First the excellent: Service and presentation of food. Then... The space is nice, but tiny details, like the air vents are dirty and table was rocking a bit. And finally, the quality of food, and preparation were excellent, but for me the menu did not have harmony and a WOW flavor factor. was missing. And they offer two preset menus. Both with 5 courses. We wanted one of each but were told that that was not possible. However, it was possible for one of us to have "the menu" and other to order a la carte. We were dissapointed that we could not taste both menus. Should say so on the website.

Fussiness over the top. Rapid fire English difficult to follow. Meat tender but fatty. Food highly salted. Olive oil butter! Drink options universally expensive and as a result, not attractive. Staff tried hard but clearly had been poorly trained. Seating NOT as requested with view of the Ponte Vecchio. Seated at the top of a long stair- concern for anybody with ambulatory challenges. Lovely young maitre de very helpful calling a taxi.

We had a spectacular evening at Borgo San Jacopo last night. It was our first experience in a restaurant of that calibre and it did not disappoint.

Really amazing, tasty and imaginative food, with excellent ingredients. I had the standard tasting menu with regular wine pairing, the cadence of food delivery was perfect (never too rushed nor too slow), and the sommelier and serving staff were all delightful (with perfect English!). Amazing place for any special occasion.

Exceptionan food, service and ambiance. The manager and staff were fantastic. Almost the best Mitchelin restaurant we have ever eaten at ( second only to The Fat Duck!).

For my wife’s birthday, Borgo San Jacopo made the evening truly special. This Michelin-starred gem in Florence combines exquisite cuisine, a warm atmosphere, and breathtaking views. From the moment we arrived, the staff’s professionalism and warmth stood out. They greeted us with a complimentary glass of champagne and ensured we felt cared for throughout the evening. Our table had a stunning view of the Arno River and Ponte Vecchio, adding to the ambiance and making the night even more memorable. The tasting menu was a delightful journey, with each dish showcasing the chef’s creativity and attention to detail. A highlight was the pasta, which exemplified the restaurant’s innovative approach to fine dining. The staff surprised my wife with a beautifully plated dessert, complete with a personalized birthday message, adding a thoughtful touch to the celebration. Borgo San Jacopo made my wife’s birthday unforgettable, with impeccable service, outstanding food, and an amazing view.

Everything that they brought out prior to the fish was absolutely amazing! It made me excited for the next dish to come until I got to the fish and suckling pig. The Turbot was lacking seasoning even with the sauce. The suckling pig was good but left me wanting to eat the crispy skin but I couldn’t because it couldn’t even be cut. The service and the sommelier was amazing! I would suggest doing a bunch of the appetizers as that is what impressed me the most. Every bite was packet with taste.

Booked this for our engagement dinner and it was absolutely fantastic. The wait staff were incredibly knowledgeable and explained each drink and dish in depth. We had the spring tasting menu but didn't fancy the wine pairing so the sommelier was able to recommend a fantastic bottle of Chardonnay which we enjoyed a lot. The food was exceptional and each course was perfectly constructed and balanced. Would highly recommend.

This was one of the best meals I ever had. They accommodated my allergies and made my plate match my partner’s so I would not feel left out. The food was beyond perfect. The servers were extraordinary! The never missed anything. They made a point to make the night a perfect evening! The courses just kept coming and all the wines that were matched to the courses were amazing. I loved it! The birthday cake surprise was wonderful!
