I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Firenze

18/03/2026: Amazing food, amazing service - I can’t recommend this enough. We always like to try different restaurants, but we will definitely e returning here

29/01/2026: Staying at the adjacent hotel and I grabbed lunch before getting on the road. The BEST fresh spaghetti I have ever had. Attentive staff and charming decor. A bit off the beaten path if you’re a tourist, but walk the extra 20 minutes please.

12/03/2026: Two rolls arrived cold but equally delicious

11/03/2026: Hands down, the best kebab in Florence, or at least second to very few. Il Faraone puts his heart into what he does, and it shows. "Made very well, guaranteed!"

07/09/2025: We found it by chance on our way back from a weekend in Orvieto. We ordered the mixed crostini, tagliatelle with rabbit ragù and crème brulee. The food was homemade and delicious, and I'd definitely return. The service was neither excellent nor infamous.

06/09/2025: It's a great idea to get off the highway and eat here instead of at a rest stop. It's a small place, but perfect for a quick stop and some typical dishes without breaking the bank.

15/02/2026: A true marvel! Amazing place, amazing food and drinks, and incredibly friendly staff.

14/10/2025: A phenomenal venue, with a relentless nastiness underneath, at least on weekends. The stage is impressive, and the inside is even better. The guys are truly brilliant. The only drawback is the price. But maybe we were the ones asking for too much.

22/03/2026: Good value for money, definitely worth a try

18/03/2026: I usually come to this restaurant for fish. Personally, I think it's the best in the area. The mixed antipasto is noteworthy. The wine list is well-structured. Last time, I also tried an excellent rum paired with dark chocolate.

16/02/2026: Pietro is a fantastic person, the dinner was special, the meat melted in your mouth, the friendliness was unique, the place was wonderful... ❤️

16/02/2026: A wonderful place from another era, everything perfectly simple and authentic! Friendly and simple, it feels like going to a relative's house for lunch. They're so good! I always return for business trips!

01/12/2025: I still don't understand why they give everyone three cones outside of Bologna. The ice cream is mediocre, not creamy, too sugary, and the quantities in the cup are clearly wrong.

16/03/2026: Amazing pizza, risotto and beer. The server was lovely.

20/01/2026: Very good meat and pizza! Fair prices!

08/03/2026: Typical Italian dishes, very good wine from the owner. Very affordable taxis.

04/03/2026: Yesterday, I took a friend from China to eat their Florentine steak, building on my positive experience in February, when I was truly satisfied with the quality of the meat. Unfortunately, yesterday's experience was completely different. We ordered a Florentine steak at €70 per kilo, for a total of 1.4 kg. Trusting the restaurant, I didn't check the meat carefully when it was presented. Once served, however, I found myself faced with a steak with an excessive and unacceptable amount of fat: about a third of the total weight. This means that of the 1.4 kg paid at full price, about 0.4 kg was practically nothing but fat. At €70 per kilo, this is simply unjustifiable. The dessert offered by the waiter as "compensation" doesn't change the essence of the problem. Once I got home, I compared the photos of the real Florentine steak I'd eaten at the same restaurant in February with the one I'd eaten yesterday. It's clear that the steak served yesterday wasn't a real Florentine steak. Therefore, it should never have been sold at €70 per kilo. Furthermore, I strongly suspect that the meat shown before cooking wasn't the same as the one actually served at the table, because it looked different and didn't have that disproportionate amount of fat. In summary: 1. I believe the meat shown and the meat served were not the same. 2. The steak I ate yesterday wasn't a real Florentine steak, and the price charged was, in my opinion, unfair. A deeply disappointing experience, especially considering the trust I had placed in this restaurant. Additional comments The reason this experience disappointed me so deeply is precisely the trust I had in you. In February, I ate an excellent Florentine steak there, which left me completely satisfied. It was that positive experience that convinced me to return and bring a friend from China with me. Precisely because of this trust, when the steak was shown to me before cooking, I didn't feel the need to carefully analyze it. I relied on the quality I had already experienced. Once served, however, the amount of fat seemed excessive, about a third of the total weight in 1.4 kg at €70 per kilo. At this price, I expect a decent balance of meat and fat. The real disappointment came once I got home. Comparing the photographs of the Fiorentina I ate in February with the one served yesterday, the difference was clear. The cut, the meat-to-fat ratio, and the overall appearance were not the same. And this is precisely what I can't understand: why do two steaks sold as "Bistecca alla Fiorentina" in the same restaurant appear so different in quality and characteristics? In my experience, the one I ate in February represents what I consider a true Fiorentina, while the one served yesterday wasn't up to par. My disappointment isn't born out of controversy, but rather from the disappointment of seeing quality that doesn't match the asking price and the previous experience that had made me return with confidence. I share this reflection with respect, but also with sincerity.

01/03/2026: Luca, Massimiliano, and the staff were excellent and friendly. The platter of excellent cured meats and generous portions. Highly recommended.

09/11/2025: It's always nice to return to Cacciatore to eat a good pizza in front of the fireplace

06/01/2026: As a wedding planner, I had the pleasure of working at Dimora Palagena, an incredible venue just a few minutes from Florence. It is a truly dynamic location, perfect for hosting a full three-day wedding experience in different settings: from a welcome event in the vineyard, to the wedding celebration at the main estate, and a relaxed pool party on the final day. The food is exceptional, with great attention to quality and presentation, and the team is also highly experienced in providing menus suitable for kosher weddings. A special thank you goes to Elia, the manager, who is an extraordinary professional and a wonderful person—his constant support, availability, and attention made the entire planning process smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend Dimora Palagena to couples looking for a versatile, elegant, and unforgettable wedding experience near Florence.

31/12/2025: Incredibly rude front desk staff! They should not be in hospitality. I left my room key in the room and went to my friends room next door with the door open but a strong wind came to blow my door shut and I was locked out. I asked the front desk staff for help the man was angry and frustrated and scolded me for locking myself out and now he has to dig through the drawers to find the right key... It was a huge inconvenience to him... This completely ruined my stay..

12/02/2026: DISAPPOINTING EXPERIENCE IN A FIVE-STAR PROPERTY I wasn't staying at the hotel, but I had booked afternoon tea over the phone a week in advance to celebrate my twenty-fifth birthday with my best friend. The staff was extremely courteous when I called and confirmed the reservation without any problems. For this reason, it was surprising and disappointing to discover, upon arrival, that my name wasn't on the list. Having arrived early, accompanied by my photographer, I simply wanted to take some professional photos (without flash) in the splendid setting of the lobby before the reservation time. Initially, we weren't told anything, but shortly thereafter, we were practically prevented from continuing for alleged "privacy" reasons. I understand the concern for guests, but we're talking about spaces like the lobby and bar, which remain reception areas open to the public. Subsequently, I was approached again to verify the name on the reservation, which, as already mentioned, was not listed. Only when my friend arrived were we finally escorted to our table. The service was also quite slow: we had to wait a long time before we could order, and only after asking several times were we finally acknowledged. The afternoon tea itself was pleasant, as was the location, undeniably gorgeous and elegant. However, the overall experience was compromised by the staff's attitude, which was perceived as overly rigid and inattentive, especially considering it was a special occasion. A five-star hotel should stand out not only for the beauty of its facilities, but also for the attention and care given to all guests, not just regular guests. It's a shame, because the location is extraordinary, but the experience didn't live up to expectations.

13/01/2026: High-level service. After all, we're at the Four Seasons in Florence. Be warned, it's not exactly in the center. You have to walk 20 minutes. The atmosphere is very beautiful, with a spectacular covered quadrilateral, but it's geared toward an international clientele and a bit cramped.

01/03/2026: Always kind and helpful. Excellent service and food. Recommended!

27/02/2026: Every day in Florence I stopped by here for a very delicious cappuccino and croissant. Great little corner shop and amazing service.

18/07/2025: Piatti ben cucinati, girando molto per lavoro abbiamo provato vari ristoranti ed anche vari tortelli di patate, questi i migliori, pasta sottile, abbondante e saporito ripieno, ottimo anche il coniglio ripieno, le patate arrosto, e latte alla portoghese da 10. Qualità prezzo ottima.

29/06/2025: Tutto super ottimo!!! Cibo abbondante e camerieri super gentilissimi Peccato facesse un po troppo caldo nella veranda

08/03/2026: A must visit location in Firenze. Reservation and proper outfit required Michelin star restaurant, authentic decoration, great bar area, music that surrounds you and makes you dance…

07/03/2026: A little confusing with walking in and almost a unwelcoming experience. First round of drinks took a while. Our server didn’t know the quantity for spirits. But she was super attentive and also the one that pointed out that drinks shouldn’t take this long. Free popcorn was awesome. They put us in. Side room with no vibe and it felt like being put in detention. 50th not in my book. But hey what do I know. Good place and if the hostess steps up it would be great. Didn’t eat because I had du QR code the menu and of course WiFi was free
