Don’t walk, run to this restaurant! Probably the best restaurant in Florence! Amazing food and incredible service!!! Have it all. They can’t make it wrong. The grilled shrimp and scampi were fresh & delicious! Wanted seconds do the fish! Desserts were out of this world! The waiters and the bartender were all great to chat with and truly wanted to make sure we were happy.

An absolute fine dining experience in Florence that comes with a higher price tag. The seafood here are very fresh and we are satisfied. Compliments to service crew who are attentive, polite and professional to explain each dishes to us upon serving and also before ordering. The wine is topped up periodically and food served in a reasonable pace for us to enjoy. The amberjack and tuna tartare faired reasonably well. The sashimi platter is a bit of a let down as size of Oysters were relatively small, scampi and prawns were ok, raw fish (Amberjack, Salmon and Tuna) were not served to our liking. We requested for Caciucco which is a Tuscany specialty and off the menu, resto is able to accomodate and produce, fairly well done but not within the expectations. The ambience is conducive for a great dining experience, chic and cozy. Table setting is changed and set for every dish, so this is truly commendable for the effort. Crowd starts to set in at 21h, so take note of the peak hours here.

The Cestello Ristoclub restaurant in Florence (Firenze) Italy is an excellent dinning experience!! The food was perfectly prepared the service was welcoming and very attentive throughout our meal, the ambiance is relaxing and inviting and the view is artistically inspiring.

It’s possible we came on an off night, because there a loads of good reviews here. However…our experience does not feel the same. We were a table of 2 sat at a booth for 8+ people. The table was nice, but watching the serving staff have to uncomfortably wiggle in and out of the booth for water, silverware, plates, everything…was extremely awkward. We had a couple of good bites, but it was all just fresh seafood with very little chef intervention outside of grilling shrimp or slicing sashimi. Sashimi was undressed and the oysters were not shucked properly, so we had to dig them out ourselves. (For €8/oyster, that’s unacceptable) There were 3 complimentary chef tasting bites that…well, we almost spit out. Actually really terrible. And then there’s the price. We’ll happily pay higher price for incredible experience and food. Unfortunately this was not that. You’re looking at almost $50 for an appetizer that is disappointing. $20 for a cocktail that was very small and not even made with the proper menu ingredients. Overall I just cannot fathom a way to justify the high prices. So much so that we grabbed our check after the first course and walked somewhere else for dinner. Again, maybe an off night - but this was the honest experience.

Im a food lover, traveling mostly with the purpose of finding a new special place for culinary experiences! This is one of the best restaurants I have ever been! EXCELLENCE! I strongly recommend it! A combination of a very special atmosphere that people who work there create and delicious food - large variety of fish and mariscos and at the same time exotic and experimental proposals from The chef! Love it! This restaurant deserves a special traveling to beautiful Florence!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

This hidden gem in Florence is truly a must-visit destination. Conveniently located nearby, yet tucked away in a tranquil setting, it offers a delightful escape from the bustling city center. From the moment you step inside, the attention to detail in every aspect of this establishment is truly remarkable. Despite our late arrival, we decided to take a seat at the bar and indulge in some exquisite drinks accompanied by fresh oysters. The cocktails here are nothing short of artistry, meticulously crafted with great precision. Although we didn't have the opportunity to sample the food, observing the dishes being served from our vantage point at the bar, everything appeared to be flawlessly presented. Moreover, the customer service provided was unparalleled. Our bartender exuded both friendliness and an exceptional level of professionalism, ensuring a memorable experience. If you find yourself in Florence, this establishment undoubtedly deserves a place on your itinerary. I can’t finish this review with out giving a special thank you to Alessio or mixologists, that totally made our night.

We came there for dessert and drinks.The restaurant is impeccable and appeals to foodies!Small portions ,very romantic and incredible food delicacies . our dessert was delicious and the presentation was incredible! worth a splurge!

The “divine” oyster are the best oyster I’ve try in my whole life

Very high class seafood restaurant, fresh fish. A must in Florence.

This was by far the best meal we have had in Italy, and it is our second time here in one year. The service and food were impeccable. We ordered oysters, caviar, pork ribs, deer and pasta and it exceeded our expectations. Skip the Michelin star restaurants and come here, you won’t be disappointed.

Quality of food is decent, but if you don't want to have seafood you don't get much options. The staff are not really knowledgeable, I wanted seabass but they were sold out so the waiter was trying to push the sea bream on me saying that it's exactly the same as seabass!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was extremely annoying, for people who actually enjoy food and have good taste buds they know these two fish may look the same but definitely they don't have same texture or taste!

On of the best dining experiences that I have ever had 😍😍😍 the food is exquisite 🔥

Fab place, superb food and great staff. Fabulous seafood restaurant! Intimate atmosphere with a DJ !

The ambiance is incredible; the cocktails, delicious; we were given complimentary popcorn and olives to snack on with our drinks. Great experience!

This was my last night in Florence, and I wanted to go to the best seafood restaurant available and a quick search on Google brought me to this place. The atmosphere and vibe were quite nice, customer service was great and presentation of the food was fantastic. However, the food wasn't as good as I was hoping it to be given price, and supposed best seafood restaurant in Florence status. I'd give the food a 3.5/5, atmosphere 3.9/5 and customer service 4.5/5 So a total of 3.9 I'd recommend for the atmosphere, customer service and experience, however, if like me, you came purely for the food, I'd suggest to go elsewhere.

If you love seafood, ambiance, and fine dining - this might become the best meal of your life. A friend who knows the owner brought me here two weeks ago - and I'm still salivating with delight. We had a multi course meal over a few hours, and each dish was remarkable from the creative presentation, to the contrasting and complimentary flavors, to the textures and wine pairings. Plus, the wait staff were friendly and knowledgeable and attentive. It was the cuisine based equivalent of a spa day - I felt spoiled, pleasantly surprised, relaxed, well taken care of, and in love every step of the way.

Really nice ambience, good service and food was awesome. If you are looking for a Michelin star quality food on a simple but yet tasty food, this is your place! Appetizer are amazing

One of the best in town for fresh seafood ( especially the raw ones)

Wonderful restaurant in Florence . We make a point to go every time in town .

Great atmosphere and seafood, beautifully cooked, presented and served with flair - but at EUR 270 for 1.5 kilo fish, probably the most expensive sea bass in Europe?
