Ristorante Borgo San Jacopo in Florence

We already came here in 2018 and we havent remembered how good was this restaurant. All the ingredients are reunited to have a wonderful moment. The place is unique, with a superb view on Ponte Vecchio and Arno River. The personnel is super kind and professional. The cuisine is extremely well done. No matter what you order, it can be vegetables, fish, meat or pasta, everything is very tasty.

Lovely restaurant.. nice ambiance, enjoyed food , wine .Lovely and kind staff…must visit in Florence

N’ayant pas d’expérience dans des restaurants étoilés je n’ai pas vraiment d’éléments de comparaisonLe cadre est vraiment magique avec la vue sur le Ponto VechioLa nourriture et le vin sont incroyables, aussi jolis que bons, tout autant que le service.Nous nous arrêterons peut être dans l’hôtel lors de notre prochaine visite :)

Best restaurant ever!! Great staff and food! We ordered the tasting menu which was more than amazing. We also had mojitos and was the best mojito I had so far. I would love to travel to Florence just to eat here.

Everything about this restaurant was excellent. It is a nice place with tasteful decoration and a pleasant atmosphere. The staff is more than kind and is always there to respond to any request. We made the reservation and were pleased to know there was no dress code, so we could wear our comfy shoes and shorts in this hot weather. The food was delicious from beginning to end, and the 4 step experience included several extra surprises which we loved. I appreciated a lot the fact that the chef had prepared a pescatarian 4 course menu as well as a vegetarian one. Overall a perfect experience. Very much deserving of more than one Michelin star.

Esperienza di alto livello. Sono stato a cena con mia moglie. Tutto assolutamente al top. Cucina ottima con materie prime pregiate e servizio impeccabile. Grande accoglienza. Consigliatissimo

Posto meraviglioso e personale incredibilmente gentile. Accolti da Diego che, con grandissima professionalità, ci ha saputo guidare e " coccolare" tutte la serata. Menu cocktails vario in grado di soddisfare tutte le esigenze. Aperitivo composto da delle " chicche" originali, ottime, di qualità e esteticamente di impatto preparato dallo chef Claudio. Un posto raffinato, unico e romantico che consiglio vivamente di provare. Ilenia

Il ristorante ha una location a dir poco unica, con vista Arno, forse una delle migliori in città. A livello di piatti ho optato per il risotto pecorino, cicoria zafferano e chianina. Ammetto che mi aspettavo qualcosa in più. Il gusto nel complesso è buono ma senza guizzi. Arrivando in fondo lho trovato monotono e finito a forza. Ho provato anche i tortelli di coda di bue, bietola, pera e fonduta di castelmagno. Sicuramente è stato il piatto più interessante, con un ripieno estremamente saporito. La pecca principale, è non trascurabile, è stata la sapidità. Non avesse questi difetto sarebbe stato un piatto decisamente valido. Peccato.Esperienza discreta ma..Video recensione sul canale gli spoon su youtube

Esperienza fantastica, nessun piatto al di sotto di quanto ci si aspettava. Cordialità e professionalità da parte del personale di sala, senza però essere invadente, ci hanno accompagnato durante tutta la cena. E poi parole sante condivise pienamente, non è vero che dai ristoranti stellati si esce con la fame. Tantissimi complimenti a tutti ma soprattutto allo Chef, giovanissimo, ma spettacolare.

Reservation needed.Excellent food and service.

Ho cenato alla carta e non sono rimasto del tutto soddisfatto. Lambiente è elegante, come si addice ad un locale di questo livello, con una bella vista sul fiume. Il vero neo è il servizio, a tratti sbrigativo o poco attento. Lacqua e il vino vengono versati troppo di frequente, interrompendo il pasto. Amuse-bouche e menu portati sul tavolo assieme, cosa che risulta fastidiosa e non permette di godere dellassaggio. Latteggiamento è spesso svogliato, lasciando trasparire quasi un senso di insofferenza verso il cliente. La cucina compensa le mancanze del servizio ma con qualche pecca. Tra i piatti, ottimo luovo con patate nocciola ed il risotto, molto ben bilanciato. La crema di cipollotti però è decisamente sotto il livello: trascurando il cameriere che confonde cozze con vongole, la crema è monotona, "piatta", e in quantità eccessiva rispetto al resto, ed in ogni caso labbinamento non convince. I tortelli sono piacevoli, giocando con il contrasto tra lumami del fondo, la freschezza della pera e il leggero piccante del castelmagno, anche se il fondo quando rimane alla fine è troppo sapido. La battuta di fassona è ottima, ma è la materia prima a fare da padrona, quasi non trasformata, e sorprende un po trovarla in carta. Il babà è perfettamente lievitato ma non cè nulla nel piatto che ne contrasti leccessiva dolcezza: non certo il gelato alla lavanda o la composta. Va meglio nella bavarese, che gioca con il sale. Tutto il pasto risulta alla fine un po pesante. Credo che il locale sconti il fatto di trovarsi in una città così nota nel mondo. La cantina è di alto se non altissimo livello, ma non basta, la stella ha bisogno di maggiori attenzioni.

Cenato in questo ristorante per festeggiare il compleanno di mia moglie.L’accoglienza è degna di un ristorante stellato, ci hanno accompagnato al tavolo posto al primo piano accanto alla vetrata con vista sul fiume. Bella location con luci soffuse. Personale attento, competente e soprattutto non invadente.Abbiamo preso 2 menu degustazione. In ogni piatto si sente la grande qualità delle materie prime e ovviamente la mano e la creatività dello chef, piatti elaborati ma con grande equilibrio nei sapori. Su tutti, secondo me, spiccano i tortelli ripieni di coda di bue e il dolce “amorellino”, credo il migliore che io ricordi, ritornerei solo per quello! L’unica cosa è che le porzioni, in alcuni piatti sono un po’ scarse (magari qualche tortello in piùanche rispetto a altri ristoranti stellati.

One of my favorite restaurants in Florence. Just had another great meal here.

Bellissima esperienza culinaria.Io e il mio fidanzato ci siamo stati per festeggiare la nostra ricorrenza e devo dire che ci hanno trattati veramente bene. Personale attento, disponibile e preparato. Location a dir poco mozzafiato (unica pecca è che in inverno non ci si può sedere in terrazzìno). Cibo ottimo e lo chef simpatico. Grazie ancora per la sorpresa che ci avete fatto ❤️

Muy buen restaurant! Probamos el menú de degustación, muy rico, personal muy amable. Después de la cena es posible ir a la terraza del hotel donde están ubicados que tiene una vista hermosa al Puente Vechio.

A true culinary experience. First off, it is immediately apparent the food is made from fresh and deliciously prepared ingredients, combining a variety of styles from throughout the Mediterranean while still having a core of Tuscan cuisine. Equally amazing was the kind and knowledgeable waitstaff: whether the history of a wines vineyard and grape variety, or the perfect pairing, they were available and experts in the available offerings, which were delicious and plentiful, without being overwhelming. I cannot recommend enough the tastings menus with accompanied wines, as a perfect meal size with a variety of dishes.

Incredible place for Florentine steak. Superb wine as well.

The seasonal tasting menu (Summer’s in the Airwas delectable - very balanced dishes, great plating, and the right amount of food. Outdoor seating is the way to go, so make reservations early! Shout-out to the wait staff and the sommelier Salvatore Biscotti.

Delicious food!

We enjoy the restaurant and the menu was ok. We are very thankful to our sommelier, who give us a very good choice of red wine.The services was very goodWhat we didnt like very much was that if you order a full menu it cant be shared with nobody. We have been in others Michelin stars restaurants and never get this situation

Ci siamo proprio divertiti. L’astice buonissimo. Anche il babà degno di nota.

Il miglior ristorante che io abbia mai frequentato. Cucina di altissimo livello dosata ed equilibrata nell accostamento di sapori diversi ed armonici. Presentazione dei piatti straordinaria.Staff eccellente, professionale ed impeccabile ma allo stesso tempo sorridente e cordiale. Il servizio è di alto livello.Location incantevole al centro di Firenze.Per una serata magica, per una cena di lavoro importante, se si vuole stupire qui si va a colpo sicuro.Il prezzo è proporzionato a tutto ciò che offrono.Anche lo chef è cordiale, conviviale e molto simpatico. Per me TOP. 10 E LODE. COMPLIMENTI VERAMENTE...

This place is amazing! We went there to celebrate my birthday and I couldnt have been happier! From the moment you walk in to the moment you leave you feel the love and passion that goes into each detail. We had the Autumn tasting menu with corresponding wines. Each dish was a treat! They look and taste the part. The wine pairings were on point and really completed the dishes. The waitress who was helping was GREAT! Shes funny and witty and speaks 4 languages :-Absolutely fabulous!

The service was uneven, with odd pauses between dishes, some taking a lot longer than expected, and little attention paid to drinks. The food was good but not as creative as expected of a Michelin Star restaurant (especially compared to others in the area - would recommend La Leggenda dei Frati for a cheaper, better experience). The atmosphere was lovely, and they were kind enough to let us sit in the terrace which has absolutely gorgeous views of the Ponte Vecchio, but overall did not make up for the lack in other areas or the price tag.

미리 (한참전에예액하면 아르노강이 흐르는 테라스에서 식사할 수 있다. 가격은 리즈너즐한 편이나 이날 내 컨디션이 좋지 않았던 탓인지 기억에 남을만한 디쉬는 없었다

Great food and staff!

- Great food, but everything we ordered was too creamy.- Sommelier helped me to find a bottle of primitivo even though they are very proud of their Tuscan wine. Definitely very happy about it because I love zin!- You need to take a look at the paintings they have in the hall. You will be surprised by the painters.- Staff were busy and can’t really have a conversation with you.Overall, price on the higher end for a Michelin 1 star, but worth it.

Situat en un dels punts mes privilegiats de Firenze, el Borgo San Jacopo ofereix una carta amb propostes classiques i amb un toc evolucionat.Varem decidir provar el menú degustació i acompanyar-lo dun vi de la zona, un Chianti Classic, recomanat per lencantador sumiller, dentre la gran oferta de vins de la carta del restaurant.El menu degustacio, tot i no ser sorprenent en les propostes, estava excellentment cuinat i presentat. Destacaria el plat de carn (maialinoi un risotto amb garotes que, tot i un petit excés de mantega, combinava fantàsticament sabors molt diversos.El compte final és força elevat. En fer la reserva varem solicitar una taula a la terrassa i varem poder disfrutar duna de les millors vistes sobre el riu i els ponte Vecchio i ponte Santa Trinità, just quan queia el sol: un moment màgic. Si no fos per això, i per un servei atent i amable, consideraria el preu molt per sobre del producte rebut.Una bona experiència, en definitiva, sense arribar a ser totalment memorable.

Great food, great experience. Had a table on the balcony.

Very good service and environment. It is pricey but that is to be expected for Michelin one star standard food. We had a good experience, love the presentation and the taste. However, some didnt quite suit our palate but that was just a personal preference.

Great Michelin food.

Great fine dining experience. The staff was very attentive and also helpful to select the right dishes and pair wines. We felt welcome and the atmosphere was warm.The food was excellently prepared and prseneted. Portions were also satisfying. Several experimental dishes from the kitchen in between our courses was fun and exciting.

Food is excellent. Staff are friendly. Highly recommended!

Our 3th visit. And again as perfect as ever! Thank you chef and the Borgo San Jacopo team. Its always a pleasure to come to Florence this way.

Everything in the restaurant was amazing, from the food to the staff. The place is super cozy. It is a bit expensive but the prices are in accordance with the service and food you get.

Had a pleasant evening full of different flavours and tastes. Thanks for the special touch of wishing my boyfriend "Happy Birthday" :)

For a Michelin starred restaurant the service was good but not impeccable. At time it felt a bit confused and sloppy. As for the food... it was nicely presented, orginal, but unfortunately the flavors (the most importantwere not consitant. Only 2 of the 7 dishes were decent. Overall I did not have a good dinner experience there and I do not think this restaurant deserves its Michelin star. It is a pricey restaurant, count 200 euros per person for a tasting menu with 2 glasses of wine. The views of Ponte vecchio are amazing though!

Went here based on reviews online and for their Michellin star. Wasnt impressed with the food. I would prefer to go to a place where the locals go. This wasnt it and pricey.

Paraphrasing Shirley Bassey I could start with "where do I begin, to tell the story of how great a meal can be?", because its not easy to write about the extraordinary experience that we have had at Borgo San Jacopo.Lets start with the food, we tried the Experience and the My Tuscan tasting menus. Its really hard to tell how great these dishes were, because you really have to try these flavours and textures, presented in a way that for some of the dishes is nothing short of a form of art. (Ill add pictures so that you can judge). Peter Brunel is a painter (and a sublime chef).A mention goes to the interior, clean, contemporary, with a beautiful balcony over the Arno river and nice paintings from the Ferragamo private collection. Music is nice and not too loud, creates a very relaxed mood.Lastly, but by any means NOT secondary at all: great place and great food comes to nothing if there isnt a great team on the floor, and I cannot stress enough the marvellous job that Mrs. Claudia (restaurant manager), the Mr.Salvatore (sommelierand the waiters team did (I apologize I did not ask their names but they did a great job).We felt at home, but at the same time they were not "oppressive", they explained the dishes in a very detailed manner, making sure that we understood how to eat the food in the right order to maximise the flavours and the experience. Wines were incredibly nice, lots of interesting vintages from Tuscany but also some beautiful selections from abroad (the pink champagne was a true gem).We spent three hours in the restaurant and when we finished the meal we looked at our watches, and we were surprised that so much time passed and we did not realize it.What more can I say? Go. Try it. Be open minded to the dishes that will arrive, you are not going to "just" eat, you are going on a trip that touches many senses.

Atomsphere- elegant. Interior. River view at evening transcends like a movie scene as sitting on 2nd floor by window.Food- As foodie who appreciate crusine art from various cultures, probably the worst dining experience we been to recent years. We tried both “Experience” and “Tuscany” menu. “Experience” despite eye catching evokes not sure about memory in mouth given mixture of extremely strong taste, very salty! We could hardly have third spoons of risotto and too much sauce ruining other dishes. Piglet and prawn is only ok dish. “Tuscany” tries for a twist from local ingredients but plain.Service- Initial service was good but lack of attention to details. They took back the very salty rissoto dishes but replacing cheese caviar which was still very salty due to the sauce. We were expecting simple explaining how issues would be handled but in the end it would require our constant attention. Dining speed was very slow. Not sure what was going on withthe manager as she simply did not ask for our feedback and comment. Not how a Michelin star restaurant would acted..

Absolutely the best Michelin Restaurant I have Tried in Florence.The location Is very close ti Pontevecchio, from their little terrace you can have a dinner on the river, feeling the breeze, the lights and the colours of the City.Peter Brunel Is an Amazing chef. Thats the point. I have Tried all his creations and I was not disappointed with One of them. I am a food Photographer and I Tried plates from many Michelin Starred Chefs.. he Is my favorite.

My favorite part of this restaurant was the overall attention to service given by all employees.When you reserve, you basically get the table for the night ... without being rushed over courses youre allowed to take your time and go as fast or certainly as slow as you would like. The room is very comfortable although it is a bit stuffy downstairs and only two seats in the whole house get a good view of the river.The menu offered didnt really appeal to me all that much and if given the choice I would happily go back to other Michelin starred restaurants in Florence instead of a return visit here. Check out my list for the others!

Amazing restaurant, great menu with many incredible flavors of the toscana region. The attention is flawless and the wine selection is varied. It is small but with great views of ponte vecchio.

Essendo mia moglie una brava cuoca cerchiamo ristoranti che regalino esperienze nuove. Loccasione e stata laltra sera la laurea di mia figlia che abbiamo scelto di festeggiare al BSJ. Mi aspettavo una vista sullArno migliore (perché pubblicizzarla se non cè?ma lambiente caldo e accogliente e la bella musica hanno sopperito benissimo alla mancanza. Io e mia moglie abbiamo scelto il menù degustazione" La mia Toscana" e mia figlia dal menu a la cart ( entree offerta dal ristorante zuppa di castagne e branzinoaccostamenti innovativi e buonissimi forse un filino salati, spunti da ripetere a casa. Per niente porzioni piccole e già alla zuppa mia figlia era sazia. E veniamo alla nostra scelta: sapori forti e decisi, un acino di sale in più in tutte le portate assolutamente ottimamente presentate. Bellissime e in giusta quantità tanto da non riuscire ad assaggiare le praline che ci hanno offerto di portare via. Stupefacente il cioccolatino ripieno di spuma di suino grigio, geniali i tortelli di bottoni di cinghiale di cinta, perfetta la ribollita fritta in crosta di pane nero(cosa avrà usato per portare alla giusta consistenza la ribollita? Avrei preferito più calda la costata e assolutamente divino il dessert. Mi hanno disturbato lacino in più di sale nella pappa al pomodoro e nelle salse di accompagnamento che non mi hanno permesso appieno di "sentire" tutti i sapori diversi. Faccio naturalmente il confronto con il ristorante Faro di Capo dOrso a Minori dove siamo stati per unaltra occasione e se BSJ ha una stella M al ristorante di Minori ne avrei assolutamente assegnato due.

Beautiful room, great food, and first class service. The risotto was exquisite! Highly recommended.

The food wasnt good. It is supposed to be modern Tuscan cuisine but the result was really poor. I tried the Ortaggi "vegetables" menu and I was really disappointed. I was expecting more from a Michelin star restaurant.

Terrace view is one of best restaurant in Firenze. Good wine choice and detail of food is good things here. But somthing is little sad of courses. Great atmosphere !! Romantic!!

comes rico

We had a brilliant meal here. Well-prepared rib eye with chips and salad topped by a lovely and generous chocolate mousse. Friendly staff and nice dark atmosphere, who were comfortable seating two walk-ins with no warning on a Saturday night.

Best in The town!!!
