Delicious food, our favorite bottle of vermentino wine at a great price and thoughtful waitstaff. We ordered a pasta and a steak and with effort ate about half of the food and brought the rest home for snacking later on. Highly recommend!

It's great to know you loved the food so much that you wanted to enjoy it again at home—that is the best compliment we could receive! Whether it's for a full meal or a "late-night snack," we are always happy to provide a delicious experience. We hope to see you again soon at The Stellar!

Although we had a reservation we had to wait a few minutes to be seated. Once seated, we were delighted by the bread and high quality olive oil. All of the food we had was delicious. I would highly recommend the gnudi and the gnocchi pesto. Our server was friendly and helpful. This is a great place to go if you find yourself on the Altrarno!

Food was OK. Nobody was in the restaurant when we were there. They removed items that were reflected on the website, which we weren’t happy about.
Stellar – La Cucina del Granaio dei MediciDear Guest, Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your experience didn’t fully meet your expectations. As our team mentioned during your visit, our website is currently being updated to reflect our new seasonal menu. We understand the disappointment of not finding a specific dish, but this transition allows us to always serve the freshest ingredients available. Regarding the atmosphere, the vibe of the restaurant can vary depending on the time and day, but we always strive to provide a welcoming and attentive service. We would love to have you back at The Stellar to offer you a complete experience and let you discover the new flavors of our latest menu.

Excellent pasta with shaved truffles! The bread basket was actually quite fresh and much tastier than what I have found available at the majority of the restaurants I have eaten in Florence. The glass of Chianti paired well with the truffle pasta. So why only 4 stars for the food? Well, frankly the insalata mista was overpriced and included tons of spiky, tasteless greens in addition to a few other veggies (no tomatoes) and cubes of bland cheese. Only saved by the 30% discount from The Fork! Service and atmosphere were top class.
Stellar – La Cucina del Granaio dei MediciThank you so much for your detailed review! We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our truffle pasta and that our fresh bread basket stood out—we take great pride in these details, as well as our wine pairings like the Chianti you selected. We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding the mixed salad. We aim for high quality in every dish, including our sides, and your comments about the greens and cheese will be shared with our Chef to ensure we offer a better balance and value in the future. We're glad that The Fork promotion made your experience even more enjoyable! It is wonderful to know that our service and atmosphere were "top class" for you. We hope to welcome you back soon for another "star-worthy" meal!

Very sub par meal in Florence and feel it was a wasted opportunity during our short visit. I would not recommend. I picked this place due to location and other reviews.
Stellar – La Cucina del Granaio dei MediciWe are truly sorry to hear that your experience at The Stellar did not meet your expectations and that you felt it was a "wasted opportunity" during your stay in Florence. This is certainly not the impression we aim to leave on our guests. We take all feedback seriously as we constantly strive to improve. We would have loved to know more about the specific details of your visit so that we could address it with our team. If you would like to share more about what happened, please feel free to contact us directly; we would truly appreciate the chance to better understand your experience. We hope you might consider visiting us again in the future to give us a second chance to show you the high standards of quality and hospitality we are known for.

The Artichoke appetizer was overdone with a sauce that did not complement the wonderful vegetable 6/10. The sweet potato gnocchi were cooked perfectly but the squash based sauce lacked balance. It needed a salty accompaniment to balance the sweetness 7/10. The risotto dish was ok but overly rich 8/10. As far as the ambience it was a little pedestrian, especially seeing that the waiter was wearing sneakers.
Stellar – La Cucina del Granaio dei MediciDear Guest, Thank you for your detailed review; we are grateful for all feedback, especially when it goes into the technical merits of our cuisine. As we hope you can see from our other guests' testimonials, your experience was an exception far from our usual standards of balance and attention to detail. We have already shared your observations with our Chef: the search for the perfect balance between sweetness and savoriness is fundamental to us, and your notes on the gnocchi and risotto are a precious incentive for us to further refine our recipes. Regarding the atmosphere, we are sorry it did not fully convince you. The choice of a more dynamic dress code for our staff, including sneakers, reflects the young and dynamic soul of The Stellar. We will commit ourselves even further to ensuring that every element, from the dish to the service, is flawless. We hope to see you again soon at The Stellar to improve your experience and let you discover the evolution of our offerings.

environment perfect, food like frozen at supermarket

At The Stellar, we take great pride in using only fresh, high-quality, and often local ingredients.

We hope you will give us another chance to prove the true quality of our kitchen. Best regards,

The color & decoration was lovely and the seatings are spacious. Niccolo was most welcoming, together with Giada, provide warm & attentive services throughout the night. The food was very fresh and well executed, the steak florentine with potatoes & cannellini beans was excellent—we couldn’t finished it and Niccolo packed them up nicely for us to take back. It’s a lovely walk along the river to get there. They only been opened a few months so still not very well known—so do give them a try! Highly recommended :)
Stellar – La Cucina del Granaio dei MediciDear Doris, Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We are delighted that you enjoyed our decor, the service from Niccolò and Giada, and our Florentine steak. It is actually a great compliment for us that you felt we have "just opened" while we have been here for several years now, we work hard every day to keep our atmosphere fresh and modern. We love being your "new discovery" in Florence! Thank you again for the high recommendation. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!

+1Food was amazing! Will definitely be going back. Our waiter was great, he had awesome recommendations. Beef cheek was out of this world, great pastas and bread they bring the table was delicious. Chocolate cake for desert was one of the best we’ve ever had.

Some of the food came out at varying temperatures parts of a dish were cold and others warm. Florentino steak was cooked great but lacked a bit of flavor. They also didn’t show me the steak before as they did for a different table which was weird
Stellar – La Cucina del Granaio dei MediciOur main concern is customer satisfaction, so we apologize and will immediately work to improve what you have reported regarding the temperature of the dishes. As for the Florentine steak, our standard is to show it to the customer upon request, as was done for the table next to yours. We hope to see you again soon and improve your experience.
