I migliori ristorantinella città Bagno a ripoli della Firenze

26/10/2025: We should have known when we were the only 8 people in the restaurant, but alas, we did not head this warning sign. The chef came out to verbally offer several courses of food for our evening. No menus were given (our second red flag) but we also didn’t know how things were done, so we said yes. I did ask for options that were no meat, and no dairy, as we had people in our group with dietary restrictions. I spoke this in Italian even though his English was very good, and he acted as though he perfectly understood . But several courses of cheesy dishes and meat followed. Eventually at the end of the courses, some charred tasting vegetables came, and some mediocre potatoes. People in the group who ate all the food said none of it was very good. The lone wait staff was not friendly nor approachable. All this to say that at the end of it all, our bill was some 430 Euro, which the chef asked to be paid in cash. Like, what? We’re not just carrying that many Euro on our person. He did of course pull out the card reader and the bill was paid. Over paid rather. If you’re still here at the end after the rambling novel of this review, my strong advice is to steer very clear of this establishment. Unless you love eating bad food, feeling like and inconvenience, and being monetarily taken advantage of. Side note, the shop next door was a dream. We had gotten coffee there earlier in the day, and it was a most pleasant experience.

22/08/2025: I visited this restaurant with my husband and found the atmosphere very homey, simple yet welcoming. The appetizer of pappa al pomodoro fritters was truly delicious, a true delight. The main course, a fillet of beef served with potatoes, was very good: the meat was tender and well-cooked. We enjoyed the pici, although we would have preferred them with less pepper, as the flavor was a bit too intense. As for the desserts, however, our experience was less satisfying: they were a bit heavy, and we weren't convinced by the choice of serving them in a cup, which was awkward both for eating and for the waiter to carry. The service was courteous, with a friendly waiter, and the wait times were reasonable, neither too long nor too fast. Overall, it was a good experience, especially for those who appreciate authentic flavors in a rustic atmosphere. The desserts could be improved, but we'll definitely be back!
