Terrazze Michelangelo in Firenze, open April–August.
Perched at 61 Viale Michelangelo, this restaurant commands sweeping panoramic views of Florence's terracotta rooftops, the Arno River, and the Duomo rising against the Tuscan hills.
Elevated 300+ meters above the city center, the terrace transforms at sunset into a natural amphitheater of light and architecture.
The venue merges Florentine culinary tradition with 360-degree sightlines that frame your ceremony or reception in one of Italy's most recognizable skylines.
The food at this restaurant was very disappointing. We came from the United States expecting to eat good Italian food, but how can a restaurant only serve fish on New Year's Eve? The food arrived cold and very slowly. The food was expensive and tasteless. Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. We are having a terrible experience. We are a group of 8 people, and since I chose this restaurant, I feel very bad because nobody ate; we are all hungry. Very disappointed.
