MARINA DI SANTOSPIRITO 26
A former carpentry workshop in Santo Spirito is now an original fish restaurant, where chef Marina delights diners not only with her exquisite dishes of the freshest fish, from the classic to the unusual, but also with her live music, taking the stage with her guitar at the end of the evening.

ORA D’ARIA
The restaurant of chef Marco Stabile, the cornerstone of Florentine cuisine. Eggs and traditional recipes take centre stage in some of his timeless dishes, like Egg en meurette or Étouffée of roast pigeon with honey and puntarelle. The atmosphere is intimate and refined, and if you want to see the chef at work, book a table upstairs, where the open kitchen is.
