We walked here from our hotel -- about a 10-minute walk -- and we arrived to find the place packed with reservations in waiting. They still managed to get us in! That's customer service! Fabio took care of us, along with another young lady whose name I did not catch. They were spectacular. I'm a Texas guy, and we eat beef for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I was impressed with the Steak Florentine here. It was tender and was mildly flavored with herbs and butter. The roasted potatoes were OK. The cannellini beans in tomato sauce almost stole the show. What a wonderful combination of meaty white beans and sweet tomato sauce! And the tiramisu was divine. This place was packed on our visit, and it is no surprise, because they are very good at what they do. Still, it was comfy, and we were well taken care of.

We recently stayed at the Grotta Giusti Thermal Spa Resort Tuscany property, and were looking for…read moresome additional "local flavor" after the nice meal we'd had the night before in-town, so we again walked into town to partake in this Michelin-starred dining experience. There was both inside and outside seating, but due to the chilly nature of the evening we chose to eat indoors. I'd heard that this restaurant was attached to an accompanying butcher shop, and that their steaks were to die for...so that was our meal game plan! We started things off with some wine and cicchetti, then they came to the table with some exquisite cuts of beef for us to choose from. We took the "upgraded" path and ordered a thick cut t-bone steak along with sides of sautéed field greens, potatoes and fried mushrooms. As it turns out, our eyes were much bigger than our stomachs, as it was soooo much food! But, every bite was delicious and satisfying so of course we ate it all. The steak was cooked to a medium-rare perfection and the charred exterior made for smoky and sizzling bites that were meant to be savored. Good thing we got a ride back to the hotel, as both my wife and I were in food coma heaven after this meal!

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.

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.
