🤢 2/5 - Very poor - not Michelin star standard

Dined here with my wife on a recent trip to Florence. We were left thoroughly disappointed, and I wish I’d heeded some of the other reviews here. Firstly, the food was good. Interesting flavours and concepts, once you accept there’s not going to be much Italian or Florentine influence in the meal. We opted for one of the tasting menus and the additional “Journey from Modena,” with wine pairing. My wife wanted a martini to start dinner but was told they could only make the cocktails on the list - which was a bit of a red flag - so we opted for one of their own cocktails. The waiter poured the water with such ferocity, I thought he was trying to put out a fire - not something I expect in a one star restaurant. The wine pairing was a waste of time. For €140pp I’d have rather had a decent bottle of wine. Portions were measly. For one course, when the food came, we had no wine. Thankfully it was a cold course as we had to wait for the pairing. No apology. Very poor explanation of the wines and why they were paired, just “this is a pinot noir from x and will go well with y.” The food service was so inconsistent. On one occasion, we were served two courses within 11 minutes of each other then waited 40 minutes for the following course. The wine for the following course came 25 minutes before the food, and by the time the food arrived there wasn’t much wine left. To add insult to injury I found a cocktail stick in the chicken which I could have easily swallowed. No apology. For some reason, a loaf of bread arrived half way though dinner. This was after we had some focaccia at the beginning of our meal - when you would ordinarily expect bread. The desserts came and we still had no mention of the “Journey from Modena” but my wife and I both agreed we were done with the restaurant, and were ready to go. All of sudden these two plates of scorching hot tortellini landed, creamy cheese and meat. In astonishment, I questioned the waiter why this was coming after having the two desserts, to which he said, “it’s the way Massimo would want. You can have tortellini at any time!” This was not the time for a cheesy pasta, not after having two sweets. We sent it back and asked for the bill. They removed the dish from the bill and the cocktails. Overall, a very disappointed experience. I don’t say this lightly as I have a lot of respect for Massimo Bottura, but this restaurant does not deserve a Michelin star, and the conflation of Gucci and Massimo is why people go here. The service is a real area of concern. Not worth almost €800.
