Restaurants cuisine du monde Florence - Firenze

One of the oldest restaurants in the city, a historic and essential address for the quality of its dishes and its privileged position in front of the cathedral... what more could you ask for? A history that has lasted since 1882 and despite its notoriety, the restaurant has managed to preserve its Tuscan soul without omitting a little innovation. To try, tortelloni stuffed with smoked scamorza with saffron potato cream and courgettes. The terrace on the cathedral square is a privilege, otherwise the room offers a Tuscan setting with its red brick vaults.

A historic site, recently restructured, which showcases testimonies of the past such as the "sala del Buco", where you can admire ^14th-century frescoes and the well dating back to 1711. A warm and welcoming place to savour traditional Tuscan recipes: tripe Florentine style, ossobuco, not forgetting tagliata and bistecca alla fiorentina cooked on a charcoal grill. Pastas and pastries are homemade, and the cellar boasts 200 labels. Its terrace on Florence's most famous square is a real treat!

Located in the ancient village of Varlungo, just five minutes from the historic center, il Vecchio Cigno is a great opportunity to get off the beaten track and enjoy authentic, affordable cuisine in a Florentine atmosphere. Situated on the banks of the Arno, it's an old Tuscan house that has retained its rustic style. Natural cuisine based on fresh produce for typically Florentine dishes: fresh pasta, meat cooked over the coals in front of the customers and, to finish, homemade cakes. A must for gourmets!

In the district of Sant'Ambrogio, in front of the market, the elegant and authentic bistro Gilda offers a typical Florence cuisine, closely following the seasons. The welcome is warm, by Gilda herself, the mistress of the place. The recipes and cooking are precisely mastered: you will have to taste the pappa al pomodoro, a truly Tuscan dish. In fine weather, it is pleasant to have lunch on the terrace, but be careful, the tables are quickly taken over. The menu is in Italian, please do not hesitate to ask for advice.

A place well known in Florence for many years that differs from the traditional trattoria with a refined approach to Tuscan recipes in an elegant setting. A delicate cuisine that adapts to everyone, between fish, meat or vegetarian dishes, prepared with fresh seasonal products. At lunchtime: an abundant dish and a dessert, the ideal formula at the right price. In the evening, an à la carte menu is offered to taste the house's specialities. All this is accompanied by wines selected by the owner, for a discovery of new wines.

Close to Dante's house, one of the few addresses in Florence where you can find excellent Tuscan cuisine at really affordable prices. This small friendly osteria has some nice surprises in store for those who will be lucky enough to have a table - arrive early! The cuisine is simple, classic, local and really delicious, don't miss the ribollita (Tuscan soup), the tasty lampredotto bollito (for gut lovers), or the creamy tiramisu! The welcome of the ladies who officiate in the kitchen and in the room is very warm.

A beautiful find in the San Niccolò district, located between the Rose Garden and the Bardini Garden! Alberto Navari and his mother, Giuseppina, have created an elegant, friendly and original place here. Indeed, the dishes, all delicious and reasonably priced, can be enjoyed around a central island. The experience is all the more user-friendly. Zeb Gastronomia is therefore a restaurant that honours traditional family cuisine, but it is also a delicatessen that the inhabitants of the district love.

With such a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, locals can't help but flock here. Slightly removed from the main tourist flows that animate the Tuscan capital, this trattoria gives the opportunity to dive into the specialties of the region, while offering a modern cuisine. A good vegetable soup as a starter(ribollita) will whet the appetite for a more "tasty" second course such as "fried everything" (chicken, vegetables, rabbit)... Of course, nourishing pasta dishes are on the menu and will allow you to save a few euros.

At the same time osteria full of flavours, pointed enoteca and gourmet tartuferia, this address, located near Ponte Vecchio, is praised. True traditional cuisine concocted over the seasons with organic products, complicit service and friendly setting, where every nook and cranny is used to hang wooden wine boxes. Part of the menu is devoted to fresh Tuscan truffles. Otherwise, push the door for a wine tasting to discover small, little-known estates.

This restaurant with the decor Tuscan proposes a simple cooking and traditional, without much rather tasty originality but however. The strong point is the small terrace installed in a quiet street in full center of Florence. During the high season, it is the perfect place to escape a few moments the tourist tumult.

Traditional Japanese restaurant. The head himself is from the land of the Sun-Levant. Sushi, temakis and sashimis.

This address disappoints the locals a little, but continues to delight visitors. It's up to each of us! One thing is sure, the setting is successful and the wine list is rich. The cooking is simple, the accompaniments are excellently cooked on embers. But we're still disappointed by the famous Florentine steak, too dry. Very good plates of appetizers including country pate or fennel salami.

It is difficult to find a better price-quality ratio in terms of products. We enjoy the freshness of the food of this small trattoria located in the heart of the covered market of Sant'Ambrogio, in the Santa Croce district. On the menu, first courses (pasta, risotto, lasagna, ravioli...), vegetables and meat (beef stew,chicken, Florentine tripe, prosciutto...). Fast service, ideal if you want an express lunch before a visit, and very popular atmosphere, sometimes even noisy, especially during the lunch period.

The best Indian restaurant in Florence! Opened in 2000, it offers a typical Punjabi cuisine with the unavoidable nan and tandoori. Special attention is given to vegetarian customers.

On Via Ghibellina, one of the longest streets in Florence, Tijuana is far from hitting the upper echelons of gastronomy. But the welcome is warm, the dishes generous, and the menu allows you to escape a little from the many Italian restaurants that occupy the historic centre. Head for Mexico with tacos, empanadas, burritos, quesadillas, or even original cocktails. The clientele is mainly students, and mainly foreigners. In the evening, the debates come alive and the atmosphere rises to a new level.

Near the central market, a traditional family-run trattoria, known for serving fish on Fridays and Saturdays according to tradition(baccalà alla fiorentina). Massimo, Aldo and Francesca take turns in the dining room, at the bar or in the kitchen to satisfy you, in this century-old place with a relaxed atmosphere, for a tasting of typical dishes and wines. All types of pasta and Tuscan-style salads are easily available. Good value for money. Next door, the management has opened a fiaschetteria, for a quicker bistronomic formula.

Between Ponte Vecchio and Pitti Palace, one would think that it is impossible to enjoy a quiet meal. And yet... by moving away a little from the flow of tourists, we discover this charming little floweredsquare della Passera, and this restaurant with terrace that extends its arms to visitors. The interior decoration is a clever blend of old stones and soft contemporary colours. The cuisine is typically Tuscan and tasty, with a touch of inventiveness. Customers from the region and elsewhere. It is better to book.

In San Marco Square, this restaurant is a pure moment of gastronomic happiness. It has a very discreet front, which makes it even more authentic. Over the past ten years, brothers Gianni and Aldo have created a friendly and unpretentious atmosphere that satisfies both local and international customers. The "chefs" and their dynamic team always know how to make a real Tuscan cuisine, refined and particularly tasty, appreciated. Beautiful wine list, smiling service and reasonable prices. Nothing to complain about!

Let's take a walk out of the traditional restaurants in the centre to discover a particular and well-known address of the Florentines. Here, the flavours of the cuisine are up to its reputation. This small restaurant, located in an ancient residence on the road towards the Florentine hills, welcomes its guests in a typical Tuscan trattoria decoration with a small Provencal touch. Authentic recipes, made with fresh local produce. The diversity of the wine list completes the picture. A place worth discovering!

A cosy and intimate atmosphere for this small trattoria, perfect to discover the true Tuscan cuisine prepared according to tradition (grandmother's recipes). The four seasons arrive on the table: truffled mushrooms in autumn, wild boar with almonds in winter, baccalà all'isolana in spring and antipasti in summer... And when you discover Toci, the chef, a Japanese man in love with Tuscany, it will quickly become easy to understand why the flavours on offer taste so exotic... An address that, from a gastronomic point of view, remains quite surprising.

Rivoire, on the terrace still very full, has existed since 1882. Coffee, pastry, very chic tea lounge and delicious chocolate went panna (cream). 

Little known by tourists, and frequented by the Italian gratin and discerning foreigners, this chic restaurant is located in a quiet passage between the Place du Dôme and the borgo San Lorenzo, Florence's historic heart. Refined Tuscan cuisine, modern decoration and intimate atmosphere. A terrace is prepared daily as soon as the beautiful days come back.

Here is another address that takes advantage of its unique setting to attract customers. And it's worth being seduced, since the food served here is far from being bad. But how to stick to the dish and concentrate on your plate, when you find yourself eating in the old crypt of a ten centuries old church! A very popular address, as there are less and less in Florence. Reservations are recommended in the evening.

Under the supervision of the rabbi of Florence, Rav Joseph Levi offers kosher cuisine with several vegetarian dishes in a simple but pleasant setting. The restaurant adjoins the synagogue and the attentive staff never fails to tell anecdotes about the construction of one of the most beautiful places of worship in Italy. An excellent rallying point for the Florentine Jewish community, but also for travellers from all over the world who love falafels, because here the recipe for chickpea dumplings is mastered. Nice kosher wine list.

An often high sound volume, a place steeped in history, a family and refined cuisine when necessary, Il Guscio logically receives the jury's congratulations! The menu offers very good culinary experiments, particularly in terms of fish, such as the creamy palamita con robiola e aneto (bonito carpaccio on a bed of whole cow's milk fresh cheese, Lombardy speciality, sprinkled with dill). This small, popular but sophisticated canteen is undoubtedly one of the best addresses in its category. Reservation recommended.

Elegant and warm, this restaurant, located not far from Piazza della Libertà, offers a typical Tuscan cuisine, yet revisited and creative. Inside, when the house is full, you quickly feel cramped. If the content of the dishes is exquisite and seasonal, it is not easy to be well seated, as the chairs are not very comfortable. The experienced chef, Carlo, knows how to make wonderful things with simple dishes, such as fresh pasta, Florentine soup or even small truffle ravioli.

A fixed menu with 2 dishes, contorno, wine and water. Specialities of parpadelle al anchovies di cinghiale. The restaurant is very clean. A good address for breakfast at a low price.

The Celestino remains extremely well known and recognized by amateurs of good tables in Florence. It must be said that the house has some 150 years of experience. Inside, the restaurant reserves treasures like its Etruscan walls or a fresco painted by ceiling in one of its rooms. For those who prefer to stay outside, two flower terraces are open in summer. Old Tuscan cuisine and best guaranteed recipes.

Very close to the Badia Fiorentina church,an address frequented mainly by young people during the first service and then by regulars, which offers a creative cuisine whose specialities are appreciated: soup of the day, chicory gnocchi, rice with green sauce, various fresh pasta, tagliata, many pastries and good chianti. The colourful decoration of the restaurant, with many plates on the walls, is particularly amusing. Good atmosphere, refined food... everything is done to spend an excellent time at the table, and this since 1978!

This is a great place to discover the charm of an authentic Florentine trattoria, open since 1927, located at the end of Borgo alla Croce ("the street of 100 stores"). The Barrino's decor is meticulous (see the hall of mirrors!) and each object has its own importance. The recipes are 100% Tuscan, with bistecca alla fiorentina a particular highlight, accompanied by fresh produce from the surrounding countryside. The menu gives pride of place to seasonal produce and homemade dishes.

Want to get taller? Welcome to one of the most incredible places in Florence. This restaurant overlooks the Arno and the Oltrarno district from its magnificent terrace. By day, by night, at sunset... it is difficult to say when is the best time to spend there, as Florence changes its face every hour of the day. On the plate side, gastronomic cuisine influenced by different Mediterranean flavours. To enjoy rooftop at a lower cost, you can also opt for aperitivo, from 7pm to 9pm.

The Oltrarno is also eclectic at the table! The proof is in the pudding at this address, run since 1998 by Italian chefs with a passion for Japanese gastronomy. It takes advantage of the proximity of the sea to play with the recipes, the freshness of the fish often guaranteeing the success of the culinary magic potion they have concocted. The desserts, all homemade, are also a pleasant surprise. With its neat design and clean lines, the restaurant attracts Florentine customers who like to dress up and enjoy themselves around a table.

An extraordinary place near the churches of Santa Croce and Sant'Ambrogio. This former 15th century convent, converted into a prison from 1832 to 1983, and then reborn as a residential complex, gave birth in its centre to this charming restaurant with an inspired name. Particular, original, original and faithful to its origins, each corner has kept the imprint of its previous destinations. The house offers a traditional cuisine of quality and excellent pizzas. A wide range of Italian and international artisanal beers to accompany them.

Beautiful trattoria room popular and rustic. The cuisine is traditional and simple. The address is not one of the good tips because everyone seems to know it... In season, it is most often necessary to queue in the late afternoon, before the doors open, to have a chance to get a table. Once served, it is easy to understand why this place is so popular. Here, good food goes hand in hand with simple and light dishes. One of the great Milanese specialities is served here, osso buco, a veal shank gently cooked in stew.

In the heart of the city's most touristy district, this restaurant, both cheap and friendly, offers both typical Tuscan recipes and the essential pizzas. If the boss is on duty, she prepares the dough directly. It is even possible to see it at work. Very lively and open for more than 35 years, it attracts Florentines as well as tourists and students. Decoration evoking the style of the 1930s, in a huge room for a restaurant in the centre. Relaxed atmosphere and pleasant service.

Often the best addresses are small restaurants that dedicate time, experience and passion to their cuisine. Il Vezzo is one of them. Just a stone's throw from the Mercato Centrale, in a warm and friendly atmosphere, it offers a menu of Florentine and Tuscan traditions to discover the freshness of the selected products and their incomparable aromas. Harmonious dishes for a balanced cuisine, a real tribute to the richness of the Tuscan land. The place is pleasant and tastefully decorated: a good compromise between elegance and Tuscan style!

A marriage between two travelling minds, Roberta and Oliver Betancourt, each with their own background and affinities. Chef Oliver, with passion and delicacy, transmits, in the creation of his recipes, his sensations and his know-how. His cuisine is a journey between Venezuela, his country of origin, France, Spain, Asian countries and of course Florence. Let's meet for a wonderful culinary experience! Dishes told by the owner, Roberta, who is also a sommelier, and who knows how to recommend the right wine. A contemporary cuisine rich in emotions.

A privileged position for this place, in the heart of the historic center, a stone's throw from Palazzo Pitti, authentic in its cuisine, in its services and in its style. Warm and friendly as tradition dictates, it offers a journey to discover Tuscan recipes revisited by chef Luca Cai, such as lampredotto presented with modernity. Dishes that exude the freshness of the raw materials, where the chef expresses all his know-how and culinary passion. An explosion of aromas and flavors in every bite. Excellent wines!

An address to discover in the San Frediano district, born as a simple Enoteca, as shown by its typical entrance, today The Barrique, while maintaining an exemplary cellar. It offers a traditional Tuscan cuisine that relies on daily raw materials to exhale the aromas of its recipes. The menu changes according to the season and availability of the dishes, which are well conceived and well presented. Another asset is the warm and friendly atmosphere of the place. A plus, a small internal terrace very pleasant in the beautiful season.

An address that perfectly combines the pleasure of the palate with the pleasure of the place, a small marvel located in a medieval building rich in history and secrets. The imprint of the centuries is strongly present and well highlighted by the owner who has preserved the authenticity of the walls, the vaults and the antique objects carefully preserved, the medieval well being the emblem. For a place like this, excellent cuisine is a must: refined and delicate dishes of Tuscan cuisine with a touch of innovation. Excellent cocktail bar.
