Als Zölie ist es ein Essensparadies. Eine vollständige eigene Speisekarte. Endlich mal normal bestellen wie der Rest der Welt. Wenn wir nochmal nach Florenz reisen, kommen wir auf jeden Fall wieder. Vielen Dank für dieses Restaurant-Erlebnis!!!😋😋😋

Could not even cut your steak. The potatoes came out cold. My son had the t bone and he said it was so chewy. Very disappointing.

I absolutely loved this place we went twice. The salads are wonderful and the minestrone soup and pici. My husband ate the salmon both times, one of his favorites ever preparing. It’s got such a cozy and romantic vibe it’s like only you know about it. Except you can’t have a perfect night every time, eventually some loud Americans or Aussies find you. Despite occasional noise they can’t help, the service is so gracious and kind, highly recommended!!

Best meal we’ve had in Florence! Wait staff was fantastic. Dinner was amazing. Our antipasti was the Caprese salad. I had the lamb, my friend had the boar stew, we shared a pistachio cheesecake. Highly recommend!! Not to mention it was a gluten free restaurant!!

Prezzi troppo alti rispetto alla qualità del cibo. Conto di oltre 80€, più alto di circa 20 euro rispetto alla media di quanto e cosa si è mangiato, a causa di prezzi troppo alti per, ad esempio: calice vino della casa (7.5€), dolce (7.5€), coperto (3.5€), primo non di pesce (17€), etc. Tutto non giustificabile a mio parere per qualità e servizi offerti.

The service was very friendly. Make sure to make a reservation as we saw a lot of people turned away. The house wine is delicious at a fantastic price. We focused on local dishes that turned out to be absolutely amazing. We were limited on time, I wish we would have been able tomproperly savoir everything. Highly recommend!

Staff were slow and soulless. My pasta was pleasant enough, but my partner's wild boar stew was bland, gristley and contained fragments of bone. We tried to speak to 2 staff about it, but they weren't interested. This was the most expensive, but the most disappointing meal we had in Florence.
