I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Firenze

20/05/2026: EDIT: This was my favourite lunch place in Florence! Budget-friendly, with local, fresh, and tasteful food. However, the last time we were there, I tried to pay and their card machine was not working. They did not inform us about this beforehand and simply assumed we had cash. When we didn’t, they became very unfriendly and treated us like tourists trying to take advantage of the situation, as if we did not want to pay. They even wanted us to leave our passports as a collateral while we went to the ATM. Obviously, we were not comfortable giving away our passports in a foreign country. So we went to the ATM feeling very sad about the whole experience.

16/05/2026: Away from the tourists, and we love it! Run by several women, authentic Italian cuisine, fresh ingredients, reasonable prices, guaranteed pleasure and conviviality.

19/05/2026: Beautiful and cozy! Stunning and unique view! The famous and incredibly tender and flavorful Florentine steak, I've never seen anything like it, it melts in your mouth..., prepared and served by the dear @serginhoroncaratti and @reroncaratti. Steak of origin matured by @dariocecchinimacellaio Dario Cechini, the most famous butcher in the world! 🇧🇷🇮🇹❤️ An unparalleled gastronomic experience!! In fact, everything at Il Vescovino is too good, starting with the affection of the Roncarati family!! I 1000% recommend a visit, in the heart of Tuscany, in a 1000-year-old village, a wonderful place and excellent service by this Brazilian family that is a success in beautiful Tuscany!

09/06/2026: Great experience, very good typical Florentine food. We ate a wonderful Bistecca Fiorentina and the service was very welcoming. I recommend it to everyone.

24/05/2026: After the tour of the Giotto's Bell Tower and surrounding city center area, our tour director said any of our group could follow her to her favorite restaurant during the "free time" in Florence. We did, and glad we did. The restaurant is right by the market area and their pizza's were fantastic. The waitresses were very attendant and took care to make sure we were satisfied. I had my 24th Cappuccino of this 31 day trans-Atlantic cruise and still 6 more to go! Thanks to them if they read this review!

20/05/2026: So much publicity for scarpaccia salami, even though there are better ones around.

30/05/2026: Bad service. Nice view, though—that’s the one and only upside of this establishment

30/05/2026: Very nice, pleasant atmosphere, very good food - would love to come again!

07/06/2026: We booked a table for five for dinner. The restaurant was welcoming and clean. Two kind and smiling young women welcomed us, along with the equally kind owner, who helped us choose our dishes. Among other things, we enjoyed fettuccine with truffles, tortellicci with ricotta, Florentine meatballs, and peposo all'imprunetina, all of which were amazing. You could sense the care and love for their work. Super!

06/06/2026: Great service Delicious food (recommend meat balls) Fair prices

12/06/2026: On my trip to Florence, I'd say this restaurant was my favorite. The pasta was incredibly good, spectacular. The dessert was also amazing; the tiramisu was a 10/10. My only complaint was the waiter who showed me to my table. He wasn't very friendly, but the food was so good that in the end, I didn't care whether he was nice or not.

06/06/2026: Low-fat, crispy pizza that doesn't disappoint, highly recommended! I hadn't been back in years, perhaps because of the natural skepticism I have for places "too central," but I had to change my mind and really enjoyed it. We tried two simple pizzas, a Margherita and a salami, and they were truly delicious. Low-fat, crispy, and flavorful... ideal for those seeking this style and preferring to avoid the overly pronounced crusts found at other pizzerias in the city center. The space is spacious, so you can hear a bit of conversation, but the tables with high-backed wooden benches create niches, giving you a bit of privacy; it's comfortable. Special mention goes to the staff. The staff is friendly, approachable, and well-organized. The welcome is warm and friendly. Peering around the nearby tables, I saw some truly inviting fresh pasta dishes (made in-house)—a great alternative for those who prefer traditional cuisine. The tiramisu also seems to be a sure thing: a great reason to come back. Would I recommend it? Absolutely. It's a solid, no-frills choice. If you're downtown and want to play it safe and eat a good pizza without feeling like a tourist who needs ripping off, this is the place to be. I personally will be back.

31/05/2026: We went for a wedding and we had a great time.

17/05/2026: Delicious food, friendly waiters, fabulous location!!

20/05/2026: Wonderful restaurant! Very nice staff, great wine, great atmosphere, very quaint and cute, and most importantly the best pasta I’ve ever had!

20/05/2026: Great authentic food. I had the Cuvee, the Melanzane and the Cantucci for dessert, delish! Great service!

02/06/2026: Super Florentine with helpful and clear service to guide you to a complete experience! Great!

31/05/2026: Excellent experience and ambience clouded by bad attitude. Strolling the side streets and minor avenues may often bring positive surprises. This will be one of them. An indeed nice spot away from the hustle and busy tourist tracks. Food is excellently well prepared. Not too much. Not too sparse. (Tosta crudo, risotto, formaggi) Served at the exact moment you are ready for it. Comprehensive - and impressive - winelist. So why just two stars for the ambience? Well this quiet evening, the owner (apparently) decided to be seated outside at the other table next to me. - He was noisy. Mainly on his phone. Watching late night shows while having his meal. Making phone calls. Informally having the staff at his table. Fine. OK. But smoking made it for me. I’d love to come back. Also with friends and family. With great pleasure. However this attitude needs to be adjusted.

19/05/2026: This restaurant is a must if you are traveling to Firenze! They have a wonderful decor, heritage building and the dishes are succulent. You will find various traditional dishes and their primi are to die for. Especially the poached egg and the carpaccio. The Angus is very well cooked and they have great sides. Their crème brûlée was the best I have ever had in Italy. The atmosphere is pleasant and great for a friendly dinner. I highly recommend Cucina Torcicoda.

16/05/2026: A truly special dinner. The cuisine won us over from start to finish, with carefully prepared dishes full of character. A special thanks to Cristina, who guided us through our selection of dishes with great professionalism, attention, and kindness. The atmosphere was warm, intimate, and welcoming. A place you'll want to return to. See you soon ✨

28/05/2026: Delicious food! The menu is small which means the quality is very good, and it was! I had the Tagliato di manzo and it was fantastic! 😍 I highly recommend coming to this restaurant!
