Caffè dell’Oro is a Bistro in Florence by the Portrait Firenze hotel
and it belongs to the Lungarno Collection. This all-day-dining
Italian Bistro is a magnificent modern yet cosy place that depicts
the desire of people to spend time together while enjoying great
traditional dishes. The extraordinary experience begins as soon as
one enters the warm, inviting and charming salon with the most
beautiful view over the Ponte Vecchio. Since the Caffè dell’Oro
is an all-day-dining Bistro, you can have a delightful gastronomic
experience for the entire day. Here you can have not only the
breakfast first thing in the morning, a light lunch at mid-day and
a gourmet dinner in the evening but also Cafffè dell’Oro will offer
you all the most traditional Italian breaks - such as a mid-morn-
ing espresso or a tea and cake in the afternoon. Cafffè dell’Oro
belongs to a magnificent hotel with stunning rooms with a view
for the Ponte Vecchio. The most magical thing about the hotel
and the restaurant is their capacity and originality to offer a per-
sonalised service for each guest. Before their arrival, the guests
are asked to fill up a simple questionnaire about the things they
like, from their favourite flours to their most wanted wishes or
adventures. This way, the service becomes personalised in the
sense that the guests are welcomed with their favourite flours,
favourite food and favourite experiences. One of the most amaz-
ing stories we heard about an experience at the Portrait Firenze
hotel was about a client who has answered in the questionnaire
how much he loved the Uffizi Gallery and he had the dream to
visit it one day at night. Against all odds, the Portrait Firenze
hotel arranged a night visit for this guest, transporting him into
his own magical world and fulfilling his dream, which he has
never believed possible. Besides all of these amazing offers of the
Portrait Firenze Hotel, Cafffè dell’Oro is by far one of the best ex-
periences. First of all, you don’t need to be a guest of the hotel to
try their brilliant interpretation of the Tuscan and Italian dishes.
Second of all, their meals are more than gourmet dishes prepared
by a Michelin star, they are a warm interpretation of the tradi-
tional Italian grandmothers’ cooking style. This is clearer if you
are an Italian, of course, but even if you are not, you will be able
to understand how extraordinary their dishes are and how they
can transport you to a magical place. If cooking is an art and if
art is an interpretation based on your own experience, then the
best meal one can have is the one that can reach one’s heart with
emotions of other times, other moments, other places. At Cafffè
dell’Oro you will be offered a great service, a great view and a
great magical food. We will be visiting Florence and this little
magical place shortly, once again hungry for more
