6 Florence Restaurants With the Best Views

"MICHELIN-Starred Serrae Villa Fiesole has the view to give all others a run for their money — the panoramic vistas from this converted Medici villa are worth the drive or bus ride up to the hills. At the wheel in the kitchen is Antonello Sardi, who demonstrates a commitment to superb raw ingredients from the Tuscan region. Tasting menus are conceptual without feeling forced or gimmicky, each centering a different aspect of Sardi’s approach — or giving him full carte blanche. Among the main courses, the Pagliana pigeon is a standout." - Mary Gray

"The view of Florence is just one of the many reasons to come to Serrae, which also boasts an attractive renovated decor, a fine location in a Medici villa and, last but certainly not least, superb local cuisine which is imaginative and full of flavour. Bufala tortellini with smoked eel and lovage, and pigeon with liver “olives” are among the highlights." - Michelin Inspector

My wife and I ordered 3 course lunch but we had almost 9 courses including welcome appetizers and deserts. Such an excellent view in which you can see the entire city of Florence from your table. Food and service were both exceptional. They have a huge wine list and wine pairing recommendation was excellent. I strongly recomment this place if you visit Florence and want to experience next-level fine dining experience.

My now fiancée booked the restaurant for dinner after our proposal. It was the most amazing, special, beautiful evening. The food was so delicious, every dish was unique and beautifully crafted! The flavours were amazing!! The chefs are so talented! The hosts / waiters were so lovely and made us feel so welcome and looked after. Especially Yosef - he explained every dish so well and gave us recommendations. The most beautiful flowers at our panoramic view table which we got to take home with us was such a special touch. The atmosphere and music at the restaurant was so wonderful. Amazing views for sunset over the whole of Florence. We cannot recommend this spot more!! We would love to return one day once we have got married.

The worst Michelin I’ve ever tasted. The sauce is too heavy & too salty. Small bites and desserts are only ones taste okay.

An Exquisite Experience From start to finish, everything about this restaurant was exceptional. The atmosphere was warm and elegant, the food was a masterpiece in every bite, and the service was flawless — attentive without being intrusive. Each course was beautifully presented and even more delicious than the last. Perfect dining experience 🥰❤️

We only got the 3-course lunch menu but it was already spectacular. The breathtaking Tuscany view, the locally sourced ingredients, the understated creative flair, the attentive service 👌 Nothing pretentious - just (exceptionally) good food & genuinely good service. Well deserving star.

An absolutely astounding experience from start to finish,leaving your tastebuds with a deeper desire for more. I went for the tasting menu with wine pairings. 🍷🍴: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 💶💲: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 🙋🏻‍♂️ 🧑🏼: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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.

This was an amazing experience, from the greeting to the goodbye. Having dined at many Michelin restaurants I have to say that Serrae was one of the best. Quite possibly one of the 3 best dinners I have ever had. The staff were spectacular and the food was sublime. This is a “must dine” upon every return to Florence.

We ate here in July- on the patio. We did the 9 course tasting which was incredible, and we were well attended to. We took a cab in from Florence and the concierge called one for us on the way back while we reminisced about the menu and meal. Best meal we’ve eaten in the last three years. We chose it because they accommodate food preferences which many don’t. Our only hiccup was the sommelier was not there so we could not do the wine pairing, but the wines they picked for us were lovely. We are still thinking about the green pepper dish we had, which was such s surprise, and loved the clear Italian influence. The “upgrade” in service at the end was such a pleasant surprise. Would highly recommend. We also really appreciated the interaction from the Chef. You can feel how much he cares and thinks about the food and the experience.
