Boccadarno

Stopped here always looking for a neighborhood restaurant that is more equipped for excellent food than for tourists. We got really lucky stopping here. We had dishes recommended by staff and we were highly plwased. The menu has no English which Is a good sign but staff will help. They specialize in fish. The place is great in a sweet little wide spot in the road. I’m very happy!

Amazing service! Had originally came in to buy a bottle of wine. Well little did I know that the owner Franco and his daughter Carlotta would treat us to one of the best experience of our trip. Our first visit we took our bottle of wine and had them make us a special plate of cheeses and meats. We then decided to come back and have dinner. We had their pasta with salmon and caviar. We also tried the pesto pasta, asparagus with pine nuts. Delicious! The dessert for the night was a awesome cheesecake and tiramisu! Everything is made in house! So we didn’t get enough so on our last day of our trip we came back and tried seafood risotto excellent! My wife asked for a recommendation so Carlotta ask the chef to make her a special dish of San Pedro fish with thinly cut potatoes with mushrooms. Excellent!

My newly wedded wife and I enjoyed a fantastic honey moon throughout Europe. The best food and service came from a lovely new restaurant in Florence. Across the river in a small and cute square we found Boccadarno.
I lived in Firenze for 2 years about 10 years ago and I did not recognize this new restaurant after we were finished taking our sunset stroll from Michelangelo’s Point.
We decided to give it a try and found the service to be remarkable and the food very delicious. They specialize in Seafoods and I absolutely loved the Gnocchi.
While many places in Florence can have snooty service, this restaurant had wonderful waitresses that were willing to allow us to practice our Italian with them. With smiles and helpfully answering our questions on the language, they also were there timely to fill our glasses and make kind recommendations.
I will certainly be back, perhaps on our anniversary.
