Amazing food... friendly staff... definitely deserving of five stars!!…read more We passed by this gem on our way back to the AirBnB & decided to stop and have dinner. The restaurant is located just outside the central part of Florence, away from the hustle and bustle of tourism - which was a HUGE plus for me. I love to see where the locals hang out & this certainly felt like one of those places. I ordered the Vegetariana pizza and literally had to stop myself from eating the entire thing - it could probably feed 2 or 3, so order the pizzas accordingly! My friend ordered the spaghetti (recommended by the waiter) and totally cleaned his plate. It's safe to say that the food was absolutely delicious. The staff was attentive and friendly, checking on us frequently to ensure that everything tasted no less than perfect. Long story short, I will absolutely come here again when I'm back in Florence :)

Amazing pizza and great prices. Stumbled upon this place in the middle of the day, we did not know…read morethat they were closing soon until later, but they kindly sat us and took our orders. The speck e marscapone pizza was so delicious! The others we tried were just as fantastic that we might have to go back on this visit to Florence.

Was invited to a private event at this venue for an opera showcase…read more Located on the outskirts of Florence, this contemporary opera house stands out with its geometric building style. The place had tight security and smelled of new construction, but I was told all of that was for the private event. But its still under construction, because the original vision was to make it an arts complex with 3 stages. I was seated in the main opera house which seats 1800. The sound was excellent inside the venue. I could see this place becoming 5 stars, once the complex is finished being built.

I've been going to this opera house for years now and have enjoyed each visit. The entrance is very…read morenice walking into the opera. The building is still new and has a very nice walkway up to the entrance. Tr main auditorium is very large and can accompany a large audience. The sounds and lighting is very good for a performance or a speaker. I've seen both and thought I could hear and see even sitting from the back. The seats, which I think is important, are very comfortable :) once outside of the auditorium there are nice areas to walk through with nice pictures of fashionable and modern art. Bottom line...great place to watch a performance or hear a speaker. This opera is new just about 4 years old so expect a modern and comfortable experience with great seating, good lighting and great speakers so you can get a good show from any seat! Pros Modern and new auditorium with a grand entrance Very close to the city center and cascine Park Nice walkways full of modern and fashionable art Cons No major cons here but I would say there are other opera houses that have a nicer ambience
