This restaurant is sensational. We'd booked some weeks ago (essential for an 8pm slot) having read the reviews and we were even more impressed than we'd expected. We had the eel and beef tartare starters and then both had the octopus signature main dish. The tartare was a reinvention in the best possible way and the eel, done with an oriental twist, was delicate yet full of flavour. The octopus was remarkable: soft and yielding inside but beautifully chargrilled on the outside. The Italian wines we were recommended to go with our food - a full bodied rosé and a beautiful 90% chardonnay white - were not only perfect but incredibly good value. And the service was on a par, attentive and informative without ever being pushy.
Not for nothing is it rated as number 2 out of more than 2,000 Florence restaurants. It's worth coming to Florence for this...

Read moreA hidden gem located on a pedestrian street in Florence. The place had fantastic service as well as amazing food, we tried 2 of the pastas as well as one of their pizzas.
Both pastas had lots of flavour, but i prefered mine with bell pepper sauce and prawns, super fresh and tasty.
The salsiccia pasta was also amazing and was packed with flavour, super tender sausage and great smokey sauce with herbs.
The pizza was unique with a thick and fluffy sour dough bread, topped with high quality burrata and prosciutto. We loved it.
They had 3 different red wines and we decided to go with a smooth aromatic wine recommended by the waiter, it did not dissapointed.
Would higly recommend...
