Individual ratings for Olio & Convivium

Location
In the historic "Palazzo Capponi" in the heart of the Oltrarno quarter, and just a short walk from the bridge "Ponte Santa Trinita."
Ambience
You will sit surrounded by wine shelves, well-stocked refrigerators with cheese and a wonderful display of bread. The Olio e Convivium is an elegant delicatessen that includes a wine shop, an olive oil shop, and a few tables.
Infrastructure
Meals are served in three small rooms: "Stanza dei vini," "Olioteca" and "Sala cucina." Olio e Convivium also hosts cooking classes and olive oil tastings.
Culinary
The products take centre stage here, representing delicacies from small-time producers. The selection of hams, olive oils, and cheese is divine! Be sure to try: "Prosciutto di cinta senese" and the smooth "Burrata" cream cheese!
Wine List
Well appointed wine shop, stocking 230 vintages, the focus being on regional grapes. It is always a good idea to simply browse the shelves and pick a bottle that catches your eye.
Service
Friendly, solicitous, and competent.

Olio & Convivium Restaurant, Firenze

A well hidden gem: What at first glance looks like a high-end delicatessen turns out to be a small restaurant with ten tables. Riccardo Barthel, a Florence-based interior designer, created a cosy ambience in the historic "Palazzo Capponi" that includes antique furniture, floor-to-ceiling wine shelves, antique wall tiles, and a deli display. The Olio e Convivium very much lives up to its name, as the place is all about well-mannered socialising. A small room, the "Olioteca," is entirely dedicated to olive oil. If noisy trattorias are not your thing, you will be perfectly content here. It is just the place for a light lunch, a small snack, or a plate of fresh pasta after a stroll through the city. Closed on: Sunday and Monday nights
Price range €
Always great value for money! We just love the cosy atmosphere here and the fresh market cuisine with its no-nonsense dishes.
Just popping in is rarely a good idea. It definitely makes sense to reserve a table in the small place.
