<p>Excellent food. Congenial hosts and good company. Easy to find the place and make connections with the host. Near the Pitti Palace and within an easy walk from the Ponte Vechhio and the historical center.</p>

Roxy

<p>I highly recommend this experience. Was greeted by our host and hostess who were nothing short of charming and warm. Atmosphere is small and intimate very cozy. Food was superb, home-cooked but you felt like you were at a five-star restaurant.! If you're looking for something unique to add to your Florence experience this would be it .</p>
