Fiaschetteria Di Pesce

Our Airbnb host recommended this place while we were in Florence, and it was right outside our space, so it was too convenient not to try. We walked in as soon as they opened, and we were immediately greeted by who I can only assume to be one of the owners. We don’t know too much Italian, and the gentleman seating apologized that he did not speak very good English, but we worked together to communicate throughout the night! The atmosphere was really nice and felt very upscale. Pretty soon after we were seated, all of the tables filled. We ordered a starter of salmon, tuna and barramundi (I think) tartare. It was not seasoned, but served with salt, pepper, olive oil and bread and was a very simple and delicious starter. For mains, we desperately wanted good pasta, so my boyfriend got the daily special, which was a spaghetti with sardines and fresh tomato sauce, and I got fresh pasta with a mix of shellfish. Both dishes were very delicious and I had to do my best not inhale it in two seconds. We also had the house white wine, which was really a nice wine. For dessert we had the presumed owner’s recommendation of tiramisu. Oddly, we’d had bad tiramisu during our stay in Italy, but this tiramisu was the best we had during our entire trip. I am a believer that if food is made with love, it will show through the food, and I feel the opposite to be true as well. I think this place puts a lot of love into their food and their customers reap the benefits. I highly recommend you stop by if you have a chance!

Absolutely amazingly Delicious and super fresh food. We went here about two years ago, and we were blown away by the taste of the dishes. This time Florence was not in our itinerary, but because my husband liked their food Dom much, he drove extra 2 hours just to dine in this restaurant. That’s how much we loved the food here))) I think it says a lot. This time we ordered seafood lasagna, and it was out of this word. Sensational!!!!

I ordered the whole branzino which was ok. I’ve had much better in the states. The problem was with my wife’s order of 2 prawns. They were either overcooked or bad as it was total mush. They apologized and took it away and we ended up splitting mine. The real issue was they were going to charge us 11 euros anyway for her dish which was inedible! His response was the meal normally would have been 35 euro which makes no sense. He was obviously trying to screw me. After arguing, I got back my 11 euro. Just awful. Stay away!!
