Voici une adresse à part dans le quartier de San Frediano, pour sa situation au calme sur la charmante piazza del Cestello, à l'ombre de l'église éponyme du XVe siècle, pour sa clientèle huppée d'habitués et, enfin, pour son atmosphère raffinée. Dès l'entrée, un bar imposant puis un étal de poissons vous accueillent. La carte privilégie les produits de la mer, à l'image du carpaccio de crevettes ou du tartare de thon sur lit de mozzarella. Service courtois à l'image de ce restaurant de grande classe. En prime, la présentation des plats est assez exubérante !

A must in Florence.
We were a table of 2 sat at a booth for 8+ people. The table was nice, but watching the serving staff have to uncomfortably wiggle in and out of the booth for water, silverware, plates, everything…was extremely awkward.
We had a couple of good bites, but it was all just fresh seafood with very little chef intervention outside of grilling shrimp or slicing sashimi. Sashimi was undressed and the oysters were not shucked properly, so we had to dig them out ourselves. (For €8/oyster, that’s unacceptable) There were 3 complimentary chef tasting bites that…well, we almost spit out. Actually really terrible.
And then there’s the price. We’ll happily pay higher price for incredible experience and food. Unfortunately this was not that. You’re looking at almost $50 for an appetizer that is disappointing. $20 for a cocktail that was very small and not even made with the proper menu ingredients. Overall I just cannot fathom a way to justify the high prices. So much so that we grabbed our check after the first course and walked somewhere else for dinner.
Again, maybe an off night - but this was the honest experience.
