Florence restaurants recommended by locals

Il Baccaro fiorentino This charming spot is tucked away in a quiet alley in the city center, just a 10-minute walk from the train station. It’s the perfect example of finding tranquility in the midst of a bustling city. Sitting inside, listening to soft music, and sipping on a drink feels like taking a quiet breather in Florence—it’s incredibly soothing. 🥇 Must-try dishes: ✨ Baccalà mantecato all’olio d’oliva su polentina gialla (Olive oil codfish mash with fried polenta) This codfish is so delicious it could make you cry! The fish is incredibly smooth and creamy, with a hint of saltiness. Paired with the hot, crispy fried polenta, it’s impossible to stop eating. This was my top pick of the night! 🥔 Gnocchetti di patate alla “busera” (Potato gnocchi with tomato and shrimp sauce) These small potato dumplings are served with a flavorful tomato and shrimp sauce. The texture is incredibly tender and gentle on the palate. 🍄 Funghi cardoncelli “saltati”, spuma di patate e uovo poché (Sautéed chanterelle mushrooms with potato foam and poached egg) The mushrooms are sautéed to perfection, incredibly fragrant, and topped with a poached egg and potato foam. The combination of textures and flavors is rich and visually stunning. 🐮 Tagliata di manzo (Beef steak slices) For meat lovers, the beef steak slices come with steamed potatoes and sour cream. It’s satisfying without being too heavy. 💰 Average cost: €30-50 per person for a great meal. 📍 Address: Il Baccaro fiorentino, Via Palazzuolo, 80R, Firenze 🕕 Opening hours: Opens at 18:00 (closed on Mondays) 💡 Reservation tip: Highly recommended to book in advance!
