    4.5 | Food is delicious and service is incredibly friendly and hospitable. Their pasta was fresh and cooked to perfection. The local steak was good, initially slightly undercooked for our liking and they quickly grilled it a bit more. Wine selection was terrific and suggested pairings were well executed. Would go back!

    I had a dining experience on 7/16/22 and it was spectacular. I ordered pasta, wine, steak and a lovely lemon cake treat! If you come here you have to keep in mind its a small establishment and you will need to be mindful that make some great food (which explains why people 'pop in" to ask for a seat).

    Amazing restaurant with really nice vibe and staff. Starters and main dishes we're amazing. They have a lot of veggie friendly options. Staff was really kind, it felt like home!

    The only thing that was better than the food was the waitress that served our table, she was probably the nicest person I've ever met in a restaurant. The prices were very good, we payed 52€ for a dinner for 2 with wine, starter and two coffees. I highly recommend this place, zero regrets, if you come to Florence definitely come and eat here

    Had a great meal here with my daughters. Hadn't booked but they still managed to accommodate us. The brothers/ owners were knowledgeable and friendly. Helped with suitable wines. Brought us things to try that we were nor charged for. Beautiful food and great people!

    Really enjoyed our dinner here. The steak was delicious. The beans were awesome. The fish was really simple and delicious. The started out with two glasses of Prosecco and grilled bread. Yum. The owner came out to check on us. Our waiter (his son?) was charming and attentive. My only small criticism was that the desert was not quite up to expectation. Overall a wonderful little neighborhood place.

    A product of love. The food was delicious and you could tell it was made with care and attention to detail. The menu has some variety but it’s not overwhelming, and as soon as the antipasti arrives, you’ll be able to tell they only add items to the menu they have mastered. But the quality of the food might be second only to the level of attention the staff pays to the customers - after the meal, my wife and I joked “they might think we are critics!” Way outside the norm from our trip across Italy. The best meal we’ve had in Florence - will return on our next trip.

    Really lovely place. Owner was super nice and the atmosphere was really romantic and elegant. Compliments to the Chef, You could see all the work and effort went to each dishe as they were well prepared and tasty.

    Culinaria is in a lively Florence neighborhood a few steps away from the city center. It is an aperitivo place, which means you don't come here to eat one big main course, but instead to taste yourself through 2-3 smaller plates. Taste, presentation and ingredients of the food are of exceptional quality, as is the wine selection. Value for money is exceptional, we shared 5 plates, a bottle of wine and an aperitif for less than 100€ euro. Can absolutely recommend.

    Absolutely loved this restaurant so much we went twice in two nights! The food is outstanding, the service is fantastic! We had an enjoyable time! Try the octopus, risotto, or truffle pasta … actually try it all it was AMAZING 🤩

    Highly recommend this restaurant. It was our favourite meal while visiting Florence. The chef focused on fresh local ingredients and the dishes came together nicely. They also helped us pick a wine that paired perfectly with our meal. We will go back here on our next trip to Florence!

  • 5/5 Barry W. 1 year ago on Google
    Delayed review, better late than never. I am checking to see that the restaurant was still open to recommend to a friend traveling to Firenze in the next few weeks. My daughter and I were at the restaurant in 2019 and the service and food were wonderful. Memorable 3 years later.

    I felt like having a simple dish like carbonara for lunch, but could not find it on the menu. The chef kindly granted my wish and served it to me. It's simple yet subtle, and satisfying.

  • 4/5 Paschalis P. 2 years ago on Google
    The pasta of Culinaria are homemade and super delicious, full of taste. The ravioli filled with potatoes wild boar on top was a combination which kills. Really good dish. The gnocchi with artichoke was too bitter for my taste but the gnocchi it self excellent.You should also try the creme boulee and their amazing tiramisu !!! Last but not least the staff very friendly especially Marco !!! Nice and cozy place .

  • 5/5 Kirsten A. 1 year ago on Google
    Our last night in Florence and we were lucky enough to eat at this treasure of a restaurant. The food could not have been more delicious. From the pasta, to the fish and melt in your mouth steak. Then topped it off with the most exquisite dessert. Five different layers of chocolate cake. The service was also great. The perfect ending to our trip to Florence. Highly recommend. Don't miss this.

    Exceptional service and extraordinary food. Cheap and chill sorroundings. Best eating experience in Florence after five days!

  • 5/5 Stephen L. 10 months ago on Google
    Excellent dinner experience dining among locals and (some) other tourists, on “the other” side of the Arno. Chef and team were warm and welcoming and the food was fresh and just a little different from all the traditional Tuscan fare we enjoyed on our trip. Stuffed squash blossoms were fresh and delicious. The pumpkin risotto was also phenomenal.

    This resto was an amazing experience. We discovered it by chance and decided spontaneously to give it a try. First of all, the waitress was so friendly and smiling: a real sun! But more concretely, the meals were the perfect combinaison between the finess of Italian kitchen and the simplicity of its most tasteful products: they are all from small producers and home made. Cherry on the cake: they had crazy delicious natural wine - wish is pretty exceptional in Florence ! Shortly, just give a try as well, you won’t be disappointed. Thanks again for the experience, Juliette & JC

    My partner and I loved our dinner at this restaurant- it was the perfect combination of beautifully crafted, elegant dishes (well portioned though!) and down to earth, warm atmosphere looking out at the neighborhood park. There were excellent vegetarian options for me, and my partner loved the variety of non vegetarian options as well. In the end we couldn’t decide between two desserts because they both looked so good that we got them both and have no regrets! Would recommend to all!
