Fantastic views of the river, impeccable service. Great wine selection. Loved my risotto with black truffles. Make a reservation and request a table near the window or on the balcony(if opened)

This place was very uneven in its food. I had the vegetables with black truffle as a starter, this was a fairly cute presentation — pretend grass(sprouts) studded with very al dente vegetables and salad. The truffle was lacking in all flavor. This was followed by a boar filled pasta which was excellent. Unfortunately, one dinner companion ordered the«potato» spaghetti. Do not do this — this dish consisted of almost raw spaghetti shaped potatoes with a carbonara type presentation. Almost resulted in an argument with the hostess! My main course was competently prepared suckling pig complemented by slightly cooked scampi and asparagus. I do not generally eat desert. I would not eat here again. For this amount of money, you can eat a lot better in Florence. They did not charge for the potato dish.

Splurge worthy. This place is not cheap. But, worth the once in a while splurge. The setting is stunning, especially if you can score a spot on the balcony overlooking the river. But otherwise, there are plenty of tables inside and no reservations needed. Food is spectacular. The guinea fowl with tomato cream sauce was delightful. The traditional seafood soup is one of the best tomato based seafood soups I’ve had. The sea beam was cooked perfectly. Service was impeccable and they paid great attention to all the details to each person that walks in and sits down. The recommendations from the staff were on point. Also, make sure to dress up nicely for this place. They treat everyone with a lot of respect even with a tshirt, shorts and sneakers. But if you are going to drop some money here, might as well dress up and have fun. You wouldn’t want to look out of place coming here.

On a whirlwind trip through Firenze and only have time for lunch? It ought to be at Borgo San Jacopo. Why? Allow me to count the ways. — A table on the balcony will afford you fantastic views of the Ponte Vecchio and River Arno. — A fantastic lunch at a ridiculously good value which will delight both your palate and the aesthete in you: this food looks as good as it tastes. — Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication: your plate will arrive with the freshest tomatoes, avocados, tuna, cheese. It’ll be gorgeous but without pretense: no silly foams and squiggles here, just incredibly bright, fresh food. That’s what you came to Italy to eat, isn’t it? I dined with my most food-knowledgeable friend in Firenze — this dude seriously knows his stuff — and lunch here left me with no reason to ponder why he’s such a big fan of Borgo San Jacopo. Certainly among the top meals I’ve had in Italy.

Ein tolles Restaurant mit einer einzigartigen Terrasse mit«Ponte Vecchio”-Blick.(immer ein bischen im Vorraus buchen) Gutes, italienisches Essen fuer den«besonderen“Anlass. Im Vergleich zu anderen Restaurants in der Stadt aber preislich ok. Netter Service.
