Take dog fpr a walk and pop in to see if there is a table for tw and dog. Full but the always welcoming owner suggests we come back 20 minutes later and he will arrange for us. This is year after year a small but very friendly place and with a fantastic cuisine, mixing Italian traditions with a bit other influences. And again we are treated with delicious starters a very tasty fish. Owner always selects very appropriate wines by the glass if you ask advice. Desderio is truly a gem

Not the cheapest place but we thought it was good value for the quality of the ingredients.

We ordered the mushroom spaghetti and the duck ravioli, and our waiter recommended two wine pairings. The food was incredible our best meal in Florence handmade, truly fresh, and delicious. We hope to be back!
