Review of Ristorante Hostaria Il Desco

AMAZING!!! I was only in Florence for a day, and we only ate at one restaurant, but this was quite possibly the best choice we could have made. they are part of the AIC and have a dedicated gf kitchen. As soon as we sat down I was asked if we needed a gf menu, and then as immediately served gf bread. basically everything on the regular menu could also be made gf so I have MANY options. I ended up having the spaghetti and omg. I also had bruscetta, panna cotta and tiramisu which where also wonderful. I personally have a nut allergy so I couldn't eat it, but my family said the pistachio cheesecake was heavenly. def a must try if in florence (plus it's right by the central leather market so we went shopping after)!
