Like many reviewers before us, we agree that this restaurant has amazing views and an incredible setting, but you absolutely pay 'through the nose' for it........ the food was average and nothing like you would get from a local florentine restaurant that would be less then a third of the price. Our meals were overcooked and terribly salty..... we have... More

Food is quite good and service is prompt. I was in a group of 10 vacationers so they relaxed the dress code slightly for us. I thought the 7 euros for natural water was a little much when you are also paying service charge, etc. overall, it was a good choice for a dining experience.

The place is absolutly stunning and exclusive, the viewof Florence,the story of the place, the garden outisde really well kept. Service was just good, not exceptional for a 125 Euro per day dinner (with one glass of wine); I have received much better service in much cheaper restaurants. The food is good,but again not the quality I would remember after... More

Dined here last night on a fantastic recommendation from my colleague. If I had paid 2/3rds of the price I would have been satisfied given the location but I found the menu overpriced and you can find that quality of food elsewhere in Florence for half the price. For those that still want to try I strongly recommend that you... More

3 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 February 2012

I apologise to my fellow reviewers BUT we were utterly disappointed with this restaurant. The hotel design has been attributed to Michelangelo and is quite beautiful. The terrace on which you sit is a setting that is quite magnificent with views high in the hills across Florence. It inspires romance like no other. But the food is dreadful and suffers... More

From the moment you drive onto the property until you wave good bye, every moment is sheer perfection. While not inexpensive, it is worth every euro. Enjoy an aperitif on the lawn before your meal - or coffee and sweets on the lawn after. Course after course will arrive to thrill your senses. Located high on a hilltop, it is... More
