Lungarno Bistrot

We were greeted with free champagne when we arrived. My boyfriend and I split a pasta, which was delicious. Both of our entrees seemed to be influenced by Asian flavors. My fried seafood was a little too oily, but still good. We ended the night with a tiramisu to split and some complimentary limoncello. The wait staff was very friendly and helpful. They made our romantic evening in Florence that more enjoyable. Also, there was no cover charge and they only charged 10% for service. I think they deserved a lot more than 10%. I would definelty recommend this place to anyone who wants a nice meal while traveling in Florence.

If you want your money’s worth, don’t come here. Food only mediocre. Overpriced. Tourist trap. You can do much better.

One of our favourite meals in Florence. Upscale restaurant with a glass of Prosecco upon entry. Service was great and attentive, in particular to the nut related questions we had due to an allergy. Food was fantastic, and a scenic patio along the river.

Nice ambience and service but mediocre food. Pasta a bit overdone with too much oil.

Our best meal in Firenze!!! Dishes are unique and full of flavor. You won’t get your typical spaghetti carbonara or ragu, but something much more gourmet. Service was great! If you want to sit outside a reservation is a must!!!

The food very good, but before we ordered I asked for separate checks, the waiter said he would, no problem. Had not seen our waiter for while so Igot up and told the manager that we had tickets to a Musicale and we needed our checks. The manager finally brought one check rudely contradicted our waiter and said he cannot afford to make separate checks. We barely made it to the Musicale. I don’t think we divided the bill fairly. With computers, separate checks are not that big a problem. Our bill was E 346.00 and some of our party did not have wine.

We stopped here for lunch after seeing the restaurant buzzing the night before. The décor, atmosphere and surroundings are beautiful. Unfortunately the food was a let down from what we expected and for the price. We had the grilled fish and grilled pork which were cooked very well but way over seasoned for our taste.

Our favorite restaurant in Firenze and Roma! After trying to get a reservation in two other restaurants unsuccessfully, Lorenzo from Hotel L’orologio recommended this spot just across the river that we had passed several times on bike/​vespa and thought it was cute.
We arrived to a warm welcome and delicious glass of prosecco to their gorgeous dining room (and outdoor dining al fresco is equally gorgeous if the weather permits). We loved the vertical green walls and comfortable seats. Their wine menu had reasonable options and we opted for a Le Volte which was delicious and truly drinkable.
The menu was wide and had the Florentine favorites but also lots of seafood and the chef’s menu (traditional and seafood). We chose the seafood tasting menu and did not regret it. We also opted for the tiramisu which was the best we had in Italy. It was light and had some fresh crispiness but absolutely divine.
The service from the maitre’d and other servers were top notch, friendly and respectful. The clientele was from all over Europe (including locals) and America. Best of all, the prices were really reasonable and not ripoffs like some of the tourist traps like Gargani (ugh).
Bottom line: We would highly recommend this if you find yourself hungry in Florence.
