At certain times of day, the tempting aroma of freshly baked bread greets you as soon as you step into this restaurant, leaving you in no doubt as to the nature of the restaurant’s newest venture. Other dishes are also baked in the oven here, such as wild boar served with a red wine babà and sage mayonnaise. There are two tasting menus available (Attimi di cucina and Momento contemporaneo), both of which showcase traditionally influenced cuisine full of distinct flavours.

Situated in the historic centre, this trattoria-cum-delicatessen focuses on top-quality traditional cuisine. Take a seat in the simple, informal dining room and choose from a vast selection of cheeses and salumi, as well as home-made pasta and meat dishes.

In the world of fine dining, Via Ghibellina is synonymous with Enoteca Pinchiorri: the magnificent seventeenth-century palazzo that houses it is home to one of the most iconic restaurants in Italy, a true legend of gastronomy. Opened in 1972 by Annie Féolde and Giorgio Pinchiorri, what began as a modest wine shop with a kitchen has over time become a great restaurant, in which Florentine history and elegance intertwine among paintings, frescoes and vivid arrangements of fresh flowers. At the stove, the cooking aspires to a refinement free of ostentation, eschewing fleeting fashions in favour o

In a charming hamlet just outside Galeata, the entrance opens onto a small, pretty courtyard that in summer leads to outdoor tables beside the church, shaded by trees and facing the hills: a truly idyllic setting. The cuisine is rooted in the local territory, which here means not only Romagna but also echoes of the neighboring Marche and, above all, Tuscany – as in a memorable lampredotto with porcini mushrooms, tasted on our most recent late‑summer visit. In the adjoining shop, guests can purchase products prepared in the restaurant’s own workshop, while a few guest rooms are also available.

Through the large picture windows and from the summer terrace, a captivating view of Florence unfolds below. The gastronomic proposal draws deep roots from Italian tradition, with evident Tuscan resonance, expressed in a creative key across meat, fish, and a sound vegetarian selection. A carefully curated wine list, alongside a cocktail offering, completes the experience.

Occupying the atmospheric setting of the Eden theatre, a former late-19C musical café, this restaurant adorned with beautiful Liberty-style frescoes is the perfect backdrop for elegant, well-balanced Mediterranean-inspired dishes. Young, talented chef Nicola Annunziata offers three tasting menus of five (L’Ora Precisa), seven (La Spudorata) and nine (La Luce) courses with wine pairings recommended by the knowledgeable sommelier. If you’re looking for a quieter and more romantic ambience, book a table in the 14C icehouse, with its glass floor providing glimpses of the well-stocked wine cellar b

Attention: Temporarily closed!In the heart of the historic centre, yet set apart on a quiet little piazza, the first thing to catch the eye is the Pagliazza Byzantine tower, the oldest in the city and the only one circular in form. Once through the entrance of the Hotel Brunelleschi, guests are accompanied to the first floor of the tower, where the restaurant is to be found: an intimate dining room adorned with a Murano chandelier and just six tables. The culinary offering reveals a strong Mediterranean inspiration, with marine echoes that surface throughout the combinations of flavours. The d
