Start to finish the experience was exceptional. The restaurant is fancy without being 'stuffy' or pretentious. We had a lovely family dinner thanks to the kind host and wait staff. The menu was thoughtful and delicious - my favorite was the uni infused pasta. Gratzie mille xx

Exquisite wine menu with great champagne list while the food top notch. However the staff was the real star. So warming, helpful, attentive yet not overly. Besides congratulations we also have to say “Thank you”. Yes, the “however” was totally on purpose to emphasize the good to great.

+3I’m just waiting for them to get their second Michelin star! We were our honeymoon, and it was the most romantic and perfect experience. The staff was great and friendly. The food was out of this world, 10 out of 10! You must when you’re in Florence.

Well deserving of its Michelin star. The impressive details, elegant presentation, superb dish descriptions, attentive service, and food that awakens the senses, make this dining experience worth price splurge.

Food was ok but not Michelin star worthy. We often dine in Michelin restaurants and this was borderline one star. Among the poorest experience of all one stars we have been to in Europe and outside France where the standards for Michelin are a bit lower. We were the evening before at fratelli which was not a star but much better and innovative. Also the staff is not so good. It feels stiff upper lip and old fashioned (not in a good way). We were also welcomed very cold manner. They promised us a table on the terrace and did not deliver it. Inside the atmosphere is not so enjoyable. There are many places in Firenze with a terrace and ambience much better than this one. So this is a recommendation by Michelin not to follow.

An excellent experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious — this place truly deserves its Michelin star. Service was top-tier: kind, attentive, and thoughtful. I celebrated my birthday here this year, and they made it special with a surprise dessert and one of the best tables by the window, overlooking Florence and the river — even though we booked last minute. That gesture meant a lot. We chose the chef’s 7-course tasting menu with wine pairing. Everything was exquisite, but honestly… so much food! Before the actual courses, we already had five amuse-bouches, bread, and some extras. By the fifth course (the meat), I was full — and I usually eat a lot! The meat was incredible, but finishing it was a challenge 😅 Bonus points for the olive oil — they introduced it during the meal, and I loved it so much I bought a bottle to take home. Overall, unforgettable night. Would absolutely recommend.

The service at Borgo San Jacobo was singularly the worst I have ever experienced in my life. At the end of an enjoyable meal, my wife and I were reminiscing and laughing — and the server had the gaul to tell us to be quiet. I have been dining at the world’s finest restaurants for over 25 years and have never experienced such outlandish behavior. The restaurant clearly cares more about some perceived image of itself than it cares about its patrons having an enjoyable experience.
