Review

“The restaurant is located in Plazza Di San Giovanni. The dining room is located downstairs and has a cozy atmosphere. Being our last night in Florence, the wife and I decided to splurge and order the "Menu Degustazione"(menu tasting) for 40 euro each. It was a 5 course meal that was outstanding. “ -
