Michelin 1 star restaurant. Housed inside a hotel by the river. Good service and food are quite good. bread are good and cooking is innovative. Recommended
The staff were very friendly, there was one dish that we were a bit disappointed, and the staff bought a brand new dish for us. The atmosphere was excellent, Christmassy cozy vibe.
Poor experience for a Michelin starred restaurant. My husband and I were on a holiday to have an enjoyable time, but we left the restaurant with full of anger and disappointment without even getting to eat the mains of our €165 per pax course meal. This is the 1st time we have had such a bad experience with a Michelin starred restaurant as we have waited until 10pm (mind you, we arrived at 7.20pm) for our mains, i.e. pigeon, to arrive whilst other tables around us, which arrived an hour later than us, got their pigeons served. We’ve reminded them more than twice to speed up, but excuses after excuses were given such as “Kitchen was having problems”and “Pigeons needed to rest for 20 mins before serving”. With the excuses given, you see waiters passing by us serving pigeons to the other tables. All we expected was an honest answer after that long wait.
The ambience was the only thing commendable as the restaurant overlooks the river with a romantic table setting. Not sure if it’s worth paying for the service and food that you get though.

Probably the best dining experience that I've ever had in Italy. The food was flawless, the service was impeccable and the entire experience was really impressive.
Best meal I had in Italy! It was very expensive but well worth it, the food was absolutely excellent! And the head Sommelier, Salvatore, crafted amazing pairings with the food and some of those wines are now our all time favorites. Recommend sitting outside to enjoy the view. I had the summer tasting menu and my wife had the vegetarian tasting menu, both were fantastic.
My wife and I had an incredible dinner at Borgo San Jacopo, and it was easily the best dining experience we had on our trip to Florence. The food and service were exceptional, and the staff made us feel very welcome and catered to. We would highly recommend and certainly return if a trip back to Florence is in the stars!
What a fantastic dinner we had last night at Ristorante Borgo San Jacopo. Tasting menu was fantastic for everyone including the vegetarian. Wonderful and generous wine pairings, a beautiful ambience, gorgeous glassware from Riedel. Standout dishes, the artichoke, the tagliolini Al tartufo, the fusilli with crab, the porchetta. All delicious! But then everything was so good, not 1 boring dish. The biggest thing however was the fantastic service, everyone was so lovely and so personal. In particular for me the fantastic Salvatore who indulged my obsession with wine. If you are an oenophile please go see him for a charming and engaging experience with their wonderful ever changing wine selection as they are all limited production special Italian finds. A huge thank you to the Ristorante Borgo San Jacopo team for a very special night. We all had a wonderful evening.
Outstanding service and delicious food. We had the winter tasting menu with wine pairing. The wine pairing was the absolute star of the show - the sommelier could see our keen interest in wine and his efforts were greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend doing the wine pairing with your tasting menu
Views of the ponte vecchio from the restaurant can also be stunning if seated at the right table.
