Ristorante Murales Bistrò — Restaurant in Florence

After a lot of positive reviews, we’ve decided to have dinner at Murales Bistro. We’ve passed the entrance of the restaurant because it was hardly noticeable. After we’ve found the place the first thing we saw that the lighting was too bright and there were only 6 guests having dinner. We’ve decided to stay and that was a big mistake. The host was only interested in one other couple that was in the restaurant. Even though there were only 6 guests inside the host hardly had eyes for us and it took a while before he noticed us.

I was there for a dinner and had a great experience thanks the owner and the kitchen staff The place is really cozy and the atmosphere is very intimate and clean The food fresh and authentic, very well prepared and straight on the presentation I had the pappa al pomodoro crocche and the tagliolino with pecorino cheese sauce and raw shrimps Both dishes were well prepared, nice crunchy and tasty the crocche not greasy at all, and the fresh pasta tagliolino was nicely prepared and very well balanced with the pecorino fondue cheese and the raw shrimps tartare on top. The owner Kadri was very knowledgeable about all the wine list and all the food from the menu, very good suggestion on the pairing with my dishes I will definitely be back soon and can’t wait to try other...
