Had a reservation for 7:30pm and asked for outside Terrace. We got the last table before going inside. Dishan was our server...very knowledgeable and attentive. Ordered two appetizers and bottle of 2014 Chianti Castellinuzza. Wonderful! Dishan brought us a compliment of cheese. The appetizers were liver on toast and onion pudding...both were fantastic. Very nice plating of foods and tastes. Ordered salads and Rabbit, mushroom risotto, and pear and cheese raviole. All entrees were spectacular. We split the Panacotta with fruit and the tiramisu. Everything was very fresh and delicious .
Dishan really treated us well...brought us some Limoncella for the ending. wonderful meal, on a beauitful patio, overlooking an awesome view. This was quite the treat.

We were recommended this restaurant by the owner of a local vineyard. We stayed in the former owners’ villa.
The food is cooked perfectly. The service is impeccable. The servers were knowledgable and passionate.
The food was a culinary celebration, and the meal itself was an experience.
The variety of bread, olive oils, and balsamic vinegar alone was fantastic!

Located on one of the most panoramic terraces of Fiesole, La Reggia degli Etruschi (once a monastery and later a tearoom) is today one of the most exclusive restaurants in the city with a breathtaking view over Florence and its monuments. We do not serve bar we are just restaurant

One of best meals and Italian steakhouses ever. Had 2 porterhouses for our table of six. Meat was thin sliced and accompanied with various sides. Served after our primi piati of several pasta dishes. And followed up with excellent dessert pasties. Great meal and wonderful service. Only problem was steep climb from Piazza in Fiesole to reach restaurant. Can call for shuttle to transport you and group up hill. Highly recommend this place for a romantic and pleasurable evening.
4. La Buchetta Food & Wine restaurant

Visit the first Brunelleschi Palazzo, in the hearth of Florence, and experience a Gourmet's lounge with a flavour of contemporary art. Open from 12.00 To 15.00 and from 19.00 to 23.00 , lunch and dinner. You can teste our traditional and creative cousine. is better to reserve a table thank you soo much.

We checked tripadvisor for a lunch nearby and La Buchetta came up with great reviews. What a flop. Clearly a place that is over-reaching in its creativity but not in a good way. The antipasto was prosciutto (actually good) with stracciatella, with the aim of differentiating from the classical mozzarella combo. But guess what, would be better off with the original instead of the runny and more milkier-tasting option. As mains we had one pasta that was so memorable I can’t even recall after less than a week and another tagliatelle with duck ragu and cocoa. I remember that one because the duck in the beef ragu was boiled to death and the cocoa powder sprinkle didn’t work at all. For desert, the red berries mousse was good, light and not too rich. If the meal was priced in line with other classic osterias I would have given it a break but being overpriced just tipped my scale to a full 3 stars. Enjoy any of the more affordable let-downs instead.

I was a student in Florence 9 years ago and returned back for a vacation with my husband. Pino's was the FIRST meal I insisted we have upon arriving and it was truly better than I remember. Pino is still there, as charming and welcoming as ever (English speaking welcome), and serves what I consider the best panini I have ever had. Crisp, salty bread, delicious ingredients and so affordable. Lunch for two is 9 euros! Whatever Sandwich you order, make sure to add his pesto!!! It's out of this world good. A MUST STOP IN Florence!
6. Il Bufalo Trippone

We are a cozy activity in the historic center of Florence. We mainly deal with Tuscan products, especially small agricultural productions, which differentiate us from large commercial distribution. In our shop we make cutting boards and panini / schiacciate with quality gastronomic products from Tuscany (Cheese, Ham, Cold cuts) that we have even for direct sale. You can drink also good wine touscanian too. If you also want to have something nice and traditional you should come at Bufalo Trippone
Reviewed By Cilia193 - Island of Malta, Malta
Guys it is a must to visit this small but very cozy shop, while in Florence! Food is glorious and prices are very reasonable. The owners are very charming. It was a very nice experience to eat our food inside this shop, surrounded by Tuscany's specialties such as wine bottles, olive oil etc.
On our last day, we asked the owners to prepare for us the best of their best that included cuts of different types of cheese and cold cuts accompanied by bread and bruscettas with typical sauces. This was simply amazing and financially worth it!
Cheers From Malta!

SANDWICHES and SUPER TUSCAN CRUSHED! High quality products and sauces REALLY CRAFT. Pairings created special "no accident" and other classics. All seasoned KINDNESS, Low Price and CLEANING
Reviewed By Becbe22 - Liverpool, United Kingdom
For incredible fresh Tuscan meat, fresh Tuscan cheese, fresh veg and fresh focaccia... this place is a must!
It is quite hidden in the streets of Florence and from the outside you might not spot it but it’s worth the search.
The food is amazing, the owner will help you go through the menu and nothing takes your fancy he will offer suggestions for you.
I had focaccia with Tuscan ham, pecorino, fried white onions, honey, and balsamic.... for €3.00... incredible.
The place is not fancy but for a pit stop whilst exploring Florence it is absolutely ideal.
The locals were all coming to get their lunches before going back to work in their shops... I think that says it all!

Reviewed By Audrie S
We came here because it was recommended by someone who used to live in Florence. Sandwiches with artisanal cold cuts and unique sauces from local farms and vendors. Staff took special care to explain menu and make recomendations. My salame picante artigianale with crema of eggplant and pecorino was fantastic. The local wine served from a barrel (in plastic cups) made it even better and we forgot that we were perched on a bench to eat (mostly takeaway, with some bench seating).

La Dispensa is located on the town piazza in the center of Strada. We were on our way to Castello di Gabbiano and stopped here for what turned out to be the perfect lunch. We were welcomed like long-lost friends by La Dispensa family: Gregorio, the head chef, his wife, and his father Andrea. The beautiful October weather allowed us to enjoy the outdoor garden Seating. The specialty of the house is a delicious platter of local meat and cheese. We also shared a half pizza, freshly made to order. Paired with local Chianti wine, we could have lingered there all afternoon. This is a lovely stop on the Via Chiantigiana (SR 222). I recommend you find your way here!

we have chosen this restaurant for a special reunion with friends from Bangkok & cannes.
four of us are not big eaters so we asked if we could share 2 entrees before our main courses. the manager (in suits) said that he will ask the chef if our request is possible & never returned to our table.
the waiter who took care of our table was much more pleasant than the manager.
ended up, we were charged with 4 entrees instead of 2 without being told. we only found out about this after we left the restaurant!!
the food is good but it is a real pity when you are not very straight forward to your clients!!
