[QUOTE=offerendum;31296824]For Pizza I like Il Pizzaiuolo



There is often a line but as far as I saw not of Americans Seems to be very popular by locals.

Wife and I will visit Florence in March and would like current recommendations for a really superb gourmet experience.
Would prefer something "regional cuisine". We are not vegans and for this dinner price may not be an object.
Thanks for the help

Gourmet and "regional" are sometimes hard to combine. Why? A lot of the "gourmet" restaurants are modern/creative which may use regional cuisine as a starting point. In our town in Tuscany, we have a classic trattoria across the street from us (run by a husband & wife - we even helped them build a website) with a very high level of cuisine but I wouldn't call it gourmet - it is great regional cuisine. 8 miles away there is another restaurant I would call gourmet, it's run by a brother & sister and he is a classically trained chef. They serve very creative food that is local in ingredients and inspired by local dishes but the locals would not call it regional cuisine (nor would I). I happily eat at both.

So my question would be would you lean more gourmet or more classic/regional?

Michelin is a great resource.

I ate 2021 at Gucci Osteria (1 star - good and quite fancy) as well as Enoteca Pinchiorri (very nice 3 star). If you want something really special take Enoteca. Where do you stay?

Hotel has not been finalized. Any personal suggestions [ I know there is a hotel forum]

For this trip I think we'd like to try classic/regional. "High level cuisine" sounds perfect -- Michelin star not required

Del Fagioli - bistecca alla fiorentina
Osteria Cinghiale Bianco, if you are looking wild boar
Trattoria Cammillo

are all places that have been reliably good in my experience.

Del Fagioli is one of my favorites. I never got bistecca there, though. Maybe next time.

Two specifically for bistecca alla fiorentina that I really like are osteria dell'enoteca and trattoria mario. Not to be confused with buca mario, which is kind of a tourist trap, except that it's actually good - its just overpriced and really busy.
For traditional/classics - trattoria sergio gozzi. Go early or you're not eating there that day. Open only for lunch. La casalinga is also great if you prefer to be in oltrarno, and is also open for dinner, but I'd still call/email for a reservation the day before or the morning of - you can walk in, but you'll often wait.

Atelier de' Nerli

Il Barretto, Via del Parione, 50, 50123 Firenze FI, Italy was excellent . Small, intimate restaurant with a very gracious on site owner and excellent food.

We quite like Le Mossacce in the via del Proconsolo.
