Essenziale

A great restaurant! We had such a nice dinner, the service is very kind and the place has a great vibe. The food was excellent, an interesting interpretation on Italian cuisine in great quality. In our opinion the food was Michelin star worthy, in a much more comfortable price than the other options in the city. We will come back next time we’re in Florence.

What a delightful surprise. This isn’t your garden variety spaghetti and meatballs place. This is food as art, a wonderful (yet casual) fine dining establishment. We had the “sharing menu” and it was a fantastic experience. Our server was immensely professional and helpful in guiding us to food and wine selections. The space is gorgeous (and it appears to be family friendly as well). I highly recommend this place if you’re on a multi-day Florence trip and need a break from pasta + red sauce.

The most embarrassing and disappointing meal we have ever had. We always enjoy seeking out tasting menu restaurants to appreciate the creativity of the chefs. We discovered this place on Google Maps, and it had received many compliments about its creativity and tastiness. Our concerns grew when we started reading the menu; everything seemed exceedingly basic. However, we hoped that the chef could elevate these simple ingredients to a new level. Unfortunately, every course was dreadful. It was the worst dining experience we've ever paid for. The whole idea of presenting itself as a tasting menu restaurant, charging 80 euros per person, is absolutely embarrassing. A tasting menu chef should have an exceptional knowledge of ingredients to craft each menu. Every dish placed on the plate should complement the others, enhancing both the flavours and the presentation. Being creative means not just attempting to impress people. This restaurant is attempting to exude a cool and contemporary vibe, but the ambiance felt more like a staff canteen. All the furniture looked very cheap and basic, far different from the expectations one might have for a tasting menu restaurant. All the starters arrived at once, creating a chaotic and confusing dining experience. The presentation was haphazard, dishes had no character, and they were not tasty at all. We were inclined to leave after sampling all the starters, but we thought that the pasta and main dishes might alter our perspective. The pasta dishes were a complete disaster. My husband's dish was undercooked, and when we brought this to their attention, they explained, "that's the style of it." I must emphasise that it wasn't just slightly undercooked; it was only half-cooked. I ordered cold spaghetti, which had an incredibly peculiar taste. It was cold spaghetti served in a thick sauce resembling teriyaki sauce. The spaghetti was slightly undercooked but not as bad as my husband's, and the mushrooms had a sour taste that was quite off-putting. The presentation was unappetising, with an excessive amount of aonori on top, making it look like a "modded-land." Encountering such poorly executed pasta as part of a tasting menu was profoundly disappointing, and it appeared that the kitchen lacked even the most fundamental pasta cooking skills. And we know what al dente means. As for the main courses, another disaster. We ordered chicken and fish. The fish came with sweetcorn and popcorn and had an odd artificial smell when it was brought to the table. It still had bones and scales, served cold, and although they explained that it was slow-cooked so it wasn't too hot, I must regretfully say it was tough, and the slow-cooking did not seem to help at all. The chicken was presented as a whole chicken breast on the plate with some sauce on the side, and it was dry and tough as well. Now, onto the desserts. We ordered the chocolate mousse with mozzarella cheese and shiso Panna cotta. They literally placed the cheese on top of the chocolate mousse, and that was it. We found this combination to be mismatched and unpleasant. And for the Panna cotta. This dessert had a terrible presentation, an unusual taste, and it was served at an extremely cold temperature. The young lady who welcomed us was very pleasant, but as a tasting menu restaurant, I believe the staff still need improvement. They didn't react when they noticed we weren't finishing most dishes, and the explanations they provided about the food didn't make sense to us. Unless you have a desire to dine in what feels like a staff canteen with terrible food, we fail to see any reason why anyone would recommend this place.

Although, I could not order the menu set as I came alone But the food was great with the price as well as the taste. And I would love to visit again. First dish: Portobello with baked cheese was perfect and flavorful(maybe be a bit salty, for me) Main dish: Risotto raspberry, it was new to me! The taste was great, however, for me it would've been better if they added some meat to the dish! Dessert: Creme brulee was good but not wow, the creme taste was so intense in a way that it overwhelmed the other components(ice cream!)

4.4 | Food was good and incredibly creative, the chef is definitely trying to innovate which is fun to see. Given this some of the dishes were knock out and others were simply ok. Wine pairing was great and service was top notch. The atmosphere is wonderful, they have done a very nice job with the space. Overall well worth the price and would recommend folks give it a go.
