Cestello Ristoclub

This was a fantastic spot to celebrate our anniversary while visiting Florence. The sophisticated atmosphere and impeccable service made this a very special meal. Bedsides our delicious multi-course meal, we were greeted with a lemon/vodka/prosecco apertivo, a tasting platter, and an elegant presentation of four types of bread. Between our dishes, we were served a very light palate refresher with green chartreuse. Cestello has an extensive wine list; another table ordered the wine flight and it was lovely admiring the presentation! Both the charred sea bass and chef-special branzino were phenomenally tasty. My husband ordered gnocchi, and amberjack from the Crudite menu. Each dish delivered layers of flavors, a real distinction in a city filled with good food. The service included at least four different servers attending to our fresh flatware. Each course seamlessly blended with the best. It was a feast for the senses. For dessert, we chose the chocolate dome with banana-rum sorbet, and espresso. Finally, when my stomach felt ready to burst, our server brought out a tiered sampler with six bite-sized dolci for us to taste. The whole evening was exquisite!

The restuarant is beautiful, their food is amazing. You can tell every dish is prepared with fresh ingredients. I loved everything I ordered! I also want to praise their amazing service, every staff was well-trained and very very friendly. One of the best service I've had in Italy. The place also offers a good variety of drinks. If you are in Florence, definitely come check this place out!

Only for sophisticated souls 👌🏻 One of the best places in Florence! I’m coming here since at least 10 years every year and they maintain the quality, ambiance and service! In summer amazing terrace. Excellent sea food: I always take scampi and fish. It’s not cheap but totally worth every euro. Pet friendly.

Absolutely outstanding experience at Cestello Ristoclub! Elegant and peaceful atmosphere, beautiful music, and the food was simply perfect — every dish was a delight. The staff’s smiles were not just polite gestures, but truly heartfelt. A very special thank you to Izadora — her presence elevated the entire evening. She wasn’t just serving tables, she was creating a memorable experience with every movement. Her smile was sincere, her energy unstoppable, and her kindness felt real. She worked with the grace, precision, and determination of an F16 in full flight, yet always made us feel at home. She is the kind of person who turns a good dinner into a great memory. Thank you, Izadora — you truly made the night unforgettable. And my sincere compliments to the chef for the incredible food. I will definitely be back!

Let yourself be blown away by this hidden gem of a restaurant where TRUE passion for hospitality, food and wine pairings with cool beats in the background gives you the total package of a evening that will have you talking about this place and the experience you had for years to come!!!!!!We were told about Cestello by Paolo our Concierge at Villa Medici and will be forever grateful for the tip that had us have one of our best meals and evenings out for years. Francisco our server and Juan our Sommelier had us try the blind 5 course menu and wine pairing that from the get go had us guessing the many flavors exploding across our taste buds. It was sublime and had us enjoying every second of our dinner and wine we were blown away by. The chef and team in the kitchen had a great experimental vibe complimented with incredible ingredients and beautiful presentation that had us excited all the way thru the almost 3 hour experience. You cannot leave Firenze without at least 1 meal here!!!!!
