Very good quality food. I took a la carte and was served with lovey dishes, well presented and very good quality produce. As I was alone, I did not take a bottle of wine, but asked for a glass to go with each course. I was offered a very good selection of wines, which matched the dishes perfectly. It is not easy to eat well in Firenze, due to the extremely high volume of tourists, but if you want to have a fine dining experience, this is definitely a place to go.

Memorable food, professional service. Unassuming area of Florence. Quaint, cozy and Michelin star chef tucked away not far from one of the bridges. Such a spectacular experience.

The food was really great. We will definitely be back. The waiter could have been nicer and smile more from the beginning, it took time and compliments on the food to open up to us.

I had the 5 course vegetarian dinner. Everything about it was pure perfection. The staff was attentive and kind. Atmosphere strikes a great balance between romantic, whimsical and refined. I would eat here again and again.

I came here with my sister for my birthday, and it was exceptional. The staff were so kind, welcoming, and really attentive both in terms of explaining the food and making it feel so special for me. I am grateful to the chef for accommodating us, the amazing complimentary dishes everyone received which whetted our appetites (the broccoli was exquisite!), and for designing such an imaginative and delicious tasting menu. I didn’t get the name of the staff who attended to us, but both were very committed and passionate. One recommended soft drinks to complement our food and another brought out a candle for my birthday with a raspberry illusion! Both were friendly, genuine, and made us feel comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed the five course tasting menu. Highlights were the carpaccio (with the thinly sliced plum, herring eggs, and the most delicate fish), the bisque powder on the taglioni, and the best surprise dessert (chocolate, hazelnut, passion fruit, all in harmony). Grazie mille!

The chef, said to be from Venezuela, creates dishes that are incredibly delicate and exceptionally delicious. The cuisine appears to be influenced by Japanese cooking, as one dish's sauce contained soy sauce. The plates used are carefully chosen, and the staff is wonderfully welcoming. It is a highly recommended restaurant.

Fantastic restaurant in Florence! The rack of lamb was simply outstanding — tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Great atmosphere and attentive service. Highly recommend!

The food was delicious. A fusion of Italian ingredients and exotic touches. We had the 5 course menu that was a success from start to finish. The wine list is comprehensive and the prices are good. The staff were fantastic in their explanations of each dish, suggestions and service.

This was a return visit to Cuculia. We ordered the 5 course surprise tasting menu. The three amuse bouche were delicious and imaginative with beautiful presentation. The first course was an onion soup with a brûlée onion powder on top. The flavors were good but the overall product had too much oil for our taste. The second course of roasted pumpkin and the third of chocolate pasta filled with slow cooked pork were spot on. The fourth course of quail was our favorite. The dessert was also delicious and imaginative. Their list of wines by the glass is very well curated and paired well with the meal. The staff are friendly, helpful and professional. Our biggest complaint of the meal was how slow the service was. There was a lot of time between courses resulting in a meal lasting almost 3 hours. While we appreciate not feeling rushed when we dine out we thought this was just too slow. We love the food, presentation and staff but hesitate to return due to the length of the meal.
