We me the chef, Enzo, at a Ferrari event across town. The man running the event introduced us and…read moreurged us to go to his restaurant for the best meal in town. He then told Enzo to take care of his "new" friends. We decided that an offer like that can't be missed so we went there for lunch the nest day. My friend decided to give Enzo our go-ahead to bring out whatever he thought would put a smile on our faces. As you can see from the photo I posted, Enzo was table-side a lot, asking about preferences and potential allergies. We were treated to course after course of great, locally-sourced dishes, every one would be a signature dish for eateries over here in the USA. For example, he sprinkled Parmesan cheese on our risotto (etherial!) and added "aged thirty six months" - and it was rich, creamy and memorable. This small place deserves your attention and a high rating from anyone who understands what it takes to run a memorable restaurant that delivers quality, fair-priced food. In Maranello, the debate is always - Cavallino or Montana - the two most famous restaurants in town. Each has their fans - especially given their Ferrari-centered reputation (Ferrari big-wigs have a private dining room in Cavallino, F1 drivers have memorabilia all over the walls in Montana). However, having eaten at these other excellent places, this place beats them for service, taste, and price. Go, eat, you'll thank me later!

The inside was very homey and nice. The owners, I believe are a husband and wife team who are helpful. Salmon carpaccio was an appetizer special - it was excellent Swordfish for the main was a mistake. Should have stuck with a pasta. This fish looked like it was frozen and it's was fair, nothing special. Tiramisu for dessert was so good. totally made up for the swordfish. It was made fresh that day and you could tell. This and the service raised the rating from to 4.

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.

The ambiance there was very friendly. The pastas were some of the best I've had across Italy, and the the calamari was pretty good, as for the fish I liked it even though I'm a bit skittish of eating fish this way. i would recommend this redtaurant for anyone visiting. Maybe not the gold bier but the blond they have (8 ball) is pretty good.

Beautiful, one of this special places where you can just let it go and relax in the middle of the city! This is what happened to me here! L'orto is a flower shop that meets an American restaurant and you can see and smell it everywhere: the music, 60s style, plants everywhere, inside and outside. But it get's even better when you go inside: everything looks like if an old factory would have been restructured by a gardener: industrial style with lots of copper in combination with flowers. All that coming with daily changing plates fulfilling all wishes from pasta to cow! By the way, the coffee is superb!!! I wanna live here!!!!

This place has become one of my favorite spots in Empoli. It…read morehas been opened where once there was a florist, hand it has kept the style and many of the plants too. Still the florist exists, in a very very tiny booth in the restaurant's frontyard. The Chef, a very friendly and passionate Lady, cooks like at home but with a fancy touch. Portions are generous and everything is from very good to delicious! The great thing is that it is open 7/7 and from breakfast to dinner, also serving brunch from 10 am on, with a choice of cakes, eggs in different ways, etc... It is also a nice place to go with a friend for an afternoon tea, or with a colleague for a brainstorm coffee. I love to go there with my girlfriends for lunch, a looong lunch :) And it's nice for an aperitif too, they also make the classic cocktails and serve wines too (of course!) that you can have maybe with some crostini or cold cuts or cheeses. But the atmosphere, with that old country style and flowers and plans, is what you will like the most as it is not typical but makes it perfect for every occasion. PS. Don't miss to visit the restrooms... unique.

The staff was warm and inviting since the second we walked in. The overall ambience was entertaining with the mix of music that was being played (salsa, bachata, latin top 100) and the tables were spaced apart for privacy. For my appetizer, I had the Seafood Antipasti. It was delicious and a great mix of local catches. It had sardines, oysters, and a stuffed seafood and cream empanada. My only dislike was I wished I had more haha. The Trofie di Pesto was downright delicious and well cooked. The only reason I can't give them five stars, is because it was pricy compared to other places and the portions given were a bit small. Despite this, I recommend this restaurant for a romantic dinner with a partner.
