Beautiful place to have dinner with a view of Basilica Santa Croce . The service was welcoming and playful. The food was delicious and fairly priced. I would heartily recommend and if we come back to Florence someday we would enjoy a meal here again.

Our dinner at Finisterrae was the highlight of our entire trip to Tuscany. We were welcomed by the owner and treated to a five star restaurant experience. The atmosphere, quality of the food and service was amazing. We all shared the Bistecca alla Fiorentina that was prepared perfectly and melted in your mouth. From salad to desert every course was delicious. Ask for the meloncello it was fantastic! If you are Florence make this restaurant a priority visit. You won’t be disappointed!

Stopped there for lunch and had a great pizza. So good that I went back for dinner and tried other delicious dishes. The staff is super friendly, food was great and the location is wonderful, right in front of Santa Croce Basilica. Keep it up and see you next time!
