I found Konnubio on the Michelin Guide and noted that it was a quick 5 minute walk from our hotel…read more It was an easy find on a smaller side street. The restaurant was so pretty! It was modernly chic but didn't feel snooty. The lighted tree was a nice touch to the overall decor. Service was excellent. Everyone was friendly, and the food came out at a good pace. Appreciated how the server, who took our dishes away, asked how each one was like we were comparing notes with his favorites. I will go as far as saying that I had the best meal during my entire Italy trip. The food was excellent from front to back. I had the pleasure of trying the following: - Cuttlefish Ink Tagliatella - Molloscs and crustaceans on potato cream and scorpion fish broth - Saffron potato tortelli - Codfish - 24hr short ribs - Triple Zuppa Inglese - Dark chocolate mousse, vanilla crumble with hazelnut chantilly and passionfruit ice cream There was no dish that I didn't like, and each one kept getting better than the next. The saffron potato tortelli and 24hr short ribs were the best of them all.

I'm not entirely sure what went wrong here. In fairness, we did arrive toward the end of the…read moreevening, and visually the space is genuinely impressive, bordering on spectacular. Unfortunately, the experience deteriorated quickly from there. Despite a bar that was visibly stocked with what appeared to be dozens of spirits, we were told, rather brusquely, that our choices were essentially limited to a list of roughly eight cocktails. That was disappointing, but it was nothing compared with the food. I ordered the tagliatelle with wild boar, while my partner ordered the chicken. Neither dish was remotely enjoyable, and in our view neither was of a standard that should be leaving the kitchen of a restaurant receiving Michelin recognition. The pasta dish was particularly unpleasant, while the chicken was similarly unsuccessful. We left the overwhelming majority of both dishes uneaten. To the restaurant's credit, the staff did recommend a very good bottle of red wine, which was easily the strongest part of the meal. What I find most difficult to understand is how this restaurant earned a place in the Michelin Guide at all. Michelin's inclusion naturally creates an expectation of a certain baseline of culinary competence, and our meal fell dramatically short of it. I have eaten substantially better food at completely anonymous European neighborhood cafés and casual street-side restaurants with no critical recognition whatsoever. Based on this experience, I would be genuinely interested to know what Michelin's inspectors encountered here that we so very clearly did not. Sadly, I cannot recommend this restaurant at all.

There are many excellent restaurants in Florence, but of all the places I've eaten over the years,…read moreZa Za stood out by far! Our party ordered four dishes: seafood pasta, shrimp pasta, fish, and steak. We loved everything! Each dish was perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. The service was great, and they offer both indoor and outdoor seating. Be sure to make a reservation, as the wait can be long without one.

No water, salty food, and a server (CHAIME) who literally yelled at us…read more In all my time dining out, I have never had a server literally scream at me, but that was unfortunately the highlight of our night here. From the moment we sat down, our server (Chaime) treated us with disdain. While the food itself was overly salty, the service was far worse: * Ignored for simple requests: We asked for water immediately upon being seated and followed up three times throughout the night. Despite ordering heavily--a steak, pasta, omelet, and salad (while surrounding tables shared a single dish)--we never received water during our dinner. We had to eat our entire meal with nothing to drink. * Clear bias: Tables seated long after us were given water immediately upon seating and had their orders taken well before us. * Neglect until the check: Water was only brought alongside the check, and even then, we had to ask separately for cups. When I calmly asked Chaime why our water took so long, especially given that a nearby table seated as we finished was served water right away, she told me to speak with the manager. However, when I attempted to explain the situation to her, Chaime immediately cut me off and began yelling at me. I never raised my voice once. Yet, as she was yelling, she taunted me, asking, "What tone? You gonna cry? Huh?" To be treated with such hostility and malice simply for asking about basic service is completely unacceptable. Management needs to address this server's hostile behavior immediately. Save your money and go somewhere where guests are treated with basic respect.

There are so many choices to choose from. I found a business that had mostly locals having lunch…read more I ordered a tomato pasta, a side of tripe, vegetables and potatoes. The portions are a good size , I finished the tripe and vegetables. Ate half of the pasta and potatoes. The service was quick and very effective. They have tables and chairs for their customers to set, enjoy their lunch and beer or wine.

Some of these next few places may not be as detailed. Sorry I'm so behind, when I hit Florence I…read morethink, Yelp just stopped working for me. Couldn't log on the app, couldn't use the website. One day it said it was down for maintenance or something and then it never came back online for me. I don't think once until even after I came back from Italy. On to the food. No I can't tell you the name of all of these specific places that we tried in this food hall. First, let me start off by saying that this is one of the largest food halls that I have ever been to, possibly even the largest. Again, this place is huge with plenty to choose from in a lot of variety. They had plenty of different Italian foods, burgers, gelato, a bar, and I think I even saw a vegetarian and a Taqueria. We all ended up going to different booths. My friends ordered a couple pizza slices, ravioli, wild boar Ragu pasta, and I got a Porchetta plate. We had joked that my friends ravioli tasted like Chef Boyardee from the can. The wild boar pasta while OK flavor had very chalky textured meat. My friend's pizza he said was so so. The huge disappointment for me was the Porchetta. due to the nature of it being a food hall it's hit or miss so my guess is that these guys just cook a giant Porchetta and it's a hope for the best type of situation. They probably just slice it as the orders come in. It looked like he stuck it in the oven to reheat, but the whole process results in you getting a plate of dry overcooked Porchetta. Maybe if you come early in the day when they first open, it's great but I highly recommend you avoid this place at night. It's a little sad to say, but I took maybe five bites in total and tossed the rest out. I was hungry, but not desperately hungry that I felt I needed to eat this. There was a gelato spot right next to our table, which I did try. I don't think I caught the name, but one of the flavors on there said it was award-winning for some kind of gelato competition. I got it and I must admit it was pretty good. Anyways, I wouldn't tell you not to come to this food hole, but I would tell you to keep your expectations in check.
