Fancy, presumptuous. No correlation between the appearance and the end result.

Fabulous food, lovely ambience, and there was no problem with bringing my four-month old grandson (alseep in his pram beside our table) into this restaurant, even though it is a smart and sophisticated place. Now that is good service!

Spectacularly high standard of imaginative cuisine in a refined and sophisticated decor. This is a delightful place to dine -- the very highest standards. The prices are very reasonable for the quality of both food and experience. Simply outstanding.

The personality of the host Valerio and his crew are unbeatable. Service a bit slow, but we were in no hurry. This elegant place is to be called home.

Perfect dinner! The carrot velouté was a perfect harmony of different ingredients. Simple and very delicious. Pici with ragu was also very nice, a bit too salty for me. The tagliata literally melted in the mouth. Excellent wine selection. The service is top notch!

+2Second visit, equally wonderful. Set in Fiesole centre with tables outside, a very nice experience. Food was very good and just like the pictures shown on other posts, with ingredients locally sourced right down to the honey. Stuffed peppers were not what we expected and a pleasant surprise with tastes of Thailand. Cold tomato soup again a surprise, it's shrimp with diced fruits in a little tomato juice, very refreshing. Pork medallions soft and gently cooked with a nice honey sauce was delicate flavours. Bit disappointed with the steak not peppery as advertised, but cooked nice wirh a good char, potatoes were great. The agnolotti was a beautiful, yellow tomato sauce and stuffed with tuscan sausage, a must. The most unexpected carrot cake, a delight. Staff very nice, very helpful, seats a bit uncomfortable, on 2nd visit enjoyed comfy seats inside.

Is this the best restaurant in Florence? Certainly the best in Fiesole and surely most of Florence. Though the menu is not large, every item we had amongst 3 people was wonderful. The flavours and combinations can be intense, yet often subtle as well, and all delightfully pleasing. The dishes are unique to this restaurant and it is so well worth the short journey to Fiesole. The staff are very invested in good service and communication. They are welcoming and friendly. They explain the menu with care and pride (in English if necessary) and are known for their use of local ingredients and also extensive, exclusive local wines. If the weather is good enough, sitting outside with the view to Florence available is one of those moments to savour deeply. However the restaurant inside is also cosy and pleasant with a sleek modern air.

The cheese selection was amazing, our favorite thing. Both of our dishes, the duck and the black pork, were incredible as well.

Wonderful dining experience, from the special setting to the refined flavors. Very highly recommended. Slow food at its best. Hospitality at its most authentic.

A really lovely restaurant. Food was excellent, especially the tagiatelle with truffles. Only snag was they could not find our reservation. House super tuscan was excellent. Chocolate dessert is the way to go.
Bistrot al 5Thank you so much Richard, we are sorry about your reservation but at least we found a way to take care of everything and let you enjoy dinner anyway. Thank you for being so understanding. We are happy that you enjoyed dinner too!
