Boccadarno
Boccadarno is one of Florence's best addresses for fresh seafood (which Florence needs more of!), an unpretentious osteria run by Gerardo Ferrigno that brings the flavors of the sea deep into a landlocked city - and does it with both skill and warmth.
The menu changes with the catch and the season, but expect beautifully executed dishes like squid-ink rice with cuttlefish and burrata, fried salt cod with wilted leeks and pistachio, and sea bream baked in parchment with taggiasca olives, cherry tomatoes, and thyme. Starters lean into raw preparations and shellfish, while the pasta and secondi show a kitchen that knows how to balance tradition with a creative touch.
The evening begins with one of Florence's more pleasurable aperitivo spreads - cocktails, a carefully chosen wine list, and seafood bites that make it easy to linger. Open every day from 4:00 PM, Boccadarno is equally suited to a pre-dinner drink or a full sit-down dinner. Reservations recommended.
