A restaurant in the Torrigiani Garden
Serre Torrigiani sits within the Torrigiani Garden in San Frediano, in Florence’s Oltrarno. The restaurant and bar occupy part of the garden, with outdoor tables set among trees and plants. Three greenhouses of different sizes and designs are used to grow flowering plants and aromatic herbs, and also have small tables for drinks.
The setting works for a meal or a more informal stop for a drink. The garden bar serves cocktails and non-alcoholic drinks, while the restaurant has both Italian and international dishes. The space is also used for private events.
What to order and how to plan your visit
Ravioli, salmon and beef tenderloin are among the dishes highlighted on the menu. Potato waffles and a Bloody Mary are another option for a lunch stop. The wine selection is extensive, and you can also come for cocktails or an aperitivo.
A reservation is a sensible choice for a restaurant table. Some outdoor areas use self-service, and food may be served on paper plates there, so choose a restaurant table if you prefer table service. Finding the entrance can take a little attention: it is beyond a parking lot between two streets, and signage may not be obvious. The venue is open Tuesday to Sunday, with Sunday service starting at lunchtime.
