Here you will experience marvelous food offered in an ancient barrel-vaulted chapel while surrounded by lovely, crumbling frescoesāwhat more could you ask for, right in the heart of the oldest part of glorious Florence? The city has over 2100 restaurants, including some of the best in the worldāand of course plenty of horrible tourist traps. Brandolino belongs to the former class, and is quickly earning a reputation as the best of the best. Besi and Mario have truly created a masterpiece here.
Firstāthe location. Tucked into a little piazza just a three minute walk from Santa Maria Novella church and the train station, four minutes from the Duomo, and right across from the San Lorenzo church and Medici Chapel (where members of the most famous family of the Renaissance are buried) you couldnāt get a more convenient central position in the city.
Brandolino is intimate but not claustrophobic, occupying a long narrow chapel nave in one of the oldest medieval blocks in Florence. People are drawn in from the street just by the romantic look of the long high-ceilinged chapel, which is not evident or expected from the exterior, and is unusual even for this beautiful city. The interior design is gorgeous, simple, and unpretentious. Actual Aldobrandini family crests from the Renaissance hang on the walls. The frescoes have been examined by an art historian and go back perhaps to the 13th century; as they have faded into a pastel obscurity they lend an effect simultaneously ancient and modern, mysterious and abstract, calling to you from past ages. It is like time travel. You canāt help but wonder who has been there in the centuries before you...as I said, it really is magical.
The service is very friendly and attentive without being invasive. Besi will give suggestions for what his best daily offerings are. He will complement this with details about how the food is procured and prepared, and also great stories, including the wild history of the ancient Aldobrandini family chapel, which was walled up by papal interdict for five centuries after something horrible happened here. Itās a story only Besi should tell you, so Iāll stop. But it will certainly make for a memorable meal, and one exemplifying all the disturbing intrigue of the Italian Renaissance! Equally amazing is the story of how the new Brandolino came to be under Besiās leadershipābut thatās also his tale to tell. His passion about food (and everything else, including his family) is infectious.
The food is of course why youāll want to visit more than once. It is classic Tuscan fare, with the best beef Iāve ever had, wonderful pastas and antipasti, and a solid wine list. My favorites include the filet de manzo and the cacio e pepe. My all-time favorite Tuscan dish is pappardelle cinghiale (large pasta with wild boar sauce) and Brandolinoās is the best Iāve tasted in Florence. My wife loves the beef as well and weāre not big meat eaters. The filet with truffles is extremely popular but Iāve not had it since I donāt like mushrooms. The burgers are huge and delicious. The chicken rollsāwrapped in prosciutto and presented in a delicious beer sauce are just phenomenalāsimilar to Roman saltimbocca but much tastier in my opinion. The desserts are small and exquisite, especially the tiramisu and fruit cheesecake. Every plate is presented artfully and with great pride.
Iāve been to dozens and dozens of restaurants in Florence. Iām a professor of Renaissance cultural history based in Los Angeles and I live in Florence in the summer with my family and students, and Iāve visited several times a year in Fall and Spring over the last decade. This adds up to hundreds of meals in restaurants of all kinds in the cityāeverything from street food and the Mercado Centrale to the finest places in town. Iāve spent extensive time in Rome and Venice and other European cities and I can say that Brandolinoās is simply the best overall restaurant experience Iāve had here. Iāve never written a review until now. I just wish theyād open a branch in LA!
In the last six weeks my students have requested dinner at Brandolinoās repeatedlyāI think weāve eaten there about half a dozen times already. Theyāve only been open about two months and are already ranked #1 on Tripadvisor...and with good reason. On top of everything elseāit isnāt expensive. A very good dinner will run 20-30EU. You can have a great lunch for half that. You can easily spend more on a terrible meal in one of the tourist traps. Go to Brandolino and tell them Dr Grant sent you!
A visit to glorious Florence without a meal at Brandolino would be a serious mistake. It fits right in with the Ponte Vecchio, the Uffizi, the Palazzo Vecchio, the Brancacci Chapel, and the David. Everything about it is beautiful.
