 American Brunch |
Via dell'Acqua 2r Florence 50122 Italy +39 055 290 748 |
The restaurant opened in 2005 after 3 twenty-something Washington-D.C. natives observed that, while Florence was teeming with Americans, the city lacked an affordable place for Sunday brunch. Packed with study-abroad students longing for a taste of home, the diner serves fresh and delicious pancakes, burgers, homemade muffins and omelets. With only 30 seats, this small bistro fills up fast on Sunday mornings. During its non-brunch hours, the menu boasts excellent seafood dishes at moderate prices, while its sister restaurant across the street handles those with meat, chicken, and pasta. -Hana Alberts Review © 2007, Wcities |

Home of Buontalenti Gelato |
Viale dei Mille 20r Florence 50131 Italy +39 055 578 682 http://www.buontalenti.it/ |
Apparent by the double-parked cars out front, people come from all around to enjoy Badiani's. It is said that the much loved flavor Buontalenti was created here! This unique cream-flavored gelato was said to have been named after Bernardo Buontalenti, the famous Mannerist architect and artist. He is believed to have invented frozen dessert (made of cream and fruits) for the Medici's extravagant court banquets. Among the most popular flavors are: Buontalenti, Pinolata, Stracciatella...but there are many more including lighter fruit flavors. Also offering fresh pastries, the cream and apple sfogliatelle are well worth a trip. -Maria Frullini Review © 2007, Wcities |

This is a perfect place for anyone who likes to stay out until late at night, as it is open until 4 in the morning. The international cuisine is served with originality with an emphasis on presentation. There is a choice of meat and fish dishes, including asparagus and prawns with lyonnaise sauce, ravioli with mushroom sauce and nuts, seafood spaghetti, filet in Dijon sauce and green pepper and salmon with bacon. There is also a good choice of wines. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Arthusian tradition |
Via Frà Bartolomeo, 52r Florence 50136 Italy +39 55 57 3257 |
This is a restaurant for after-theater or late night snacks. Start with cold antipasti like marinated herring, hare pâté with truffle, sheep's cheese with fig jam or prawn salad. There are meat second courses or savory crêpes. The wine is served by the glass and there is very good grappa to aid the digestion. The air conditioned room is simple but comfortable and the cooking is based on the Artusian tradition. Review © 2007, Wcities |
