Borgo San Jacopo

Borgo San Jacopo is a one-Michelin-starred fine dining restaurant in the Oltrarno district of Florence, set within the Hotel Lungarno — part of the Ferragamo family’s Lungarno Collection — directly on the south bank of the Arno with privileged views of the Ponte Vecchio and the river. Executive chef Claudio Mengoni — a Florentine with international culinary experience — brings a youthful sophistication and clear creative vision to a menu that takes contemporary Tuscan and southern Italian flavors as its starting point, reinterpreting them with confidence and genuine creativity. The restaurant’s small terrace, projecting over the Arno with the Ponte Vecchio in direct line of sight, is considered one of the most romantic and scenically extraordinary dining spots in Italy — request it when booking. The interior is elegant and romantic throughout, with design elements reflecting the Ferragamo family’s aesthetic sensibility. The wine list is legendary — nearly a thousand labels spanning Italy and beyond — with sommelier Salvatore Biscotti guiding pairings with expertise and enthusiasm. Service is attentive and warm. Borgo San Jacopo holds one Michelin star.
