Zeb operates on a first come first serve basis at lunch time, which is fortunate because I imagine they are often booked out far in advance for the dinner hours. Needless to say, whether you’re walking in or booking ahead, aim to be early. Our party of three was among the first to arrive, and we were promptly seated. One should note that there is no bad seating at Zeb. The counter style seating arrangement ensures that all diners have a similar experience — which begins with Chef Alberto taking your wine order and going through the day’s menu. At this point, I feel compelled to mention that we found Chef Alberto to be nothing short of welcoming and pleasant. I can’t imagine him being otherwise — unless, perhaps, one were to request a substitution, which would understandably be frustrating given how deliberately his menu is composed each day. Regretfully, I did not get any pictures of the meal for this review, but that’s because I was so absorbed by the Pici al Ragu di Manzo in front of me, and later the Trippa alla Fiorentina — both of which were perfect. To end, I’ll simply recommend that you trust the Michelin Guide, which has consistently included Zeb in its yearly Bib Gourmand list. And as for the food itself — trust Chef Alberto; he knows exactly what belongs on the plate.

My husband and I went here for our last night in Florence and we were blown away. Incredible dishes at a more than fair price with an eccentric, but laid back atmosphere. This place is ran by a mother and son duo that has exquisite taste in cuisine. I had the pear ravioli to start and cow tongue for the main. I’m usually not that adventurous with meat, but that was one of the best beef dishes I’ve ever had. Be sure to make a reservation here on your next trip to Florence, you will not be disappointed!
