""Mortgage your house" if you must to dine at Annie Féolde's "stunning" Renaissance "beauty" "at least once in your life" assert acolytes of this "luxurious" Croce Italian." Full review
Gayot "A surprising, inventive twist on Italian cooking is the main draw at this acclaimed restaurant." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Michelin-starred Pinchiorri is frequently described as Italy’s finest restaurant and it has one of Europe’s best stocked cellars with over 80,000 bottles."
Rough Guide "The food is as magnificent as the plaudits suggest, but the formality of the place is not to everyone's taste, and the prices are delirious."
Condé Nast Traveler "One of the best restaurants in Florence, if not all of Italy—and certainly the most outrageously expensive—this elegant temple to culinary excellence oozes formal, old-fashioned luxury." Full review
Michelin Guide 3 Stars
"Pinchiorri has represented luxury and haute cuisine at the highest level in Italy. The restaurant has a number of dining rooms, including a historic room, which has an almost museum-like feel." Full review

Fodor's "Since opening its doors in 1869, this trattoria has been serving top-notch, unpretentious food to Florentines who like their bistecca fiorentina very large and very rare." Full review
Frommer's "The primi are very simple: pasta in sauce, tortellini in brodo (meat-stuffed pasta in chicken broth), and zuppa alla paesana (peasant soup ribollita)." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Sostanza is also known as Il Troia (the trough) because its long, wooden communal tables are always packed with diners enjoying the same signature dishes." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "This full-of-charm hole-in-the-wall—a Florence classic for nearly 150 years—offers just six tables (so do book ahead) and has had the same staff for the past two decades." Full review
Afar Magazine "Not an upscale gourmet place, but popular with locals, and a place to practice my rusty Italian." Full review
Fodor's "This trattoria has been serving top-notch, unpretentious food to Florentines...the tartino di carciofi (artichoke tart) and the pollo al burro (chicken with butter) are signature dishes." Full review
