Reviews on Tuscan food in Fiesole, Province of Florence, Italy. Fiesole (Italian pronunciation: [ˈfjɛːzole]) is a town and comune of the Metropolitan City of Florence in the Italian region of Tuscany, on a scenic height above Florence, 8 kilometres (5 mi) northeast of that city. The Decameron by Giovanni Boccaccio is set in the slopes of Fiesole. Both Harvard University and Georgetown University have their centers of Italian Renaissance Studies domiciled in Fiesole.

Schiacciamatta

Tuscan "Schiacciata" and Italian "Taglieri" with cured meat, cheese and fruit. Taste also our Tuscan Chianti wine and local beer.

Mangiapepe

From the idea of a florentine young man and a calabrian young woman, the most "spicy" tuscan-calabrian panini place is arrived in Florence!

Daniele and his wife Valentina run the most incredible restaurant in the city of Florence. I always have a conversation with Daniele and he makes my experience one of a kind. They both truly care about their customers, and make the best sandwich I have ever tried in my entire life. If you are visiting Florence and are looking for a great spot for a meal, go to Mangiapepe for both the taste and the experience. This is my favorite place to eat in all of Italy, I recommend to anyone looking for a great meal and an unforgettable experience.

We have eaten here on several occasions and each time the food is well-prepared and tasty. I ordered the octopus with pasta and vegetables and my husband has eaten both beef and chicken, all enjoyable. The service is friendly and the menu can be translated into English if necessary. The house wine is perfect for us and the prices seem reasonable. Recommend!

This is a lovely little Italian restaurant and the food and wine is just amazing but the tagliate is just the best in fiesole/Florence and I've been here 3 weeks now eating out in alot of restaurant's all over town but I keep coming back to this place for the tagliate can not be beaten here. Great for all types of eaters but if u like your steak it's a must.

We ended up here for lunch by accident, and what a delight! Located on the hills of Fiesole about a 30’ taxi ride from the Duomo, it is an oasis of calm with great views. The pastas are flavourful, and service the friendliest possible. Apparently, main courses are excellent here. Almost all other customers were local - always a good sign.

Piatti e Fagotti

Reviewed By LesterRamoutar

This tiny gem of a restaurant, perched at the edge of the mountain village of Fiesole is well worth the bike ride out of Florence. This food is simple and hearty but utterly delicious, rustic Tuscan cooking. First courses of risotto with lamb's heart and home made pasta with aubergine and tomato followed by main courses of sumptuously sweet tripe stew and succulently tender neck fillet of lamb with confit like potatoes with rosemary were all superb. Young, friendly front of house staff were extremely welcoming despite us not having a reservation. There was also an excellent selection of small savory items available to take away.

We stopped in here without reservations and they shoe-horned us in at the last minute---but don't try that during high season as a booking is obviously obligatory. The service was very friendly and helpful and we had a simple meal. Our pasta (special of the day) was incredibly good, very nice and subtle flavor. The antipasto similarly good. We also had a fish dish for our second and I was a bit disappointed---it was prepared properly, but either the fish itself didn't have flavor or their choice of cooking method didn't work out well for that. I would still return here, but trying other dishes.

La Casa del Prosciutto

Reviewed By zapprint

We asked at the agriturismo where we could get an authentic meal, with our one missing entree, the Florentine steak.They immediately recommended this family run, comfortable, not fancy restaurant and we were not disappointed!We were greeted by a couple of generations of family members and were seated, in the empty dining room, empty because we arrived at 7:30 pm, before the normal diners.The staff was busy preparing for what was to be a busy night and were very proud of the meat they were getting ready for the diners.Not wanting to stay up all night with a full stomach, we only had the amazing garlic bread appetizer as well as the spinach side, since the steak was to be the centerpiece. You can see from the photos it was indeed amazing, I forgot to take a photo of the empty plate!The frozen lemon desert was a great way to cool the stomach down a bit.

Sunday lunch for a party of four hungry guys was excellent throughout. This is a popular local restaurant, somewhat difficult to find, but well worth the effort. The specialities are Pasta Ragu and Bistecca a la Fiorentina. With are incredible and the steak is amazing value. There is also a very good selection of antipasti and desserts. One comes our of this place well satisfied. Good ingredient and simple cooking.A good selection of local wines at very reasonable mark-ups goes well with the steak.

La Reggia degli Etruschi

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

Reviewed By Harkito

We have been to the Reggia not often but repeatedly over the course of the past ten years and last night, surrounded by scores of our fellow Americans, we really felt that it's going downhill. Of course the view is wonderful (if you're there by day). And if you don't know Tuscany, the food will be a revelation. The first clue that their standards are dropping was the mixed salads, which to judge from the color, had to have spent several days in the fridge before serving. The next was the tough, stringy beef. And the last was the 'millefoglie' dessert, which consisted of several flat, hard, square biscuits with a filling in between. In a way I don't blame them: foreigners love the ambiance, the friendly service, the setting. It's always packed. Why not cut a few corners? Given its location it will probably always do well, but serious foodies are advised to go elsewhere.se devo rispondere a questo messaggio lo rachhiudo in 2 piccole frasiin decadimento sarà Lei e non di certo Noi se volete mangiare bene venite che vi faremo passare una splendida serata con piatti ottimi e qualità altissima e soprattutto mi auguro di non avervi più come nostri ospiti Leonardo Cirillo
