Our meal was truly delicious and the staff top-notch. We went on a VERY slow night. Our only disappointment was simply decor and ambience. We did not realize it’s a restaurant within a hotel and it just didn’t have the charm and Florence feeling of local places. Felt a bit clinical. However, the food was 10/10 !

Absolutely great experience!!! Outstanding service by Kristina and delicious meal. The wine selection is impressive. I think it was my best Italian red wine I tried in the restaurants here. Highly recommend this place.

Food and service was wonderful - very nicely appointed restaurant; off a lovely square - it is part of a hotel that seemed very nice! One thing that we saw was a young boy being chased out of the restaurant rather severely by the waiter that I wondered about... Until we later learned that children are being used to steal, so I think my friend's purse might have been misappropriated except for the waiter's fast reaction time.

2nd time we have come here- the zucchini soup is worth the trip! Very kind and patient with a tired family of four that struggles with the Italian language. Food is so good and service considerate, in such a beautiful location. We come every time we are in Florence- a best kept secret of the city. Head waiter, and all wait staff, really thoughtful and attentive.

Location is gorgeous. Having the misting machines on was nice, but once it got cooler it seemed like they should have turned it off. They served me champagne in a wine glass, which was strange. They did not have the vegetarian tasting menu that was listed on their website. The chef accommodated me, but I was very disappointed to not have the items I was expecting. Everyone was very kind, but the service was very slow and dinner took 3 hours!

Nice locarion and ambience. Service was in general good except for the head waiter who first seemed nice and recommended the main course for us. He told us that they made the best Florentine steak and he could order the appropriate amount of meat for 4 people (2 women 2 men). We trusted his expertise and let him make the order for us. When the steak was served it was 2 kg of meat!!! We could hardly eat half of it. I really felt he had fooled us completely when we received the bill. I confronted him when we received the bill and was really angry with him so he only charged us for 1 kg! So be aware don't let him recommend you the steak without deciding first the amount of grams!
