Here is a special address in the San Frediano district, for its quiet location in the charming piazza del Cestello, in the shade of the 15th century church of the same name, for its clientele of regulars and, finally, for its refined atmosphere. As soon as you enter, an imposing bar and a fish stall welcome you. The menu favours seafood products, such as shrimp carpaccio or tuna tartar on a bed of mozzarella. Courtesy service in the image of this first-class restaurant. As a bonus, the presentation of the dishes is quite exuberant!

A must in Florence.
We were a table of 2 sat at a booth for 8+ people. The table was nice, but watching the serving staff have to uncomfortably wiggle in and out of the booth for water, silverware, plates, everything…was extremely awkward.
We had a couple of good bites, but it was all just fresh seafood with very little chef intervention outside of grilling shrimp or slicing sashimi. Sashimi was undressed and the oysters were not shucked properly, so we had to dig them out ourselves. (For €8/oyster, that’s unacceptable) There were 3 complimentary chef tasting bites that…well, we almost spit out. Actually really terrible.
And then there’s the price. We’ll happily pay higher price for incredible experience and food. Unfortunately this was not that. You’re looking at almost $50 for an appetizer that is disappointing. $20 for a cocktail that was very small and not even made with the proper menu ingredients. Overall I just cannot fathom a way to justify the high prices. So much so that we grabbed our check after the first course and walked somewhere else for dinner.
Again, maybe an off night - but this was the honest experience.
