The Restaurant at Continentale

"There’s nothing showy here—no bustling sidewalk restaurant, no ostentatious entrance, no snooty staff—just luxurious rooms, a decadent spa, and the coolest bar in town"

"There is no restaurant, but guests can eat at the Fusion Bar at sister hotel The Gallery just across the piazzetta"

"There is no formal on-site restaurant, but the bar puts together a small menu for midday munching, and there is a quartet of well-appointed lounges to enjoy, including the Media Room, where six to 10 people can convene at no charge"

"Packed full of locals, with a commanding and eccentric maître d’ who prefers to order for you and frowns if you don’t get stuck in to one of the hefty bottles of house red provided on all the tables, this is the classic Italian restaurant at its best"

"Additionally, guests have signing privileges at Hotel Lungarno’s restaurant serving top-rated Tuscan fare"

"It doesn’t hurt that the hotel is a three-minute walk from restaurants, Ponte Vecchio, Palazzo Vecchio, and the Uffizi Gallery"
