Ruth's Kosher Jewish Restaurant — Restaurant in Florence

I went to Ruth's tonight for some iced tea, a mozarella cheese fried sandwich with breadcrumbs and an Israeli salad. The very kind owner has worked for the Jewish community for ages, and I am so impressed that he was able to keep the restaurant open even during the pandemic. He's so helpful and sweet and approachable. He's known by the entire Italian community, in which he's very involved. The food there is either dairy or vegan. I asked to sit outside where there were a few tables, and he quickly went to set them up for me there. It was a lovely evening, and it was also nice watching him interact with the locals. He said that he bakes challot for Friday morning, and you can reserve space for meals Friday night or Saturday in advance. Thank you for your years of service with...

Ruth's is one of my FAVORITE restaurants in Florence. Tonight I ordered a salmon with vegetables with hummus as a starter. Everything was absolutely delicious as always. The quality of the food is very high & always extremely tasty! They respect dietary restrictions and the service is very professional and quick. The owner of the restaurant, Simcha, is a wonderful man, kind and caring. His cooks are very nice! No matter how many times I return to the restaurant, I always leave with a smile on my face, a full stomach and on a positive note! The location of the restaurant is absolutely stunning- beside the synagogue. Thank you Simcha for such a wonderful experience and for making me feel at home with a delicious home cooked meal!! I cannot wait to come...

I am writing this review to give credit where credit is due. Ruths is truely a gem for all in Florence. It is the only kosher restaurant in the city, and it fulfills its duty as being a place for kosher keeping travelers to dine out in Florence. The prices are very reasonable, especially for a kosher establishment, and the food was very good. My favorite was the pasta with cheese sauce and mushrooms, cuppaccino, and chocolate cake . I also ordered extra food so that I can have something to eat the next day. I recommend this eatery to all!! Just be aware that the resturant is closed from 2:30-7:30 PM. I hope this restaurant continues to succeed and serve the public for many...
