My husband and I had the good fortune to dine at Ristorante Boccon Divino twice on our recent visit…read moreto the Florence area during which we stayed near Pontassieve. We are quite lacking in our Italian and the owner didn't speak English, but the menu was in Italian and English. And the owner's young son had had enough English in school to help out when we had questions. Given that Pontassieve is land locked, we were surprised and delighted to find that Boccon Divino had the best seafood we had eaten in our two week visit of northern Italy when we had gone from Venice to the Cinque Terre. The mussels were large and a serving was a huge bowl full. The broth was well seasoned and we soaked up every last drop with the bread that accompanied them. Then the sea bass course outshone the mussels. The bass was beautifully presented, deboned, and perfectly cooked, moist not dry. The roasted potatoes were crispy on the outside. The Chardonnay suggested by the owner perfectly accompanied the fish dishes. For dessert, we had the house specialty tiramisu, which was divine. Served in an individual glass-domed dish, it had a thin dusting of dark chocolate on the top of the rich smooth marscapone-whipped cream-espresso-liqueur filling. Perfect ending to a perfect meal. We enjoyed it so much, we returned and repeated our order. The prices were quite reasonable, less than 60 Euros for 2 entrees, 1 order of mussels, dessert, expresso and a decent bottle of wine.

This place exceeded my expectations. Best of all, extremely good prices compared to more formal neighborhood haunts. Highly recommended. Don't forget to get an after dinner liquor like Amaro del Capo to finish your perfect meal.

While we waited, I noticed that the interior was dimly lit and had a nice energy about it. We would not have had to wait if we were eating there though as it was not that full. Once we got the pizzas home, they were still hot as it was a 5 minute walk. The size was decent and the crust was thin and very tasty. The amount of toppings could have improved, but then again, I believe that is the style of local pizza, but have little topping. Two pizzas fed 4 adults and 2 kids nicely.

Really bad, unless you are served by the older gentleman, he's usually on the ball. I went last night and ordered a pizza with an alternative flour type, which is on the menu, because of intolerance. After waiting an absurd amount of time for our food, they brought me a pizza with white flour. I said I didn't order this, and they responded, I know, we ran out of the other flour. When I said, but you didn't tell me, I would have ordered something else, he quickly asked me, oh you can't eat this? And took the pizza away without giving much of a crap about it. They were very rude and inconsiderate. It was a bad experience. I am giving them 3 stars because of their previous track record, otherwise I'd give them 1 star for lousy service.
