Scavenger hunt activity
Not that easy to attend. They send us to a restaurant by GPS. Good food, avoid the outdoor seating. Nice ambiance inside. Then, you have to figure out How to get to Santa Monaca. It is a 3 to 5 mins walk. Love the place but I think that the performers are over their heads. They interpret known composers but particular pieces that are not that popular. It is for the connoisseur of opera, not for the commons.

Directions for dinner and event were unclear.
The invitation did not specify where dinner was or how the event was structured. When I arrived at the church, the doors were closed and some singing could be heard through them. We thought we missed the event by two by 1 minute, so we walked home. On the way home we discovered through app chat that dinner was first and it was at a place that was not informed in email. They allowed me to come to the event the next day but disallowed dinner.

Fun filled evening
This was an amazing experience and I would highly recommend it to anyone who loves music and the arts!

Opera mediocre and dinner good
Before the opera we went to eat. Not special on the outside. However, it was pleasant inside, good food and excellent service. Afterwards, at 9 pm we listened to two opera singers accompanied by a pianist. That was disappointing. It seemed like a competition to see who could sing the loudest (screaming...) and lacked passion and sensitivity. The pianist played too mechanically and seemed to be slamming the piano. The acoustics of the church made the music sound even louder and shriller. We sat through it.
via Tripadvisor
If you add an hour performance of Italian opera while in Florence, you’ll talk about it for the rest of the year.
We walked to this old church and listened to the wonderful voice of Laura Andreini, soprano. What a spectacular performance!!!

Why this scores 43
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Italian Opera in Santa Monaca Church with Dinner: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does Italian Opera in Santa Monaca Church with Dinner cost?
+
Prices start at $80 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Florence usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Italian Opera in Santa Monaca Church with Dinner take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Florence is not rushed.
Is Italian Opera in Santa Monaca Church with Dinner worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 43 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.3/5 across 35 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Florence, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Italian Opera in Santa Monaca Church with Dinner?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Italian Opera in Santa Monaca Church with Dinner suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Italian Opera in Santa Monaca Church with Dinner?
+
Around 12 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Florence can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Florence and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Italian Opera in Santa Monaca Church with Dinner start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Florence within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Florence?
+
On Outty we rank every Florence experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Best tour in Florence: Renaissance & Medici Tales - guided by a STORYTELLER, Florence Pizza or Pasta Class & Gelato Making at a Tuscan Farm, Small group Tuscan Wineries, Olive Oil & Gourmet Lunch or Dinner. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Florence?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Florence?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
