The staff was extremely helpful in understanding the menu and with recommendations for both food and wine. We started with 3 antipastos - the crustinis, the beef tongue and the herring carpaccio. All phenomenal. I would never order beef tongue typically, but trust me do it! It's delicious! Then we had the artichoke lasagne, roasted chicken and rabbit penne. Again, all fantastic. We ended the evening with the chocolate cake that was light, airy, and gone within a minute .

Quite simply, this will be a "Top 10" dining experience for you. Maybe Top 10 forever or "Top 10"…read moreof the year (if you dine out a lot). Upon getting ready to leave, the proprietor and our server asked how everything was. My reply was "Perfect" - and it was. They humbly said "perfect is reserved for God". Very fair. So that is where I said "Top 10." It will be in your Top 10 also. Everything was prepared there - everything. I tried some things I would never try in the US, and they were all delicious. We were with 2 older children, who often have different taste buds than adults, and they loved it. If you dine there, ask for their recommendations and do not be afraid to try something new. If I am anywhere near Firenze (Florence for my US folks), Da Delfina will absolutely be a stop for a "almost perfect" meal. If you're vising Florence, drive out to the countryside, enjoy the beauty, and have an exceptional meal at Da Delfina. I can make a very safe wager that it will be in your Top 10 also.

The restauranteur greeted us so warmly and made us feel welcome. We're from NY, USA and know about 3 words in Italian but the service was so good that that wasn't even an issue. We were presented with an English menu that was very detailed and had many options to choose from. The waiter gave us suggestions based on what they liked and even encouraged us to step outside of our comfort zone and try new wines and food. I had the steak with truffles and a side of potatoes. Whatttttttttttttttttt?!!!!!!!! I am now alive. Lol. It was so tender and juicy! I ordered it medium. I got a little scoff for it. But listen. Medium was cutting it close for me. Everyone else's meat was medium rare-rare. I'm not that bold. It came out so perfect and juicy. The potatoes were seasoned so well and had the right amount of crisp on the edges. They also gifted us with a complimentary glass of Prosecco. My husband had the steak in a rosemary creamy sauce. Soooo flavorful. We're going back tonight. My mouth is watering thinking of the truffles. We also had a bottle of the house wine, which came from the restauranteur's own winery. It paired so well with our dinner. This dinner was an experience like no other. I took dessert to go. The tiramisu and another creamy pastry dish (can't remember the name!) was the perfect nightcap. Fiore is definitely an authentic Italian restaurant with authentic food. Definitely a highlight of our trip.
