Dining
Borgo San Jacopo
The name of this restaurant in the Hotel Lungarno refers to its location in one of the most charming districts in Florence, namely Oltrarno, just beyond the Ponte Vecchio. Here, lucky diners will get the chance to sit at one of two tables on the balcony for an unforgettable dining experience – although wherever you sit, the superb cuisine created by Claudio Mengoni will linger long in the memory. Showcased on two tasting menus and an à la carte, the meat and fish dishes served here are creative and of the highest quality, with the occasional Tuscan influence.
WebsiteDa Burde
Booking in advance is highly recommended at this traditional Tuscan restaurant (home to a grocer’s shop as well as a trattoria) which has a loyal and regular clientele. Most guests come here for the superb Fiorentina steak (cooked over the grill), as well as the classic soups and home-made pastas. The wine list is overseen by Andrea, an enthusiastic sommelier who enjoys organising themed wine-tasting evenings.
WebsiteIl Latini
True to itself as always, Il Latini is a real Florentine institution, which continues to keep Tuscan traditions alive both in its small, rustic-style dining rooms and in its typical regional cuisine prepared with careful attention to detail and a respectful approach. Florentine steak takes pride of place on the menu, which also features the local hams that hang from the ceiling. Specialities include pappa al pomodoro, Florentine tripe and ribollita stew, as well as cantucci with vin santo, the typical finale to any Tuscan meal. Generations may pass but the appeal of this convivial and welcomin
WebsiteDa Bibe
At the gates of Florence, at the precise point where the city dissolves into the green of the countryside, Bibe welcomes guests beneath the leafy canopy of its summer terrace and within the warm interiors of a trattoria safeguarding over one hundred and fifty years of history, now in the hands of the sixth generation. Here, Tuscan cuisine remains the absolute protagonist: artisanal cured meats, traditional crostini, pici al ragù, and iconic dishes such as beef peposo. Not to be missed are the fried or grilled chicken and, for devotees, a fiorentina that interprets the classic canons in the mos
WebsitePodere 39
Just beyond Porta Romana, one finds an intimate dining room with few covers – advance booking is strongly advised – where the restaurant wins one over immediately through its style: a small space of considerable personality, made all the more appealing by rustic details set off by generous and carefully tended floral arrangements. A portion of the ingredients comes directly from their own farm, Podere 39, a guarantee of freshness and identity. The menu alternates between meat and fish, a well-judged balance that draws out the quality of the produce and a cooking of authentic and unaffected cha
WebsiteCucina
At this restaurant, local ingredients (mainly from the market) take pride of place on the daily menu which changes in accordance with whatever produce is available at the time. The rustic-style dishes are full of intense flavours, with meat and vegetables often cooked in the wood-fired oven. The pleasantly informal dining room with its many cookery books dotted here and there was designed by the owner-architects themselves.
WebsiteIo Osteria Personale
Well past its tenth year of operation, this contemporary bistrot has by now established itself as a solid point of reference in the San Frediano quarter – and more broadly across the city. The setting, spare yet considered, plays upon exposed beams, brick walls and a handful of wooden tables left deliberately in their natural state, arranged in two rows: a simplicity that is only apparent, behind which is felt a carefully attuned minimal sensitivity. The same attention is to be found in the kitchen, where a creative and personal offering takes shape, moving with balance between meat, fish and
WebsiteCestello Firenze
On the spectacular piazza dominated by the historic church of San Frediano in Cestello, this atmospheric restaurant distinguishes itself through a relaxed elegance, complemented by an excellent bar where a carefully considered cocktail offering is accompanied by refined tapas pairings. The cooking is entirely dedicated to fish and seafood: generous space is given to raw preparations from the sea, also available through a dedicated tasting menu, while the heart of the carte explores modern and creative compositions. For those who favour a more classic approach, it is possible to approach the fi
