The 50 best Asian food in Florence

Noemi’s team was absolutely incredible! Their warm welcome and professionalism made our visit even more memorable. What started as just a meal turned into an amazing culinary experience. The flavors, the presentation of the dishes, and the attention to detail were simply perfect. A big thank you to the entire team for this exceptional moment! I highly recommend it without hesitation! Just consider the price is according to the full experience and place.

When we decided to visit Italy, we made a special stop in Florence for one reason, to dine at Cibreo. We were lucky enough to get a reservation for our last night in the city, and while I wouldn’t call it fate, it truly felt like the perfect ending to our time in Florence. From the moment we stepped inside, we were surrounded by an atmosphere of beauty and intention. Every detail of the décor seemed designed to captivate the senses, setting the stage for what would become one of the most unforgettable meals of our trip. When our food arrived, it was hard to put into words what we experienced. Each dish was so thoughtfully and masterfully executed that the only thing I could do was close my eyes and savor the incredible flavors dancing across my palate. From our table, we had a direct view of the kitchen, and it was like watching an orchestra in perfect harmony, each movement precise and graceful. The same sense of artistry carried into the front of house, led by a truly remarkable woman named Cristina. Cristina, even with a full house, you made every single guest feel as though they were the only one who mattered. Your warmth and grace made the evening feel truly magical. If you ever find yourself in Florence, treat yourself to Cibreo. It will be the best meal you have in the city. And if you cannot make it to the main restaurant, stop by the café. The tagliolini is the best I have ever had, and it is no surprise that this dish was named among the 25 best Italian pasta dishes by The New York Times.

A true and authentic Italian restaurant and that while it’s known by tourists it’s the locals place to go. Food is 5 stars. Wine is so incredible. You will not regret. Oso Bucco is the best.

The food was good. The service was not. I have not experienced a less warm welcome or dining experience in all of Italy than I did here. The staff failed to even execute offering a second glass of wine to my wife and I. It was bad enough that one member of the party thought the wait staff just didn’t like us and wasn’t willing to serve us like other customers. I wish I would have gone somewhere else- but at least the food saved the experience. I would choose any of the hundreds of restaurants that can cook just as well but treat you well - especially at this price point.

This was one of the most disappointing meals I’ve had in Italy! Almost everything we ordered was completely tasteless. How is it possible to find a better vitello tonnato in Brussels than in Florence? My starter of prawns with cocktail sauce was the only decent dish — though it’s hard to go wrong with prawns and cocktail sauce! The mushroom fish, on the other hand, was completely bland, with watery beans and a nearly raw, unseasoned mushroom. I lost my appetite so much that I didn’t even feel like trying dessert.

Delicious! A very unique and flavorful menu. We absolutely loved everything we tried!

Splendid Friday fine dining experience in this exquisite restaurant which is traditional and non-traditional at the same time. We went there for the pigeon which I had there around 4 years ago, but I had overlooked that pigeon is a seasonal product. Now we had some magical fish surprises in the form of shark, cuttlefish and amberjack, which all went very well with the biological Trentino Brusafer light Pinot Nero - with big thanks for the suggestion of the very kind and knowlegable sommelier. What abnice way to start the weekend!

After craving something non-Italian, we were thrilled to find this dog-friendly Japanese restaurant right next to our hotel. The floor manager, Tarou, was warm and hospitable. We tried a variety of dishes—an appetizer of four seasonal vegetables, Bara Chirashi, toro sashimi, and chicken karaage—but the fatty salmon sashimi and miso soup were the real standouts. Highly recommended!

We had a lovely meal and evening at Il Cuore. Tarou was incredibly knowledgeable and able to explain the provenance and history behind the dishes to us in both Japanese and English (he could have done so in Italian, but would have been no help to us!). The food was delicious, some of the best Japanese food I have had outside of Japan. A highlight was the pickled vegetables (漬物), which were rare to see on a menu and a real treat. The chef also came out to chat with us at the end of the meal and was a lovely lady, it really has made our trip. Wonderful all round.

This was by far the best meal of our entire time in Florence, maybe even our lives! Tarou treated us so kindly and shared incredible details about the food with us as we ate, while guiding us through the menu and sake pairings! When we made the reservation we were confused about the availability of the o-toro and when we were sad to have missed it, he made sure we got to try it regardless. Needless to say, we had a wonderful experience! Don’t miss the udon, or dessert as they were other stand outs from our meal that we would come back for if we could! The ambiance was delightful as well with jazz covers of ghibli soundtrack faves the entire night!

We had a really wonderful dinner. An authentic and personal experience. The decor made me feel like I was really in Japan. The food was fresh, it was light but filling and extremely tastey. We had a silver service by an exceptional restaurant manager named Teruo. I will be coming back here 100%

One of the best Japanese restaurant in Florence. The quality of the food is very high, it taste like you're actually in Japan. Very beware to the details of the presentation and the combinations of flavors. We tried kokoro menu with sake tasting. Can't wait to go back!

10/10 cannot rate highly enough! Without a doubt, the best culinary experience I’ve had in my life so far. Immediately on entering, the ambiance nearly made me forget I was in Italy, and they blended the interior decor with the construction of the existing Italian structure so well. Shortly after being greeted and seated by Tarou, the profoundly hospitable floor manager, I accidentally knocked a small glass dish off the table with the corner of my menu. I believe it was Megumi who, rather than admonishing me for my mistake, also greeted us with a smile while cleaning up the glass and making sure everything was alright. She was so delightful it helped me feel comfortable again after my blunder. We shared the Miso soup, the Udon with pork belly, the unbelievable gold-flaked O-toro, Tatsuta-age (fried chicken), and Dorayaki all paired with Sake and Sapporo with a final digestive to top everything off. Each, in their own different way, was perfect. Tarou guided us through the meal, providing interesting information about the history and craft behind each course. It’s evident everyone involved puts their care and knowledge into every detail of the experience. My only complaint is it had to come to an end. I wish the whole team the very best and I’m grateful to be one of their fortunate guests.

This is my favorite japanese restaraunt in Florence. My favorite is the dessert one, ice cream and warabi mochi with Kinako. The food is amazing in any dish. I visited several time and the stabdard is alway the same. It is better to have a reservation before you go to make sure you will have the seat.

One of the most incredible dining experiences I have ever had. They are on the Michelin list but I think that doesn’t describe how wonderful, inventive, and chic this establishment is! They truly deserve a Michelin star or two or three! Food, vibes, cocktails, staff, all incredible.

This place lacks substance but trying way too hard to be Pop… I definitely appreciated the attentive service, but my overall experience was deeply underwhelming. The restaurant’s aesthetic leans heavily into trendy, "pop" sensibilities, but the execution lacks cultural authenticity and culinary finesse—resulting in dishes that feel gimmicky rather than thoughtfully crafted. - Bao: The dough was unacceptably thick—reminiscent of pizza crust—completely overpowering the filling and betraying the delicate texture expected of proper bao. - Dong Po Rou (东坡肉): A shocking misstep. The braised pork was dry and choking, lacking the melt-in-your-mouth richness this classic dish demands. Even a humble Hangzhou eatery’s version (my previous benchmark for "worst") was vastly superior. - 烤麸 (Braised Wheat Gluten): Overwhelmingly salty, with the artificial aftertaste of canned preservatives—no depth or balance. - Misguided "Dream of Red Chamber" Theme: As a person who once dis a PhD in Hong Lou Meng, I was baffled by the inclusion of lychee (a fruit, not a cooking ingredient in the text) and lobster (never mentioned in the novel). This feels like a superficial attempt to capitalize on literary prestige without genuine understanding. The service team deserves praise, but the kitchen and concept need urgent reevaluation. Authenticity isn’t about ornate decor or name-dropping classics—it’s about respect for technique and tradition. Currently, this feels like a hollow pastiche.

Unbelievable and unique. Food was awesome and so was the service. Highly recommend. If you want to experience something different with some familiar flavours book here.

Italian/Western/“modern” twist on fine dining Chinese cuisine. Very strong artistic direction in the food, experience and interior design. The staff are excellent and it is clear that every dish, and moment is passionately cared for. I had ‘meat’ tasting menu with tasting wine. Wine pairing in line with the creative concept. An excellent experience with also a creative sense of humour. Highlights for me, beef muscle starter (long cook Chinese spice beef with modern start twist) , (gold) soup dumpling and the fun candy inspired Yoyoi Kusama salad - the latter paired with a tuscany mango-peach white wine. For me personally as an asian, I would like to see stronger chinese confidence in the flavours - it is there but I think it can be bolder! I would guess the main clientele is not yet used to strong asian flavours + knowledge. I enjoy this tension however. “Ethnic” food is always some form of negotiation. Deserving of a Michelin star. Much enjoyed thank you very much! Go support this inspiring woman of colour owned business 🌸

This restaurant is a real gem in Florence. It is a Modern creative Chinese Experience. The tasting menu pairing with cocktails will be blow your mind. The Chef is so pasionate, the whole experience was incredible. Highly recomended.

As interesting as it is for a couple of Americans to travel to Florence to eat a dim sum tasting menu, there were absolutely zero regrets. Everything from the atmosphere, taste and service were perfect. I love how the chef came to our table and spoke about her childhood and how it inspired the dishes. You can definitely feel a child like nostalgia come out from the presentation. Everything was incredibly playful. I went into this experience with not having a pallet for sea food, and I am happy to say this changed it for me. This restaurant made me LOVE seafood. The highlight was definitely the sea bass and the sea urchin bao which I would’ve never believed to say before. If you are in Florence, this is definitely a must try. Congratulations for making it on the Michelin guide and I cannot wait to watch the restaurant grow in popularity.

One of the more interesting Michelin awardees that I have experienced this trip. The setting is elegant and the concoction of Chinese dim sum-inspired dishes (360 degree Fantasy tasting menu) is nothing less than fun and invigorating. The owner is hospitable and a casual chat revealed that she was in fashion industry, which explains the coutour-ish food presentation. The cocktail pairing is great but I presume Chinese tea pairing would be exquisite! Service is impeccable and we all had a wonderful evening at the dining table.

I had the pleasure to celebrate a family birthday dinner at Dim Sum and the experience was wonderful, a kind lady selected a well located table in their main salon, which is perfectly decorated with ceiling frescoes, pleasant din light and and clean table arrangement with tea pot offered once seated. We had seaweed, shrimp and pork meat dumplings, delicious Thai sauce spaghetti, a hot spicy sauce broth with vegetables, noodles and dumplings, which was amazingly good. The staff is very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the products offered in the menu. I will be a regular customer!!

Best Dim Sum in Florence. Was amazing. We ordered multiple varieties and they were all awesome. I will definitely come back. Staff was very nice and quick service. Our waitress Chiara was so good at explaining all the dishes, very nice. Thank you for the best experience.

Good tasting fusion Chinese food though not authentic tasting, it was a great place to visit. The ingredients are well made and seasoned.

This is a very beautiful restaurant however the service was very slow, the food good. They have both indoor and outdoor sitting options, I’d recommend sitting in side the restaurant is beautiful, the outside looks basic but the inside is aesthetically pleasing especially the restroom/bathroom. I have never seen a restaurant with such a beautiful restroom.

Me and partner had 6 types of dimsum to share, food taste ok ! For someone that lived in China for 6 years the food lack of taste. It’s ok but not wow! Ha gao skin too thick and with polpo it doesn’t taste good. The art of eating Xiao long bao is poke a hole drink the soup first but the xiao long bao here quiet dry.. guotie not enough grilled Sichuan sauce okay lack of “mala”maybe to adjust with local taste. Employees sounds Filipina/o not chinese but are friendly and fast worker

I had the vegetarian ravioli which is basically dumplings and sautéed vegetables. The vegetables were very well spiced however the ravioli lacked taste and the dips - the soy one was too salty and the other one was spicy but lacking some zest. They charge 3 euros for the dining service as a fixed price.

When you are craving Chinese food in Florence, this is the place. Authentic dim sum and more. Beautifully presented delicious and great service

The place is lovely and cozy with a nice selection of food. Many dishes are a bit too ‘westernized’ but overall great. Pekin duck is not as crispy as it should be. Amazing dessert. Extra plus: parking!

What an amazing dinner. Lucia was very kind to help us choose the right dishes as we are vegetarians. She was very attentive to hear each one of our needs. She made our dinner worthwhile. Food was great too. Even their desserts were pretty well done.

Good Chinese food, nice atmosphere. Recommend the green beans and the sweet & sour vegetables

Food is delicious. Nice restaurant.

Beautiful restaurant in Florence dumplings Boccolio with pork were excellent as was chicken with ginger and the kung bao all very very good we will definitely come back here

This is what I'd expect of a proper Chinese restaurant - very impressed! Great service, delicious dishes and comfortable ambience. The fried rice and rice cakes were good but I want to come back and try the shared plates!

Good chinese food.

A hidden gem in the hustle and bustle of Florence. Tried the tempura udon and katsudon. Miso soup was complimentary and it was home made and fresh. Refreshing, intense flavours and not boiling hot. Miso soup should not be boiling. The dashi and bonito really shines through in both dishes. Tempura was crisp, had a bite to it and well seasoned. The green teas were good and fragrant, like it should be. Very tasty dishes. The host and chefs are great, kind, and fun. A great place to eat and enjoy the end of Friday. The place was full when we left. A strong 5🌟

A very cozy place with great seating arrangements. However, The owner did seem a bit judgmental and wasn’t welcoming. Besides that the food was subpar and the quantity was very small. Reused oil which lacked freshness and soggy rice. No spicy condiments but they had a spicy mayo. Omakase has a different meaning here.

If you like ramen - this is your place to go. It was incredible good!

The place has a really nice and homy vibe. The service was fast and good, the server was attentive and the restaurant offers complementary miso to every guest, as well as a tris of mini appetizers. The lunch menu costs 15€ and you have a choice of a main and a starter. We got the takoyaki, which were awesome, and the vegetarian curry, which was tasty but a bit monotonous. The dessert were 5€ each and were good, but next time I would personally skip them. The matcha cheesecake was tiny for the price, the ice cream mochi was not great. Overall very nice.

Great tasting freshly made Japanese food, cozy place, very friendly and welcoming owner! Cannot recommend this place enough if you’re looking for a great meal and a pleasant experience! So glad that we stopped here for dinner! Lorenzo (if I remember the owners name correctly) offered his help to us first-time Florence tourists multiple times, offered his phone for wifi/hotspot, called a taxi, and went out of his way to help with what he could. Highly recommend stopping by here!

Adorable outdoor seating next to the Sant’Ambrogio market. You get a miso soup with your welcome, and a sort of plum (liquor?) at your goodbye... which was soooo good, btw! We got the plate of ‘assaggi’ for 23€/head and that way we got a taste of about everything on the menu... each with a thoughtful, creative presentation. Delightful experience for an alternative to the usual meal in Flo! Highly recommended! Service outstanding, friendly and funny. We had such a good time.

Delicious! Plenty of vegetarian options. The staff was very friendly.

After watching Tucci in Italy and realizing Florence was on our itinerary, we knew we had to try Cibleo – Tortelli e Ravioli. As a huge fan of Asian cuisine, the idea of an Asian-Tuscan fusion spot in the heart of Florence was too intriguing to pass up. Every dish was crafted with intention and creativity—combinations I never would have imagined, yet they worked beautifully. The standout for me was the pork belly tacos. They had just the right amount of heat and were incredibly well balanced. We also opted to add the bao buns to our course, which were equally fantastic—pillowy soft and packed with flavor. We were lucky enough to sit at the bar, right in front of the chef, who walked us through each dish as it was prepared. It turned a great meal into a truly memorable experience. Amazing food, thoughtful fusion, and a personal touch—definitely a highlight of our trip.

Highly recommend the tasting menu and experience here. We enjoyed sitting at the bar to watch the chefs. High quality ingredients and good flavors. Excellent service and suggest making a reservation. Unique mix of Japanese and Tuscan flavors. Outdoor seating also available.

This is one of the best meals of my life. Every course was perfectly balanced and unique! It’s a completely different experience than the rest of Florence, but that made it special. I still cannot believe we had a 7 course tasting for 50€! We would highly recommend visiting after experiencing Florence for a few days. That gave us time to try the local dishes and better understand the fusion and nods to Tuscan foods!

What a fantastic evening! I was here alone and had dinner at the bar. You’re immediately made to feel comfortable. Enjoyed 7 delicious courses, each with its own explosion of flavors. Highly recommended: add the Gyozas to your menu. There’s an excellent selection of great Sake! Tip: order the No. 315. Compliments to the staff, who are also super friendly. Gr. Luuk

We did the lunch tasting menu because that’s all we could squeeze in. Everything was great. My wife doesn’t eat red meat and the chef accommodated her. Wish we could’ve tried the dinner menu.

A must do for an extraordinary experience of the tasting menu here. Staff were kind and generous despite being a full house. It was great to have a tasty and well thought out non Tuscan meal in the middle of a 4 week trip in Italy. Highly recommended.

I made a purposeful detour to Florence just to experience the tasting menu after seeing Ciblèo showcased on Stanley Tucci’s show, and was terribly disappointed. From the first bite, I was not impressed. The only 2 dishes I enjoyed were the brisket taco and the dessert. Even the additional add-on of shrimp gyoza was not great- too doughy with minimal flavor. The restaurant has had recent staff changes, so this may be why results fell short of expectations.

Amazing food and service. The food is delicious and very beautiful. They have an easy system to order and the staff are very friendly.

One of the best sushi restaurants I have been to. We got the 24 piece boat. The boat had every type of raw sushi you could possibly want. Oyster, scallop, shrimp, shrimp roll, salmon, tuna, swordfish, presentation was the very best. Price was definitely right on.

I am from East Asia. Here I had the best Sushi and Sashimi in Firenze. The sauté shrimps and tempura shrimps are amazing. The owners were very friendly, and the service was great. The restaurant that I definitely would like to come again.

My first evening in Florence, Italy, couldn't have been more memorable, all thanks to the incredible hospitality at Wabi Sabi. As a newcomer to the city, I found myself stranded without a taxi to return to my hotel after a delicious dinner just before closing time. The owner, embodying true kindness and generosity, not only called a taxi for us but also waited patiently outside until one arrived. The genuine care and consideration made me feel truly welcome in this beautiful city. I'm immensely grateful for the warmth and hospitality extended by both the owner and the staff. If you're looking for not just exceptional food but also genuine care and attention, thi is the place to be in Florence. Highly recommended!

They have all-you-can-eat option for lunch $15 and evening $28, or you can order from menu. Authentic Japanese style food and very helpful staff speak Japanese, Italian, and English. We were delightfully impressed with food, service and atmosphere. We will definitely come back.

Great Food and price. Amazing service.

To start, good service. Unfortunately I was put off by the meal. The rice used was not of great quality. Due to my own fault of not understanding Italian when I really should have been more prepared, I did not realise that there was an all you can eat option which may have raised my perception of the restaurant. That said, portioning of the eel and the taste of it left something to be desired. As mentioned previously, the rice was not good. I left feeling unfulfilled. Though that's of course a danger of eating Japanese food in Italy. Of course, I don't want to plainly bash the restaurant because I'm sure they take pride in what they do but I don't really have much else to say. Water was good.

It’s located at a corner of the street and we nearly missed it coz the name is at the other side of the corner. From the main road, we thought it was a bakery as there were lotsa baked goods (something not very likely in a 🇯🇵 restaurant). 😉 but the outcome of the ramen taste is quite authentic (maybe not fully same as in 🇯🇵) but very acceptable quality. The menu is lengthy and needs some digestion before we can order 🤪 quite well patronised as there are crowds drifting in and out constantly. Service staff is polite and friendly 👍🏻 they can understand English which makes comm easier. 👍🏻

I went there and tried their Shoyu Chasyumen combo with Meat Fried Rice and Gyoza. While the Gyoza is decent and meat fried rice is okay, the ramen is a bit lacking in term of flavor and the noodle itself is very basic. Having said that, for a ramen place in Florence, this might be your best bet. So, if you are tired of all those tratorria, bistro, pasta and pizza, trying this place aint bad at all (price is super affordable too)

we're craving for Asian food and were looking for Asian food near our hotel and found this place with pretty good rating. ordered the miso ramen which was just mediocre. taste-wise, can't compare to what we can get in Asia but it's pretty decent. the miso in the soup is not strong and would be better if the egg is not hard boiled. the gyoza is slightly better although the skin is a bit thick. not bad if you're looking for Asian food.

Came here for Shoryu ramen and I got a version of it. I have eaten ramen all over the world and this one was good. Strong shoryu broth, char shu was good and plentiful if you order the larger size. Ramen was al dente. I would have preferred bamboo shoots rather than beansprouts. Service was fine and quick. Don't forget it's a bar that also serve coffees and Italian food. The chef is from Japan 4.5🌟

NICOLO the Italian guy working there , tell me you have to do a reservation , and they have plenty tables, I ask to make a reservation for next day don’t even ask you for your name, honestly he will sit you if he know you or if he likes you , do not Recomendo this place at all, he said all reservation he pass by him , don’t even ask your name or write on a paper . I don’t understand how has a good reviews this place .

So I came here extremely hungry and ordered a cold ramen to cool down from the summer heat, and everything was great until I got a very small portion of unseasoned bowl of raw ingredents. I was at least expecting a bit of cold soup as it was called a miso soup ramen, but instead there was only a small amount of soup at the very bottom, that I could not drink because it was too constrated. The food did not taste bad but I still got a bit shocked. The egg was a nice touch but the rest was a bit underwhelming and the noodles where undercooked. There was no line and the food came after a short wait so that was good. I was still hungry after eating but didn't want to order another hot ramen. 5/10

The ramen was ok, don't expect too much. The owner was very friendly though.

Really delicious and authentic Sichuan cuisine. We needed a palate cleanse from all the creamy food and Chongqing definitely was that! The food was spicy, full of flavor and great wok! We recommend the beef fried rice, the stir fry beans, the sweet & sour fried shrimp and the stir fry beef. Some of the dish was a bit too salty but overall we really enjoyed the food here.

The restaurant is stunning, has AC and good service. All the staffs look nice and friendly. I’m not Chinese so cannot say they are authentic or not, but all dishes we tried are so good. Taste nice and flavorful. We even called 4 bowls of rice and came back to this restaurant the next day after the 1st try, bcuz the food were delicious. Must try!!!

A nice Sichuan-style restaurant. Since Chongqing used to be part of Sichuan, their flavors are very similar. After three days of eating meat and Italian dishes, we were really craving some Asian-style spicy vegetables. Every dish here went beyond our expectations. If you ever need Chinese food while in Florence, don’t forget to stop by this place

We love Italian food, but after a few days, we were craving something spicy—and Chongqing delivered. It’s some of the best Szechuan food we’ve had in Europe. We ate here twice for dinner and especially enjoyed the Sichuan fish and spicy sour fish. The Sichuan fish was rich, oily, and perfectly spicy, while the spicy sour fish was light, tangy, and refreshing. We also tried the Sichuan beef, mapo tofu, stir fried beef, and morning glory—all flavorful and well-prepared. Highly recommend if you’re looking for authentic, bold Szechuan flavors while in Europe.

Hands down the best restaurant in Florence. Can’t believe I am saying a Chinese restaurant is the best restaurant in all of Florence but srsly, this place is good. Highly recommend the fried rice, noodle soup and stir fry!! My husband and I ordered 4 dishes and only cost us €31. What a good deal! Will definitely be back before we leave Florence.

The best dinners in Italy during my trip!!!!!!!!! The food is so fantastic just feels like in Chongqing. The owner is super well organized and she will definitely get you a seat as soon as she can during the peak hours. Btw my husband and I almost get every dinner during our 4-day stay in Florence haha.

Ordered Mapo Tofu and Feichang Fish, wow, amazing food. The fish is delicious and the Mapo Tofu tastes best with the rice. Would come back again.

Amazing japanese restaurant. The best japanese experience I had in Firenze. The service was perfect, and the food left us speechless. 10/10 would recommend.

We went for dinner, the place was full, so they asked us to wait for few minutes till they arrange tabel for us, and after few minutes table was available and ready, thanks for the service, the meals were great and very good tasting, highly recommended for 🇯🇵 food lovers.

Very different in a good way from Japanese restaurants running by Chinese, this restaurant is rather close to the original Japanese food. The dishes were tasty but in my opinion not enough for the price. Omurise was with lots of mushrooms which were not very good with shrimps. Ramen was good (still not as good as in Japan, but best in Florence). Sushi were yummy and fresh, very good service and beautiful place.

Nice new addition to our neighbourhood, a Japanese restaurant offering more elegant versions of traditional cuisine prepared with truly unique food (go find wagyu in our neighbourhood) and they can afford it since the cooks are Japanese indeed. The desserts are also very good.

Great traditional Japanese restaurant with a cozy atmosphere, lots of attention to all ingredients that come to each dish as everything is there on purpose and you can appreciate the taste of each single one. Recommend the lobster salad with apple and avocado for starter!

Again, I don’t usually do reviews but this is one of the best (and reliable) Japanese places in Florence. I’ve tried plenty of restaurants in New York, Japan, Europe, and South America and I think this one hits perfectly a balance of traditional and experimental. The food is not a run-off-the-mill Italian take on Japanese, but a wonderful spin on the ingredients of what makes Japanese food already so great. Highly recommend!

Amazing and authentic ! My favorite Japanese restaurant in Florence, great sushi, but not only! Beautiful and elegant interior design with a japanese garden inside. Highly recommend 🌸

Food is extremely tasty. They did an amazing job processing special food requests and restrictions! Staff is also very friendly. All around great place to have a meal!

The restaurant is beautiful and elegant, the food is pretty delicious and you have the amazing all you can eat <3 option. If you are in Florence you need to eat here as with a really good price you can eat good sushi of good quality with a pretty fast service and please for the desert you have to taste the ice cream of rice, tea and lemon with basil

I use to go and order regularly since a couple of years... but I would not anymore; - the welcome is cold as ice, - looks like a food factory very unpersonalised, - food quality went down a lot. - decoration is nice and warm. It's a pitty. All you can eat for 30eur in a nice dinning environment, is that too ambitious?

During our stay in Florence the kids wanted a break from the delicious regional cuisine. We found Aji Tei and they were thrilled. Everything was fresh and delicious. The crowd was mainly local leaning toward younger and hip with some older wanna-stay-hip folk as well. The restaurant is beautifully designed and maintained. Had a great evening there.

We loved this place. The staff and food were amazing. Especially, the hostess was very polite and caring. Definitely recommended!

Best sushi restaurant ever!! Kind staff and comfortable atmosphere. The indoor architecture and decor is amazingly unique. This one is worth a try:

It is a little bit expensive, but the food is delicious and the style of the place is AMAZING. You feel that you are inside a sculpture, really zehn.

Absolutely loved this place - the setting, the service, the food were all amazing. Highly recommended!

As an asian that breathes and live travelling in Italy, can't be doing spaghetti and pizza the whole time. Chanced upon this place via chatgpt recommendation near our hotel and for an asian standard, its good. the services were fast and staffs were accommodative, though can be improved because the staff messed up 2 out of 5 orders, but it was sorted as it was a busy day in the shop, so it was acceptable.

The quality has gone down by alot. It used to be really good, no more. We were served tiny BROKEN soba noodle (very small like at the end of a packet, which is very unprofessional) when we raised the issue with the staff they will talk to chef and 10 minutes later, no response. my dish had salmon which was not fresh at all, honestly a lil unedable i left all the salmon behind in my plate. very dissatisfied, much better Japanese spots in town

The menu is a bit fusion instead of the classic Japanese clean cut; many of the rolls have sauces and are crispy. For people who like more clean cuts, perhaps ordering nigiris or hosomakis is a better call, but if you like Japanese fusion it’s a good option. The service is great.

Good food although quite pricey for the portion sizes. Quality and freshness of the food was phenomenal. But the spicy tuna was a little bit to spicy in my opinion because the spice overpowered the tuna taste so you would just taste that. But otherwise the flavors were quite good.

Really wonderful restaurant. We were enjoying our Florence vacation and just needed a change from Italian food. This was really really good. Nice atmosphere, good service, delicious food. They get busy. We went without a reservation but I'd suggest one.

If you’re spending quite some time in Florence and after a few days you’re like, “Man, I can’t eat any more pasta or Fiorentina steak” (even though they’re all wonderful), and you just crave something different—like Japanese food—this place is absolutely fantastic. Everything is delicious and super fresh, the fish is incredible, and we had an amazing tuna. It’s really welcoming and suits everyone. Totally worth a visit if you get that craving for some Japanese flavors in the middle of your Florence trip.

I have it only 3 stars because of the serving sizes. It is ridiculous how small the plates are and when you take this into account the place is expensive. We literally had to dine to another place after having dinner here.

What an incredible meal! Alessia made us feel at home, and the experience was wonderful. Food was out of this world. The Sake got the mood going and the food was 10/10

The food was exceptional. Both the regular meals, and the specialties. Tried the edamame, uakame, and the sushi. 5+. The gyokyu beef is totally amazing, as well. Do check the place out, you will definitely enjoy it!

Everything is quite perfect! Hospitality was really good, the decoration is nice. Staff are helpful and the food is tastey and I liked it. The service was almost fast. Prices are higher than other places but remember that you're paying for a very good quality and fresh food. The place is easy to reach and find. I would go again to Koko.

We love Koko! The food is delicious and the team are lovely. Perfect for a date night or family meal.

The food was refined, tasty and creative, it deserved 5 stars. (We didn't try desserts) On the other hand, the service was way too long...! What a pity and definitively not on the level of the quality of the food. As for the drinks, Pinot rouge is from a good Winnery (San Michele Appiano) but was served too warm (ambiant temperature in August around 28°). I'm sommelier in a Parisian palace and it's hard to be told it has 2 ways to be served (which can be true for some wines, not all though...) and more seriously not during summertime. Red wines of terroirs like pinots & gamay (light and young) are ideal around 14-16°c, otherwise it becomes a basic heavy fat taste. Such a shame and sacrilege for a good wine like this and with such good food...

You can count the places that have sushi as good as Koko's on 1 hand. Not only is the quality of the fish incredible, the creativity and thought that goes into each dish is impeccable. Top it off with great service and slick interiors and you have one of the best restaurants in Florence.

This place has a really modern cozy vibe. I would recommend you sit right outside of the garden if you're not a smoker a d do not like to smell smoke especially when eating. The service was on the slower side - the prices were definitely overpriced, but if you don't want Italian food you'll be willing to pay! The rock shrimp was delicious ( a little salty ). The elephant role was fresh!! Can't taste the fish which is great! They also had spicey mayo which I thought being in Italy was a plus!!!

Taste food, kind staff, nice atmosphere. Big size rolls. We got dragon tempura - it was really good. Recommend

service is very fancy, attentive, high-end kinda style and polite a quiet, serious/elegant place, not really my vibe the sushi tho, not quite the experience i expected considering the price, i just didn’t love the quality/flavors

Mar 2025 Dinner 12 of us Tasty japanese foods. A bit fusion style but taste very good. Service is very good.

This place was right down the block from my Airbnb, and I got to say It would have been worth a 25 minute walk. Super cute spot, well air conditioned, and perhaps some of the freshest fish I've had in quite some time. Coming from South Florida where we have some of the best sushi around, this place was a welcomed surprise with fantastic salmon nigiri and delicious truffle gyozas. In a city where I was not expecting to be wowed with sushi, this place really hit the spot. Keep up the great work and I will definitely be back.

Great ambiance and really nice meal for when you need a break from Italian food. Be sure to sit in the garden! Food is a little overpriced but nothing too outrageous given the luxury experience.

Amazing sushi, helpful and friendly staff!

We are a family of Indian food lovers, the restaurant offers very high quality Indian food and a cute Indian atmosphere! Highly recommend to anyone who has not eaten at the restaurant to come and eat, we sat there for dinner and it was very fun. The restaurant is also very clean and you can also come as a group and eat.

Excellent food, excellent service. Wd definitely advise anybody to go there.

The best Indian restaurant in Florence and areas. The waitress was very kind and the food was absolutely delicious ! Will definitely come back

The food was very delicious and the waitress was nice, organised and fast :)

Delicious

Never again

Lovely chinese restaurant. The food and service are excellent. Its a nice walk thru a cool neighborhood, just a few blocks from the city walls. Food was fresh and it's a cool upscale setting great place

Nice chinese restaurant, place is a beautiful. Ravioli standard with good price, their pancetta 回锅肉top! Reminds me of China! 🇨🇳!5 months in Italy so far the best chinese restaurant i have tried. For me only missing chilies but the lady told me next time i can asked for the chili oil from kitchen. Riso fritto also good can smell that burnt smell. Price is very good we only spent about 28 euro for two people.

We really enjoy the foods there tonight, service was great , a lady there so helpful help us to recommend the food, and her husband works there as the chef, so she make sure our order came out good 😊. Recommended!

Ordered through a delivery app, honestly so good and authentic. I come from Markham, Canada - a city renowned for some of the world’s best Asian cuisine; and this restaurant was genuinely some of the best Chinese food I’ve ever had, better than some restaurants back home.

Food was amazing. Had dumplings with shrimp and pork. Also had squid 🤩 would highly recommend this palce

Amazing Chinese restaurant in Florence. The hand made Chinese pancakes and Kobe beef steak is unforgettable. Worth a visit.

Horrible tasting food. Beggars can’t be choosers so the price matches the bad quality. 0 authenticity

I've never been in the restaurant, but I ordered twice. The package arrived in a very good conditions and well ordered. The menu is explained well and food is delicious. I highly recommend!

Friendly staff and freshly prepared food. I have been to Temakinho many times (in Milan). My first time in Florence was not a disappointment. The sushi is great as always and the cocktails too, as I have come to expect. It’s nice to see small changes in the menu between restaurants that make it familiar enough but with a twist. The restaurant was short staffed as a member of staff had to leave as she wasn’t feeling well. However, the staff on site managed the situation perfectly and service was great, as always.

This place was a great discovery! Needed a break from Italian food and sushi was the right decision. place is absolutely beautiful inside and service is great, just a little slow?

This japanese restaurant is the best location. This is the newest restaurant in town. It is a colorful decoration. You can take a picture inside a restaurant. The food is a fusion japanese restaurant.

We suddenly plan to eat sushi and turn out the best sushi I have tried so far really good place and food is so good must recommended

Very delicious food with a fantastic choice on their menu. Lovely environment and surroundings too. Great place to go with friends.

It’s a really good place in amazing location in Florence. Sushi is not about sushi but about amazing mix with Brazilian food. Mandioca and cheese empanadas are crazy amazing and the king of the menu is the dessert BOLO PRESTIGIO that is a perfect mix of chocolate cake and coconut.

The food was ver dry Maybe 2/3 days before they cooked. It's test like I'm eating a spicy ching gum 🤮🤮

Just passed by looking for food, and boy am glad we chose this place. An unforgettable kebab experience. Everything we trued tasted really fresh and handmade, portion is generous too and very affordable.

Visited on 8 June 2025 (Day 2/16) An amazing and timely find upon arrival in Florence. Located just a stone’s throw from the train station and right beneath my BnB, this spot was a pleasant surprise. The set menu prices seemed almost too good to be true—very affordable with generous portions and a wide variety of drinks to choose from. The food was tasty, and there’s a cosy dining area at the back with warm decor and thoughtful renovations that added to the charm. Highly recommended for a convenient and satisfying meal in the city!

We had the chicken doner wrap at I Re d'Egitto and it was absolutely delicious! The meat was tender and full of flavor, the wrap was fresh, and the portion was satisfying. The staff were kind and welcoming, and the service was fast. A great spot in Florence for a quick and tasty meal. Highly recommended!

I ordered a shawarma for €6.5, but they charged me €7.5 on my card When I pointed it out, they tried to brush it off I let it go because it wasn’t worth the hassle, but tourists should be careful! The food was also way too salty and honestly tasted terrible

Was waiting for a bus and stumbled upon this gem of a place. If I lived in the area I’d go back often! Had a wrap filled with veggies and meat that was equally moist and flavorful. Highly recommend!

Saved from starvation after a long flight. Arrived to Firenze really late and went out looking for a place to eat when everything was being closed. Really good food in a simple and very busy environment. There were lines at 11:30pm!

Quite alright for Chinese restaurant in Florence. They have a good mix of the usual Chinese food plus modern dishes such as mala xiang Guo. The taste were good but not wow . Mapo tofu and mala spicy very mild.

We came for a trip to Italy and along with the place, we fell in love with this chinese restaurant too. We ordered Grandma's fried rice, steamed chicken dumplings, ramen, gabao chicken and in-house red wine. Everything was heaven, very delicious and i felt it was worth every penny we spent. Highly recommended.

I'm Malaysian Chinese. I have ordered fried rice, pork ribs noodles and spicy fried chicken. The food is very authentic Chinese cuisine. To anyone sick of eating pasta, pizza and panini should give this place a try to satisfy the home sickness of Chinese food.

Authentic asian flavors, bursting with aroma, spices, and heat. Service is ok. Price is good. A stone throne away from Academia, a perfect spot for a post museum visit break.

Was looking for different food after days of pizza / pasta and limited veg etc and Alfani 149 perfectly delivered. Nothing fancy just good, well-seasoned, generously portioned Chinese food - wonton soup was lovely and warming with lots of wonton for 3 people, sweet and sour pork as you'd expect, crispy pork ribs had a good spice to them, grandma rice was nice and you can't go wrong with the pak choi which came with tasty mushrooms.

We ordered takeaway for 8 people. Food was fresh, packed well, delicious and incredibly well priced. We were really craving Chinese (and especially vegetables) at this point of the trip, and this really hit the spot! We ordered a large variety of dishes and really enjoyed all of them.

After several days of eating Italian food, we came here to have something Chinese to rebalance our palates. We ordered four dishes: a tomato and egg soup, stir-fried cabbage, fried Bee Hoon, and sweet and sour pork. Of these four, we liked the stir-fried cabbage the best. Just that it was too oily. It is good to tell the serving staff to reduce the oil in all the dishes you have ordered. The soup missed the mark on taste because the taste of the tomatoes couldn’t come through in the soup. So, it is more like an egg-based soup with the tomatoes served as decorations. The fried Boon Hoon could do better without the hard fried fritters getting in the way, and the sweet and sour pork tasted more like deep fried meat drenched in A1 tomato sauce. So food-wise, the taste needs improvement, especially when the Chef has more time to prepare the dishes for an almost empty restaurant. For these, I am giving the restaurant only 2 stars. Service-wise, it is okay. The serving staff was responsive, but was not making any kind of recommendations; just responding to our questions and need for clarifications about the items in the menu. For this, I am giving the service we have received only 2 stars. So, on average, for taste and service, the restaurant will get 2 stars from me. All in all, this place is a nice change go us in this trip. The staff is Chinese speaking and there are some Chinese speaking patrons dining at the restaurant, which made things homey for us. For this, I will give a bonus star. So, it is 3 stars for the Alfani 149 restaurant.

Delicious. The vegetables they use are so fresh and tasty. The noodles were perfect too.

This place is very much alike authentic korean small cafes, where they prepare your food just in front of you. The menu is not very long, but everything in it is very delicious. Definitely recommend to visit it.

If you want good and somewhat authentic south Korean food in Firenze, this is not the place. But if you are Asian and crave some Asian food after having too much Italian food, this will satisfy your craving slightly. The food we tried was very basic Korean style that any high school Korean student can do. There is no service, you order and pick up from the counter. The lady seems fierce but she is actually OK. Bottomline, don't go there for if you're looking for great Korean food, go only if you want some Korean taste to satisfy your craving. It's not that bad, it's just very basic Korean food.

Hidden away in a small corner in Florence is an authentic Korean restaurant. Imo (auntie) chef was so nice and the food was amazing. We decided to have our orders for take-out and ate it at our hotel. Gamsahabnida!

I love having lunch here!! Dishes are fresh and cooked to perfection. The restaurant is #vegan, #vegetarian, #family, #friends -friendly. Self-service and quite casual. Prices are around 7-10€ per dish. One omelette made with fresh #tofu and vegetables is about €8-9 and 8 grilled dumplings are €9. Menu is available in Italian and English. Closed on Sundays.

Casual comfort korean food, place is very clean, nicely organized. It’s self service so no need to wait in line to get seated. Food was great and we cleaned our plate!

On our way to an Italian restaurant to grab lunch, we stumbled upon this and I liked the menu, we decided to skip Italian food this time and eat here. The korean lady, who's also the cook, came to take our orders, my friend isn't familiar with Korean cuisine so she inquired about some dishes and their ingredients, the lady looked annoyed and pointed to the list of ingredients in the menu. (We have dietary restrictions so we were just double checking and menus usually list only the main ingredients). We both ordered Udong, it tasted good, super warm for chilly March. We left as soon as we finished as we felt unwelcome. I'm giving 3 stars for bad service.

Great staff. Great value. Great ambience once we asked them to turn down the music a bit. We are vegan so choices are limited but we really enjoyed our tofu, mushroom and vegetables. A side of vegan cannelloni (possibly made with leek), boiled rice. A big bottle of sparkling water and a beer. 41 euro for 2 of us. The staff were attentive, polite and professional.

Great food and great service

Good traditional chinese cuisine. High quality plates with good ingredients. A bit pricey, been there twice and we spent on average 30-40€ per person.

A rare Cantonese restaurant in Italy. a restaurant worth going to.👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Wow, This food is amazing! I'm in love with this place！！！

When a cantonese misses flavors from home.. this the right pkace!

Best Cantonese food in Florence, great service, chic place.

This was an amazing experience! Great quality food and superb service from Andy and his staff. First Korean BBQ I see with coal (instead of gas) way better taste. They even help you prepare the food and recommend how to eat it for an explosion of flavors. We came from Mexico and stayed 5 days in Florence, we just had to go eat here 5 days in a row, that's how good it is =). This became my favorite restaurant ever! So if you are in Florence, please do yourself a favor and go eat here, you will not regret it. Gamsahabnida Andy and Hallasan, see you soon! 앤디와 할라산, 고맙습니다. 곧 뵙겠습니다!

We had an outstanding Korean BBQ lunch in Florence. The marinated and non-marinated beef were both excellent - perfectly tender and flavorful. The meal came with a generous variety of Korean side dishes, all freshly made and full of authentic taste. Our waiter was fantastic, guiding us through the cooking process, helping to grill and cut the meat, and suggesting how to combine the flavors for the best experience. It was one of the most delicious and enjoyable meals we’ve had in Florence, highly recommended!

We had a spiritual experience eating the wagyu beef from both America (Snake River Farms) and Japan. They also suggested how to eat it (first with salt, then with salt and ginger, etc). Sides were so delicious we accidentally ate all of a couple of them before the meat came out. Such a delightful break from so much pasta.

My GOODNESS!!! The meat is so tender. The sides are perfect with a great verity. I'm from LA in California, I've had great top quality KBBQ many times. This place tops or. I'm serious. Crazy that the best I've had is in itally. Wish I could come back!

Authentic Korean food at reasonable price. Food was good, staffs were friendly and interior deco was interesting, but a little too dark. If you want to taste real Korean dishes, this is a good place.

One of the greatest Korean food I ever ate so far. The food, k-pop music in the background, the staffs — this is the place everyone should go to 🤍 I will come here again someday, over and over again.

I have had a week of great meals in Rome and Florence, and this might be my favourite one. I’m biased as I am Korean (Canadian), but this is in my top 3 k bbq restaurants all time. I am very surprised to find something of this quality and authenticity in Italy! Some items like the olive leaf side-dish is better than I have had anywhere else. The beef and pork belly was amazing and cooked and served to us. The kimchi stew and bulgogi bibimbap were very solid too. Great service too, which Korean cuisine isn’t really known for.

Homely vibes with super cute service from the owner and his dog 🤍 definitely a must try in Florence for all K-Lovers

according to others experience about the owner being rude when I went there with a couple of friends that did not happen to us, instead he was really friendly both when taking orders and getting us food. the dog is really calm and won’t do any harm (stayed by my side the whole time we dined). about food it was amazing, we mostly enjoyed the chicken wings which were really tasty but also the rice cakes with the melted cheese on top. recommend this place for korean fried chicken wings.

The chicken was sublime. So crispy so fresh and incredibly tasty. It was my first time trying ttoekbokki and it was amazing. The owner is such a cool guy and super friendly. I will be going back many times.

Where to find good fried chicken! The pieces are big, well seasoned and well fried. Toppokki is more of sweeter kind. Cozy atmosphere and funny paintings of chickens. A big, but calm dog keeps you company.

The first time we had this one i was so impressed with the huge serving and the price was not that bad. The place was very unique and at the same time very homey. Let’s talk about the Dog ( ofcourse because i’m an animal lover) she was very quiet and very friendly. Theres 2 thing that i think they should improve, the place was very small in the inside but they also have some tables outside too. The other one is there menu, they have limited variety of foods. I think people would love to try more of their unique delicacy. But overall if you wanted piece of korea in the center of florence with top notch food and the hospitality of korean people y’all should try this one. ❤️

It's my friend's birthday today and the owner was really friendly to us. He also let us choose a cute mug of the restaurant as birthday gift🥺🥺. The food was quite delicious and good looking!

Their fried chicken is really amazing! Chill place and the owner is really nice! Glad to drop by in this restaurant while touring around Florence. Definitely a must try 👌

Broth was so rich and creamy. Flavours were spot on. Not bland and not overly seasoned. Truly enjoyed this bowl of ramen with fresh made noodles. I would definitely come back here on a rainy day to enjoy another bowl. When in Florence a must try. You won’t be disappointed. The staff was super nice and spoke English. And cute too 😉

I tried shoyu beef ramen, broth had a weird, not fresh flavor so I did not enjoy this meal. The noodles were good, eggs were good buy overall it was just not tasty ramen :( The place smells like fried oil, it’s not a cozy place, plain white walls and bright lights. The staff were very nice and welcoming.

Good ramen broth kept by a nice chinese host. Avoid the bathroom

Awesome soup base, slightly bland for my wife but perfect for me. The ramen is slightly fusion, Chinese lamien with Japanese soup stock base. Furthermore the meat were just so good. Although I think the beef felt a little western due to the rawness, might be good to allow customers to choose it to be well done. Eggs could be marinated as well! All the other aspects were very well executed. Thanks for opening in Florence! I can’t take eating western food for so many days in a holiday…

Authentic ramen in the heart of Florence! We found this cosy and nice restaurant while running from the rain, and were pleasantly surprised! The ramens and gyoza (ravioli) are very tasty. Really recommend!

Super delicious - so much flavor and good amount of noodles!! Owner is super nice as well! Happy tummy 🥳

Took the Miso based Chasiu ramen and it was absolutely delicious! First try and will definitely come back. Nice staff with such a welcoming atmosphere 🥺 Recommend a 100% ✨

We wanted to change the routine from Italian food, so we opted for Sushi, the service was great and the staff were welcoming, although it was hard to communicate with them as they don’t speak English, yet we managed to order a variety of sushis, the fish was fresh, yet the rice was dry and not very fresh, otherwise I would give them 5 stars.

Great Sushi and Chinese food, freshly prepared and generous portions. Great value for money. Host Enzo was very friendly and attentive to detail. Close to Florence centre. Went there 3 times during our stay as it was really good!

The owner and staff are very welcoming and friendly! The food is great, and the service is excellent. It's really close to the city center, with reasonable prices but without the crowds and high tourist prices. It's a great place for a quality dining experience during the busy tourist season. Highly recommended!

Such a lovely place. Everyone was super friendly and welcoming (even got a complimentary sushi). The sushi was 10/10 super fresh and delicious but same goes for everything else we tried. Super adorable as well !!! We'll definitely be back

Great option, AWESOME SERVICE, reasonable prices, GOOD SUSHI OPTION!!

Service was wonderful and food was amazing, not only delicious but affordable as well with many options! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a different dish while in Florence 😊

It was so satisfied with dishes. So delicious sushi. and the service is good and they're so kind. It's even in the middle of a discount period now.

Me & my wife needed a break from the pasta & pizza & we luckily came across Yagura. We ordered takeaway & the food was delicious & everything from the Nigiri to the wasabi was fresh & rich in flavour. However, the older woman (who seems to be the owner) served us with extreme impatience. I have worked in the hospitality business before & I understand that busy nights are stressful but to unleash that on your customers regardless if they are eating in or out is embarrassing. We were rushed & rude comments like “hurry up” & “you should have told me from the start” were said which took us aback. I really hope the customer service is given more focus & for the woman to learn some restraint.

A good option, especially when you’re wanting a break from all the Italian food.

Spend your time and money somewhere else. The food here is poor and the service is lacklustre to say the least. There are dozens of better sushi places in Florence.

Their sushi is fantastic and fresh. They have messed my takeaway order twice, but they have been super apologetic and offered a full new sushi platter on top of the one they made the mistake for. They always give me a free drink too. The lady is super nice and I always feel so welcomed.

Ordered from deliveroo, €37.50 for three people to eat, we received approximately food for one person. Everything was VERY SMALL. Very disappointed, overpriced and tiny portions. Don't order sushi here, there is a place called "Da Kou" in Florence which does sushi, and you actually get filled up from one assortment of sushi, rather than still being hungry after ordering 6-8 different assortments. Terrible experience, please don't go to this place, save your money!

Honestly I never give any reviews but I wanted to let parents know that this was definitely not the place to bring kids. The staff was understaffed and they weren’t happy that my kid and my friend’s kids were sometimes bored because they took about 2 hours to bring all the food. Warning if u want to do the all-u-can-eat menu..

Food is tasty and the sashimi portion was generous for the money, however everything else was too small for the price and the size of the beef teppenyaki portion was beyond a joke, it was barely more than a mouthful. Sake was tasty and service was fine.

Food was delicious but portions were quite small. Miso soup for example was €3 for a small bowl. We had okonomiyaki and lampredotto don. Yet to try the fish which looked good

I visited this restaurant at lunch time and there was a Japanese shop holder working. So the food was cooked with completely real Japanese style. If you don’t get satisfied with odd taste, I highly recommend to go there.

This place struck us as quite peculiar. The restaurant looks a bit cheap classic italian, there was no music playing, the airco was too intense. The menu offers only a small selection of the classic sushi variants. Apart from the edamame beans, which weren’t very fresh, the sushi was very OK in terms of price and quality. Wouldn’t recommend this for a lovely night out with your spouse, but is OK for a quick tasty bite.

Sure it is cheap, but the options are incredibly limited. If you are looking for a place to try a few things, this is not the place. I would only recommend if you have a strong sushi craving and want to pick a couple of things just to satisfy the urge. What was there was good, but would not come back unless they double the amount of things in their menu.

Excellent sushi! The fish is like butter and Really flavourful. 8€ for 8 pieces of Futomaki is an average price. I tried to cheat the system because there is no vegetarian option, so I chose an okonomiyaki and thought I would tolerate the dashi, but was surprised that there was oktopus in it. It still was very authentic and tasted pretty similar to what I have had in Japan. I would totally recommend the restaurant, you get good food for a small price.

A terrible attitude towards consumers. An unprofessional waiter makes me feel that I wasted my patience and politeness, money and time. Sushi is bad, it’s not fresh at all. I don’t think it’s a real Japanese restaurant, it’s more like an irony. Just fooling the Europeans who know nothing about Japanese food. By the way, I really doubt the authenticity of other praises.

real sushi and Japanese cousine made by Japanese people! their menu is really limited but everything is delicious. the place is super tiny so better to go early (specially if more than 2 ppl). they don't accept reservations. no Wi-Fi.

I had such a wonderful experience at this tea café! The bubble tea was absolutely delicious perfectly balanced, with rich flavor and chewy pearls made just right. You can tell they really care about the quality of their drinks. What made the visit even more special was the owner. So kind, welcoming, and genuinely nice — they made me feel comfortable and valued as a customer. It’s rare to find a place where both the product and the people shine, but this café has both. Highly recommend to anyone looking for great bubble tea and warm hospitality. I’ll definitely be coming back!🧋👍🏼

Inside it's so so cute and cozy, I was thirsty on a hot summer day while we were traveling and I stopped here. They serve bubble tea and it's very good, the jars are cute too and quite big, the staff is friendly and nice. There are some tables inside and everything is carefully decorated. I loved it!

Veeery good bubble tea! The tea has such a good taste, be it fruity or black! And the portion is good for the price.

I do not recommend ordering their milk teas instead just play it safe and order the fruit teas. I had the Hong Kong milk tea and although I kept my expectations low it essentially tasted like watered down milk. I tried to let the owner know how unpleasant it was but to no avail.

Love this place! The ambiance and presentation of the drinks is everything. I got the peach oolong tea with cheese foam (0% sugar). Absolutely LOVE the cheese foam! The owner was also super kind. The drink was definitely a life saver in the hot Florence summer weather.

Great Matcha Tea, you'll find soy and Oat milk ☺️

One of the best bubble tea I ever had. I ordered the Special tea (Passion fruit) and I was so happy with my choice.

A very nice and modern place. I heard the owner is Chinese and runs all those brands, but I’m pretty sure the chef is Vietnamese because the food tastes just right. I loved the cơm gà - the sauce was perfectly light. The phở even came with fermented garlic, just like in Vietnam. The Vietnamese desserts were a bit too sweet for me as a Vietnamese, but my European friend really enjoyed them. Definitely worth trying the traditional drinks as well. And a special mention to the Vietnamese waiter, who was very kind and welcoming.

I had the Pho Tai Chin and I really liked it. Good big portion and the beef was tender and tasted good. Big plus for comfortable seats and good AC in the blazing heat summer day. The waiter was very friendly and explained the menu. You have to go through the Asian store to get inside. Unfortunately for me there is no Bo Kho on the menu but many other options.

Amazing, authentic, and flavorful food!!! If your soul craves for an asian cuisine--from the usual italian food, this is a must! The entrance is like a 7/11 mini-mart, but if you reach further that's where the gem is! Amazing ambience, looking forward to visit again soon

What a fantastic meal. We tried a plate from each section of the menu and everything was delicious. They also have a nice hot sauce and skiced garlic on the table. Highly recommended.

My husband and I have been craving pho for a while since we’ve been in Italy and this place is amazing. We ordered the Pho Tai Chin, the noodles are high quality, the meat is tender, and the flavor of the broth is yum. No wait and we received are food quickly. Our tummies are content. Thank you.

As a Vietnamese, I will suggest this restaurant for authenticity taste of Vietnamese food (almost identical of what i have back in Việt Nam). As for Phở in general, the broth will follow the taste of Northen Vietnam, it is not my favourite as I grew up in the South. However, i believe it will suit most palette of Western cuisine. For the Bò Lúc Lắc with rice, it is great with the sweet sauce as well for Nem Rán. The servers gave us a great time since we spoke Vietnamese to eachother. Come here for the best experiences, you have my words!

The best Asian food and wine I’ve had in Europe. Boss is a Italian friendly and nice vibe

Really good and authentic Mala Hotpot with good soup, sauce you can create your own and very fresh ingredients from meat to vegetables. Have many soup selections and can choose spicy level of the Mala soup. Really good value for money choice. Usually Mala Hotpot in Europe of this quality is more expensive. Recommend

Super lovely food! The portion is very generous for the price. Also it is very fresh! We came to Florence for tourism and wanted to try something spicy when we found this restaurant. The service is very good, waiter was very helpful introducing the food. The place is spacious and clean. If we ever come back to Florence will definatly visit again.

We loved this place! The food was delicious and reasonably priced with tons of spices, herbs and toppings to make dipping sauces. The staff were super friendly and attentive – they helped us order on the QR code, make a tasty dipping sauce, and kept our broth topped up whenever it was getting low. Luna was especially kind, and the free gelato at the end was such a nice touch. We were even provided with aprons so we didn’t get messy. Highly recommend!

My husband and I were craving Asian food and this restaurant happened to pop up on our first night in Florence, so we wanted to give this place a shot! And WOWW - we loved their modern decor and the restaurant was very clean. Now for the food - we were so impressed by the flavor of their broth, their EXTENSIVE sauce bar, and the HUGE portions they gave for each hot pot ingredient. We ordered each dish as if we were ordering at a typical hot pot restaurant back home and we ended up leaving so much leftover. We apologized to the staff but they told us that as long as we walked away full, that’s all they ask 🥹 their service was above and beyond and would definitely recommend to anyone looking to fill their Asian food craving while traveling in Florence!

Some of the best hot pot I’ve ever had! We went as a family of 3. Soup base was so flavourful, menu had wide variety of meats, vegetables, vegetarian products. Owner was kind and gave us gelato on the house. Ordering is A La Carte via a QR code (they had free wifi), prices are definitely not cheap but paying for the quality and large portion sizes.

Excellent, authentic, flavorful Hotpot dinner. We went as a family for dinner. There were not too many customers. We were seated promptly and they explained the dishes (using Google translate). Food was quite good, mate a little too spicy.

Very authentic hot pot with excellent service. We ordered both the chicken broth and the spicy broth—both were delicious. The staff were friendly and attentive. I accidentally burned my thumb while pouring the chicken broth into a cup, and the staff gave me ice and cream, then checked on me later to make sure I was okay. If you’re visiting Florence and craving hot pot like I was, this is the place to go—it instantly feels like home.

Earlier this year we had come across this lovely patisserie. A nice selection was on offer and when taking into account the very reasonable prices, the quality was top notch. Sadly the service from the lady who made the coffees was terrible. She didn't particularly like tourists who were not Italian. She particularly was rude with my wife and nieces who are from South Korea. She made it very clear she didn't want us there. We visited another couple of times as we refused to let one racist person stop us from enjoying the lovely cakes on offer. Such a pity one person spoils the atmosphere of such a wonderful place.

This Bar is placed near the psychology university of Florence. It's good stylish and nice for having a breakfast, luncheon, happy-hour, brunch. The espresso coffee is delicious as well as the pastries or croissant. Also here you'll find the "arancino" (fried rice ball). The staff is always smiling and extremely professional. Good prices. Enjoy!

The cappuccino was nicely done but the pastry with cream lacked a bit on the quality side. It’s been recently renovated with a nice seating area. It seems like a pleasant place to hang out for a bit but I am not sure I would come back considering that the pastries are just average.

This place is amazing. I went here every morning to get the best breakfast during my holiday in Florence. The "salato" (sandwiches) were my favourite - every single one I tried was delicious. Also, their home-made croissants filled with pistacchio cream were perfect. The staff is very friendly, the atmosphere is homely. I deinitely recommend it. Thank you! :)

Delicious pastries and coffee. Had breakfast there daily. Freshly made orange juice delicious 😋.

I travelled through Toscana including the countryside and this turned out to be the best croissant; not kidding. The dough was very tasty! (+ nice and pleasant people)

Absolutely worth the visit.

DO NOT BOOK WITH THEM! They rented us an apartment infested with bed bugs. My whole family, with two small children, were bit. I sent them videos of the bed bugs crawling out of the head board and lamp. I sent them photos of the telltale bedbug stains on the sheets. And they deny that there is any problem at all! I woke up with a bedbug literally on me! We had to leave the apartment after one night. Look at the photos and videos yourself to judge! Plus most of the reviews here are fake.

We've rented a pretty nice villa near Florence, but when we checked out the agency accused us of 'damaging' equipment of the villa which was totally unfair. As they had access to our credit card details, there was not a lot we could do really to fight the unfair charge (we did not damage anything in the villa). Be careful with this travel agency, they are not genuine.

One word of advice: don't book with this agency. They spoilt our holiday! Here is our story. We booked a one-bedroom flat with a large loggia overlooking Santa Croce Square in Florence for 4 nights, paying €1200. The booking process in March was smooth. However, three days before our arrival in August, the agency informed us via WhatsApp that the flat was unavailable due to bedbugs. They offered us a supposedly upgraded two-bedroom flat near Ponte Vecchio or a full refund. Given the short notice and our location in Venice, we reluctantly accepted the alternative, despite it looking inferior based on the photos. Upon arrival, the experience deteriorated rapidly. The check-in agent was late and rude. The flat itself was filthy, dingy, and smelled bad. It was unbearably hot (37-38°C outside), and though the air conditioning worked in the living room, it did not cool the bedrooms. We immediately expressed our dissatisfaction and asked for the refund that had been offered earlier, but were told no decision could be made because it was a Sunday. We were forced to stay overnight, and further problems emerged when using the kettle tripped the electricity. We were left in pitch darkness with no response from the agency’s emergency line. With the help of a neighbour, we reset the electricity, and they informed us that the flat was not even supposed to be rented out due to condominium rules. By morning, the internet was down due to the electrical issues. We contacted the agency, but they were dismissive and extremely rude. Despite our complaints, they refused to offer any solution or refund, claiming they needed to investigate. After waiting hours for a response, we checked ourselves into a hotel. The agency later informed us that they would not be refunding anything, downplaying the issues. We also discovered that the flat we had originally booked, supposedly closed due to bedbugs, was occupied, as we saw people on its terrace. This experience was extremely disappointing, and the agency’s conduct was unprofessional and dishonest. We strongly advise against booking with this company.

Homes in Florence is an unethical company. DO NOT BOOK WITH THEM!! We booked an apartment for September via Marriott Homes & Villas. We mistakenly canceled it assuming it was within the policy. When we realized we lost our points, we reached out to ask them to reinstate our reservation, they refuse to. So they basically got paid for our stay, and have now put it back on the market to double their rent. We even called them in Italy but these are scammers. TRUST THEM AT YOUR OWN RISK!

DON’T MAKE THIS MISTAKE! AVOID! I really don’t know how they have 4.2 stars! We chose an apartment in Florence called Dreamy Guelfa. Description states it is an “air conditioned apartment”, when we got there, they had only an old and small fan. As AC was mandatory for us, we questioned the company and they only offered to bring adicional fans. They said it was a technical issue and probably the previous guest had damaged the PORTABLE AC they had (Note that for them air conditioned apartment is the same as ONE portable AC machine). Again, for us AC was mandatory, so we explained we would not stay , we had to find a last minute hotel, and asked for a refund, to what they offered 20%. Ridiculous! Also, apartment does not look as the pictures anymore, it is old, in the third floor what they conveniently don’t mention and the stairs for access are horrible. As you can see, and PLEASE DO NOT BE MISTAKEN by their reply, if they do, this company works with FALSE ADVERTISEMENT and don’t play fair! You have a lot of better options in Florence so you don’t go through the frustration and stress we had to!

Avoid! Worst experience in Italy! As the other many 1-star reviews have noted this company offers some of the worst customer service ever encountered. This vacation rental apartment we rented with “Homes in Florence” in Florence was a dreadful experience. Despite the property being advertised as "Luxury Santa Croce 4" and the price being $500+ per night, basic amenities were not provided. The AC in the living room was not working, the WiFi died on the second day, and the shower had issues with fluctuations in temperature. The Nespresso machine had no pods or sugar, and the laundry machine had no laundry powder. The towels and sheets were cheap and there were no extras. The master bed was uncomfortably hard without padding. There was really nothing “luxurious” about this place other than the views and the price. The agency was unresponsive and unhelpful, taking five days to resolve the WiFi issue and offering little consideration. We had to check out early as we couldn't work, and there was no apology or a reasonable refund to date. I would strongly advise against staying here or at any of their homes and risking having your time in Florence ruined.

The worst experience I had in my whole life. I booked with them for 40 days in Florence. When I arrived at the property, the house was the filthiest I have ever seen in my life. Everything was revolting and sticky. They tried to clean it, but after their cleaning the house was still extremely disgusting, with several broken appliance, sticky shelves, dirty floor, dirty sheets. I had to sleep in a hotel. The day after, despite agreeing that the house would have needed a long one day cleaning they sent the cleaners only at 3.30 PM. Furthermore they refused to comply in changing the filthy and teared chairs and couch, despite the cost should have been covered by the previous tenant. While their employee Valentina tried to help and to somewhat accommodate us the managers were extremely arrogant, and refused to offer any concrete help, like for example offering an alternative accommodation for the night. They believe themselves as being high level people, but when you speak with them you immediately realise that they are uneducated new rich, with no respect for people - not what you would expect in the Medici city. Their service is the worst I have ever experienced in my whole life. Furthermore, be aware that most of their good reviews were written by people that only wrote one or two reviews in their whole life, so basically those are completely untrustworthy as well. I was also lied several times, for example when I was told that we would have arranged a coffee to settle down the situation, when I was told that the couches and chairs would have been most likely changed, or when I was told that the apartment would have been properly cleaned. My only relief is to know that in the long term people who are so unserious will fail their business.

(Translated by Google) Bellino, the place has higher quality food than the average all-you-can-eat restaurant. The menu is a little poor and without photos, which are essential in my opinion. Very kind staff (Original) Bellino il locale è cibo di qualità superiore alla media degli all You Can eat. Il menù un po' povero e senza le foto, indispensabili a mio parere. Personale molto gentile

(Translated by Google) Amazing! The venue recalls an Asian style with a touch of elegance. Located in a strategic area of ​​Florence, it is easy to reach from many points of the city. The fish is fresh and tasty, even the rice can be eaten with gusto and is expertly dosed in both the Nighiri and the Gunkan. The clean bathroom and the kind and warm welcome make this restaurant one of the best All You Can Eat in the city. For lunch, Ginza proves to be the ideal place for. eat well at the right price. (Original) Strepitoso! Il locale richiama uno stile asiatico con un tocco di eleganza. Ubicato in una zona strategica di Firenze é facile da raggiungere da più punti della città. Il pesce é fresco e gustoso, anche il riso si lascia mangiare con gusto e viene dosato sapientemente sia nei Nighiri che nei Gunkan. Il bagno pulito e l'accoglienza gentile e calorosa rendono questo ristorante uno dei migliori All You Can Eat della città. A pranzo Ginza si rivela il luogo ideale per. mangiare bene al giusto prezzo.

(Translated by Google) Restaurant open for a month and still little known, it is a rather large place and kept very clean, the atmosphere during the day was very soft and relaxing. It's great value for money, the fish was fresh and melted in your mouth. The salmon slices on the nigiri were very thick as they should be and there are many types of sushi and hot dishes. The presentation of the dishes is well done and the staff very kind and approachable. Very importantly, they also serve sashimi for lunch! Not all all you can eat restaurants do this and especially one sushi restaurant nearby charges it a la carte, outside the all you can eat price, so I recommend the Ginza for this reason too. These days they are distributing 5 euro vouchers valid for dinner, they asked me to possibly give them to my friends too to spread the word and I find that this place is definitely worth it! I recommend bringing a few euros extra because of the 2 euro cover charge and the drinks. Price: 12.50 for lunch, 20.50 for dinner (Original) Ristorante aperto da un mese ancora conosciuto poco, è un locale piuttosto grande e tenuto ben pulito, l'atmosfera di giorno era molto soffusa e rilassante. Ha un ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo, il pesce era fresco e si scioglieva in bocca. Le fette di salmone sui nigiri erano molto spesse come dovrebbero essere e ci sono tanti tipi di sushi e piatti caldi. La presentazione dei piatti è ben curata e il personale molto gentile e alla mano. Cosa molto importante, servono il sashimi anche a pranzo! Non tutti i ristoranti all you can eat lo fanno e soprattutto un ristorante di sushi nelle vicinanze lo fa pagare alla carta, fuori dal prezzo all you can eat, quindi consiglio il Ginza anche per questo motivo. In questi giorni stanno distribuendo buoni da 5 euro validi per la cena, mi hanno chiesto possibilmente di regalarli anche ai miei amici per spargere la voce e io trovo che questo posto ne valga decisamente la pena! Consiglio di portare qualche euro in più per via del coperto di 2 euro e delle bevute. Prezzo: 12,50 a pranzo, 20,50 a cena

(Translated by Google) In my opinion the best all-you-can-eat Japanese restaurant in all of Florence; they also serve sashimi for lunch, there is a huge variety of dishes, which are plated very well, the staff is uniquely courteous... there's really no reason to complain if they charge €21 for dinner plus €2 for covered per person excluding drinks and desserts, because they can absolutely afford it. Highly recommended! (Original) A parer mio il migliore ristorante giapponese con formula all you can eat di tutta Firenze; servono sashimi anche a pranzo, c'è un'enorme varietà di piatti, che sono impiattati molto bene, il personale è di una cortesia unica... non c'è proprio da lamentarsi se fanno pagare 21€ a cena più 2€ di coperto a persona escludendo bibite e dessert, perché se lo possono assolutamente permettere. Consigliatissimo!

(Translated by Google) Discrete all you can eat which also includes the possibility of ordering a portion of sashimi per person. Three of us spent 42 euros including 2 bottles of water. Attentive and thoughtful service without being intrusive. (Original) All you can eat discreto che include anche la possibilità di ordinare una porzione a persona di sashimi. In tre abbiamo speso 42 euro incluso 2 bottiglie di acqua. Servizio attento e premuroso senza essere invadente.

(Translated by Google) Good variety of dishes and excellent value for money. Nice welcoming and very clean place. The staff is very kind and courteous. The food is excellent, quality and well presented. One of the best! (Original) Buona varietà di piatti e ottimo rapporto prezzo qualità. Posto bello accogliente e molto pulito. Il personale è molto gentile e cortese. Il cibo è ottimo, di qualità e ben presentato. Uno dei migliori!

(Translated by Google) Very good and well plated sushi. Not long waits and friendly staff. Price of the all-you-can-eat slightly above average. (Original) Sushi molto buono e ben impiattato. Attese non lunghe e personale gentile. Prezzo dell'all-you-can-eat leggermente superiore alla media.

Great taste. Authentic Indian food, it doesn’t feel like that I was eating Indian food in Florence. I am from Brampton so I can make good judgement on the Indian food because we have plenty of Indian restaurants over there. This is definitely one of the finest Indian restaurant outside India. Manager is 10/10. I have never seen such good customer service from Indian restaurant before he deserves a raise. I thought he was the owner the way he was dealing with us. Such employees are like an asset. I asked him 45 minutes before closing that if I should make the final order, he politely said, sir ! no rush, eat your food, We are open for you. So nice of him. May God bless him.

Amazing experience at this Punjabi - Malayali Restaurant. We went with our elderly parents, they loved it. All the hosts were excellent, made sure all our needs were met. Great food, clean place, and great ambience🥘 Kiran and Rohit were exceptionally amazing at what they do! Thank you again!

Food was excellent. Ambience and service was outstanding. Price is very nominal. Absolutely loved the food we had. Was busy but we got the seat quickly.

My family has always been huge fans of Indian cuisine — and I never quite shared the same enthusiasm… until I discovered this place. WOW. The flavors, the service — everything was out of this world. Huge shoutout to Karim, who served us with such kindness and recommended the most amazing dishes.

It was the best Indian food ever and the best food this year! The soup was good but the main course - so great. The meat was tender ant dither sauce!! The service was brilliant. No waiting time and everyone was very fast and polite. Planning to come back to Florence just to eat there again! It was such a nice evening. Thank you very much

Really good meal with lovely staff. Very helpful and didn’t rush you at all. Naan was excellent. Chicken chettinad was a new one for us and was really tasty.

Cannot fault the Indian Palace. Great service and the food was beautiful, the best I’ve had after a week in Italy. Several options on Spices with regards to your preference on most dishes. The staff were faultless. Great selection of drinks at a very fair price. Highly recommend going here to eat.

If you’re a traveller, especially a desi roaming around and suddenly hit by that classic craving for ghar ka khana, this place is a must. The food is absolutely amazing, and the best part—it feels like home on a plate. For Indians craving those familiar flavors, just chat with the staff in our very own desi bhasha. They totally get it. We were missing our good old yellow dal, so I told the server, “Chef ko bolo, dal mein dhabha wala tadka maar ke, thoda mast masala daalke bana do, jaise ghar pe khate hain.” And trust me, they nailed it. What came out of the kitchen was pure nostalgia—dal loaded with that spicy, comforting tadka, just like back home. Add to that the warm smiles and helpful attitude of the staff, and suddenly you don’t feel so far from India anymore. We ended up ordering way more than planned (because who can stop at just dal?), and left with our cravings completely satisfied—for the rest of the trip. If you’re desi and missing home food, this is your spot.

My first time here. The food is a notable step up from most. The flavors were perfectly balanced. I started with the onion rings a Gluten Free appetizer and they were soft and delicious. There are many GF options on their menu. Everything we ordered was perfectly spiced. We chose a very reasonably priced bottle of Viognier IGT which paired perfectly with our Biryani and Chicken Tandoori. Travelers should note that if you do not finish your bottle of wine you can take it with you as you leave. The staff was attentive and professional. The restaurant just celebrated 25 years which is commendable. Also the chef is well known in the local community as they are the number one catering company for large cultural events and Indian weddings of the area. An easy walk from the train station. We parked at the nearby underground parking called Porta al Prato.

Food here is very differently prepared from how it's generally made. It was new to my palatte, not sure if I liked it very much. But it was definitely not bad. The dishes felt somewhat heavy on cream (both the coconut rice and curry) The chat was okay too! I saw this place has very good reviews, famous for punjabi cuisine! Maybe this is the place for non-veg!

Absolutely phenomenal experience! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This Indian restaurant in Florence is an absolute gem. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting — a perfect blend of cozy elegance and vibrant charm. The service was flawless; the staff was genuinely kind, attentive without being overbearing, and truly made us feel like honored guests. The owner knew their customers like they were family. Now let’s talk about the food — wow. Every dish was bursting with bold, authentic flavors that transported us straight to India. From the perfectly spiced curries to the pillowy naan and fragrant rice, everything was clearly crafted with care and expertise. It’s rare to find such impeccable balance in seasoning and presentation, but they nailed it with every bite. Whether you’re a lifelong lover of Indian cuisine or trying it for the first time, this place is an absolute must-visit in Florence. A culinary experience we won’t soon forget!

Haveli catered chaat for our daughters sangeet and an authentic South Indian meal for the Hindu ceremony. It’s been over a month now and guests are still raving how delicious the food was. The presentation was also classy. Rubel and Jyoti heeded to all our requests. The overall result exceeded our expectations. Thank you Haveli!

Some of the best Indian food I have had in a while. And the value is just amazing when it comes to their wine selection and prices. Literally I could not believe the prices , I had to double check. Any Indian visiting Florence must must have at least one dinner here. Owners Joti and his wife are amazing !!!

If you’re craving authentic Indian food in Florence, this restaurant is a must-try! The dishes were bursting with flavor—especially the lamb chops, which were tender and perfectly spiced, and the kulcha roti, which was fresh and satisfying. It’s clear the chef is incredibly talented, putting real care and creativity into every plate. The staff were not only quick and professional, but also attentive with thoughtful recommendations. They suggested an excellent wine pairing that complemented the spices beautifully, which really elevated the whole meal. A perfect blend of warm hospitality and top-quality food—highly recommended!

Super nice sushi for the lunch, I liked a lot yaki soba

Amazing food, excellent service, very helpful to English customers. If I lived in the area I would eat here very often.

Great sushi restaurant. Extremely clean from cutlery to glasses, table setting and all around the restaurant. The owner and the staff are polite, professional and very friendly. Oh, and price wise, this place is definitely not a ripoff. Highly recommended! Enjoy!

Absolutely fantastic experience at this restaurant! The food was delicious, and the staff was helpful and kind. Could not recommend this place enough, it is worth the drive out of the city center. 10/10

Was good experience. Nice interier, quick service. And delightful delicious sushi.

Super👍

Nice restaurant with nice japanese setting on the first floor Friendly and welcoming staff Delicious food. Obviously everything is subjective but it is worth the try

We were honestly surprised by how good the food was at this Indian restaurant in Florence! Everything was super flavorful and freshly made. The chef was kind enough to adjust the spiciness to our taste, which we really appreciated. Service was excellent—friendly staff, no wait time, and the food came out quickly. The restaurant itself is clean, well-kept, and has a very comfortable atmosphere. Definitely try the garlic naan!

After eating Italian food for a few days, we felt like switching things up and went out for Indian food last night. We checked Google and found Taj Palace, which was close to our hotel, so we walked over. The place has a warm look with paintings of Indian dance forms and a few musical instruments on display. The overall feel was great. We looked through the menu and were about to choose a few dishes when one of the staff suggested one of their popular items. Here’s what we ended up ordering with our ratings: Kadhai Chicken 4/5 Garlic Naan 5/5 Kheer 4/5 The Kadhai chicken was a little spicy for us but we still liked it. The food in general was good. It took some time for the dishes to arrive because the place was busy, but the staff were friendly and attentive. The service was good.

Good Indian food in Florence but on expensive side. The ambience is good, menu is elaborate and getting such food in Florence is cherry on top. Service can be further improved.

Taj Palace Ristorante Indiano, Florence. Dining at Taj Palace in Florence was an absolute delight from start to finish. If you’re searching for authentic Indian food in the heart of Tuscany, this is the place to be. The restaurant itself strikes a perfect balance between tradition and modernity. The interior is beautifully decorated—warm, classy, and tastefully traditional with a hint of vintage elegance. It’s immaculately clean, giving a comfortable yet refined atmosphere that enhances the dining experience. What truly sets Taj Palace apart, however, is the outstanding service. We were warmly welcomed and looked after by Abdil, who was a pleasure throughout the evening. Attentive, knowledgeable, and personable, he made sure we had the best possible experience. His recommendation to try the Lucknow Butter Chicken instead of the classic version turned out to be one of the highlights of our visit. The dish itself was exceptional: the chicken was tender, clearly marinated with care, and the sauce was rich with layers of spices and balanced flavors. Unlike many butter chicken dishes that lean heavily on creaminess alone, this one carried depth and character—fragrant, spiced just right, and utterly delicious. You could taste the authenticity in every bite. Alongside this, the menu offers a range of authentic Indian dishes prepared with skill and respect for traditional flavors. Everything we tasted felt fresh, thoughtfully presented, and true to its roots. Overall, Taj Palace is more than just a restaurant—it’s a genuine culinary experience that brings a slice of India to Florence. With excellent food, a stylish yet traditional setting, and service that goes above and beyond, it’s a place we would recommend without hesitation.

Best place to eat in Florence!! A must visit for anybody in the city. Amazing food and hospitality. Abdal and naveel were incredibly nice and helpful and were so kind on our honeymoon.

I wasn’t expecting to eat one or the best Indian food here in Florence. We were homesick and this turned into a night of amazing food, great ambiance and some of the best hospitality we have experienced here by Abdal. In the starting the green spicy chutney with chicken pakora blew our mind. The hyderabadi biryani was to die for, malai tikka was great for kids - not too spicy but bursting with flavor. Mutton karahi was so good, chicken pakora and butter chicken didn’t lag behind. Perfect ending with Karak chai made just right. Highly highly recommend!!!

Have been here several times and the quality of food and services is always excellent! Best Indian in Florence!

A great find, with an all you can eat menu that’s worth it! 🗓 We arrived for dinner without a reservation and managed To get a table for five. We went twice in a week. 🍽 The food was very good, they have spicy sushi and edamames. We had the all you can eat sushi menu and it was perfect. 🍺 I loved that they have Japanese beer. 🤵🏻 The staff was friendly and helped us with an iPad to order, for those that didn’t have internet.

The food had no flavour. All sushi tasted the same no matter the type ordered. The fish tartar was acidic. Minimum fish added to the rolls. The menus stank like a wet mop, first time in my life that I got a stinky menu. The waiters didn't remove the empty water bottles so the table was full of them. It was really disappointing.

Very imaginative and colorful western sushi (mostly rolls). Some very good, others less. All-you-can-eat prices are on average (19€ for lunch). The place inside seems big but we had to eat outside because of covid restrictions.

For me one star is more than enough for this place, I just gave it for the location. It's my first time in this restaurant,my friends and i been enjoying our time in the beautiful florence and they were ok let's go for sushi and when we went there the service was so slow that you have to wait for hours to get one or two dishes more than that you have to remind them that you had ordered,imagine?!!t to not forget, the waiters who kickike the bulls in you face anyway thank you so much anyway I wish I never walked into a restaurant that bad… disgusting

Incredible. Lovely and unich! Staff and food really oustanding

The place is well cared but really dark. I had difficulties in reading the menu, my eyes got tired after a while. Uramakies have a lot of ingredients and at the end they taste pretty much the same, even though I'm sure that the quality of the fish is good. The staff is polite and service is good!

1 star and I didn’t eat. Is the first time I leave a restaurant. I had a surgery 1 month ago and I can’t eat, just a little. I went with my husband to eat at this place and he wanted the full menu all you can eat and I want it the regular. They told its IMPOSSIBLE to choose one and one. It has to be the same (????) but.. what happen if one person has hungry and the other one not? Or one eat a lot and the other one not? Or ny case… I can’t eat a lot and my husband can? I understand the reasons but as a marketing manager the restaurant has to think this is not going to work 100% of the cases. We decide to leave. The manager told after 10” they can have an exception (I really appreciate it) but not. We pay 8€ for water and cokes we didn’t drink and move to another Japanese restaurant very close.

From the moment we walked in, we were struck by the spectacular ambience — elegant, calm, and beautifully designed, creating the perfect setting for a memorable evening. The fish was incredibly fresh and full of flavor, each piece of sushi prepared with great attention to detail and artistry. Every dish we tried was perfectly balanced and beautifully presented. The staff truly elevated our experience, caring, patient and genuinely friendly they made us feel welcomed and well looked after throughout the meal. A special mention goes to the ansonica wine from Elba, which paired wonderfully with the sushi and added a unique touch to the evening. 🥂🍾 Everything from start to finish was impeccable. It’s rare to find a place where every element (food, service, and atmosphere) comes together so harmoniously. Our experience was simply unforgettable, and we can’t wait to return! Pierre from Nice

Was really hesitant at first. I read some reviews about “overpricing.” But my husband and I were pleasantly surprised. The fish was fresh, the staff was lovely and anticipating our needs, and the pricing was fair for the quality food they have. We left happy and full!

Really a great Restaurant. The food was extraordinary good, the place looks very stylish and the staff was friendly and helpful from the beginning, even though we didn't have a reservation. A big Thank You to Radu, being the one who spoke English very good and explained us the menu and recommended a very good bottle of Prosecco. Highly recommend!

It was yummy I like it so much till now I went there almost once a week !

Simply the best Japanese all you can eat restaurant I've ever tried. The decoration and settings are gorgeous. The food is succulent and the service really quick and efficient. We spent a marvelous dinner in this restaurant and we were quiet a lot (12 persons), despite this, the service was really really fast, the waitress and waiter were very nice and sweet. Even the bathroom gives a Japanese temple atmosphere. The price quality ratio was astonished, so many choices in the menu and only for 28€, drinks and desserts are excluded but still worth the extra. I highly recommend it, the best Japanese restaurant in Firenze. 🔥🔥🔥💯💯

Bring your Barbie and dollhouse to eat Pretend Japanese food. The Top Ramen noodles were shocking but then, “salmon tacos” arrived ON A PRINGLES POTATO CHIP. We were dying laughing at that point realizing we’d been had for a joke! Ironically we had fast food ramen at the MALL today at Mr. Wu and it was actually WAY BETTER😆🤣😆 We finished our watered down sake and really contemplated just walking out. I decided to pay €48. for this so I could write this review. This has got to be one of those investor concoctions with 1000% mark up on food. Hilarious. “Our philosophy” blurbs back of menu. Some MBA got paid to throw this place together with a bucket of random style thrown on the walls like someone robbed an antique store. Zero Japanese in this Japanese “restaurant.” Florence is really hitting rock bottom with tourist traps. Unreal. Viva Firenze.

Probably one of the best sushi resto around Florence. With my favourite Satori Roll, Tiger Roll and Sashimi Mix. Better in individual or small group, in more than 4 people, the staff can get confused with the orders.
