Golden View Firenze

Had dinner here tonight on the recommendation of good food and views. The restaurant spans across numerous rooms. The room we were in was half full on a Saturday evening. The service was ok, not engaging leaving me with a cold impression. The meals were amazing. We shared an entree of rabbit which was really tasty. Balanced flavours and a nice tang with included liver. For mains we opted for the steak with mashed potatoes and the duck tagliatelle. The steak was tender and perfectly rare, the potatoes creamy and rich with flavours of butter. The tagliatelle was cooked perfectly and the duck was minced which I’d never had before. The pomegranates gave a touch of sour and crunch which perfectly complemented the dish. The feature of the restaurant is of course the view of the Ponte Vecchio which was lovely (but seems odd to me looking at the back of shops but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ) See the menu pics for prices which felt high after travelling Italy for the past few weeks. Only downside was a feeling the staff were doing the motions and were not overly interested in engaging.

Beautiful spot for a special meal. Lovely setting and views of the Arno River. More of a fine dining restaurant and the prices reflect that but it’s not outrageous. The scallops and duck were excellent as are the mushrooms. Great service

Amazing family meal at Golden View restaurant. This is a gem of Florence. Amazing views, great atmosphere, fantastic service and great food. This is seafood lovers paradise with large selection of fresh seafood. Meal: Kids - Pizza with Fresh Mozzarella- 6/5 - amazing. Pasta Pomodoro- 6/5 - basic yet elegant. The kids loved their meal. Adults: Meat and Cheese plate - 5/5 - great selection and combo presented. Pumpkin leaves tempura- 4.5/5 - very interesting first having this. The home made Italian bread was amazing with fresh salted butter. The star was fresh oil olive- just as some black pepper and salt. This was meal by itself. 6/5. Meals: Rabbit - 4/5 - nice, great presentation. Acquired taste. Bologense Pasta - 5/5 - fresh pasta was cooked to prefection. Linguine with clams - 4/5 - all good, fresh clams. Just bit salty for my taste. Dish could have used some acid and black pepper. Dessert: blueberry tart 6/5 amazing. Great family meal. The large bed outside bathroom is inviting. Open kitchen is great, especially the pastry kitchen next to bar.

We had planned our wedding in Florence and needed a beautiful venue for a rehearsal dinner. This seemed to be THE spot to have it. We had never tried this restaurant before scheduling for our rehearsal dinner, but trusted our gut and went ahead with it. Upon arriving on our scheduled date, we were amazed to come in to a beautifully seated room facing the ponte vecchio and were served the most amazing meal I’ve had in all of Florence. All of our guests had shared their appreciation for the tastefulness and class of the restaurant and they especially appreciated the views. Incredible is all I can say!!!!

If you want a great view with a disappointing meal, this place is for you! I'll start off by saying this view is very nice. However, keep in mind that you're eating on a very still river, so towards the end of the night, the glass window was covered with bugs. With that said, the service was horrific. When we walked in the staff told us that they don't open for 10 more minutes even thought we had a reservation for that exact time. The waiter was extremely awkward and would just linger or stand behind us without addressing us or asking us if we were ready to order etc. We had to ask him if he was here to take our order. Waiting staff also barely came to the table to check how food was. This is also a small detail, but as you're eating bread, crumbs tend to go all over the table. Now normally this isn't a big deal, but when dinner items are 60, 70+, you expect crumbs to be scraped off the table. If you want to charge like you're classy, play the part. As for the food, it was bland. Nothing blew me away, for the price it's unacceptable. We got the seared scallops, crab salad, swordfish, and pistachio cake. Update: They took this down to silence my review, and that tells you exactly what you need to know! Review lowered from 2 to 1 because of the manipulation.

We recently dined at the restaurant and had an excellent experience. The table provided rewarding views of the River Arno and the Ponte Vecchio. Service was amazing! His recommendation concerning the Chianti proved very popular. The food was excellent and across all the different courses we sampled. The view was outstanding a special night to remember in Florence, Italy 🇮🇹

Our waiter, Marges, made our experience a 6-star evening! He didn’t miss when it came to recommendations and he was very conversational when necessary. He made our time in Florence feel complete with our phenomenal date here at Golden View! The food itself was incredible and really captured the moments and culture of Florence. Highly recommend Golden View. Don’t miss it if you can help it!

My husband and I are visiting Florence and went here for a date. Our server was Marges and he was phenomenal. He was so helpful and kind - we do not speak a lick of Italian and we still felt right at home. The food was wonderful, and the service was even better.
