Super cute place if you just wanna chill, catch up with a friend, or have a small bite. I heard…read moretheir spritz aperol was their specialty so a friend and I came here to check out this place. Really relaxing vibe with old furniture. If you only order drinks, they give you a small platter of snacks to munch on, it being some fruit and crackers with dip. So cute! I also heard their sandwiches are good here. No sit in fee as well, but they do accept tips. Also each spritz aperol is 4 euro and is very good.

Amblè is a hidden gem in Florence's city center. It is seated in a small piazza, one block from the…read morearno and a 4 minute walk from the ponte vecchio. Whether you sit indoors or outdoors, the café provides a pleasant and beautiful escape from crowds of surrounding streets. The servers are extremely friendly. The space attracts a diverse crowd. You can find groups of people doing work, people reading, or just eating and chatting. There are people of all ages, mostly Italian, and even a few families. The restaurant is extremely aesthetically pleasing and well decorated with a variety of found furniture and antiques-- including rows of old theater seats, which were creatively used as table seating and crates of fresh fruits and vegetables lining the wall. The café has a fantastic selection of both food and drink. One can chose from a variety of sandwiches that are atypical of Florentine paninis with ingredients such as hummus. For all of their sandwiches, the crust is removed baked into delicious and crisp croutons. There is also a selection of salads, hot plates, pastries, and specials. They serve a variety of fresh, seasonal juices. The cocktail menu is extensive and includes creative, locally sourced and seasonal drinks. Amblé exemplifies style, coziness, and sustainability-- setting the eatery apart from others in Florence.

I'm almost glad this place has low ratings, because that means more space for me! I have gone to…read morethis place once a day while in Siena, and it is perfectly friendly and cozy. Good food, too. One problem with other places nearby is that there is nowhere to sit. For whatever reason many Italians swig their tiny coffees standing up, and then go about their day. Sitting around forever in a cafe isn't as much of a thing. This place has seating, and reasonably fast service although sometimes you have to flag down a waiter. Note if you're American, you get a table and then they come to you. You pay the bill at the end by taking it up to the register. There isn't counter service.

Their menu isn't as large, nor exciting as GustaPanino's menu, but the food was still really good. The inside was packed, so anyone wanting to get up and move around meant others around them needed to get up and let them out. The Greek salad was nice, but slightly different than the place next door, as it didn't have bell peppers. Their large meatball was really good, as was their lasagna. Overall, nice meal, but not my favorite place while visiting Firenze.

Our waiter was nice and we both really enjoyed our food. We ordered the caprese salad to share as a starter. My son got this huge calzone that he surprisingly finished. I ordered the filet mignon which was fantastic. The only drawback was that they brought out my son's calzone at the same time as the salad... and my filet (rare) took forever to come out after that (I eventually asked the waiter to check on it). So, for the longest time, my son and I were just waiting for my steak to come out, and then I was eating alone. :/

This spot was recommended to us…read moreby the owners of another Florentine steak restaurant when we couldn't get a seat at that restaurant. We didn't know what to expect except that Lungarno serves steak, but we just went with it. And so glad we did. The dining was upscale but didn't have any of the stuffiness one would expect from fine dining. We decided to try the seafood tasting menu which included 2 appetizers, 2 pastas, 1 main course, 1 dessert of your choice, and coffee and water. Price was set at 70 euros/person (minimum of 2 orders). They also had a non-seafood option for 60 euros (I think), but we weren't as interested in that tasting menu since it included duck, liver, and veal. Out of our seafood tasting menu, our favorites were the shrimp and white bean appetizer, the seafood risotto (so good!), and the sea bass with grilled vegetables. Desserts were also decadent and beautifully presented, paired perfectly with our cappuccinos. The staff also made a spaghetti with bolognese for our kids since that's all the wanted to eat in Italy. (Sigh.) One thing we did notice was that they mistakenly added separate dessert charges on our final bill although those were included in our tasting menu. They apologized immediately and took it off saying it was an oversight because they were pretty busy at that point in the evening. Glad we checked (as one should.) Our bill was hefty, but we felt like splurging and were glad we did!

It was odd, but actually was romantic to be seated by ourselves right next to the fireplace. Our server was very sweet and brought us a bottle of Chianti Classico. Their house Chianti that is their own brand was one of my favorite Chianti's on the whole trip. OMG so good! Then came a complimentary soup in a cute little pot, with an assorted bread basket. We started with prosciutto and burrata and holy cow, both were the best of the trip. The prosciutto was sliced so thin it just melted in your mouth. The burrata tasted like it was made one hour before. Absolutely amazing. For our entrees I ordered the spaghetti with zucchini, zucchini flowers, truffles, and shrimp. My boyfriend ordered the steak and potatoes. We both loved our entrees and even had some leftovers. We tried the "world's best panna cotta" for dessert. We both love panna cotta and loved the texture. It was so decadent. However, it tasted exactly like caramel popcorn. I didn't love the flavor, but probably would have prefered if it had fresh berries or something on top instead. Our waitress here was very sweet. Great food! We would definitely go back!
