EVERY DAY 8 AM – 11 PM

A true symbol of Florentine tradition

History

Your Tuscan home in the heart of Florence

The history of Ristorante Il Bargello spans centuries, preserving its original calling: to bring together the Florentine people around its tables.

Over the decades, the establishment has hosted various activities, but it was in the 1970s that Il Bargello was acquired by the renowned Rodolfo Turicchia. He preserved its ambiance and historical essence while infusing it with a fresh wave of modernity.

Today, more than 600 years later, Il Bargello has preserved its essence as a beloved gathering place for Florentines. It has also expanded its welcome, opening its doors to tourists from all over the world, inviting them to share in its rich history and vibrant community spirit.

Florentine tradition runs deep in our establishment, infusing every preparation and dish with the authentic flavors of our region. Il Bargello, now a family-run restaurant, stays true to its historical roots while incorporating a youthful and fresh approach to management.

We pride ourselves on honoring the time-honored culinary practices of our heritage, ensuring that each meal offers a genuine taste of Florence, all while embracing modernity to create a welcoming and vibrant dining experience.

Signature dishes

THE FLORENTINE STEAK

The Florentine Steak

a true culinary religion

The Florentine steak is a true symbol of Tuscan cuisine and one of the most iconic dishes at Il Bargello Restaurant, set in the heart of Florence in Piazza della Signoria.

A true Florentine steak is recognized by its iconic T-shaped bone, which separates the sirloin from the tenderloin, and comes to life through cooking over a visible wood-charcoal grill— a distinctive element that brings out the meat’s full, natural flavor.

At Il Bargello, we carefully select a range of meats to offer a well-rounded experience: from scottona, prized for its tenderness and flavor, to Chianina, a historic Tuscan breed; from Gran Vacca, more mature with a richer, more intense taste, to dry-aged cuts, aged over time to develop a deep, structured flavor.

SHARING DISHES

Sharing Dishes

Symbol of tradition

At our table, just like in traditional Tuscan homes, dishes are placed at the center, everyone serves themselves straight from the pan, and going back for seconds is always part of the ritual.

Sharing dishes are at the heart of the experience at Il Bargello Restaurant: recipes designed to be enjoyed together, where the pleasure of food meets the joy of being together. From the rich and intense traditional peposo, to the spit-roasted spiedone, to fusillone with wild boar ragù, every course is an invitation to experience the table as a genuine moment of connection.

Because true Tuscan cooking is meant to be shared.

HOMEMADE PASTA

Homemade Pasta

creativity and passion

At Il Bargello Restaurant, homemade pasta is a daily ritual rooted in tradition. n our artisan kitchen, we work as it was once done—using generous egg yolks, semolina, and carefully selected flours, following recipes passed down through generations.

The result is a selection of dishes that reflect the truest expression of Tuscan cooking: pappardelle with rich ragù, hand-folded ravioli, and semolina pici. Among them, our spaghettini alla carrettiera stand out as a dish that carries our story—simple, bold, and deeply Florentine, a staple that has long brought character and identity to the table.

Every bite is a return to our roots, where tradition becomes something you can truly experience.
