Ristorante Il Morellino

A must visit in Florence I was mistaken about the reservation time, lucky for me the accommodated us. Best meal we had during our 2 week vacation across Tuscany and Milan. Was not expecting to order the Florentine steak but my wife suggested and we both agreed it was our best steak to date. We’re quite the carnivores! Wine service was spectacular, everything was just top quality!!

"Un'esperienza indimenticabile!" 5 stelle Dall'antipasto al dolce, tutto è stato semplicemente perfetto. L'accoglienza calorosa e professionale ci ha subito messi a nostro agio. Il menù offre una selezione curata e originale, con ingredienti freschissimi e sapori equilibrati. Abbiamo provato " pici il morellino" è e stato un vero capolavoro! Anche il vino in abbinamento era impeccabile. Il servizio è stato attento ma mai invadente, con personale gentile e preparato. L’atmosfera del locale è elegante ma rilassata, ideale sia per una cena romantica che per una serata tra amici. Torneremo sicuramente! Grazie ai ragazzi che hanno fatto di tutto di accontentarci !!😊😊

Florence has a lot of good restaurants, so when you find one that really stands out, it’s a win! That is Ristorante Il Morellino! We found it based on reviews, and having been in Florence for a couple days, we had enjoyed some great meals. So our experience with Morellino is striking. First, seated right away, servers were very attentive without being imposing. We wanted to sample dishes so we ordered things in stages. The staff said no problem, and even checked with us to make sure the timing was what we wanted for food coming out. We started with toast with chicken liver pate, huge winner! Really well made, subtle flavors while still being a fresh made pate. Grilled octopus was our other first course, cooked perfectly and not over seasoned. The pecorino and pear ravioli was next, amazing complement of salty cheese and slightly sweet fruit. We ordered a sequence of truffle risotto, truffle pasta, and truffle steak. This is fresh truffle shaved on the dishes, not stinky truffle oil. The menu is extensive, so if you want pasta with meat sauce, or Carbonara, they are there too. The staff really wants you to enjoy the whole experience, which is so appreciated. One party in our group just arrived from Milan and commented that Ristorante Il Morellino was as good as a 3 Star Michelin restaurant he just ate at in Milan. Make reservations, there were a lot of walk ups who couldn’t get in. Pricing is reasonable, with a nice wine list that covers all price points with local Tuscany wines.

This restaurant is a true hidden gem in the heart of the city. From the very first moment, you can feel an authentic atmosphere, with warm hospitality and attentive but never intrusive service. The menu offers traditional dishes made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. From homemade pasta to flavorful main courses, every dish is a genuine experience that reflects the local cuisine. Portions are generous, flavors are well-balanced, and the prices are absolutely fair for the quality of the food. The ambiance is thoughtfully designed, without feeling artificial or overly touristy. It's the perfect place for those looking for an authentic dining experience, far from the usual tourist traps. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to discover the true essence of the local cuisine!
