As we approached SAPORIUM oozing with warm soft light through large casement windows, we knew we were in for an experience. The intimate dining room was dotted with just a dozen tables for lucky diners who all had a clear view to the immaculate dark green tiled kitchen. Soft music cast an exotic mood. Tables were simple, adorned with crisp linen without creese and warm candle light. The service was immediate, convivial, helpful, and prompt. The wines, especially the wines from the Saporium estate were delicious and sophisticated. The sommelier was extremely helpful with our choices. The food was exquisite. Call outs: The bread chef crafted the thinest bread sticks from potato flour but also handled a laminated dough to create a flakey bread accompaniment to a sensual egg dish. The pastry chef made cakes, cookies and candies that delighted the eye and the tongue. The chef du cuisine who transformed the most humble ingredients to layered delicious dishes. Mille grazie

The food was original, delicious and presented beautifully. Sometimes degustacion can be overwhelming with the different flavours and quantity of the food, but here there was a good balance throughout, supported by a thoughtful wine selection. The staff were also very welcoming and informative, and personalised our experience. 10/10.

From the moment my friend and I walked in it was nothing short of excellent hospitality. They took great care of explaining everything and the food was amazing. The best dish I had in my 8 course menu was a hare saddle with pear and kale and it was the first time food had brought tears to my eyes. Highly recommend will be back if I’m ever in Italy

The wait staff was very competent and knew their “product”, but, the issue is the product. The dishes served were ornate and visually stimulating, most tasted ok. But the price, well, it was over the top expensive. Portions were microscopic. I am never opposed to an expensive meal. This restaurant stretches the farm to table concept. I would recommend it only to diners who find the pomp and circumstance’s of presentation as the main event.

Visiting on our vacation trip and found the restaurant in the guide Michelin. Good restaurant with thoughtful young bright chef comes out to greet you. Meat pre fix consisted mostly of game: hare, rabbit, snails. Kind of wished for a bit of a beef or something bloody :). Each dish is flavorful and pleasantly presented. The beef would have polished it into the outstanding menu and would have justified the price, as well as give us that bit of Florence we were looking for. Restaurant ambience is very good. Not loud or annoying or stuffy in any way. Waiters and staff were courteous and friendly. Recommend!

I enjoyed the seafood experience. Food was divine, attention to detail was noticed, service was attentive, decor was tastefully done. 2 star caliber since it’s all farm to table

The restaurant is by the river, the blue atmosphere has a feeling of entering a forest, the food is creative and tasty, well deserved one Michelin star and Condé Nast Traveller list, I will be back here and the overall service was excellent. It's worth mentioning though that the sommelier was very unfriendly, not pronouncing the word correctly when I tried to enquire what Franciacorta I could recommend, after all the word isn't in English either, and then he acts like he's educating unseasoned rednecks to tell you that proseco isn't champagne! Of course, being a food and wine lover knows the difference between them, and being in rather than France, I enquired at the back of the order if this Franciacorta was dry? He indifferently said that all Franciacorta are dry, and when nearing the end of the dessert, quickly collected the glasses and had no dessert wine pairing suggestions, very unprofessional and impolite.

I loved the tasting menu! The chef combined flavors and textures that was amazing. Like the tomato water for the bread and barley risotto with cranberries and eel with lentil soy sauce and 17 types of greens for a salad. The breads and pasta were amazing. I would love to buy them for my friends. I loved the three wines I had. I love the farm to table of this restaurant and the history of the company. I will return.

Our dining experience at Saporium in Florence was nothing short of extraordinary, easily ranking as one of the best restaurant experiences we've ever had. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality and impeccable service. The ambiance was elegant yet cozy, creating the perfect setting for an unforgettable meal. Each dish was a masterpiece, showcasing the finest ingredients and the chef's remarkable culinary skills. Chef Ariel Hagen pours his heart into every dish, and this passion is evident in the exquisite flavors and meticulous presentation. The flavors were exquisite, with every bite offering a delightful surprise. Saporium's commitment to excellence was evident in every aspect, making it a must-visit for anyone seeking an exceptional dining experience in Florence. A second and third Micheline Star is really just a question of time for this restaurant.

Gorgeous food and chilled atmosphere with relaxed staff putting you at ease as soon as we entered. Unlike some Michelin star restaurants the chef was very visible and came to chat to customers throughout the meal. The sommelier’s recommendations were excellent. Can’t recommend highly enough.
