Michelin tables in Florence
5 michelin tables in Florence, chosen and checked by the Atlas. The world's great dining rooms, from three-star palace restaurants in Paris and Mayfair to the counters of Tokyo and the kitchens of New York and São Paulo. Only Michelin-starred tables.
Enoteca Pinchiorri
Florence's only three-star restaurant, in a 17th-century palazzo, built around one of the greatest wine cellars in the world.

Gucci Osteria da Massimo Bottura

Good to know
Book early
Three-star tables often release reservations 30 to 90 days ahead and fill within hours. Set a reminder, or ask your hotel concierge.
Dress the room
Smart is the rule; a jacket is expected in most palace-hotel dining rooms, and some still require a tie.
Tell them in advance
Allergies, dislikes and celebrations are best mentioned when booking, not at the table.
Lunch is the secret
Many starred kitchens serve a shorter lunch menu at a fraction of the dinner price, with the same hands at the stove.
