Description: Don’t let the black leather placemats or extravagant presentation of the food intimidate you, though reservations are a must for the best of Florence’s "new Italian" cuisine. Beccofino Restaurant and Wine Bar offers a welcomed break from the usual pappa al pomodoro and
vino della casa while the wall sculptures and clean interior design are a sigh of relief after countless red checked tablecloths and brick vaulted ceilings.
Beccofino is fresh seafood, elegant wines and a sophisticated atmosphere.
Finely sliced shrimp swirled over a tomato and pesto sauce, a tower of octopus and cuttlefish rising above seasoned olive oil or ravioli stuffed with codfish are some of the tempting first courses. For a second, try the filet mignon grilled with orange grinds or the sea bass with potato, onion and zucchini mash.
The list of Beccofino wines does more than compliment your meal. Over fifty blends (luckily you can order by the glass) are served with the utmost gusto and can be enjoyed more exclusively along with lighter dishes and appetizers at the wine bar.
New music compositions, including jazz and some house, including some of the best CD collections from restaurants and hotels around Europe, add yet another flavor to an unforgettable night.
Note to traditionalists:
If traditional Tuscan fare or hearty portions is what you’re after, try La Giostra on Borgo Pinti.
