Individual ratings for La Bottega del Buon Caffè

Location
Close to the city gate San Niccolò in the trendy Oltrano quarter on the left bank of the Arno.
Ambience
An accomplished blend of styles from Tuscany, Provence and the South of England. The small restaurant overlooks the kitchen, giving you a chance to watch Antonello Sardi fix the plates.
Infrastructure
Elegant dining room with large window overlooking the kitchen, wine bar, small lounge, and covered boulevard terrace out front.
Culinary
Modern Tuscan cuisine that celebrates the actual product. Vegetables, lettuces, herbs, and fruit come from the proprietary farm. Highly respectful of nature, Antonello Sardi uses regional produce to create sophisticated dishes such as crème brûlée made with foie gras and served with red Certaldo onion ice cream. Be sure to try his interpretation of the classic dessert Tiramisù. Awarded one Michelin star.
Wine List
Interesting menu with a wine selection not limited to Tuscan vintages.
Service
Competent, decidedly attentive and friendly.

La Bottega del Buon Caffè Restaurant, Firenze

The restaurant of Jeannette and Claus Thottrup in Florence is every bit as elegant as their Hotel Borgo Santo Pietro just outside Chiusdino. With her sure sense of style, Jeanette Thottrup (a Danish fashion designer) turned the gourmet restaurant into an elegant gem. Inside, you sit in comfortable arm chairs upholstered in grey linen at elegantly decked wooden tables, with large crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling and a sea of candles lending a romantic ambience to the room. The no-frills cuisine is creative and straight-forward. It uses exclusively regional products. The perfect place for foodies and couples. Closed on: Sunday nights and Mondays
Price range €€
The oeuvres of Antonello Sardi will charm not just your palate but your eyes as well with the refreshing way they are served on beautiful china – clearly a multi-sensory experience.
The tables are set slightly too close to each other.
