We were a bit disappointed with our recent meat at Senz'Altro, with such a high rating on TA we were expecting something special. It's often the little things that make the difference, we were pleased to be seated quickly and our water order taken, however when the menus arrived they were tired and scruffy. They also appeared to be missing a page and did not match the range from link on this site, a bit strange, perhaps simplified to increase production?The waiting staff explained the changes to the menu, there were a lot, in these days of technology is it not easy to print a revised menu. This then allows to use the best of the seasons produce?Our wine arrived and was tasted, all good, but the server rushed to pour it and we ended up with different amounts, OK for some!The good news is I enjoyed my starter of artichoke and prawns, the prawns were particularly good and juicy, I ordered the Veal replacement for the beef skirt, I had checked with the waiting staff as I was a little unsure if the beef had been replaced and got two different answers! The Beef/ Veal arrived, looked and tasted like Beef skirt and was tasty. The slight issue was they use the large grains of sea salt, resulting in occasional crunchy overdoses of salt, not very pleasant. The Beef was well flavoured and as expected a little tough. I forgot to mention, our waitress was very efficient at topping up our wine glasses, jus a little too efficient and by the end of our starters the bottle was empty, we were asked if we wanted another bottle, was this an upselling technique?The pheasant main courses had been replaced with partridge, this was a little dry and the legs quite tough. I had a small taste and was rewarded with a mouthful of gristle, I guess it could have been better trimmed.Some of the guests at out table had desserts, ice cream is not my favourite, even if it is home made.Some good news, the recent credit card machine issues appear to be resolved, it did make me wonder has this business recently changed hands?We were discussing the meal on the way home, we were all disappointed, just not what we were expecting. I should add I have worked in this industry for over 40 years, so have some experience.

It's been a while since I posted, very busy with my new born Iker Santiago.The restaurant is... how can I put it in simple words..... Fantastico!!! the service was top notch michel was very helpful with the wine, explaining the region, the name of the grape and the family tradition that comes from this great chianti classico riserva.The main course was bistecca alla fiorentina a traditional steak from Florence. The portion was more that I can ask for, very well cooked ( I like it medium well) with a side of roasted potatoes and some radicchio, my compliments to the chef, it was marvelous.Now the dulce ( postre, dessert, sobremesa), I'm not usually a fan of this part of the food but I got to tell you, the desserts here are amazing.... I'm not a chocolate fan but Michel recommended me the cioccolato gelato mousse..... it was once again... fantastico.Totally recomended, you wont be disappointed.

This is a truly wonderful restaurant that is worth a visit if you are in Florence. As previously said, it is out of the way but once you arrive the interior is welcoming as are the staff. The menu is diverse however, I wanted to try the zucchini flowers and they were sensational (I ordered a double serve for my meal). The house made bread is also sensational. The wine list would please the tastes of many and the service is impeccable. I cannot praise this contemporary and enjoyable restaurant enough. What a pleasure to have dined there tonight.

Absolutely delicious lunch with colleagues. Carpaccio with truffles one of best things have ever eaten. Truly memorable. Excellent crostini, fairly priced local wine, nice people and super efficient service.
