Hi This forum is a bit more confusing than I thought, so this has probably been asked a thousand times but I still hope that you would like to help me. I’m looking for a nice restaurant in Florence. It has to be romantic and not too expensive, which means that a diner for 2 shouldn’t cost more than 60-70 Euros. La Pentola dell'Oro looks great, but if you’ll eat downstairs, it seems very expensive. Upstairs seems a bit to hectic, and the romantic may be missing? Any good suggestions? Staying from this Saturday to Thursday. The hotel is near the centre.
The evening has to be something special, I really hope that someone can help me.
Well, my favorite restaurant in Florence is Trattoria Bordino, along Via Stracciatella. It's near Ponte Vecchio. Below is a description of the place from their website www.trattoriabordino.com:
Located in a small and ancient street in the very heart of Florence, protected by the famous Vasariano corridor which links Palazzo Vecchio together with Palazzo Pitti, going through Ponte Vecchio, the restaurant trattoria Bordino is a small pearl where you can taste the typical receipes of the Tuscan cuisine. Particularly renowned for its Florentine steak cooked on the barbecue, the restaurant has a wide menu which changes everyday according to the natural rythm of nature. A small, romantic,suggestive restaurant trattoria where having your unforgettable candle light dinner in the historical center of Florence, Italy. A small restaurant which has become one the most appreciated restaurants through the years.
Hope this helps! If you're going, don't forget to order the Florentine Steak! It's the best!!!!
Good luck with your special and romantic dinner. Enjoy Bordino!
