Very cool atmosphere loved all the pictures on the walls.
The food was very fresh very good. The waiter was very friendly. Everybody enjoyed their meals. The pasta was al dente. The raviolis were delicious. They have some cooked to perfection.
Be the first to ReplyArrived on time for our reservation and were told to wait.
We asked multiple times for an estimate of when we would be seated to no answer from the hostess (appears to be Zeb's mother?). After 45 minutes of waiting with increasing hostility, dismissiveness, and snide looks, we left. Truly disappointing and infuriating! Why offer reservations if you cannot fulfill them? We wasted our valuable time in Florence when it would have been much simpler for them to take accountability and just tell us they could not uphold our reservation.
Be the first to ReplyI will never visit Florence again without walking to Piazza
I will never visit Florence again without walking to Piazza Michelangelo and stopping at Zeb on the way back. The chefs table layout is bustling on the inside while laid back bar height seating is surrounded by shelves of wine. The owner/chef demands his customers eat well as he knows no dish will disappoint. One of our more memorable and unexpected meals in Italy.
Be the first to ReplyOur recent attempt to dine at Zeb, sans reservation, was a
Our recent attempt to dine at Zeb, sans reservation, was a lesson in how not to treat potential customers. Upon arrival, we were met with the maitre d's disinterested gaze, as he was too busy showcasing his menu narration skills to a captive audience. When he did turn to us, it was with a dismissive wave of the hand and a tone dripping with condescension. We inquired about a table and were briskly informed that nothing was available - as if our lack of reservation was a personal affront. When I asked about the reservation process, hoping for a modern, online option, he retorted, "Over the phone, of course," as though I had asked the world's most obvious question. While Zeb's culinary reputation may be stellar, their front-of-house approach could use a serious overhaul. Being dismissed with a wave and spoken to like an inconvenience isn't my idea of hospitality, especially when I'm ready to pay a premium price. It's a shame that such a reputed place lets arrogance overshadow customer service. ------------------------------- Il nostro recente tentativo di cenare da Zeb, senza prenotazione, si è trasformato in una lezione su come non trattare i potenziali clienti. All'arrivo, siamo stati accolti dallo sguardo disinteressato del maître, troppo impegnato a esibire le sue doti di narratore del menù a un pubblico rapito. Quando finalmente si è rivolto a noi, è stato con un gesto di mano sbrigativo e un tono intriso di condiscendenza. Abbiamo chiesto se c'era un tavolo libero e ci è stato risposto bruscamente che non c'era nulla disponibile - come se la mancanza di una prenotazione fosse un affronto personale. Quando ho chiesto informazioni sul processo di prenotazione, sperando in un'opzione moderna online, ha ribattuto: "Ovviamente per telefono", come se avessi fatto la domanda più ovvia del mondo. Sebbene la reputazione culinaria di Zeb possa essere eccellente, il loro approccio con i clienti all'ingresso necessita seriamente di una revisione. Essere liquidati con un gesto della mano e parlato come se fossimo un fastidio non è la mia idea di ospitalità, specialmente quando sono pronto a pagare un prezzo elevato. È un peccato che un locale così rinomato lasci che l'arroganza offuschi il servizio al cliente.
Be the first to ReplyDo yourself a favor, and keep walking.
The chef, whose mom gave him a job, seems frustrated to have to interact with humans. Make sure to follow his (unwritten) rules on how/when/what to order, or you are in for a scolding. Plus, the food was just OK. Really, the only interesting dish was spaghetti (whatever) with ragu. And that's not why I go to heralded joints in Tuscany. Paper napkins? Snooty service from chef (who got the job from his mom, did I mention?). Wine was fine. But chef had such a sneering attitude. If you make the mistake of going, avoid the pear/apple pasta. Weird concept, but even creepier presentation. Osso buco was not reminiscent of the satisfying dish you've enjoyed before. Meatball tried to be interesting with lemon, but was dessicated on the plate. Then there's the smirking chef.... His mom gives him a restaurant, and he presides over the place like Cosimo I. We love staying in the San Niccolo neighborhood, but this experience felt like stepping on a snail on the patio--weird and unpleasant. The best part of the meal was that my friends and I (who have dined at starred restaurants) will always have a great story to tell (about haughty chef, who got his job from his mom). No soup for you!
Be the first to ReplyUnfortunately we had awful service at Zeb.
We were super excited for this spot and got a table during lunch - the waiter/maitre d' was incredibly rude to our group, made a comment because one person wore a mask and was upset when I asked for a new glass of wine because there was a bug in the glass. Awful experience, would neither go back nor recommend to someone else. Ruined our lunch.
Be the first to ReplyAn absolute gem.
This meal was truly incredible. Highly recommended. Would come here again and again!
Be the first to ReplyWe had a reservation yet they had us standing by the door
We had a reservation yet they had us standing by the door for an hour after our reservation time. They were extremely snippy which eventually led to outright hostility (because we kept asking to be seated) . Extremely rude Cannot speak to the food unfortunately because horrible service and disrespect of reservation led to us leaving
Be the first to ReplyOur dinner here was fantastic (both the food and wine
Our dinner here was fantastic (both the food and wine pairing), and prices were incredibly reasonable. Menu was written in Italian on a chalkboard. Owner walked around to each party, quickly translated the menu (if needed), and then took your order. Their pasta dishes were phenomenal. I loved my pear and pecorino cappellacci, which had the perfect hint of sweetness from the pear, and my husband his truffle and ricotta cappellacci. Also enjoyed my rolled chicken and my husband his rabbit (though he had a few bones). Ended our meals with tiramisu and cheesecake. Cheesecake was amazing and didn't taste like it was made with cream cheese (but maybe ricotta?). We were in the first seating at 7:30pm, and almost everyone had reservations. There was one couple who walked in at opening with no reservations and grabbed the last two available seats though.
Be the first to ReplyMe and my sister went to Zeb for lunch.
The chef and his mother run the place and they are such sweethearts. The restaurant is laid out very neatly in 2 rows around a middle bar/ island area. The food was amazing. The chef explained the menu to us in English and was very patient with us. We had 2 pear sauce pasta and pici with meat sauce . Both came in piping hot. The wine recs went down very smooth. The desserts were cheesecake and tiramisu both divine..
Be the first to ReplyThe food was absolutely incredible.
It's a mother/son duo and they treated us great. It's a small place, but has a very intimate seating arrangement. My wife and I hardly talked during our meal, it was so good! It was so good that we went back for dinner. Please, do yourself a favor and stop by, you won't regret it.
Be the first to Reply'd like to preface my review with a note that I write this
'd like to preface my review with a note that I write this review to give you a feel of the restaurant, rather than just the food. While I understand that the initial thoughts of someone going into this restaurant are of pretentious staff peddling overpriced finger food, the actual experience is far different. I was very lucky to stumble into the opportunity to try the food at Zeb. We'd just finished a long stair/hill climb to the top of the overlook and were hungry, but when we looked around the options were dire. A lot of pretty facades or beautiful locales that likely made the owners think would make the tourists gobble up their awful food. We found Zeb, with excellent reviews and Michelin ratings, at the base of our little hike and decided to try our luck knowing there'd likely be a long wait. When we arrived we were lucky to be greeted and get a seat in the inner corner of the room then were almost immediately attended. The gentleman, whom I presume to be the restaurateur, walked over and his presence felt confident and commanded attention as he began giving us choices on drinks. His thick-framed glasses that glinted with flashes of Royal Blue in the light, were a welcome distraction to my ADHD brain as he read each item on the menu and described every dish in detail. He set the table for us to begin enjoying one of the finest meals we had in our entire trip to Rome, Florence, Edinburgh and Amsterdam. As he read the menu, I will say that I was a bit overwhelmed with the choices, as he explained the dishes I attempted to picture in my mind and 'digest' it, so to speak, when suddenly we were at the next option. The first course that stood out to me, however, was the Capellacci di Pera, Ricotta e Pecorino in Salsa di Pere. I'd never ventured far past the 'standard' when it came to the flavors and possibilities of pasta so, to me, a savory pasta with pears was definitely intriguing. It was a light, perfectly cooked dish and had a great balance of flavors that worked so well together that every ingredient felt equally represented. Other restaurants try to cover up mediocre food with lots of unnecessary truffle-this or beautiful-view-that, but this dish was simple and elegant. I was feeling particularly entranced by the food and vibe in the room that I decided to continue with a more adventurous choice for my second course. Being that we were in Florence, we'd been told to try a Florentine Steak numerous times and it felt obligatory by the last day of our visit in this city. On the other hand, I thought to myself, if I am dining at a Michelin-rated restaurant I may as well allow myself to try something different than the 'safe' options. I opted for a Trippa alla Florentina, as it satisfied my appetite for something adventurous and my need to try something 'alla Fiorentina' before our train departed Florence. The dish was reminiscent of a similar dish in Mexican cuisine and had me longing for those cold days with a bowl of hot soup made by my mother. There were additional notes of herbs that were likely locally used that elevated the dish into a more refined experience. The dish felt light with bold flavors from the aromatics blending into the broth -- and while it was soup-esque, it definitely satisfied my hunger. After our meal, I left the city with a more cozy and welcoming memory than when I'd first arrived. Watching the gentleman describe the menu to other patrons of the restaurant while I ate my food made me appreciate his craft more. As he described the menu you could almost see the glimmer in his eyes fade bit by bit as tourists flocked in and were (in my eyes) more concerned about drinking cheap alcohol or an instagrammable view than the array of wonderful choices before them. Or maybe that was me projecting my own feelings onto him, as he never disparaged or turned away any customer or even looked at them differently no matter how they appeared, me in particular in sweaty clothes and loud USAmerican everything about me. I sadly never got the name of the restaurateur but he looks like a younger, fitter, bearded Colin Firth, and he provided excellent service that made the entire experience so intimate and feel catered to the individual. If you are in Florence and have time to go on a bit of a gastronomic adventure, in an otherwise saturated market of tourist traps, I'd definitely recommend Zeb in a heartbeat.
Be the first to ReplyZebs is a fantastic wine bistro.
I go there at least twice every year when I visit Florence Italy. the restaurant is clean neat and the Service is an experience only to Zebs. I highly recommend that you give it a try.

One of the best dining experiences of my life! Details - this restaurant is all about the details! Everything from the chef walk thru of the menu, every last bite, everything was simply AMAZING! Go early, but do not hesitate or miss one of the best meals you've ever could have!
Be the first to ReplyWe were brought here by Italian friends that live outside
We were brought here by Italian friends that live outside of Florence. Always a good sign. But the food?? As I said to the owner, this was the single best pasta I have eaten in my life. And I've eaten a lot of pasta! I had 'cappellacci del fiori Di zucca' - a pasta stuffed with zucchini flowers and at least two different types of cheese. The sauce was a very light cream with shredded zucchini for flavoring. The dish was so light, so refreshing.Others had the coniglio (rabbit) and the osso bucco. The house red was exceptional. The restaurant itself is super charming. You eat around a common bar, with the owner and his mamma engaging with the guests. We have already made plans to return on Thursday. Waiting an extra day only because they are closed on Wednesday.(For those reviews commenting on the service, see the photo of the smiling man below. This is the affable gentleman that has been accused of being rude and standoffish? That was the opposite of our experience.)
Be the first to ReplyThis was our favorite restaurant in Florence! We had pici
This was our favorite restaurant in Florence! We had pici and the ravioli, and the burrata with mixed vegetables. Delicious! It's good to make a reservation to ensure you have a spot at the counter.
Be the first to ReplyZeb features great Italian classics that is worth coming
Zeb features great Italian classics that is worth coming back for... if only not for the service.A Michelin recommended restaurant, Zeb is the work of a mother-son duo who prepare and serve Italian dishes that are both rustic and delicious. Given they are both the cooks and the servers, it is not meant to be a big space for many people. Instead, it is quite intimate with diners sitting side by side. While the idea of this really cozy space seems great if you are entertained by an affable host, the main server here (the son) can be a little standoffish and can come off as rude. My experience was not so great and I could see it also rubbed off some other diners the wrong way.However, what I was really impressed with here was the food. For our primi, we had ordered the capellacci with ricotta and pears and the black truffle spaghetti. The capellacci with ricotta and pears was probably one of the best pasta dishes we had during our two week Italy trip! The slight sweetness of the pear paired so well with the rich creaminess of the ricotta. The black truffle spaghetti was also pretty good!In terms of secondi, we ordered the osso buco a Florentine classic of veal which was flavorful without the gamey taste expected from veal. Not as great as the pasta dishes, but still worth getting!Given the limited space, highly recommend getting a reservation if you would like to dine here! Otherwise, you may also suffer the utter dysfunction of the chaotic service here as mentioned before...Overall, Zeb offers great food that is worth checking out if you are in this area of Florence, but come with reservations and expect disjointed service.
Be the first to ReplyWhile visiting Florence a few weeks ago, my friend and I
While visiting Florence a few weeks ago, my friend and I had the distinct pleasure of visiting Zeb for dinner one night. We called a couple of days ahead and were able to secure a reservation on a Thursday night. To start, I have to say that I do not understand why there are so many reviews indicating that the service is poor. My friend and I both found the owner and his mother to be lovely people. They were warm, inviting, helpful and grateful for our business. Onto the food...my friend and I shared the cappellacci di pera, ricotta and pecorino, the cappellacci di ricotta & tartufo, the melanzana alla parmigiana, and the peposo. For dessert, I had tiramisu.Every last bite was delicious, and I'd no doubt return to this restaurant on my next visit to Florence.

Cute countertop service. Best ravioli I've ever had, and an amazing chocolate torte for dessert.

We had lunch (May '22) at this counter-only seating, smallish, but efficiently designed restaurant. The food was inconsistent (pasta w/ truffle was super, the ossobuco was a little chewy), the perfunctory service (basically one man) was arrogant and ungentlemanly. I can excuse arrogance, but not bad manners. 3.5 stars for the food and -1 star for hospitality. In the end, I not only want to enjoy the food, but the whole experience, and willful rudeness is off putting.
Be the first to ReplyBest meal in Florence.
Every bite was fantastic. Wonderful staff. The stuffed ravioli with truffle is spectacular. Wish we could have tried everything on the menu.
Be the first to ReplyVery good food paired with the absolute worst service I
Very good food paired with the absolute worst service I experienced in this city or on this vacation.If you go, and you don't speak Italian, I recommend that you do not ask for clarification because they get upset and express a disgusting negative attitude. I find servers everywhere in Italy commonly speak multiple languages, however the servers here only speak Italian. My fiancé and I speak four languages combined (Spanish, French, and Russian), so I'm shocked they would treat us with such poor regard. It is sad when an otherwise enjoyable evening is ruined by extremely rude service.
Be the first to ReplyFirst of all, the owner and all of the staff are very
First of all, the owner and all of the staff are very customer friendly and explain the menu to each of them.After the owner explained me the menu list, I chose as a first course the Cappellacci stuffed with pear, pecorino and ricotta served on a pear sauce. This tasted so great that I was tempted to try a second course. This time I chose the Peposo a Tuscan speciality which consists of meat marinated in oil and spices and pepper corns for several days. This course gets you stuffed by just eating it with bread. It was delicious beyond words. I ended up adding two glasses of rose and a bottle of water. This was a great lunch !I can highly recommend this place.

Amazing service and reasonably priced but the best part was the incredible food! It's a small, intimate restaurant so a reservation was necessary. I can't wait to go back!
