I would have eaten here again during our short stay if I could have.

Amuse bouche consisting of lean was cold and clearly not prepared immediately. I ordered the 65 degree egg starter. It consisted of a huge bowl of gloopy slimy foam, lumps of too large red onion and egg. It was not appetising at all, I couldn’t eat it. The accompanying bread and side dish were tasty. I had risotto as a a main course. Again a huge portion, far too much butter was used in the cooking process and was the dominant flavour. I really did not like it and could not eat it. It was horrible. This was an expensive mistake. Are they riding on the wave of Stanley Tucci’s recommendation? I did not realise he had recommended this restaurant until I searched reviews after I left the restaurant. I really am disappointed in the Michelin guide for this recommendation, it is undeserved. I had several delicious meals in Florence at restaurants such as Cucina, Cuculia and Il Santo Benitore which were authentic casual fine dining venues. Apart from the kind and friendly staff, I would not recommend this restaurant at all.

This was literally some of the best food I have ever eaten. Creative, innovative, fresh menu. Outstanding service! read more This was literally some of the best food I have ever eaten. Creative, innovative, fresh menu. Outstanding service!

The ambience, the service the food were all top notch. We chose to order a La carte since we wanted to try different dishes which wasn’t possible in the tasting menu( both of us would have to eat the same dishes) therefore landed up ordering too much food, some of which despite our best efforts we had to waste

We loved everything about Nugolo. The restaurant has been designed stylishly but feels comfortable.

Despite being really busy, we could hear each other easily, which is not always the case in restaurants. The food was fresh and delicious. The staff were professional, friendly and knowledgeable.
