Dinner at this restaurant was simply remarkable. The food was authentic and delicious, and we tasted the wine produced by the traditional family who owns the restaurant and is part of Florence’s history. The highlights were an unforgettable starter made of porcini flan with parmeggiano fondutta followed by pasta with tartufo nero, which was so delicious we returned to Dei Frescobaldi one day before leaving town for seconds. The restaurant owner was on site that evening (a partner to the Frescobaldi family), so we saluted him and started a casual chat which triggered a two hour conversation covering the history of Firenze, the rivalry of the Frescobaldi and the Medici, escape tunnels, problems with excavations and archaeological discoveries, secrets of the town, the Chianti comeback… What better way to get acquainted with Florence? Perfetto!
