Each dish is not just a meal but a work of art, beautifully plated and thoughtfully prepared.

Behind the scenes, the owner, Teresa, plays a pivotal role in creating a welcoming environment. Her passion for Italian cuisine shines through in every aspect of the dining experience.

Trust me, whether the freshness of the ingredients or the service, it is definitely a Michelin-level experience! This is not a big restaurant, so the owner can take very good care of every guest. And they have also good selection of wine, you can tell they really care about the Italian cuisine and hospitality. In short, if you want to have a perfect dining experience in Florence and you also like seafood, you must come here!

Creative but pricey option for dinner. This restaurant was not a great match for us.

We ordered two firsts and two seconds. There was a risotto which was amazing and some potato gnocchi that aside from looking like potatoes pieces was not noteworthy. They warned us the risotto would take at least 20 minutes though it was closer to 35 it seems.

For the mains we ordered the octopus and the lamb. The octopus was well cooked but the positron was tiny about half of one large tentacle for 25 euros. The lamb was lamb chops which we were not expecting and would not have orders. It was three very small chops maybe 3cm across on the meaty side. They were tasty but at 25 (or maybe 30) euros it was disappointing. We stopped here and left to find desert and coffee elsewhere.

The wine list was also disappointing. The glasses of wine on offer were not well rated. There are quite a few options for bottles around 30 euros but a lot of markup. Few wines that were well rated for example according to Vivino that we normally use. With so many awesome wines in Italy, they could use much better curation for quality bottles (at least for whites which we studied in more detail).

The decorations were mixed. All the tables featured a fresh rose that was sad and basically dead at this point. Depressing. The only highlight of the meal, besides the risotto, was the amazing collection of plates. So many cool and expensive little plates, different for each dish. That was great.

Maybe the restaurant is new and will improve in the coming months. I think it has the potential to be better.

UPDATE

The response from the owner is funny. I know it is frustrating to get a criticism from an American “tourist” at a “non-tourist” restaurant. I was traveling for business. I live in Europe several months of the year. I eat at fine dining restaurants all over. The simple message is that if you want to charge this much for tiny servings make it amazing. The plates are cool but the food just isn’t there. Not is the wine. Just try some of the competition. You need to do more than just buy expensive ingredients you need a chef that can back it up.

Amazing Restaurant
I don't know how this isn't rated 5 stars.
Owners are absolutely fantastic.
Could not have been more pleased.
We will definitely stop again on our next trip. Thank you for a wonderful evening.

Stumbled onto this amazing restaurant as we were looking for some seafood. The owner Teresa from Triani welcomed us even though we had no reservations.

The amuse bouche was a black rice tart with octopus mayo and yuzu sauce. Breads were warm and amazing.

The shrimp carpaccio starter was fresh and full of flavors. The table next to us had the smoked salmon tartare which had an amazing presentation.

Tuna tataki on creamed carrots was perfect. The tortello du ricotta with shrimp tartare had amazing flavor (although the pasta could have been less toothy)

The owner offered us her own creamy limoncello which was amazing to top off an amazing meal - best one in Italy to date.

I believe that a omeday this restaurant will be Michelin rated.

I was in Florence for holiday and found this restaurant on google maps. I was not sure what to expect.

However, friendly staffs welcomed me and my friends warmly and gave us the best guidance on food and wine.

We all loved the restaurant so much. So we had both lunch and dinner same day at the restaurant.

Thank you so much for the food and service. We had a great time at the restaurant.
