Ristorante Frescobaldi Firenze

Ristorante Frescobaldi is located on the beautiful Piazza della Signoria. Right across of the restaurant is the Palazzo Vecchio and the Fountain of Neptune. Just a bit further from the restaurant is the Loggia dei Lanzi with its many Renaissance sculptures. No wonder the square is always swarming with tourists. To say it is a busy location is an understatement. The terrace of ristorante Friscobaldi is a delightful heaven of culinary peace though. The food Frescobaldi serves is inspired by the Tuscan cuisine but with a twist. We had spaghetti tirrena Frescobaldi: spaghetti with a tartare of red shrimps, a cream of broccoli and pistachios. A lovely, beautiful dish; the cream of broccoli slightly spicy which was a delightful combination with the delicate raw shrimps. The tartare of Tuscan Maremma beef and black truffle was completely different in character but just aa good. Our primis included gnocchi with a lamb ragout and crispy artichokes; turbot with artichokes and local ham. We concluded the meal with Zabaglione with caramelised orange and a semifreddo of pistachio. All accompanied with an Attems Sauvignon from the Friuli region. Surprisingly, the restaurant is very affordable, we paid around € 150 for the meal. Service is hospitable and efficient.

Frescobaldi is our go to place when visiting Florence. A great ambiance, views of Piazza della Signoria and outstanding service are just part of the reason we are repeat guests. Add to that the amazing food, the many options both fish and meat lovers, the top quality, Frescobaldi driven wine list, at extremely reasonable prices, and it becomes clear why this is our restaurant of choice locally. Do yourself a favor, avoid the numerous tourist traps in the area and head to Frescobaldi!

We have dinned there 6 times during our two week stay in Florence! The amazing team Luciano and Mirko were always welcoming. The food is ridiculous in terms of the taste and quality. This was even back in 2020, I’m sure the restaurant is now even better. Looking forward to seeing the team again!

The food was just ok, everything was under seasoned. We were seated in a back room alone, even though there were empty tables in the main dining room. We did overhear the host tell the waiter that we were American. So my take away is be forewarned, if you're American, you might get substandard service in a backroom.

The food we ordered was very average. The lobster pasta was not the best, and neither was the ossobuco and burrata. Best part of our meal was the tiramisu - I would go back just for that and maybe to enjoy the outdoor seating. Otherwise, the food is nothing to write home about ! And there are many, many other restaurants that had much better food at better prices so this was a miss for me.

I have been to Florence four times and this is one of mu favorite restaurants in all of Italy.

Elegance combines with attentive service and delicious food in this ideally located restaurant right in the heart of Florence. Loved the opportunity to try their 3 supertuscan red wine offering!

The quality of the food left me absolutely speechless, especially the pasta dishes which were truly exceptional. The cacio e pepe and the pappardelle with wild boar ragù were my top picks, but honestly, every dish I tasted was outstanding. The pasta was so good that I found myself returning to the restaurant multiple days in a row during my stay in Florence.In addition to the remarkable food, the restaurant boasts breathtaking views of Piazza della Signoria that only added to the overall dining experience. However, the service was disappointingly slow.
