10/10Excellent cuisine! The dishes were delicious and the combinations of ingredients very surprising. We enjoyed the cocktails prepared with much care, and the wine was fantastic. The service is top, the perfect mix of hospitality, knowledge to make recommendations and space left for privacy. We will definitely return!

9.5/10Only a couple of hundred yards from the Pitti Palace this Bistrot is definitely NOT a tourist trap. The menu was original yet very traditional Tuscan. The service was excellent and when asked both the food and wine menu were explained to us thoroughly and simply in both English and Italian. The prices were very reasonable if not inexpensive considering the close proximity to many tourist destinations. This was a great restaurant and I would definitely recommend it to both family and friends!

10/10Bistro Monaconero is a fabulous restaurant we stumbled upon while wandering the streets of Florence, and we were delighted! The service is superb, the presentation and flavors excellent… and a calming atmosphere makes Monaconero our favorite place to escape from the busy old town of Firenze. Our chosen charcuterie board for our starter was artistically created with the finest of fresh ingredients, and the toasted pine nuts paired with blue cheese and pair on toasted bread was wonderful! Highly recommend the salad with walnuts and burrata, as well as tiramisu! Don’t miss out on this hidden gem- Our best dinner in Florence! We will certainly return!

9.5/10The staff was very friendly. The food was fantastic!! we ordered several plates to share to try many things and they were all very very good!!! The antipasto of cold cuts, cheeses with honey and sun-dried tomatoes was amazing, as the rest of of the meal, specially the second courses were very good.

10/10Such a quaint place! It's a little off the beaten path but worth looking for. It's down a small street in front of Pitti Palace. The negroni was made from spirits crafted in Siena and was delicious. we had a crustone appetizer, wild boar ragu, mushroom/truffle tortelli and a bottle of chianti. Everything was yum! my personal preference would probably be to have had a ricotta or sausage based filling in the tortelli (vs potato), but it was still delicious. We would definitely come here again.

10/10we noticed the restaurant as we were walking by and checked out the menu. delighted by the number of vegetarian/vegan dishes on the menu, we made a dinner reservation—so glad we did! of the four dishes we ordered, three were vegan, one was vegetarian (it had cheese). all were delicious, the service was outstanding, the ambiance is lovely! we are already planning to return.

10/10We dined at Bistrot Monaconero in Florence, and it was an unforgettable experience. The evening began with inspiring cocktails—particularly the carbon lemonade with Tuscan gin, a refreshing and innovative start. Their original take on the Negroni was equally impressive, a creative twist on a Florentine classic. The dinner that followed was extraordinary. Each dish highlighted how local fresh ingredients can be composed into the most delicious meals. The flavors were vibrant, the service impeccable, and every bite reflected the chef's dedication to quality and culinary artistry. The atmosphere was great, enhanced by a beautiful decor and a relaxing soundtrack. Restaurant Monaconero is a must-visit in Florence for anyone who appreciates fine dining, inventive cocktails, and superb Tuscan wine. The combination of exceptional drinks, superb food, and a welcoming ambiance makes it a standout destination we can only highly recommend. For sure we will be back.
