Disappointing. We have been to Florence twice previously, and dined at Il Caminetto each time, where it became our favorite restaurant in the city. While visiting Florence for the third time, we decided to go to Il Caminetto again on Thanksgiving to celebrate our holiday. In hindsight, big mistake. We made reservations and upon entering the restaurant, were surprised to find that 90% of the restaurant was being utilized for a private wine tasting event. Unfortunately there is not a private room, but rather every table in the small restaurant, except for our party of five and a party of two, were essentially right on top of the private event. There was a photographer “flashing” photos like a constant strobe light on our dinner. In addition, there were ongoing speeches and presentations during the entire dinner, forcing us to speak in a whisper so as not to disturb the wine tasting. If we got a bit loud, we received glares from the attendees. It was beyond uncomfortable and awkward. We should have been informed of this event while making the reservation and we would have gone elsewhere to allow for an enjoyable dinner. This event was clearly the focus of the staff, as the service was well below attentive, bordering on dismissive. The food, which was previously excellent, was also below expectations. The steak was cooked well below our requests, and the beef tartare was sinewy and truly inedible. Will not return. Our Thanksgiving dinner was ruined. The experience would have been better if someone had informed us in advance of a massive private event, or at least acknowledged or apologized for us feeling like we were intruding on someone else’s private event.

It’s the best delicious Italian food in Florence!) thank for all!) you are the god’a of food!)

The service was incredible. Everything came out perfectly timed and so delicious.
