4.5/10Horrible attitude of the server. When asked about something on the menu they said it’s written there in English only! We left after appetizers

10/10Luciano, our waiter, was so attentive yet kept his distance. He knew when to assist at the table and when to not. We asked about the family Frescobaldi and he was very willing to tell us their history. Thank you everyone for making my wife’s birthday an evening to remember!

10/10First class Italian food. Not to be missed. Enjoyed talking wine with staff who were very personable. Unbelievable stacked sliced Eggplant appetiser. Really appreciated their several choices of a flight of three wines (smaller portions than full glasses). Great chance to sample Italian wines at low cost.

10/10The service was impeccable, from how the sommelier treated the wine, from pulling the cork, decanting and finally pouring. Service was on point without being intrusive. Very pleasant personality and the setting was timeless. Plus I met a potential interesting contact.

8.5/10Our good friend, James Suckling, recommended this "cantina" to us during our recent, albeit short, stay in Firenze and it lived up to his recommendation. Dishes were nicely presented and well-prepared. The gnocchi were just al dente and quite flavorful; the rombo (turbot) was tasty but surprisingly firm. This was not the case with the bronzino (sea bass) which seemed to melt in the mouth. The zucchini fritti were a nice, garlicy side dish. The tiramisu was classic! All was nicely highlighted by one of Frescobaldi's top Ribolla Giallo wines from northern Italy. The terrace view across the square and towards the old palace was delightful, as was the service!

4.5/10I had been here on our least visit to Florence with my husband and it was great. The waiter who sat us was great. The waiter who served us acted like he could not stand 2 women dining. He would not explain the food or wine we ordered. He was just rude to us only. We observed him interacting with other patrons normally. The chicken was dry as well. I explained about chicken but nothing was done. The biscotti and dessert wine was fantastic . Worst service and meal of our 2 week vacation.

9/10This was a lovely restaurant with a convenient location in the City Center. The ambiance was warm and welcoming. Service by staff was excellent.. We had two starters of fried calamari and shrimp and beef carpaccio. Both were good. We then shared a taglioloni pasta with shaved white truffles. Pricey but delicious. Third course was the potato encrusted branzino and turbot fish with artichokes. Both were tasty. Wine list was chock full of Frescobaldi wines….it would have been nice to have a few more options. We would come back here again.

10/10This was not our first visit to Frescobaldi. The cuisine is a notch above many others, the service and ambiance are as well. Seating is extremely comfortable as the decor is entirely red velvet which was soft and warm on a rainy night. Try the calamari and shrimp appetizer you will not be disappointed. Most everything on the menu is worthy of a try.

8.5/10The food was very good and service excellent. Except: we were seated outside and no indoor option was offered. We mentioned that it was my birthday and they brought a cake w/o asking and then charge 60euros for it. Happy birthday!!

5.5/10WE DO NOT RECOMMEND TO GO HERE IF YOU EXPECT POSITIVE HELPFUL SERVICE AND PROFFESIONAL SOMMELIER ADVISES (WHICH YOU EXPECT AT FRESCOBALDI'S RESTAURANT). WE REQUESTED 2 GLASSES OF LAMAIONE (23 EURO EACH) AND THEY POURED US INSIDE THE BAR SOME OTHER WINE (SUPPOSE BASIC CHIANTI OR SIMILAR) CONSIDERING US A TOURISTS DRINKING ANYTHING. THEN WE REQUESTED TO BRING A BOTTLE OF LAMAIONE TO OUR TABLE AND POUR US 3RD GLASS BEFORE OUR EYES AND FINALLY WE GET REQUESTED LAMAIONE AS THE WINE WAS FANTASTIC. FOR THEIR SERVICE AND THEIR ATTITUDE THIS IS STREET CAFE, IT IS A SHAME TO FRESCOBALDI TO KEEP IT LIKE THIS.

10/10My favourite Florence restaurant. Great outside seating are when the weather is good with the best people watching place in the town, and wonderful old school ambience when inside. The food and service is exemplary and Mirko manages it all with consumate ease.

5/10Food was very good but we were disappointed in the Service. Plates that were finished were removed before others at the table were finished their food. Felt we were being rushed to finish. Desert was very disappointing.

9.5/10As an American, I am ofcourse rather picky with my selections of steak. Frescobaldi did an excellent job as I ordered the Florentine Steak (fillet and sirloin) served as one directly on the bone. The steak was cooked perfectly as medium rare. The medium-rare steak was warm through the middle with most of the center pink in color with a hint of red. They did a great job with service and when I return to Florence it will be again to this restaurant.

10/10Good attentive service. The staff was not rude. Food tasted good - ordered two pasta dishes and one seafood. Good ambience and lighting. Not to loud if a restaurant.

5.5/10The bad experience starts with the impersonal treatment, something absolutely rare in Italy. But until then, “ok”, no one is obliged to be nice. About the food: completely bland and without seasoning. In 15 days traveling through Italy, until Frescobaldi I had 100% good experiences, naturally some at higher levels than others. This restaurant is far from the rest. Very weak. To make matters worse, it was one of the most expensive of the entire trip. In short: run away, it's not worth your savings and above all your precious time in Florence.

10/10What a delightful restaurant. Staff were very friendly and helpful, but the best was the memorable lunch we had. Probably one of the best lunches that I have ever had and we will be sure to return. Inexpensive and very very tasty. The ambience was wonderful, plush seats and just overall fabulous. I highly recommend this restaurant in the centre of Firenze.
