The 35 Best Restaurants in Florence, Italy | Eater
"Among Florence’s Michelin-starred darlings, Saporium is worth celebrating. The restaurant, which also has a green Michelin clover, looks like a mix between a Renaissance palace and an arboretum, while the food consists of various memorable tasting menus by chef Ariel Hagen. Combining the chef’s passions for fermentation and Italian biodiversity, dishes include taglioni dressed with sambuca flowers and fermented koji crema, risotto with sheep milk kefir and preserved lemon, and squab-filled agnolotti in eel broth. It’s all made with organic ingredients and wild botanicals sourced from Borgo San Pietro’s flagship resort in Chiusdino, a once abandoned Medieval family estate turned luxury villa on several acres of converted farmland. Know before you go: The speakeasy-style lounge next door offers cocktails accented with items like smoked juniper and fermented orange along with snacks like saffron bone marrow arancini." - Coral Sisk
