SETTIMO

Miglior ristorante di pesce in Italia "Tripadvisor"

Da Settimo

Recensito il 16 ottobre 2013

Durante la mia vacanza a Firenze con degli amici ho cenato al ristorante Da Settimo. Il locale è sobrio, curato ed accogliente, una piccola perla incastonata nella città di Firenze. Gli antipasti da noi scelti erano composti da varie portare di delizie crude e cotte. I primi di pesce scelti (straccetti ai filetti di branzino e linguine all’astice) erano raffinati, saporiti ed un piacere non solo per il palato ma anche alla vista dato che le porzioni erano ricche amalgamate e ben servite. Passando ai secondi posso dire che, la frittura era croccante ed asciutta, inoltre abbiamo preso una spigola all'isolana da quattro leggera e “gustosa”. La cena è stata accompagnata da un buon vino (Ribolla Gialla) egregio accompagnamento. Ho apprezzato la qualità eccelsa e l'equilibrio dei sapori, adoro i ristoranti con cucina tradizionale e non gradisco la cucina gourmet per questo ringrazio i miei amici fiorentini per avermi fatto conoscere il paradiso dei sensi. Conosco per lavoro molti ristoranti di buon livello ma reputo Da Settimo il miglior ristorante di pesce in Italia, dove la semplicità coniuga la qualità. Egregio rapporto qualità prezzo. Indiscutibile la cortesia e si nota la professionalità. Bravi!!! I mie più sentiti complimenti!!!
Consigliato vivamente.

“Wow! Da Settimo What a Delightful Experience!”

My husband and I just moved to Firenze from Genova and ended up getting an apartment very close to Da Settimo. When we invited our visiting Bulgarian friends for dinner tonight, we asked if they minded leaving downtown Firenze for a meal here and they heartily agreed! We were glad they did!

The service was impeccable and the food was even better. It's hard finding fresh seafood (especially done well) in Firenze, but this is the place to find it.

The four of us shared the seafood sampler appetizer which came out over the course of 30 minutes on at least seven plates. We had everything from anchovies to octopus (the best I've ever had), shrimp, sea bass mousse, squid, oysters, prawns, mussels, clams, tuna and salmon tartar, and more! What a delightful treat! And, might I add, served at just the right intervals and in the right order. The oysters coming last was the perfect finish!

For our meals, they shared the Sea Bass cooked with potatoes for two (which was SO light and delicate and perfectly cooked) while my husband and I shared the linguine (homemade) with lobster (not American lobster for those of you coming from the states - it was Mediterranean). It was SUPERB. The ragu alone was so good that the four of us took all the bread at the table to sop it up. I can't say enough about how rich it was, but it wasn't filling and not overpowering. It was the perfect balance of flavors.

We didn't get dessert, but did get espressos (which were excellent) and their complimentary biscotti and chocolate covered hazelnuts. We also got two complimentary rounds of grappa and limoncello, which was a lovely treat and very nice.

To sum it up, my husband and I will be back here frequently, I'm sure. And our Bulgarian friends are sad to go home and not go with us the next time.

It's off the beaten path for tourists, this is true. But a ten Euro taxi ride and you are there. Trust me, it's worth it! Especially if you want a respite from the hustle and bustle of downtown tourism.

Yum!
