Without recounting each dish, I can state that every plate offers a touch of something unique, surprising or unexpected. The plates are prepared with a high degree of refinement.
One of the details which stood out to me was how much the true flavours of the vegetables were honoured—not just the proteins. I've never tasted such potent flavours while mainting the delicateness of the produce. In true Italian fashion, it was all about showing off the quality of the produce.
The sommelier chose excellent wines— perfect accompaniments and well-versed in the choices. Like the dishes, each brought a little surprise, an unexpectedness, or a touch of difference to the palate. I even asked for an amaro at the end, and let the choice to him. At that point he understood what I was looking for. Fantastic.
The open kitchen is a pure pleasure to see. You can sit with the chefs in view on one side, and a beautiful panaroma of Firenze on the other. Get a table before sundown, see the sunset, then the lights at night.
One final detail, which for me was great to see. The kitchen itself is diverse —en, women and different cultures collaborating on their creations. Quite a sight in a cuisine culture which is as traditionalist as Italy's.
A must-visit if you are in the area, and worth the trip outside Firenze for the beautiful views alone.
