    My family and I were desperate for some Korean food after 5 days without it. This place not only fulfilled the craving, but was very satisfying! We tried to go to Gangnam first (at 7pm on a Thursday), but they were booked for the rest of the night. We walked into On Sapore della Corea and were lucky to get an open table right away. I got the jjangjangmyun, which I give a 4/5. Good flavor, thin noodles (seems to be Italian style? But not a bad thing). I tried some jjambbong, which was spicy and pretty good. The ddukboki was not a huge portion, but good for an appetizer. It wasn't that spicy, but has a spice that stays in your mouth even after you're done eating it. Overall not amazing ddukboki, but we ate it all. The bibimbap was simple and authentic, like the kind you would make an home. The seafood kimchi jeon was a good combo of crispy and falling apart, if you know what I mean. Overall, this was a welcome meal for us Korean-Americans from Virginia. Do yourself a favor if you're craving Korean food and just go here, you'll be thankful it's not pizza and pasta for a change and you'll have a good meal! Oh also, we tried to come here for lunch the day before 2-3pm, and we were turned away because they had used all their ingredients. So maybe call ahead and ask if they're open and available.

    This is probably the best Korean food place I have found in Florence so far. The bibimbap was pretty good, and I enjoyed the tteokbokki. This is definitely my go-to place for Korean food.

    FINALLY real Korean food in Florence! I've been living here for almost 20 years and have been waiting for this moment! This is a small place with about 8 or 10 tables, not an actual restaurant but more like a snack place or good for a quick meal, kind of like a take away (actually I think they do a lot of take away). It is actually run by real Koreans and the food is authentic. The menu is very limited, about 10 items, but it has some main staples that lovers of Korean cuisine crave: bibimbop, bulgogi, chap jae, dumplings, spicy rice cakes and Korean fried chicken, all served in paper/styrofoam containers with disposable utensils. Personally, I prefer places that have few dishes because you know that things are fresh and homemade. I had a long lunch there and noticed that just about all the other customers were Korean (or at least Asian) and there were very few Italians, which is a good sign. I had the bulgogi (marinated beef over rice) and it was tasty and came with a miso soup on the side. I'll definitely be back again soon! The prices are very reasonable, the portions are decent, the locale is simple and clean. This is the perfect place to go to for some real Asian food in Florence. Don't expect anything fancy but do expect hearty, authentic food!

    My boyfriend and I came here while in Florence to also get a break from the local food (as most…read morereviews have said also). At first, we sat outside and our waitress came out to take our order. We ordered the pork dumpling appetizer (which was alright) and said we needed a little more time to decide on our main dishes. After she delivered our dumplings, she was never to be seen again, and we were waiting for at least 20 minutes... so we figured we would move inside to hope for better service. After moving in, we finally got our order taken by a new waiter and ordered the Thai fried rice and the spicy chicken skillet. The chicken dish came out in a normal amount of time (about 15 min) but there was no Thai fried rice. We figured maybe they were bringing it out right after the first dish. However, another 15 minutes went by and still no Thai fried rice, so we called the waiter over and asked about it. He was confused and brought us white rice and we said no we ordered the Thai fried rice... so finally he got it and you could tell the kitchen had forgotten about it and made it right then. The fried rice came out about 10 min after we said something to the waiter, so it was all very awkward timing of our food being brought out. As for the food, I thought it was average (I don't usually eat a lot of Asian food since I'm gluten free and in the US it doesn't agree with me), but my boyfriend does eat more of it and he said he would give this place a 1 out of 5 rating based on food and overall experience. I don't usually focus on negative factors of an experience, but this was not the best dining experience I have had, for sure.

    Went here for some takeaways and had very rude staff. Asked for some cutlery like spoon and fork…read morebut apparently we were only allowed to choose only one - where is the hospitality?? Haven't even ate the food yet but I know its shit. The one who seems like the owner is not very nice too.

    The Four Seasons Hotel in Florence Italy. Spectacular in every way. The history (700 year old…read moreMedici family owned castle), the architecture, the staff, the food, the GARDEN!!!! OMG that GARDEN I will dream about for the rest of my life. I will try to forward photos because I was lucky enough to know the GM (we stayed for free and saved a fortune and were lucky enough to see many spots not usually viewed by regular clients,,,, not to brag.... but I just need to.) I thought that Paris (the Georges V, which is with a great view of the Eiffel Tower in its backyard, and where the Queen stays while in town, and boasting a 3 star Michelin restaurant Le Cinq which we enjoyed for 3 hours one night :) would always be my favourite city hotel but now its a tossup. Florence is just heaven. Thank you so much to the gorgeous staff for being BEYOND welcoming. Hubby and I were trying to eat in a fiscally responsible way (ie even when we are paying only half the food meals its still crazy expensive.... so we always ordered not the most delicious looking meal and NEVER dessert.) Yet each night when we returned to our luxury royal suite we would have different decadent desserts waiting for us and free champagne on ice and roses. Then when we checked out we found out not only was the room free, but even our restaurant bill was wiped out. WOW does it help to have friends in high places. Ill add more details about the garden and the history and the staff going above and beyond in a second :).... I tried each restaurant and all were incredible. The view of the 17 acre walled garden when we ate on the patio was not only INCREDIBLE but the soccer (sorry, European Football) team Manchester United was staying at the hotel with us and as punishment for losing to Florence the night before (they were really routed! And totally unexpected as Manchester U was the best in the world at the time) and the coach was so furious he gave them all 6am wakeup calls and then they had to do laps around the garden for 3 hours. Running right past me and hubby and all the other well dressed tourists eating our delicious meals. While taking photos of all the millionaire athletes with massive diamond rings in their ears I could literally SEE from my TABLE. Running round and round. HILARIOUS and PRICELESS!!!!!! The indoor restaurants La Magnolia and Il Palagio were stunning as well, Ill post some photos. :) Thank you as always Four Seasons ! PS one other cool detail about the history- as the castle was owned by the Medici family, the richest family in the world and the people who employed Michalengelo and DaVinci and Raphael AND Christopher Columbus- after Columbus discovered America this spot was his first stop when he sailed back. He brought specimen trees from the New World and planted them in THIS GARDEN!!! Im a gardener so these kind of details left me feeling faint I was so impressed. Ill share another garden story or two in a minute....
