Essenziale Details PleaseOpen Tuesday through Sunday 7:30 PM to 11:30 PM Closed on MondayWhat Our Friends Are Saying Michelin guide: "As its name suggests, this restaurant has a young, minimalist ambience. Friendly welcome and service, plus innovative cuisine full of surprises. You’ll find your cutlery in a drawer in your table, in an interesting nod to household traditions of bygone days."Lonely Planet: "There's no finer showcase for modern Tuscan cuisine than this loft-style restaurant in a 19th-century warehouse. Preparing dishes at the kitchen bar in rolled-up shirt sleeves and navy butcher's apron is dazzling young chef Simone Cipriani. Order one of his tasting menus to sample the full range of his inventive, thoroughly modern cuisine inspired by classic Tuscan dishes."

This industrial-style minimalist restaurant feels very different from most of the traditional (i.e. rustic) Tuscan restaurants in Florence. With loud music, bright lights, stone floors, and bare tables save for water glasses and folded napkins and truly excellent food, Essenziale is a refreshing break from the norm in this city.
