I'm genuinely surprised this restaurant's rating is sitting at a 3.6 when I'm writing this. For…read morewhat I paid, it felt reasonable for modern fine dining in Florence, especially given how personal the experience is. The food was exactly what I hope for in this category, creative without being confusing, clearly executed with intent, and consistently delicious. It was the kind of meal where each course gave us something to talk about, and more than once it had us smiling at the table. I won't spoil any of the surprises, but the pacing and little touches made it feel like an experience, not just a dinner. The dining room is small, which in this case is a real advantage. It practically guarantees attentive, personal service, and the chef was friendly and welcoming, which matters more than people admit at this price point. I'm not sure I'd come back, but not because the restaurant isn't good. More because I'd rather use future meals in Florence to explore other Michelin-level spots while I'm there. Still, if you want a proper fine dining experience, I think this is a place most people should consider doing at least once. 1244 chars * 218 words

It was truly an unexpected delight. And that wasn't all! We were given a nice yummy gift box to go. It was definitely a highlight of an amazing trip.

Honestly this would be a 3.5, but rounded up to a 4 since the staff was nothing, but attentive and…read morekind. We came across this place after doing a wine tour in Tuscany. We were in a fairly touristy area, so we weren't expecting a ton. We got the Margherita pizza with onion. This was a 3.5/5. We've had much better pizza in Italy (and Florence, specifically). The base of the pizza was a bit burnt and the dough wasn't as soft as other places -- it had a more rough / chewy feeling. The gnocchi with tomato sauce was a 3.5/4 as well. The gnocchi was soft, but the sauce lacked any flavor to it. Tasted a bit just like tomato sauce out of a jar. The winner of dinner was the ravioli with butter and sage. It was a solid 4.5/5. If this is all we got, we would've been happier with our experience. Anyways, can't expect much more in a touristy area! Just don't have the highest expectations! Still a solid place -- just more hole in the walls to be found that can truly blow you away.

As always, I requested hot water and still water from the bottle. Here was my running list of dishes: Beignet, vegetables Mozzarella fried tuscany bread, caviar Tuna as tender as chicken Oyster on green pasta, on top of pork Cheese selection At this point, my bowels had been gurgling since a few dishes into the meal and by the time the cheese cart came around 2.5 hours into the meal, my bowels exploded in a violent episode in Pinchiorri's restaurant. I stayed in the restaurant bathroom so long that someone came and knocked on the door to check on me. I completed the meal and went back to my hotel to spend the night running to the toilet every 30 minutes to diarrhea violently. I spent the next few days vomiting and diarrheaing, and soldiering on with my planned trip, but despite kindly notifying Pinchiorri of my situation so they could look into their exisiting protocol to make sure no future guests got sick, they denied all responsibility. Truly disappointing behavior for a 3 star Michelin, and by far the least impressive of the multiple Michelins I toured on this trip. Ironically, I had just been at La Pergola a 3 star in Rome the night before, and there was no comparison. The service and food at La Pergola (the real 3 star) puts Enoteca Pinchiorri to shame, outing Enoteca as a dupe.

The food is terrific. Not an enormous menu, but what they do, they do very very well. Great wine list from virtually all the local Radda/Panzano and Castellina producers. Service was pleasant and fast-paced (lunchtime can be busy there!). They offer both indoor and outdoor seating. What was really fun was the mashup of lunch guests: clearly a mix of local workers, wine cellar rats, etc. as well as finely-attired tourists following the Michelin path. So lunch outside was boisterous but also very friendly and lively. There's not much in Lucarelli, and it's easy to drive right through the small roadside village and not notice the place. But that's part of its local charm. I'd highly recommend seeking the place out.

The line does get a bit long but not as long as the other sandwich shop a few feet down the street. Which is crazy to me because I can assure you, I Fratellini is much better. Even though there is a line, it moves really quickly. Service is quick once you order, so you'll have that craveable sandwich in no time at all. This location is the original (which you could say about the location next door as it is literally next door but this one was first and has all of the old world charm with it) and has some seating but not a lot. Don't expect to be able to sit here. There are kind of plenty of places to sit and eat on the street. The sandwiches here are made with great quality materials. The bread is perfectly fresh and crisp. I walked into my Airbnb kitchen with my best friend gnawing on a leftover sandwich in the dark. She scared the sh*t out of me and we've been calling her sandiwch goblin since. This place is definitely worth a try.

The workers were very nice and the food was super fresh but I noticed a few hours later that I was SUPER thirsty... from whatever salt was in the sandwich I ate...not a great scenario when you are walking around and it's 96F and you feel dehydrated. The sandwiches are large but just wish there was a bit more to the sandwiches. It's just a simple small shop you walk up to- no frills but that's OK. There was a line but it went quickly- if there isn't a line in Florence the food probably isn't worth waiting for!
