We loved our dinner at il Desco. Food was great, cosy ambiance and friendly service. The fact that they have a certified gluten free menu is fantastic.

Really wonderful food and great service. Very accommodating of coeliacs / gluten free and a wide variety of options that surpass the usual option of penne only. Highly recommend

This is a lovely restaurant with excellent food and great service. I cannot eat gluten / wheat so was thrilled to find this restaurant that serves many GF dishes, and the food is delicious! The ambience is lovely too, put this on your list of top restaurants in Florence.

Sadly my meal wasn’t great. I ordered a steak, asked for it to be prepared « rare ». It was served medium well. I asked to have it redone, the second steak was very rare (which is fine) but the steak was at least 50% fat. It was not a nice piece of meat. The restaurant itself is very nice with a warm atmosphere but both the service (which was cold at best) and the food have little to be talked about.

I absolutely loved this place we went twice. The salads are wonderful and the minestrone soup and pici. My husband ate the salmon both times, one of his favorites ever preparing. It’s got such a cozy and romantic vibe it’s like only you know about it. Except you can’t have a perfect night every time, eventually some loud Americans or Aussies find you. Despite occasional noise they can’t help, the service is so gracious and kind, highly recommended!!

Best meal we’ve had in Florence! Wait staff was fantastic. Dinner was amazing. Our antipasti was the Caprese salad. I had the lamb, my friend had the boar stew, we shared a pistachio cheesecake. Highly recommend!! Not to mention it was a gluten free restaurant!!

Prezzi troppo alti rispetto alla qualità del cibo. Conto di oltre 80€, più alto di circa 20 euro rispetto alla media di quanto e cosa si è mangiato, a causa di prezzi troppo alti per, ad esempio: calice vino della casa (7.5€), dolce (7.5€), coperto (3.5€), primo non di pesce (17€), etc. Tutto non giustificabile a mio parere per qualità e servizi offerti.

The service was very friendly. Make sure to make a reservation as we saw a lot of people turned away. The house wine is delicious at a fantastic price. We focused on local dishes that turned out to be absolutely amazing. We were limited on time, I wish we would have been able tomproperly savoir everything. Highly recommend!
