My mother and I went here for dinner and the experience from the beginning to the end was incredible. Neither of us had experienced Michelin Star dining before and Guné was the perfect restaurant for us to venture into this type of dining. The staff is extremely attentive and truly cares about providing excellent service to everyone at their restaurant. The menu is ever changing depending on the season and each dish is accompanied by an explanation from the servers, or even the owner himself! We selected their 8-course menu for the spring, more specifically I was accommodated with a vegan menu. There are already so many existing options in terms of food accommodations, however, the staff will communicate with the chef to best suit your needs, just as I did with requesting a vegan menu. Not only was the presentation beautiful, the taste was sophisticated and each piece complemented each other perfectly. If I was forced to pick a favourite, they were all my favourite to be clear!, the celeriac with a 25 year-aged balsamic vinegar wins for me. This dish contained many different elements, crunchy, sweet, salty, and was unlike anything I have ever eaten. I cannot forget to mention the desserts as well. The mango sorbet had such a pure taste and texture, but the chocolates were a perfect way to say goodbye at the end of the evening. Besides the food, the restaurant itself is elegant and embodies a warm yet polished ambiance. Guné itself is the ancient Greek word for woman, which has inspired the theme of the restaurant. There are numerous artworks of notable women hung around the restaurant truly creating and putting a face to the name.
Once again, both my mother and I are extremely pleased we chose Guné while on our trip to Florence. We could not have asked for a better dining experience. Between the kind staff and the exquisite food, there is no world in which I cannot recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Florence!
Thank you Guné for introducing us to the world of Michelin Star dining and we cannot wait to return soon!!
