Florence Restaurant

Does anyone know the name of the restaurant that is on top of a hill and very well known for amazing food and views?

Maybe you are thinking of Pinchiorri (sp?)? It is on a hill near the Piazzale Michelangelo. There is also one in Fiesole that I can't recall right now, but it also has wonderful food and views. Good Luck.

I Polpa located on Piazza Mino in Fiesole has enjoyed very good reviews.

Hi lw,

The Bar Blue has a terrac with excellent views of Florence.

The hotel Aurora next door has a very pretty garden restaurant, but the views are not as good.

We had dinner at I Polpa. I can't recommend it. Also, it doesn't have views.

Hello Ira, I haven't eaten at I Polpa since 1999, and it was excellent at that time.

I would like to hear about your experience there, and if it was later than 1999.

We were planning on eating at I Polpa on our next trip to Florence...maybe we'll try Carpe Diem on our way up to Fiesole.
