Ristorante Paoli Il Ristorante più Antico di Firenze. Cucina di Eccellenza dal 1827 Aperto nel 1827, il ristorante divenne molto noto agli inizi del ‘900. Nel 1951 G.
(400)

Nel 1909 fu interamente ristrutturato in stile neo-gotico. Nel 1916 Carlo Coppedé dipinse le lunette ispirate al Decameron, e nel 1919 Galileo Chini affrescò la “Saletta delle rose”. Da segnalare anche le ceramiche Cantagalli, con stemmi dei comuni toscani. Pini riportò il locale agli splendori del passato, con nuovi affreschi di Annigoni e Guarnieri. Storico luogo di incontro di intellettuali (Leoncavallo, Puccini, Marinetti), il ristorante conserva le tradizioni della cucina toscana.

At Paoli, history is written on the walls, too.

Look closely and you’ll find ceramic tiles made by Cantagalli, a historic Florentine workshop. Each one bears the coat of arms of a Tuscan town, bringing the symbols of the region into the dining room.

Take a moment to notice the details: the colours, the shapes, the differences between one emblem and the next. Together, they tell a story of Tuscan places and Florentine craftsmanship.

Cantagalli was known for its artistic ceramics and its interpretations of historic Italian majolica. At Paoli, that craftsmanship is part of the experience. You might spot it while waiting for your first course, in the middle of a conversation, simply by looking up.

Next time you visit, see how many coats of arms you can recognise. Which one will you find first? ✨

Truffle, shaved fresh, laid over a delicate, thin-sliced beef carpaccio. ✨ A pairing that needs nothing else: the earthy depth of the truffle meeting the silkiness of the raw beef, kept simple so every note truly comes through.

Every slice of carpaccio, every shaving of truffle, is there to bring out the other.
A classic that wins you over from the first bite.

Since 1827, in the heart of Florence. 🇮🇹

Some restaurants tell the story of a city. Paoli has lived it.

Founded in 1827 by Pietro Paoli, over almost two centuries the restaurant became a true landmark for Florence and its people: a meeting place that has welcomed generations of Florentines, travelers, artists, writers and illustrious guests.

Its reputation was such that the writer Novelli once recalled how just three words — “We’re at Paoli” — were enough to hear someone reply: “Ah, I know it! I’ve been there too! And who hasn’t?”

Almost 200 years later, those words still capture the spirit of Paoli perfectly. Dining here is not simply about sitting down for a meal: it means becoming, for a moment, part of the history of Florence.

Surrounded by historic interiors and centuries of stories, Antico Ristorante Paoli 1827 continues to celebrate authentic Tuscan cuisine and welcome guests from all over the world, right where it all began.

Long before Puccini's operas filled the great houses of Europe, the composer himself was filling a table right here in Florence. His signature still rests inside our guest book — over 1,000 pages of history, alongside names like Pirandello, Marinetti and Charlie Chaplin.

Since 1827, the doors of Via dei Tavolini have opened onto the same rooms, the same Tuscan recipes passed down through generations, the same warmth that once welcomed a composer between arias. Sit where he sat. Taste what he tasted.

Look up while dining at Antico Ristorante Paoli 1827 and you might spot a remarkable piece of history above your head: the bronze bust of Woodrow Wilson, the 28th President of the United States.
Before the Paris Peace Conference in 1919, Wilson visited Italy and was welcomed with extraordinary enthusiasm. Seen as a symbol of hope after World War I, he was celebrated across the country. In Florence, he was even awarded honorary citizenship at Palazzo Vecchio during the historic "American Day" celebrations.
More than a century later, his bust still watches over the restaurant, reminding every guest that Paoli has always been more than a place to dine, it's a place where history, culture, and unforgettable stories come together.

Careful what you wish for. Ask for truffle at Antico Ristorante Paoli, and it rains.

We've been serving Florence at the same tables since 1827, under the frescoes, between the Duomo and Palazzo Vecchio, inside the oldest restaurant in the city.

This is where Florence still eats slowly, and on purpose.
