We ate at Bottega on our visit to Florence last week and found this to be one of the dining highlights of our trip. The restaurant is run by two brothers, one a chef who is obviously passionate about his cooking. The atmosphere is charming and more sophisticated than a local trattoria. The food was outstanding. We started with artichokes... More

A stylish, charming resuarant - just a stone's throw from the Duomo. They use fresh seasonal ingredients, cokked to perfection and served with panache and pride. Friendly, knowleageable staff who quite rightfully take pride in the establishment. Superb variety of pork - best in Firenze. More

Our dining experience at this restaurant couldn't have been more perfect. The meal we had was not only delicious in every respect, the service we received was warm, gracious and refined. The space was cozy and initmate, and not stuffy. We ordered the tasting menu and every single dish we were served from the amuse bouche to dessert was inventive,... More

We have been going to this restaurant for 3 years and have taken friends and family there, all to rave reviews. A couple of times in winter, there was only one other table occupied. Now it seems to have been discovered and I hope we can still get a table! After several years in Florence, one gets tired of the... More

We were staying about 5 min from the duomo... We walked (direction away from river) and it's about 20 min on foot. It is away from the tourist trappy areas and was full of locals. It's warm, cozy and calm. Francesco (chef) and his brother were both very friendly and accommodating. We did the 5 course tasting with dessert and... More

Our two dinners here (it was so good we ate there on consecutive nights) were one of the highlights of our trip to Florence. Because of our very limited Italian, our gracious and easy-going host explained the menu to us in excellent English. The food was delicious. The restaurant is not large. It has a very chic interior that feels... More

starting with the ingredients, here at La Bottega everything is just right, small and cozy, charming service, every dish is bright, straight forward, no unnecessary artistry, but still great technique and focus on freshest flavors. Highly recommend for porkaholics, and in general over any other restaurant in the Tuscan capital. More

We went to Italy on our honeymoon to eat and drink and see the sights... but mostly to eat and drink wine. We stayed at a B&B (IL GIGLIO D'ORO) across the street and decided to have dinner here after having come in for cappuccino and pastries a couple times in the morning. Having worked in a lot of restaurants... More
