Had previously been 3 years ago and was delighted to see that standards are still excellent. The food/wine in this family run restaurant is just delicious and the staff make the whole experience special. Went back twice more,don't miss it!!

We booked a table at FrancescoVini on the advice of a friend and could not have been more pleased with the quality of the food, the service we received from Jodi & Fabio, or the friendly and efficient, can-do service. We shared two dishes to start: a very appetizing antipasto toscano, and the linguine with mussels, clams, shrimp, and calamari.... More

We went to this restaurant on the advice of a friend who said this was the best place she ate while in Florence and she was right! The food was excellent but the best part was the really friendly staff and the atmosphere they created in the entire restaurant from their enthusiasm. It was packed and everyone was having a... More

FrancescoVini is run by a husband and wife team who pride themselves on a great atmosphere with food and wine to match. They seem to cook and prepare everything locally so once it's gone it's gone - but it didn't restrict our choices - from the most amazing mussels to rabbit pasta to sublime cheesecake and Gelato. Only one word... More

I had read about this restuarant in the Sunday Times magazine and decided to give it a shot. Emailed a couple of weeks before and booked a table for 2, i am glad we did as the place was full. We came at this from the riverside which is the the "back" entrance, which was a little confusing as it... More

I travelled to Florence with a group of 15 people. The restarant had a private room at the back which was just large enough to accomodate us. The location is superb, anout 8 mins from Duomo and 5 mins from Ufuzzi. Its down a narrow street just of the main square where Ufuzzi is. The food was all home made... More

Was recently in Florence, staying in an apt with a friend.. This restaurant's rear entrance was just across the street from our apt.. It looked nice, so we tried it.. We had such a wonderful meal and experience that we returned for another dinner that was equally as good.. The owner is a lovely young man, who could not have... More

The food,wine and service are excellent and if you ask the owner, Fabio, he may have time to show the wine cellar which is located below in what is a 2000 year old part of the original Roman amphitheatre.

We found this lovely restaurant by accident. (We were looking for another that had closed.) The food and house wine were great, as was the service. Owners Jodi and Fabio were wonderful hosts, treating us like regulars even though we were tourists and not likely to be able to return. It was one of the best meals we had during... More
