9.5/10The owner is passionate about what he does and it shows! He was happy to spend time talking with us about his vision, his philosophy, his methods and his food! Everything was delicious and fresh and unique! We loved the ambiance, despite the traffic going by this cozy, little spot. We couldn’t help but fall in love with the place! A true favorite on our trip to Italy!

10/10Unforgettable, delightful, delicious food, charming vibe. Little place with a handful of tables but a big welcome. Gabrielle made us feel very at home and is very passionate about his food, that passion definitely made it's way onto the plate, best meal we had in Firenze, this place is just awesome and was a very special treat, not to be missed. Local produce, lovingly selected with some nice little twists and surprises on a menu where you pick anything in any order. Highly recommended and lots of fun!

9.5/10Chef-owner Gabriele was very attentive and happy to share the culinary secrets to his dish preparations. The rabbit roulade was tender and delicious wrapped in prosciutto and stuffed with chanterelle mushrooms touched with thyme and accompanied with whipped potatoes. The chickpea pancake with vegetables was delightfully presented and my vegetarian wife found it superb. A bottle of Vermentino wine suggested by Gabriele provided the perfect accompaniment. Try BOrGO—it’s not like all the others.

10/10Best meal in Italy. Host had peak Robin Williams vibes and served an amazingly inventive meal. The linguine with burnt onions was a standout. Wine list was compact and excellent. Would go back without any hesitation.

10/10From the moment we stepped into the restaurant, we were enveloped in an atmosphere of warm hospitality, thanks to the chef patron who was not only the most amazing host but also ensured that every wish was catered for. The personal welcome and escort to our table set the tone for an unforgettable dining experience. The food was nothing short of exceptional, each course a testament to the chef's culinary prowess, which, in my opinion, is deserving of Michelin recognition. From the first bite to the last, each dish was a divine exploration of flavours, textures, and aromas, leaving us in awe of the chef's ability to transform simple ingredients into masterpieces. This restaurant provided the best food experience during our stay in Florence, a city known for its rich culinary heritage. The dedication to quality and the pursuit of perfection in every dish were evident, making every penny spent well worth it. I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking an extraordinary gastronomic journey. It stands as a shining example of what all dining experiences should aspire to be. To the chef patron and the entire team, keep up the great work. You have not just a restaurant, but a treasure that leaves a lasting impression on all who dine with you.

10/10BORGO is a tiny, quiet restaurant with a small menu of excellently prepared dishes. My friend ate an excellent duck breast and I had rabbit roulade, and we finished dinner with a cherry sundae and cheesecake. The owner is the server, giving his guests a warm welcome and attentive service. We'll go back.

10/10Had this not been recommended we would have walked straight past. It’s completely understated but the moment you walk in, the welcome, the ambience, the food is exceptional. If you are looking for delicious unusual dishes with a chef who is passionate about ingredients, this is your place. We loved the dessert with no name - the chef couldn’t find a name that would do it justice.

Dear Anna, thank you for your visit and for trusting your friends!!! Trying to give the best quality and best service possible along with my passion for this job it's my one and only chance to resist amongst so much going on into Florence...thank you so much bye Gabriele

10/10Our dinner at BOrGO was hands down our best meal in beautiful Firenze. Gabriele’s dishes were inventive and made with so much love and care. Gabriele was also a wonderful and generous host. I highly recommend taking some friends and having a proper Italian meal here - order some appetizers, a pasta, a secondi and a dessert with some wine. Linger over the beautiful food and engage Gabriele in some conversation if he’s not too busy. The passion he has for his food will only enhance your meal experience. And if you will be visiting the Dolomites on your trip to Italy ask Gabriele for some recommendations. Grazie Gabriele, for a truly amazing and unforgettable meal!

10/10The proprietor is full of delightful energy, going out of his way to make his guests comfortable. We showed up a bit frustrated because of GPS misdirection, but he put us at ease immediately. And oh my lord, the pasta! I will never forget the tagliatelle. Excellent meal.

10/10An exceptional dining experience with charming ambiance and a hands-on owner who cares deeply about creating memorable meals. This was our third visit to Florence and B.O.r.G.O. in two years and we will continue to book a table here every time we return. Gabriele is passionate about serving high quality farm-to-table food at reasonable prices. My husband very much enjoyed his duck terrine and I savored every morsel of the "daily special" asparagus pasta dish. It was a pleasure to see Gabriele once again while appreciating the masterful recipes of this hidden gem!
