Reburger
Via di Camaldoli, 2r
ph. +39 335 7716575

In the heart of Florence, there’s a name making every burger lover take notice: Reburger. Founded in 2021, this spot achieved an incredible feat: ranking 22nd in the 2025 World’s 25 Best Burgers, the only Italian on the list. But Reburger is more than just meat—it’s a full experience. Here, visual art, music, and great food come together in an explosive mix, turning every bite into a special moment. And when it comes to flavor, the homemade sauces steal the show: honey mustard, 1000 Island, barbecue, garlic mayo… all freshly prepared daily. The menu is just as surprising, offering not only meat burgers but also three types of homemade, preservative-free veggie patties. With their “slow fast food” approach, you’re not just eating—you’re experiencing creativity, passion, and taste in every single burger.

Lungarno 23
Lungarno Torrigiani, 23
ph. +39 055 2345957

Not far from Ponte Vecchio, this place is a real institution in the city, here everything is taken care of in the smallest detail: the meat is certified Chianina Igp, the sesame bread is handmade, the tomato and salad are always fresh and even the potatoes and the oil to fry them are carefully chosen. In addition to evergreens such as the Classico or the Zelante (a double hamburger), we recommend you try the combinations with seasonal ingredients, such as fresh porcini mushrooms or white truffles. The special of the season? The one with pumpkin flowers in tempura and gorgonzola sauce. For true gourmets.

Drogheria Bar & Grill
Largo Pietro Annigoni, 22
ph. +39 055 2478869

Undoubtedly one of the best burgers in Florence, they are prepared with Mugello meat, artisan bread with Tuscan DOP certification of 4 types: multi-grain, classic sesame, black bread with charcoal and gluten-free, accompanied by potato chips and homemade sauces. Very tasty proposals such as the Nova York, with crispy bacon, cheese, grilled sweet onions and barbecue sauce or the Supertoscanaccio, with wild mushrooms, ham, Mugello pecorino cheese and roasted Tuscan bread or even the Hambriaco cooked in Chianti. Also worth considering for the wide selection of veg and fish burgers.

Hard Rock Café
Via dei Brunelleschi, 1
ph. +39 055 277841

The meat of the burgers that are served at the Hard Rock Cafe in Florence is of certified Irish Angus, fed on grass and cereals that make it more "marbled" thus increasing the flavor of the meat. For the preparation of the burgers, the finest cuts of meat - Chuck, Brisket and Flat Iron - are chosen and are 100% natural without any additions. The brioche bun that accompanies the meat is fresh. Don't miss the BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger with spices, homemade barbecue sauce, crispy onions, cheddar cheese, lettuce and tomato; the Original Legendary Burger with smoked bacon, cheddar cheese, onion rings, lettuce and tomato; and the Double Deck Double Cheeseburger with double burgers and American cheese, mayonnaise, lettuce and tomato and red onion.

Cibrèo Caffè - Helvetia & Bristol
Via dei Pescioni, 8r
ph. +39 055 2341100

The Pikki Burger is a real cult favorite for fans of Fabio Picchi's creations. A delicious and irresistible hamburger, accompanied by the iconic double-cooked rustic potatoes – that is, twice-fried French fries. First they are baked in the oven and then fried, a little trick that makes them super crispy and perfect to bite into. To complete the dish, two sauces that are legendary in the Cibrèo world: fresh and delicate lemon mayonnaise and Ikkeciappe, Fabio Picchi's version of ketchup, made with peppers instead of tomatoes, a true trademark among his creations. The meat? Always strictly organic, for an authentic and sustainable taste.

Joe's American BBQ
Mercato Centrale

Joe Bastianich's Joe's American BBQ brings to the first floor of the Mercato Centrale the "low&slow", or slow cooking at low temperature, a tribute to the most authentic traditional culture of the United States of America. Compared to Milan, there are big novelties on the menu: for the first time in Italy, alongside the classic BBQ grades such as brisket, pulled pork and beef ribs, the smash burger, a special cooking technique for the patty, the meatball, which is crushed with a weight during cooking to make it crispy and succulent at the same time. On the upper floor of the shop we also find the Vineria Bastianich with wines from the family's cellars: those of Cantina Bastianich and the bottles produced by La Mozza, the wine cellar immersed in the splendid setting of the Tuscan Maremma, in Magliano (HERE is our video-interview with Joe Bastianich to find out all the news).

Duccio's Street Food

Among the most popular offerings, Duccio's Smash Burger stands out for its 90g double beef patty cooked with “smash” technique, double American cheddar, crispy bacon, tomato and a special house sauce, all served with fries . For those looking for bolder flavors, Yankee offers a fried beef burger stuffed with scamorza or gorgonzola cheese, accompanied by caramelized onion, tomato, lettuce and black pepper mayonnaise, served with fries.

We are immersed in the beautiful setting of the largest indoor market in Florence, an impressive work that alone deserves a visit, even more if you taste an excellent Chianina burger of short chain. Among the cult the so-called "magnificent": cult burgers rotating every three months made with products according to seasonality, such as the one with pecorino cheese with Cinta Senese bacon.

Aviazione
Viale Malta, 4
ph. +39 055 5381058

Many people know this American-style restaurant for its fabulous pizza by the meter, but it is the Chianina hamburger to be the master, better if enjoyed with chips, fried vegetables and one of the many craft beers offered on the menu. Among the burgers, we recommend some very special ones, such as Cinta Senese or Chianina burgers with truffles.
