I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiananella città Empoli della Firenze

18/08/2025: An unforgettable experience in the heart of Tuscan hinterland. An enchanting location, meticulously crafted, with an authentic and relaxing atmosphere. The food? A true celebration of local flavors, presented with taste and passion. Impeccable service, friendly and welcoming owner and waiters. I'll definitely be back!

15/08/2025: When we arrived, we were greeted by waiters, all male, very kind and attentive. We were seated outside in the garden among the olive trees and other trees. The atmosphere was wonderful, with lights that weren't too bright, but not so low that they risked blocking your view. Great background music, reminiscent of old movies, was just the right volume to allow you to talk without shouting. The temperature was cool compared to the heat these days. I must say the evening was pleasant. Despite there being several tables, no one was shouting, allowing you to talk. We toasted with a nice Prosecco, but you could also have a classic aperitivo. It's a shame the accompanying chips were soaked in oil. I ordered the mixed seafood for two and the risotto, and that's when the trouble began. The mixed seafood was rather bland, well presented, but let's just say it didn't leave a good impression. The risotto was unclassifiable. I don't know what type of grain they used, but some were overcooked and others completely raw. It tasted like a fish broth made with shellfish, with a slight bitter aftertaste. There were plenty of pieces of shellfish and chopped pistachios, but alas, their flavor was overpowered by the broth, which also served as an aroma. We had asked for a profiterole, since it was a birthday dinner, filled with cream, but it arrived filled with cream. Luckily, it was still good and didn't taste like something from a sachet. The others had grilled fish, which was more shellfish-based, good but not epic, and rabbit was good but not exceptional. The mushroom crepes were appreciated, while the Mazzara prawns on spring vegetables were a prawn on bean sprouts that weren't very fresh. Water, wine, and a cover charge completed the meal. All this for the "modest" price of €240. Also, based on the reviews, I was expecting pizza, but there was none. Again, I'd give it 7 stars for the atmosphere and staff, but the food, in my humble opinion, needs a major overhaul.

04/07/2025: Good service; well-prepared dishes at a reasonable price. Excellent quality. Must try!

01/07/2025: Welcoming, well-kept and above all tasty! I can only say good things about this place! Excellent presentation of the dishes, the staff and honest quality-price. We will definitely be back and I highly recommend it to everyone 😋

10/08/2025: COMPLETELY NOT RECOMMENDED!: TO BE AVOIDED TOTALLY! There were 9 of us for dinner, with 2 second courses of first courses ordered and it was only enough for half of us forced to have only small tastings, for the second course we ordered: a mixed grill equally INSUFFICIENT MINIMUM with 2 sausages, with a few pieces of steak, small pieces of rosticciane only bone, a small cockerel divided into 4 dry pieces that seemed to be from a few days ago, fried courgette flowers full of oil and French fries similar to the crisps in a bag for appetizers, in any case SORRY BOTH FOR THE VERY HIGH PRICE AND FOR THE BAD IMPRESSION TOWARDS THE GUESTS. STRONGLY NOT RECOMMENDED!!!

11/07/2025: Excellent quality of hamburgers

26/06/2025: The staff is very friendly and the food is very good

02/08/2025: Arriving late at our vacation spot and a bit tired from the trip, we followed our host's advice and went to dinner at Gli Scugnizzi. We sat on the terrace and ate really well (and in abundance)! The mixed fried fish was tasty, and my son loved the dessert: a cassatina, which he'd never tried before. The welcome was warm, the atmosphere relaxed, and the price reasonable. A good choice for a good dinner!

29/07/2025: We were referred here by a kind gentleman (owner?) from Zimbo Osteria Pizzeria on a Sunday afternoon after driving to several different pizzerias. Pizzas were not available at Zimbo on Sundays but their seafood smelled delicious as we were leaving. The food at Gil Scugnizzi (Margherita pizza, Stracciatella pizza, 4 Stagioni pizza, & linguine ai frutti di mare) was one of the best we’ve eaten on our short trip to Italy. The service was fantastic with a smile and the bright and cheery atmosphere was welcoming. We would love to come back.

01/08/2025: Very nice place, excellent and unique food. The manager is top-notch, as are the girls in the dining room. Highly recommended.

30/07/2025: If you like grilled meat, this is a must. As soon as you enter, you can see the open fire where they're grilling the meat. We sat outside in the backyard/patio. We arrived around 7:45 PM and didn't have a reservation. If you arrive after 8:00 PM, you might need to. My wife had an entrecote and I had a mixed grill. They were beautifully prepared, highly recommended.

20/08/2025: Historic Empoli pastry shop of good quality, usually very crowded

19/08/2025: Everything was delicious, but I'll stop going there because the staff was TOO rude. A few times I've forgotten or purposely refused to buy cigarettes because the cashier's hasty manners make me anxious, and in about a year and a half I've never, and I repeat, NEVER, seen a smile.

01/06/2025: The waiters are extra kind; The dishes are tasty and plentiful; The environment is welcoming and meticulously clean. Top

13/07/2025: Sono stato a cena con la famiglia per il battesimo di mia figlia.Personale molto gentile e molto disponibile. Cibo anche per celiaci. Posto top, come essere a casa.

13/07/2025: Giusta via di mezzo tra le ville con ristorante della zona e le trattorie navigate con piatti locali di sicuro effetto dei dintorni di Empoli. Conduzione familiare e servizio puntuale. Menù che non riesce a elevarsi, ingredienti sicuramente di prima mano, cacciagione soprattutto; la base è molto buona, confido nelle nuove leve!! Augurio di proseguimento verso il 🔝
