Beautiful space, delicious food, but what an absolutely miserable experience! Imagine a marble bar, full of people, sitting in silence, terrified by the angrily somber owner Zeb, with the busboy and his mother also in fear. I was going to walk out just five minutes after ordering, as he gave us very dirty looks and treated the other guests miserably, but my wife insisted to stay. The poor girl sitting next to me became Zeb's adversary of the day, and when she asked the difference between two pork dishes, he loudly insulted her, and explained the dishes as if she was a two-year old. And the poor girl, maybe 25, didn't know that you could just order a primi for lunch. My stomach is suddenly churning just writing this review. I may go back to enjoy provoking Zeb even further, and I'll order just a segundi, then ask for a Coke, then cut the pasta with knife, add cheese to the seafood dish, and I'll insist on paying with AmEx. Hey Zeb, Go FYS. https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g187895-d1078842-r1031647983-Zeb-Florence_Tuscany.html# read more

My daughter and I had one of the most amazing meals that we had ever had. The quality of the ingredients and the love in every dish is incredible! Oh and the wine, the chef will get it right! The restaurant is beautiful, modern will make your trip to Florence just amazing! read more

Wow. Zeb. One of if not the best meals I've had in Florence. The food, the energy, the quality, the elegance of the entire experience... absolutely unmatched. I'm genuinely confused by the poor reviews, because we were treated with such warmth, professionalism, and grace. This place is elevated, refined, and not like anything else I've experienced here. Maybe that's the catch: if you show up with class, respect, and appreciation for true hospitality, you'll be met with service that goes above and beyond. Zeb isn't just a restaurant, it's an experience. A hidden gem that I'll be dreaming about for a long time. read more

Zeb - Tuscan Near Me - Florence, FI

The food was 5 stars! Everything we ordered was so delicious! The ravioli with truffles was the best pasta during our visit to Florence. The main courses we selected were excellent with so many flavors and textures. For dessert we had tiramisu and apple cake, which is so much better than NY. The restaurant is small and very unassuming from the outside, with a set up of seating the diners along the counter and facing the chef/server. There was one separate table near the window that seats 4. The owner/chef, read the menu board to us in English as it's all in Italian. Google translate was not very descriptive or clear. The mom/chef served us dessert and she was a bit more pleasant. I can agree with some of the posted reviews where the chef can seem rude or standoffish. This was an epic meal for such a reasonable price! In NY for this type of quality meal it would easily be double or triple this price. read more

The food was top notch. The restaurant is unique for fine dining which made for an intimate experience. If oh have the opportunity to have Nana's cake, get it. Hands down one of the best desserts I have had in a restaurant. read more

I have been to many awesome restaurants- but normally Michelin starred food is just too fancy for me. But after seeing the front door of this restaurant... And seen the inside... Let me tell you it was worth every unbelievable fabulous bite.! Best pasta ever!! Super cool looking restaurant great vibe... Unbelievable wines!!! we only sat for lunch... The service was very good! read more

Unfortunately the many reviews about the terrible service don't fully capture the level of rudeness that you will experience here. I wasn't the target but the owner is surly and condescending. I witnessed him treat another customer horribly. There are many other options for delicious food in Florence. The food is good but seriously, don't waste your time. It's not a positive dining experience. read more

Arrived on time for our reservation and were told to wait. We asked multiple times for an estimate of when we would be seated to no answer from the hostess (appears to be Zeb's mother?). After 45 minutes of waiting with increasing hostility, dismissiveness, and snide looks, we left. Truly disappointing and infuriating! Why offer reservations if you cannot fulfill them? We wasted our valuable time in Florence when it would have been much simpler for them to take accountability and just tell us they could not uphold our reservation. read more

Zeb features great Italian classics that is worth coming back for... if only not for the service. A Michelin recommended restaurant, Zeb is the work of a mother-son duo who prepare and serve Italian dishes that are both rustic and delicious. Given they are both the cooks and the servers, it is not meant to be a big space for many people. Instead, it is quite intimate with diners sitting side by side. While the idea of this really cozy space seems great if you are entertained by an affable host, the main server here (the son) can be a little standoffish and can come off as rude. My experience was not so great and I could see it also rubbed off some other diners the wrong way. However, what I was really impressed with here was the food. For our primi, we had ordered the capellacci with ricotta and pears and the black truffle spaghetti. The capellacci with ricotta and pears was probably one of the best pasta dishes we had during our two week Italy trip! The slight sweetness of the pear paired so well with the rich creaminess of the ricotta. The black truffle spaghetti was also pretty good! In terms of secondi, we ordered the osso buco a Florentine classic of veal which was flavorful without the gamey taste expected from veal. Not as great as the pasta dishes, but still worth getting! Given the limited space, highly recommend getting a reservation if you would like to dine here! Otherwise, you may also suffer the utter dysfunction of the chaotic service here as mentioned before... Overall, Zeb offers great food that is worth checking out if you are in this area of Florence, but come with reservations and expect disjointed service. read more

I'm gonna make this quick. The meal at Zeb was easily the best meal I have ever had. The truffle and ricotta ravioli was possibly the best thing I have ever eaten. read more

Had the most amazing meal at Zeb's. The mother son duo provided an excellent dining experience. My husband had spaghetti with a meat sauce while I had truffles and ravioli! A wonderful beef dish and chicken dish followed and ended with a chocolate cake that was delicious! read more

Our dinner here was fantastic (both the food and wine pairing), and prices were incredibly reasonable. Menu was written in Italian on a chalkboard. Owner walked around to each party, quickly translated the menu (if needed), and then took your order. Their pasta dishes were phenomenal. I loved my pear and pecorino cappellacci, which had the perfect hint of sweetness from the pear, and my husband his truffle and ricotta cappellacci. Also enjoyed my rolled chicken and my husband his rabbit (though he had a few bones). Ended our meals with tiramisu and cheesecake. Cheesecake was amazing and didn't taste like it was made with cream cheese (but maybe ricotta?). We were in the first seating at 7:30pm, and almost everyone had reservations. There was one couple who walked in at opening with no reservations and grabbed the last two available seats though. read more

Excellent food and wine in a nice setting! Easily one of the best stops on our trip and very much worth the cost. The fresh pasta was absolutely delicious and the beef Peposo literally fell apart in your mouth.. The service from our host was a little stiff but to call it rude would be an exaggeration. Definitely worth a stop if you're in Florence. I recommend heading to Piazzale Michelangelo to soak in the view before heading down a short walk to the restaurant. read more

Tip: menu is written in Italian outside, and you could either figure it out with translation app or take a photo and figure it out while waiting to be served inside. Food is wonderful traditional Tuscany food with a modern twist, such as homemade ravioli filled with cheese (ricotta I think) and topped with pear sauce, and perfectly cooked tripe with tomato. Portion is quite generous thus you only order the primi first. I enjoyed my food and conversation with other customers so much and forgot to take a photo except the dessert, lol. Price is beyond reasonable by American standard. Efficient no frills service. The owner/chef/son will hold up the chalk board with a daily menu and explain for you QUICKLY if you don't speak Italian. And then you are expected to order quickly given there is only one or at most two people working in the front of the house for about 20 seats. He will also recommend pairing wine for you based on the dish, but doesn't have a problem at all if you don't want to drink (my case). While they are busy, you can still get your napkins, wine refills, etc. as needed. It could take a bit to order each dish and could take a bit for the food to come out esp. fresh made pasta so don't go if you are in a rush - this seems to be standard in Italian restaurants. Ambiance is very modern and nice despite a bar setting. People talk in low volume so it is not too loud. read more

Zeb - Open hours as of April 2nd, 2023 - Tuscan Near Me - Florence, FI

We were brought here by Italian friends that live outside of Florence. Always a good sign. But the food?? As I said to the owner, this was the single best pasta I have eaten in my life. And I've eaten a lot of pasta! I had 'cappellacci del fiori Di zucca' - a pasta stuffed with zucchini flowers and at least two different types of cheese. The sauce was a very light cream with shredded zucchini for flavoring. The dish was so light, so refreshing. Others had the coniglio (rabbit) and the osso bucco. The house red was exceptional. The restaurant itself is super charming. You eat around a common bar, with the owner and his mamma engaging with the guests. We have already made plans to return on Thursday. Waiting an extra day only because they are closed on Wednesday. (For those reviews commenting on the service, see the photo of the smiling man below. This is the affable gentleman that has been accused of being rude and standoffish? That was the opposite of our experience.) read more

We came to Zeb on a recommendation. We had reservations and were seated promptly. The chef came with a whiteboard and explained the courses quickly, giving us no time to decide. The food was as you'd expect in a Michelin-rated restaurant--great. Let's get to the real issue, service was worse than I've ever experienced. A group of "friends" came in and at that point, the rest of the guests were essentially ignored. We ended up only getting 2 courses mainly because he never came back to us. I finally got his attention to have the audacity to ask for a 2nd glass of wine for us, he filled my glass and ignored my wife completely. We sat waiting long enough for me to finish my 2nd glass of wine with no food and I finally got fed up and asked for the bill. At that point, the chef looked astonished that we didn't want more food or dessert. Couldn't figure out why we'd leave early. Waffel House and McDonalds treat you better than this guy. His arrogance of being a Michelin Star chef was overwhelming. He forgets that its a service industry and that is as important as the food. I'd NEVER go back, nor would I recommend. read more

While visiting Florence a few weeks ago, my friend and I had the distinct pleasure of visiting Zeb for dinner one night. We called a couple of days ahead and were able to secure a reservation on a Thursday night. To start, I have to say that I do not understand why there are so many reviews indicating that the service is poor. My friend and I both found the owner and his mother to be lovely people. They were warm, inviting, helpful and grateful for our business. Onto the food...my friend and I shared the cappellacci di pera, ricotta and pecorino, the cappellacci di ricotta & tartufo, the melanzana alla parmigiana, and the peposo. For dessert, I had tiramisu. Every last bite was delicious, and I'd no doubt return to this restaurant on my next visit to Florence. read more

We enjoyed to food at Zeb. Alberto's mother was a joy. I would have rated Zeb a 4-5 had it not been because of the service. Alberto (the Owner) was not very hospitable and seemed quite impatient with us. We had a few questions about the menu since it was only in Italian and he didn't want to explain much to us. We asked about wine and he pointed to all the bottles rather than making suggestions. He did not come over to ask us how our meal was. Maybe it was because we were at the window table because he seemed to socialize with other people. He did not smile and did not thank us for dining in his restaurant. It would be recommend Zeb but we will tell our friends the food was great but the owner Alberto was not as nice and appreciative as he could have been. read more

Our recent attempt to dine at Zeb, sans reservation, was a lesson in how not to treat potential customers. Upon arrival, we were met with the maitre d's disinterested gaze, as he was too busy showcasing his menu narration skills to a captive audience. When he did turn to us, it was with a dismissive wave of the hand and a tone dripping with condescension. We inquired about a table and were briskly informed that nothing was available - as if our lack of reservation was a personal affront. When I asked about the reservation process, hoping for a modern, online option, he retorted, "Over the phone, of course," as though I had asked the world's most obvious question. While Zeb's culinary reputation may be stellar, their front-of-house approach could use a serious overhaul. Being dismissed with a wave and spoken to like an inconvenience isn't my idea of hospitality, especially when I'm ready to pay a premium price. It's a shame that such a reputed place lets arrogance overshadow customer service. ------------------------------- Il nostro recente tentativo di cenare da Zeb, senza prenotazione, si è trasformato in una lezione su come non trattare i potenziali clienti. All'arrivo, siamo stati accolti dallo sguardo disinteressato del maître, troppo impegnato a esibire le sue doti di narratore del menù a un pubblico rapito. Quando finalmente si è rivolto a noi, è stato con un gesto di mano sbrigativo e un tono intriso di condiscendenza. Abbiamo chiesto se c'era un tavolo libero e ci è stato risposto bruscamente che non c'era nulla disponibile - come se la mancanza di una prenotazione fosse un affronto personale. Quando ho chiesto informazioni sul processo di prenotazione, sperando in un'opzione moderna online, ha ribattuto: "Ovviamente per telefono", come se avessi fatto la domanda più ovvia del mondo. Sebbene la reputazione culinaria di Zeb possa essere eccellente, il loro approccio con i clienti all'ingresso necessita seriamente di una revisione. Essere liquidati con un gesto della mano e parlato come se fossimo un fastidio non è la mia idea di ospitalità, specialmente quando sono pronto a pagare un prezzo elevato. È un peccato che un locale così rinomato lasci che l'arroganza offuschi il servizio al cliente. read more

First of all, the owner and all of the staff are very customer friendly and explain the menu to each of them. After the owner explained me the menu list, I chose as a first course the Cappellacci stuffed with pear, pecorino and ricotta served on a pear sauce. This tasted so great that I was tempted to try a second course. This time I chose the Peposo a Tuscan speciality which consists of meat marinated in oil and spices and pepper corns for several days. This course gets you stuffed by just eating it with bread. It was delicious beyond words. I ended up adding two glasses of rose and a bottle of water. This was a great lunch ! I can highly recommend this place. read more

Me and my sister went to Zeb for lunch. The chef and his mother run the place and they are such sweethearts. The restaurant is laid out very neatly in 2 rows around a middle bar/ island area. The food was amazing. The chef explained the menu to us in English and was very patient with us. We had 2 pear sauce pasta and pici with meat sauce . Both came in piping hot. The wine recs went down very smooth. The desserts were cheesecake and tiramisu both divine.. read more

The truffle raviolis at this mother-and-son run elegant spot were one of the top meals of our 10 day trip across Italy. Sumptuous, right, creamy, doughy, divine. This family twosome whips up magic and they're both so warm and lovely. Just get the truffle raviolis for your first and second course (or the incredible bolognese pasta, they let you do that, these dishes are better than the squash blossom raviolis and meat courses), and then get the chocolate cake and the vanilla torta, this airy, eggy, custard of a cake that I've never tasted in my life. I'm so tempted to go back to Florence sooner than I would, just for this meal. What a restaurant: what a twosome! 5 stars!!!!!! read more

The most amazing food ever, our experience only dimmed by Alberto, the owner, who takes great pride in being surly. his mother on the other hand helps compensate by being very friendly and warm. If you can look beyond this, it is absolutely delicious, especially the Oso Buco. read more

Very good food paired with the absolute worst service I experienced in this city or on this vacation. If you go, and you don't speak Italian, I recommend that you do not ask for clarification because they get upset and express a disgusting negative attitude. I find servers everywhere in Italy commonly speak multiple languages, however the servers here only speak Italian. My fiancé and I speak four languages combined (Spanish, French, and Russian), so I'm shocked they would treat us with such poor regard. It is sad when an otherwise enjoyable evening is ruined by extremely rude service. read more

Excellent stuffed ravioli with pear sauce on top! I can see why this restaurant was recognized by the 2018 Michelin Guide. The stuffed ravioli was fresh and the pear sauce added a slight sweetness to the dish. With three pretty stuffed raviolis, it was a good size dish. My friend and I enjoyed it with an aromatic white wine and a full bodied red wine. We were in a bit of a food coma when we were asked if we wanted a second course. Given all of the walking we did, we thought we were hungrier than we actually were. So when asked about a second course, we agreed. I got stuffed meatballs and my friend got veal with carrots, celery and onion. We took a few bites of each and were sooo stuffed. The were both good but didn't measure up to the first course, the pear sauce stuffed ravioli. Would I come back? Absolutely! The service was excellent, the wines excellent and the pear sauce ravioli has still been the food highlight of our trip. read more

This place was awesome. We were able to be seated during lunch without a reservation. I hear a reservation is needed for dinner. The pasta dishes were perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. I tried the simple but decadent butter pasta with truffles. The other dishes we ordered were also amazing. The owner and his mother run the restaurant. The owner is eclectic and a bit distant. He holds up the menu (greaseboard) and describes each dish. His mother, I believe, is the cook. Other wait staff buses the dishes. This was a very unique dining experience but well loved by all of us. read more

Condescending attitude. Terrible wine. Uncooked pasta. Unwelcoming. Couldn't wait to leave.

We noticed that the locals were ordering a "mixed plate" for lunch. Three reasonable servings of your choice. I wish I was aware of that option before ordering! I could have enjoyed more of a variety. Excellent food but expect some serious attitude and eye rolls from Alberto until the rush is over. He seems to be green and gets overwhelmed easily. Ignore his vibes and focus on the amazing food that is presented. Take away only the positive! read more

Unfortunately we had awful service at Zeb. We were super excited for this spot and got a table during lunch - the waiter/maitre d' was incredibly rude to our group, made a comment because one person wore a mask and was upset when I asked for a new glass of wine because there was a bug in the glass. Awful experience, would neither go back nor recommend to someone else. Ruined our lunch. read more

Extremely disappointing. They have a lot of nerve being so pretentious while having lackluster food. We felt unwelcome the entire time. The host seemed irritated during any interaction. We asked for recommendations and he pointed at the entire menu. We asked if they had butter for the bread and rather than just saying no, he just ignored us. Perhaps they could get away with this if the food was stellar but it wasn't. The spaghetti with truffles had so few truffles that it just tasted like plain spaghetti. The meatballs tasted like basic meatballs. This place needs to work on their customer service. read more

Can't believe I never reviewed this place!! This is my husband's favorite place to eat when we're in Italy. We make it a point to come here and one other restaurant and have done so the 3 times we've been to Italy in the last 2 years. We first came in 2015 when we found a place close to our hotel on the other side of the water from Florence. The next time we made a delivered stop for 1 day to frequent both places during our honeymoon, and then most recently in October 2017. We were happy to meet Alberto and eat his delicious food that has been just as intoxicating each time we go. The first time, we were able to bring home some wine and that has proven difficult these past 2 visits! We always get the pesto pasta with ricotta and sundried tomatoes, the truffle ricotta ravioli and the house red wine. We do double portions and I've have had the ragu and pork shoulder which are all amazing as well. It's a small place that probably fits about 20 people in an open kitchen bar type feel. They sell their own wine as well as others and we also bought their pasta to try! It was also very nice that the Chef remembered us from past visits. It can feel like it takes a little bit for him to warm up, but throw some Italian in there you'll crack a smile :) Looking forward to the next time we're back and tasting these heavenly dishes again! :) read more

'd like to preface my review with a note that I write this review to give you a feel of the restaurant, rather than just the food. While I understand that the initial thoughts of someone going into this restaurant are of pretentious staff peddling overpriced finger food, the actual experience is far different. I was very lucky to stumble into the opportunity to try the food at Zeb. We'd just finished a long stair/hill climb to the top of the overlook and were hungry, but when we looked around the options were dire. A lot of pretty facades or beautiful locales that likely made the owners think would make the tourists gobble up their awful food. We found Zeb, with excellent reviews and Michelin ratings, at the base of our little hike and decided to try our luck knowing there'd likely be a long wait. When we arrived we were lucky to be greeted and get a seat in the inner corner of the room then were almost immediately attended. The gentleman, whom I presume to be the restaurateur, walked over and his presence felt confident and commanded attention as he began giving us choices on drinks. His thick-framed glasses that glinted with flashes of Royal Blue in the light, were a welcome distraction to my ADHD brain as he read each item on the menu and described every dish in detail. He set the table for us to begin enjoying one of the finest meals we had in our entire trip to Rome, Florence, Edinburgh and Amsterdam. As he read the menu, I will say that I was a bit overwhelmed with the choices, as he explained the dishes I attempted to picture in my mind and 'digest' it, so to speak, when suddenly we were at the next option. The first course that stood out to me, however, was the Capellacci di Pera, Ricotta e Pecorino in Salsa di Pere. I'd never ventured far past the 'standard' when it came to the flavors and possibilities of pasta so, to me, a savory pasta with pears was definitely intriguing. It was a light,  perfectly cooked dish and had a great balance of flavors that worked so well together that every ingredient felt equally represented. Other restaurants try to cover up mediocre food with lots of unnecessary truffle-this or beautiful-view-that, but this dish was simple and elegant. I was feeling particularly entranced by the food and vibe in the room that I decided to continue with a more adventurous choice for my second course. Being that we were in Florence, we'd been told to try a Florentine Steak numerous times and it felt obligatory by the last day of our visit in this city. On the other hand, I thought to myself, if I am dining at a Michelin-rated restaurant I may as well allow myself to try something different than the 'safe' options. I opted for a Trippa alla Florentina, as it satisfied my appetite for something adventurous and my need to try something 'alla Fiorentina' before our train departed Florence. The dish was reminiscent of a similar dish in Mexican cuisine and had me longing for those cold days with a bowl of hot soup made by my mother. There were additional notes of herbs that were likely locally used that elevated the dish into a more refined experience. The dish felt light with bold flavors from the aromatics blending into the broth -- and while it was soup-esque, it definitely satisfied my hunger. After our meal, I left the city with a more cozy and welcoming memory than when I'd first arrived. Watching the gentleman describe the menu to other patrons of the restaurant while I ate my food made me appreciate his craft more. As he described the menu you could almost see the glimmer in his eyes fade bit by bit as tourists flocked in and were (in my eyes) more concerned about drinking cheap alcohol or an instagrammable view than the array of wonderful choices before them. Or maybe that was me projecting my own feelings onto him, as he never disparaged or turned away any customer or even looked at them differently no matter how they appeared, me in particular in sweaty clothes and loud USAmerican everything about me. I sadly never got the name of the restaurateur but he looks like a younger, fitter, bearded Colin Firth, and he provided excellent service that made the entire experience so intimate and feel catered to the individual. If you are in Florence and have time to go on a bit of a gastronomic adventure, in an otherwise saturated market of tourist traps, I'd definitely recommend Zeb in a heartbeat. read more

This is a slightly higher end restaurant located close to the base of Piazzale Michelangelo, so it's a nice place to come for lunch or dinner if you visit Piazzale Michelangelo. The seating is all at the bar/counter, and feels more like a wine bar than a restaurant. The portions here are large, and they are reasonably priced. A lot of the other reviewers complain about the service here, but I didn't have any problems - the menu is on a chalkboard (very typical in most Italian restaurants) and the pasta dishes for the primi piatti are all explained to you. You don't have a ton of time to choose after he explains the choices to you, so you may want to look at photos online ahead of time, or take a look at the menu if you can see it, to be able to make a decision in real-time. I got the pasta with shaved black truffle for the starter and it was a pretty decent sized portion, with freshly shaved black truffle on top. The dish is pretty simple as to not overpower the truffles - it's just served with butter. For the second course, I got meatballs and they were huge - each one was probably the size of a softball. They are not served with sauce or anything, so it's just 2 meatballs served on a plate. The meatballs themselves were really delicious - soft, moist, and flavorful. I was dining solo, so it was a bit much of the same thing for me, but if you're sharing with one or two people, this is a great dish to try. Overall, this was a nice place for a slightly more upscale dinner. My dinner was around 30€ for myself, for the 2 dishes. It's slightly more expensive than some of the other places in Oltrano (the less touristy part on the other side of the river), but if you're looking for something in this area and have just gone up or descended from Piazzale Michelangelo, this is a good bet. I didn't have to make a reservation on a weekday for dinner, but during weekends and peak tourist season, I'd recommend a reservation. read more

I will never visit Florence again without walking to Piazza Michelangelo and stopping at Zeb on the way back. The chefs table layout is bustling on the inside while laid back bar height seating is surrounded by shelves of wine. The owner/chef demands his customers eat well as he knows no dish will disappoint. One of our more memorable and unexpected meals in Italy. read more

From the friendly and knowledgeable owner, to his mom working tirelessly in the kitchen preparing the amazing dishes, Zeb is a perfect spot to stop by and have lunch. Besides the great hospitality of the owner my favorite part was to be able to eat in a wine and cheese shop, with many of the dishes displayed right in front of you so you could make your selection. This sounds like the food may get overcooked or old tasting but the dishes the chef selects are prefect for this type of dining. Of course the pastas are prepared fresh to order. Don't miss the Truffle pasta or my favorite the amazing Pesto pasta. From the warmer we tried the Lasagna and the Rabbit stuffed with Liver. Both dishes were superb especially with the Chianti chef recommended. Zeb is across the bridge and not in a super touristy area which brought even more joy when casually enjoying our prefect lunch. I can't say I will be back to Florence anytime soon but if I were to make it back Zeb would be one of my first stops. read more
