Culinaria de Gustibus Bistro

On our recent trip to Florence, we enjoyed two wonderful meals at Culinaria. We had to return for the second time after the first positive experience. The food is creative with ingredients that are novel but complimentary to the dishes. From zucchini flowers stuffed with cheeses so that the flavors of every ingredient is layered in each bite, to pastas with delicate and delicious sauces, Andrea's menu motivated us to return to experience more from the menu. Other menu items we had and were loved by each person who ordered them: The burger, The scallops and the Baccala. We enjoyed the Florentine bistecca here which was perfectly cooked and presented to the table by one of Andrea's chef team. I've included a photo of the menu, but I know it may change with seasonal ingredients. The atmosphere of the restaurant is enjoyable combining original architecture with modern touches of artistic decor. Most of all it was all served and presented by the owner Andrea, who made us feel welcome, made special recommendations, and helped make our two meals at his restaurant an integral memory to our special family vacation.

Very kinds staff, very accommodating to allergies and vegetarianism/veganism. Artichoke starter was the highlight for me but everything was delicious. Nice outside eating area near lively local park.

The staff are very friendly, and the food was the best food I’ve had. Staff recommendations were on point, and they have an English menu for tourists, but experience is authentic in an area that has less foot traffic than the other side of the bridge. If there is a place you have to go to while in Florence, it is here.

Greatly delicious and distinctive dishes with nice and friendly service! The experience in Culinaria de Gustibus gave me the amazing memory. If you travel to Florence, you should try this Bistro!

This was an amazing gastronomic journey that left us with only positive impressions and emotions. We highly recommend visiting Florence during the Christmas season and definitely dining at this restaurant for a Christmas dinner. It’s cozy, delicious, warm, and delightful! My boyfriend and I chose this place completely by chance and decided to make a reservation. When we arrived, instead of a classic menu, we were offered a special Christmas menu with several courses to choose from, including fish and meat options. We decided to try both, and we didn’t regret it for a second. The flavor combinations were something we had never experienced before! Imagine shrimp tartare on a bed of the creamiest ricotta, marinated rabbit thigh with mashed potatoes, or sea bass fillet with soaked cherries and green sauce. It was absolutely unforgettable! I could go on describing all the dishes we enjoyed that evening, but it’s better to visit and experience it for yourself. What makes this place truly special, though, are the people. Tommy is an incredibly kind and friendly person; we thoroughly enjoyed talking to him and being his guests that evening. Personally, I couldn’t resist the opportunity to thank the chefs for their outstanding work and shake their hands. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts and will definitely be back again❤️ couple from the Netherlands 🫶🏼

Just wandered by, outside of the tourist area, just perfect in every way. Friendly attentive service. Food was great. We were typical american tourists, showing up early, not wanting a lot of food (after two weeks here and our clothes shrinking). They split our appetizer, so good. We had a pasta dish and a salad. One of the better meals we had in Florence, at half the cost of the fancy places along the river. Our meal cost includes wine.

Absolutely delicious food and outstanding service! Our waiter was incredibly kind and helpful, guiding us through the menu and recommending the perfect wine pairings to match our tastes. The asparagus flan was a surprising standout along with the daily special of handmade tagliatelle with white truffle was unforgettable. Every course was fresh and full of flavor. We had a fantastic experience and would definitely go back!

I love this place so much! The food and the vibe was spectacular literally made us feel at home💕 so far I’ve been to Venice and this place in Florence was by far the best. 10/10
