The story
Fiorentina sits on Grodzka Street, one of Kraków's oldest thoroughfares, and has established itself as one of the city's most serious Polish fine dining destinations. The restaurant earned the Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence in 2025 — recognition that speaks directly to the depth and curation of its wine programme alongside the quality of the food it frames.
The restaurant's head chef is Robert Koczawra, who has completed an apprenticeship at El Celler de Can Roca in Catalonia, the three-Michelin-starred benchmark of contemporary gastronomy. Sous chef Grzegorz Przebinda followed the same path, completing his own internship at the same legendary kitchen. That both senior members of the culinary team have trained at one of the world's most technically demanding restaurants is not incidental — it shapes how Fiorentina approaches Polish cuisine: with rigour, precision, and an appetite for technique that goes well beyond convention.
The menu at Fiorentina is rooted in Polish cuisine, but the kitchen brings an international perspective earned through experience at the highest level. The restaurant also accommodates private events and larger gatherings, with outdoor seating and full wheelchair access rounding out a setting that is both considered and inclusive.
The Wine Spectator award underscores what regulars already know: that the cellar here is treated with the same seriousness as the plate. For anyone looking to experience Polish cuisine at its most ambitious in Kraków, Fiorentina is a clear reference point.
