Degusteria Italiana

The story

Degusteria Italiana | Italian Contemporary Restaurant in Florence, Michelin Recommended

A Treasure in the Historic Heart of Florence

Degusteria Italiana sits on Via Lambertesca, just steps from the Galleria degli Uffizi, in the very core of Florence’s historic centre. The restaurant describes itself as “a treasure chest of delights for connoisseurs with a fine palate” – a fitting introduction to a place that pairs classic Tuscan elegance with a distinctly contemporary approach to Italian cuisine.

The dining room is intimate and refined: candlelit tables, soft background music, and an elegant Tuscan décor that feels both welcoming and exclusive. Whether you come for lunch or dinner, the atmosphere is designed to offer a serene escape from the bustle of the monumental city outside.

Cuisine Rooted in Tradition, Reimagined with Care

The kitchen works with a trio of core ingredients – truffle, cheese, and game – transforming them into dishes that are both deeply rooted in Italian tradition and executed with modern precision. The lunch menu is a shorter version of the evening offering, perfect for a romantic or restorative midday pause. At dinner, the full range comes alive: guests particularly note the game tasting menu and the truffle tasting menu, as well as standout dishes like filetto al tartufo and ravioli ripieni di pecorino.

The wine cellar is curated with equal rigour. Degusteria Italiana selects only Italian bottles that have earned top ratings from Wine Spectator and OperaWine, ensuring each glass complements the kitchen’s refined Italian Contemporary cooking.

Recognition That Speaks to Quality

This careful approach has earned Degusteria Italiana a Michelin Recommended distinction, a mark of its consistent quality in a city full of culinary competition. It is, as one guest put it, “a little jewel in the heart of Florence” – a place where the food, the service, and the setting come together in perfect harmony.
