We ate here for dinner on Sunday May 27, 2011 and the service was unacceptable because the place was so busy, particularly with tourist groups. The wait staff was cheerful but the place was very understaffed for the number of patrons and the waiter seemed to forget us even though we were right on the aisle. The fried zucchini flowers...

This was recommended by our hotel and we enjoyed it so much that we ate there twice during our week in Florence. It is busy, but the waiters were very attentive and the food was delicious -- with a large choice available on the menu. The atmosphere was vibrant, cozy, and warm. More

It took us a while to get to the restaurant as we were following the GPS of a mobile phone. But once we got there, the experience was so worth it. The quality of the food was astonishing, the Management and Service were perfect. And it was all a pure Italian experience! Very recommended! More

We enjoyed everything about the place. The service was attentive and the food was excellent. My husband loved the veal in lemon sauce and we both enjoyed the pear & cheese salad and risotto with zucchini flowers and saffron. We went to celebrate our 2nd anniversary and it was the perfect place. We received complementary prosecco as soon as we... More

We booked a table on a Friday night in Florence after reading the reviews. Unlike the other two restaurants on the same road, it doesn't come with outside seating but don't let that put you off. As soon as we entered we were shown to a table towards the back of the restaurant and greeted by a charismatic waiter full... More

Would recommend making a reservation, although we were accommodated without one. The menu offers a wide variety and our entrees were excellent. More

We ate there with another American couple on a Friday night (with reservations). All the food was great -- antipasti, ravioli, bistecca, lots of fresh asparagus. We're not foodies, but this was the kind of food that would make us foodies. Friendly, helpful waitstaff, including dealing with our lack of more than basic Italian. Wine selection was OK, not great.

Wow - we think we have a new slogan "not a foodie? we can convert you!". Regards our wines, we understand your point of view. We tend to favour less famous labels, and of course particularly from the Tuscan region and our home region of Abruzzo. We are all qualified or qualifying sommerlier, next time trust us and let us...

Restaurant opens at 7:00 p.m. we were there before 6:30. I am so glad that we sat in San Marco Piazza across the street and waited for one of our best meals while in Italy. The soup was fantastic as was the rest of our meal. I would definitely go back. It is best to have reservations as customers without... More

I went to this establishment a few weeks ago. The food was good, but not great. However, I was told to ask for the waiter Kush. They were right. He made the evening. He was quite charming . He was nervous when I asked him who Kush was. I think he thought I was the police. When I told him... More

Kush has nothing to fear from the police - except for maybe a fine for oversleeping in the mornings! Thank you for your comments. More
