Came over to this top rated restaurante for a truffle tasting menu with my husband on day 4 of our stay in Florence In love with all the procedures - the sparkling wine on the house, cheese/ chocolate on the house to start with the ordering and the lovely candle light, nice vintage plates and leather wrapped wine menu. The food is not heavy but full of flavour, stimulating my taste bud. The wine paring is perfect - intoxicating but doesn’t cause any headache the next day. Beef ravioli and beef steak are well prepared and cooked. And even the dessert is the top notch. (Not for the sweet but for the texture, matching and flavour)

We had the 7 course tasting menu. Everything was top notch. One of the best meals on our trip to Italy. Deserves a Michelin star. Book ahead of time!

A posh restaurant in a romantic setting. Specializes in a truffle tasting menu, as well as various cheese & charcuterie tastings. Reservations recommended (especially for dinner). We came for lunch specifically to try their truffle items. What we liked: - Tagliolini with black truffle (Amazing truffle pasta. Both the taste & the texture are clean and elegant. Luxury on the palate at its best.) - Dessert (Sadly I do not recall the name, but it is apparently a variation of a Sicilian dessert. Beautiful balance of flavors and textures.) What could have been better: - Risotto “Riserva San Massimo”, peas, marinated egg, red onion (The dish fell short of expectations for us, because the other ingredients overpowered the truffle - which we thought would be the "main star" of the dish. While tasty, overall the dish felt a bit "busy".) - The service was cold and almost unwelcoming and inattentive (e.g. the bread was served with the dishes, as opposed to beforehand). Candidly I was expecting a lot more given the ambience and up-scale nature of the restaurant. - The wine selection by the glass was limited in terms of flavor profile.

If you like truffle, cheese, good wine and great service, you have to eat here. We were celebrating a birthday, and were offered an awesome surprise cake. In addition to our truffle-sprinkled desert from our tasting menu. David, our multilingual server, had a great sense of humour, and was becoming more and more fluent in French (our language of choice at the table) by the minute. A great night to remember. Compliments to the chef!

Disappointing dining experience in Florence My husband and I are travelling to Florence for our honeymoon. Every restaurants we went impressed us with the wonder of Italian cuisine. Great food, lovely wine. However, Degusteria Italiana has made me lost faith in Florence’s restaurants. We were attracted into the restaurants with their beautiful interior designs. After we settled in, the waitress presented us with champagne and three appetisers, including chesse, truffle and games. Which it correlates to the theme of the menu: cheese truffle and games. It is quite thoughtful and the dish tastes alright. After the tasting dish, the menu was presented. The waitress was quite pushy on the food that we order, expecting us to order more. The food is over the average price of the restaurants in Florence, which is expected as the setting of the restaurant is very delicate. We ordered one appetiser and three pastas, with a bottle of wine. The house bread came first, and we were not given any butter, olive oil or any other spread. The bread was blend and hard in texture, it is the first red flag. The appetiser is at the “cheese” part of the menu, “bomboneria creamo”. We were given a pink cream of cheese which is not very appealing. The texture of the dish is mush with the taste of cheese but all the other sides and sauces did not elevate the dish. The taste of the game ravioli is very average. Anyone can get it from any of the restaurants in Florence. The truffle risotto had generous amount of truffles thus the dish is recused. I believe as long as you put enough Italian truffles on a dish, a dish would become tasty (and expensive of course). The last dish was a complete disaster. It is tagliatelle with deer and dark chocolate sauce. The pasta was perfectly cooked but the sauce tasted like melted dark chocolate with minced meat. To be honest, I am from Hong Kong, and I have travelled to different parts of europe and currently moved to London, I have not had such a disgusting pasta in my life. Imagine putting pasta into a bowl of melted dark chocolate, that is exactly the pasta I had. I understand innovation and creativity is needed for developing new dishes, however, the tastebud of a chef is crucial in this experiment. Rest assured, in Degusteria Italiana, the chef is lacking of this important skill. We do not even want to get the dessert as the gastronomical experience was not up to par. However, they managed to push the bottom line even further with complimentary sweets. The truffle aka not truffle tastes the best. It tastes like milk truffles. The almond treat coated with icing sugar was very sweet with slushy texture gave me goosebumps. The filled cookie tasted like paper. All in all, you can definitely find better restaurants in Florence at this price range. It is such a trauma for me as I have to type this review once I got out of the restaurant. Simply did not expect pasta in Italy was this bad.

One of the best spot to experience wonderful truffle dishes, especially during the current truffle season. There's a truffle tasting menu or you can order à la carte, which was what we did. We ordered a tartar as an appetiser, the main dishes were the filetto, carrè and the truffle pasta, an absolute perfection. The staff service was awesome too, a brief description was provided for each dish and a bit of introduction to the truffles. The restaurant is located nearby the Uffizi Gallery and there are only a few seats so better reserve ahead!

A friend wanted to try this place when he was visiting, I’m happy to say this was an amazing discovery! They have a great selection of cold cuts, we tried the game meat and found it very interesting (the portion was a bit big for us two but we finished it nonetheless!), the pasta and risotto were perfectly cooked seasoned. I’d recommend making a reservation as the place is quite small, definitely worth a visit!

We absouletly loved this restaurant. Ambiance can not get romantic then this,having a candle light lunch was really nice,we had really tasty cheese camed with the home made bread.Then we had the steak tartar,and it was one of the best we had so far. It was really really good I’ll definitely be wanting to eat that again,soon! Risotto was really good too,all the flavours were there and even we were completely full we finished the plate. The wine recommended to us was very nice. I definitely recommend you to experience this experience. reservations are required.

Degusteria Italiana stole our hearts with its intimate atmosphere and exceptional food. With only eight tables, the restaurant exudes a sophisticated charm that's perfect for a special occasion. We opted for the à la carte menu, allowing us to indulge in two delicious courses each. The flavors were fresh, seasonal, and expertly balanced, leaving us more than satisfied. But the star of the show was the wine selection. Extensive and impressive, it offered the perfect pairing for every dish. Overall, Degusteria Italiana is a gem, offering an unforgettable dining experience in Florence.

Amazing service, food and wine, ambience. Except their main dishes were not up to my liking. Beef fillet was too rare, and chewy, and the garnishes did not quite garnish the beef well. Experimental and it felt as though each component was separate entities. But my white truffle tagliolini was THE BEST pasta I’ve ever had in my life. I should’ve ordered two orders of this instead of feeling obligated to order a main dish.. I’d come back for the truffled pasta with 100% certainty

Perfect birthday dinner- very expensive But was great for a special occation. The picture show the cheese tasting menu with the complementary prosecco, a white wine and a red wine. Coperto is 15€ per person, a lot but the service is worth it, the they were charming and so funny. Dont go there if you are hungry, sadly the portions are small but is there to enjoy the taste of the special food

We were visiting from San Francisco for our honeymoon. We came for lunch and ordered the black truffle pasta, ravioli, and a truffle based dessert. All the dishes were lots of fun with bold and playful flavors. The atmosphere was very romantic with mood lighting and piano music. We would visit again.

This was amazing! Very small restaurant but charming! Service is excellent. Next time I am in Florence I am coming back for more ravioli and pasta for lunch and dinner, the best ravioli we ever had. The only one common I have for the chef is that stake/filletto di manzo for 38 euros is not good, raw and chewy and missing a flavor I want my money back for the stake that bad! Overall the best pasta, and ravioli is to die for that good!

The food are fabulous and delicious, and the service are excellent! My daughter tried out 62 degree egg with black truffle and I’d beef fillet with violet potatoes and black truffle, both were well presented and the dishes tasted real good! We completed with caramelia with dark chocolate and truffle as well sesame cream with kiwi! We enjoyed very much and for sure this will be highly recommended to my friends in Hong Kong!

I really wanted to love this place, but it was not worth the price. We did a game tasting and truffle tasting. We loved maybe 50 percent of everything, 25 was okay, and 25 was just not working. The truffle menu especially was hit or miss, and it felt like the truffle was an afterthought, not necessarily complimenting the other flavors. There were maybe 5 tables when we finished and it took over 30 minutes to get the bill. 4 courses took about 3 hours, it was just way too slow. Unfortunately the second most expensive meal we had in Italy but our least favorite. The main for the game tasting was duck, which was about 3 bites, one of which was almost all fat/cartilage and another was basically a thin piece of charcuterie. Neither dessert was very good. But the pastas were great.

An excellent restaurant in the heart of Florence! We had truffle cheese and cured meat tasting, tagliolini with black truffle, burnt wheat tagliatelle, goose, turnip tops, black currant and coffee. Every dish was prepared to perfection. The service was impeccable. Quality at a reasonable price. Highly recommended!

This was our best dining experience in all of Italy. A romantic setting with a masterful menu and attentive staff. We chose the white and black truffle tasting menu and it was perfection from start to finish. The pork ravioli was the stand out dish, but all showed a very technical use of the truffle. Excellent wine suggestions and for a menu that included large amounts of truffle on every dish, very reasonably priced.

Our favorite dining experience of our vacation! We chose the seven course tasting menu for cheese, truffle, and game. This included a creamy provolone cheese with gels, the sixty-two degree egg with broccoli, buckwheat, and peanut crumble with white truffle, the 24 months of age to Parmesan cheese ravioli with pear, and balsamic vinegar, the tagliolini with white truffle, ravioli with hare, chocolate ganache with chestnut and rosemary, buffalo ricotta mousse with lemon, and other small tasty treats. We did the wine pairing as well. Everything was fantastic, great evening with delicious food and wine. Highly recommend booking a table if you’re in Florence and book early as the number of tables is limited.

During our stay in Florence, my fiancée and I were excited to visit here to try out the tasting menu. The ambiance exuded romance, and the staff were warm and welcoming. However, the culinary experience fell short of our expectations. To start, we were presented with an amuse bouche featuring truffle, cheese, and game, intended to showcase the restaurant's signature menu. Regrettably, the flavors didn't live up to our expectations, so we ended up ordering á la carte: 62° egg, ravioli, risotto, and goose tagliatelle. While the tagliatelle managed to satisfy my palate to some extent, considering the price point, I had anticipated more in terms of both presentation and taste. The risotto, in particular, was excessively seasoned, leaving an overpowering saltiness and sourness. Truly disappointed.

Best meal so far in all of Italy! We went for lunch as dinner were booked out for most nights. There didn’t seem to be as much lunch trade, but that didn’t stop the girls (all the staff seems to be girls and so was the head chef I think). I couldn’t resist the Uovo 62 ° with truffles and it was the best!! The venison sirloin was just very, very good. My partner had Ravioli ripieni di Parmigiano 24 mesi, mostarda di pere e aceto balsamico, and it was exquisite. It wasn’t just the taste but also the presentation. After that we were encouraged to not miss out on dessert. While my partner had Ganache elastica di cioccolato "Amatika 46%" fragola, kiwi, miele e curcuma, I had a cheese tasting plate. This was all accompanied but the excellent wine choices of the sommelier who was a very knowledgeable lady. The cheeses: PECORiNO Di PiENZA CROSTA FIORITA BARBABELLO BITTO VACCiNO VALTELLINA IGP pecorino enses e paratro zafferano e pepe DOP ERBORINATO Di CAPRA ALTA LANGA

This was my second time visiting degusteria Italiana for lunch. The first time left me with little to no memory of what I had. This second visit involved a lot of white truffle which I am quite a fan of. One thing I remember from the past visit as well is the service. It was the same person doing the lunch service and she was very professional and courteous. I enjoyed her service. As for the food we had a tartare with white truffle, ravioli with parmesan cheese and pear and the leek risotto with white truffles. The first 2 dishes were very good and the third one good but slightly underwhelming. Last mention is for beautiful, and very complete wine list.

A highlight of Florence! Some of the best food have ever had. David, the waiter was excellent and extremely helpful in helping us pick what ur courses and made excellent suggestions. Would recommend anyone to try the parmesan ravioli. It is to die for! I also tried their unique dark chocolate and lemon pasta as a starter. It was delicious and unlike anything I've tried before. If you like unusual flavor pairings then this is the starter for you. For my main ate the veal fillet which was also delicious and cooked perfectly. I would highly recommend this restaurant! Inside it is warm and cosy and the atmosphere and the staff make you feel very welcome. Thank you David and Holly for making our experience at Degusteria Italiana so unforgettable!

Absolutely incredible experience. The food was delicious and very sophisticated, the servers were attentive and friendly, and the ambience was really romantic. We will never forget this beautiful night!
