Kristina from Florence

About me I am an international cocktail that loves good cocktails :) I majored in work psychology to then become a community manager... life sometimes brings you where you should be. There, I found out my love for this city, food and helping the community live at its best, specializing meanwhile in marketing and branding.

La Leggenda dei Frati Florence

One star Michelin

""La Leggenda dei Frati": one of Florence's Michelin star restaurants - I can vouch for it! Protip: Come early and the chef will show you around the villa!"

So you want a Michelin star experience in Florence? Well, you have a nice choice because there are a good amount of them in the city. Let's talk about the youngest restaurant that got its star in 2016.Filippo Saporito, the chef, has brought this restaurant in a very short time to have a star and put all his creativity and love for his cuisine to create a new reality.

If you want to have a cool experience you can choose from two different tasting menus, one for 80€ or one for 110€ for whoever really wants to see how much they can pack in, without wine of course. If you have a special occasion coming up, make sure to let the staff know: they will love to help organize even a private dinner for you or a special menu. For the summer there is a terrace, but it is really cozy in the winter!

The tasting menu is amazing: I enjoyed every dish, and the handmade bread is amazing, they put passion and effort into every detail. After dessert, Filippo will personally bring you for a small tour around the villa, so don't go for dinner too late. I also got to bring a box of sweets home with me. Nothing is better then spoiling a woman with sugar and a sweet smile. I felt at home. No proposal, but it would be a perfect place!

Banki Ramen

Italian ramen bar

Everybody knows "Banki Ramen" in Florence. This Japanese/Italian restaurant seems really cheap, as if stuck in the '80s, but the food wins everyone over!
