personnel not very friendly, they sometimes ignore you. We did come back because the food really is very good and the have a cosy little terrace on the street.

04/08/2025: Very good and cheaper than other places. Nice service and decoration. 👍

26/08/2025: Traditional gelato ! Recommended !

25/08/2025: The place is great, very good prices and the variety and flavor are incredible.

21/09/2025: Delicious peposo with polenta and the best tiramisu :) very creamy and thick. Perfect :) The service was outstanding, and the limoncello was a perfect ending ❤️

21/09/2025: Delicious. We were looking for pasta (caboranara and pomodoro) and found it. 100% recommended, and the service was 10/10, very friendly.

27/08/2025: Best schiacciata fiorentina. Very kind and friendly people.

26/08/2025: Excellent freshly made sandwiches, very filling, but you'll be happy to eat it all! Highly recommended for a quick bite while exploring the city.
