We ordered the daily pasta at this place that was recommended by a newspaper at home. I have to say that I was disappointed by the value for the money in this place: 14 € is a hefty price for a really small portion of pasta. It was about half the size of what you usually get which makes it just too expensive all in all. The fettucine with tomato sugo and tuna als came with a hint of lemon which I liked but might not be for everyone. The waitress was very kind and responded quickly to our needs for the little one.

A woman told me that when I was in Florence to eat at Café Cibreo, the cheaper but same quality restaurant as Cibreo. She was pretty and plump and said «I ate there as often as I could afford it.» I believed her, and that I should go there. It wasn’t far off the central square, with no wait at Italian 2pm lunch. I was sat at a table of with 2 other wonderful people that were as luscious as the woodsy interior. I had a fresh and complex butternut squash soup where I savored every bite. One of my table mates I actually had a drink with afterwards — even tho I barely speak Italian — we lovingly fumbled through a conversation.

Pretty tough to beat this spot in florence. Tuscan cuisine at its pinnacle. Price fixe menu with choices delivered by the owner accompanied by super Tuscan vino. Dessert was the best. I had the blueberry tart. Entrée was beef carpaccio and amazing small sides

Food deserves a 4.5 star but is just shy of a 5. For dinner we ordered 4x € 40 sets. Owner is a lively character, looks like a pirate and banters with you. Nice. appetizers: liver pâté and ricotta, pickles, tripe, pickled yellow peppers, prosciutto, some yoghurt with green olive oil. For the primero, we had spicy spaghetti with tuna. Pretty good. For secondi, we had stuffed rabbit, cod mousse, beef stew, and spicy squid with watercress. Bavarian fruit tart excellent, chocolate cake slice was so rich, apple strudel was average. Chestnut meringue extremely fluffy and with perfect consistent, cheesecake with peach, good but not outstanding. Definitely worth a try. Extensive tea selection

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Florence — go here at least once on each trip. You should try the fixed menu — starters, main and dessert — 40 euros. Chef Picchi is quiet a force to reckon with. Across the street is Teatero de Salle — theater + food — run by chef Picchi too … Just go for it!

Go here if you are in Florence, not just for the food but for the owner. With a face like Poseidon and a wardrobe by J. Crew, he will literally replace your polenta primi(very good) with an even better dish if he sees fit(which in this case was an amazing ragu and this creamy white molded something). This was a delightful last meal in Florence for me.

Simply the best coffee in Florence. The cappuccino was made to perfection and the texture was so smooth and velvety. We found out about this place from an American couple that lives in Florence during the summers and they swore it was the best coffee in Florence… and they were right! The ambiance is really chill, and what you would expect from an Italian or European café. I didn’t try their food here but I had such an amazing dinner with the sister restaurant Trattoria Cibreo.
