Il Basilico - Florence

Not what I expected. I loved the soup, but was disappointed by the risotto. I can make it much better at home... No one ever asked me if I wanted bread and never gave me bread, when the soup was clearly indicated WITH BREAD on the menu. Not the right way to manage customers.....

Great service, great food and lots of it! Didn’t have to wait long for it to arrive but we also weren’t rushed out of the door when we’d finished. Nice, relaxed atmosphere. Would definitely go again next time we’re in the neighbourhood.

The fried polenta was amazing, same as the other plates. The staff is very friendly and fast, and the atmosphere is very pleasing. You can see the kitchen and the meal being prepared, which is interesting.

Fantastic Florence/Tuscan food. Fabulous pizza marinara, risotto and sausage bean stew. Everything perfect. Service was very good and relaxed. Would highly recommend eating here as much better food, experience, portions and price. Excellent value for money. It is off the main streets and piazzas but well worth going here!

Service unbelievable. Main gentleman seemed to be running all evening. Every table filled. Noisy due to street but this seems to he the norm here in Firenze. Had the Bistecca Florentine. Definitely underseasoned. But with the olive oil on the table and salt and pepper it was very good.
