Restaurant in Florence, Italy
Michelin-noted tasting menus, easy to book.
Konnubio holds a Michelin Plate (2024 and 2025) and delivers modern Italian tasting menus — meat, fish, or vegetable tracks — at an accessible €€ price point in central Florence. The grape-variety wine list is notably more considered than most rooms at this tier. Good for dates and celebrations; book the romantic step table in advance.
Yes — at the €€ price point, Konnubio is one of the more dependable choices for a celebratory dinner in central Florence without the four-figure bill that comes with the city's top-tier tables. It holds a Michelin Plate for both 2024 and 2025, which signals consistent kitchen quality even if it stops short of star territory. For couples, anniversaries, or a dinner that needs to feel considered rather than casual, it delivers enough atmosphere and ambition to justify the occasion.
Konnubio sits on Via dei Conti, just west of the Duomo, which puts it within easy walking distance of the historic centre without the tourist-trap pricing that plagues that radius. The setting is described in Michelin's own notes as informal yet attractive — and that balance is exactly what makes it a workable choice for dates and celebrations that want warmth over stiffness. If the romantic table on the step is what you are after, book it specifically and book early; it is a small room and that particular spot fills before the general floor does.
The kitchen runs a modern Italian approach, with tasting menus structured around meat, fish, or vegetables , a format that suits occasion dining well because it removes the menu-anxiety of ordering à la carte and lets the kitchen make the case for itself. Michelin's reviewers specifically called out the beef fillet in a seed crust, served pink and succulent with radicchio and buttery mashed potatoes , a dish that reads as both technically considered and genuinely satisfying rather than architectural-for-its-own-sake. That kind of comfort-with-craft ratio is harder to find at this price tier than it should be.
The wine list is one of Konnubio's more distinctive features. Rather than the standard regional-Italian arrangement, bottles are organised by grape variety , a choice that rewards guests who want to explore and makes the list feel genuinely curated rather than assembled. The selection spans Italian labels and international options, which gives the sommelier (or your own instincts) room to move across the meal. For a special occasion, a wine programme this thoughtfully structured matters: it means the drinks side of the evening can match the ambition of the food rather than being an afterthought. If exploring Italian wine is part of why you are in Florence, you can find deeper regional dives through our full Florence wineries guide, but for a restaurant wine list at this price tier, Konnubio's grape-variety approach is notably more interesting than most.
Google reviewers back this up with a 4.4 rating across 1,604 reviews , a volume that makes the score meaningful. That is not a small sample of enthusiasts; it reflects a broad and consistent diner experience over time.
Booking at Konnubio is rated Easy, which is genuinely useful information if you are planning a Florence trip and trying to decide how far ahead to lock things in. You do not need to plan weeks out the way you would for Enoteca Pinchiorri or Gucci Osteria da Massimo Bottura. That said, if you want the specific step table for a date night, treat it as a harder booking and request it when you reserve , do not assume it will be available on the day. For standard tables, a few days' notice should be sufficient outside of peak Florentine tourist season (April through October), though a week ahead is always the safer call.
The tasting menu format across meat, fish, and vegetable tracks makes Konnubio easier than average for dietary preferences, since the kitchen is already building structured menus around ingredient categories. If you or your guest have specific restrictions, contacting the restaurant directly before your visit is the right move , phone and website details are leading confirmed at booking. The €€ price range means you are unlikely to feel the financial sting of a tasting menu commitment here the way you would at the city's €€€€ tables.
For further context on dining in the city, our full Florence restaurants guide covers the range from neighbourhood trattorias to Michelin-starred rooms. If you are building a full itinerary, our Florence hotels guide and Florence bars guide are worth reading alongside this. For pre- or post-dinner drinks in the area, the bar programme at Konnubio itself is worth noting: the grape-variety wine structure suggests a kitchen and floor team that takes the drinks side of the evening seriously, which is more than you can say for many comparable mid-range rooms in Italy.
If you are comparing Konnubio's modern Italian tasting menu approach to what is happening elsewhere in Italy at a similar or higher level, the reference points are instructive. Osteria Francescana in Modena and Uliassi in Senigallia represent the ceiling of what contemporary Italian cooking can do, but they are also in entirely different booking-difficulty and price tiers. Closer in spirit and geography, Dal Pescatore in Runate and Reale in Castel di Sangro show what the format looks like when it is taken to its regional extreme. Konnubio is not in that conversation, nor does it need to be: its job is to deliver a considered, modern Italian dinner in Florence at a price that does not require a special-occasion budget of €200 per head. It does that job consistently. For Italian Contemporary in other coastal settings, L'Olivo in Anacapri and Agli Amici in Rovinj offer useful comparisons for travellers moving through the region. Within Florence, Degusteria Italiana and Gunè San Frediano are worth considering if you want alternatives at a similar tier, while Atto di Vito Mollica steps up the formality and price if the occasion calls for it. Atelier Moessmer Norbert Niederkofler in Brunico and Quattro Passi in Marina del Cantone are relevant if your trip extends beyond Florence and you want to track what the modern Italian format looks like in alpine and coastal contexts respectively.
Konnubio earns its Michelin Plate recognition with a food-and-wine programme that punches clearly above its price tier. The tasting menu structure, the grape-variety wine list, and the intimate room make it a strong choice for dates and small celebrations in Florence. Book the step table if ambiance is important to you, request it specifically when you reserve, and do not overthink the lead time , this is not a hard reservation to secure.

How Konnubio stacks up against the competition.
Booking is rated Easy, so a week's notice is usually enough for standard tables. The one exception is the small romantic table on the step outside — for that specific spot, book well in advance, as Michelin's own note flags it fills fast. If your dates are fixed, book as soon as they are confirmed regardless.
The tasting menu structure at Konnubio runs across three distinct tracks — meat, fish, and vegetables — which gives the kitchen a clear framework for accommodating different dietary preferences. The vegetable-focused menu in particular signals genuine kitchen investment beyond token alternatives. check the venue's official channels before booking if you have specific allergen requirements, as hours and contact details are not listed publicly.
Yes, particularly if you are comfortable with a tasting menu format, which suits solo diners well — you choose a track and let the kitchen do the work. At €€ pricing, the bill stays manageable for one. The setting is described as informal, which removes any awkwardness of dining alone in a stiff room.
For a step up in formality and price, Santa Elisabetta inside the Brunelleschi Hotel holds two Michelin stars and suits a true splurge occasion. Enoteca Pinchiorri is Florence's long-standing three-star benchmark, but the price gap is substantial. If you want something closer to Konnubio's €€ register with a different format, Borgo San Jacopo offers Arno riverside setting at a higher price tier but strong visual impact for a special dinner.
At €€, yes — Konnubio holds a Michelin Plate in both 2024 and 2025, which confirms the cooking clears a meaningful quality bar without the pricing of starred competitors. The wine list, organised by grape variety and drawing from Italy and beyond, adds genuine value to the overall bill. For modern Italian tasting menus in central Florence at this price point, it is a dependable choice.
Yes, with one practical note: if the occasion calls for the small outdoor step table, book it early — Michelin specifically flagged it as worth requesting in advance. The tasting menu format, Michelin Plate recognition, and central Florence location on Via dei Conti make it a solid celebratory dinner that does not require a four-figure budget. For a more formal or high-ceremony occasion, Santa Elisabetta or Enoteca Pinchiorri would raise the stakes further.
