Florence Restaurants

  1. Ashoka

    For fine Indian dining at comparatively reasonable prices it is hard to surpass this place, one of the few Indian options in Florence. A reasonable range of predictable dishes, from tandoori to biryanis and kormas , can be washed down with cold Kingfisher beer.

  2. Finisterrae

    With its labyrinth of interlocking dining halls and Arabesque lounges, this place screams (softly) 'chill!' as you wander in. Mood music combines with candlelight to create the kind of setting you might imagine in certain restaurants in, well, Soho. Foodwise, you're looking at simple Italian or Maghreb fare. Pop by for a Sunday brunch.

  3. Masa

    About the most refined and well-prepared Japanese you will find in Florence. Head downstairs to the fussily efficient dining room - all hushed chat and serious concentration on good grub. You'll probably feel a little underdressed without a tie.

  4. Momoyama

    Ambrosia for the jaded palate, this stylish and cosy place is one of the best restaurants in town and a magnet for well-heeled trendies. It specialises in exquisitely presented Japanese and 'inventive cuisine' - stick to the Japanese and you won't be disappointed.
