This place deserves beyond 5 stars.
Tip: make a reservation.
Everything served is perfect. Not only the main dishes (cauliflower soup, ravioli, duck, steak, etc.), but also the free house-made fresh bread (so so good!), the free appetizer, and the desserts! This place is all about local traditional ingredients and recipes with a slight modern twist and presentation. When you see a limited menu (I think only four items are under each category), you know it is a place that takes their items served seriously. I was told that they are starting a garden so will be serving salad from there in a few weeks, while the salad I had was already the best I had in my life - perfectly fresh and cut to maximize your enjoyment. I didn't drink but it seems that other guests enjoyed the wine pairing recommendations greatly.
Service is excellent. One of the co-owners runs the front of the house and speaks perfect English and will accommodate whatever you request may be to the best they can. In my case, they got a small piece of steak so I could enjoy a Fiorentina steak by myself. Given the way the food is prepared - such as pasta is made to order, there could be a wait in between dishes. Please be patient. Good food doesn't come fast.
Ambiance is nice as well. It is a small and intimate place with a lot of nice little details for decoration. Most guests are considerate enough to not talk too loudly so it is perfect for date nights as well.
I stayed in Florence three nights and ate there two nights as they are closed for Sunday night. And I will be back! read more
