Florence’s fanciest cucina nuova (nouvelle cooking) now inhabits a highly original space that combines post-modern decor with the recently uncovered medieval frescoes on the walls and ceiling vaults (including the earliest known portraits of Dante, Boccaccio, and Petrarch).
Alle Murate was one of the first places in the city to experiment with nouvelle cuisine. It tries, however, to balance cucina creativa with traditional Tuscan techniques and dishes. As long as you're coming, go ahead and splash out on a €90 tasting menu.
For these prices, the portions could be larger and the presentation better, but the food is good and the antipasti, contorni, aperitifs, and dessert wines are included in the price of your meal.
