It was like being in a chef's table at a very good (four stars) restaurant. The cooking class was very informative and fun. The meal a delight. We had a wonderful time. More

When you first arrive you may not understand what is awaiting you. This historical building is a hidden treasue once you go upstairs and enter Giglio Bianco. The cooking lessons, the fabulous meals, wine, music and all are exceptional. We hope to have them come to teach classes and visit us at home. More

Vary is an excellemt cook and is very passionate about her food and dishes. Eduardo explains the ingredients and how the dish is cooked. They are both wonderful hosts and nothing is too much trouble. They as k you beforehand what you do or don't eat and take it from there. The wine was lovely too! More

Chef Vary will cook a unique, delicious meal for you and create a romantic atmosphere you will never forget. My husband and I had a private dinner served by Chef Vary and Edo. There was candlelight and little hearts sprinkled on the table. The conversation and hospitality were also wonderful. We would highly recommend visiting this bed and breakfast to... More

We enjoyed a delicious 7 course meal while staying at the Giglio Bianco B&B in Florence. The presentation of each course was excellent, and the food tasted even better! This was a real highlight of our trip--we enjoyed the intimate setting, the detailed explanation of each course, and the evident care that had been taken to ensure that the meal... More

If you are in Florence, you have to book a dinner at Giglio Bianco. I found the restaurant on Tripadvisor and loved all of the other reviews. Chef Varinia and her husband Edoardo are the owners of the B&B and restaurant and they are a lovely couple. They are very quick to respond via email when I was making the... More

We were in Florence on Easter Sunday and had an excellent, gourmet dinner prepared by Chef Vary. The "Tuscan" meal (featuring fresh, organic ingredients) included 3 appetizers, a first course, a second course and dessert . My husband and I agreed that it was one of the best meals that we have ever experienced. The setting is charming - a... More

As others have mentioned (see review of the B&B of the same name for additional reviews of the restaurant), even if the 2-room B&B is booked during your stay in Florence, definitely consider making a reservation for dinner at Giglio Bianco while you're there. The experience is in a world apart from any of the restaurants (all of which were... More
