A small, intimate restaurant in Santa Spirito serving Tuscan classics. We had their delicious Florentine steak which was cooked perfectly and just melted in your mouth. Can’t understand why so many stand in an endless line at nearby Gustapizza when they can walk just 100 yards and, with no waiting, enjoy this terrific little gem. Highly recommended.

Typical Trattoria seating, very intimate and across the river from the tourist hustle and bustle. I had the Guancia, braised pork cheeks in a hearty red wine sauce. One cheek was excellent succulent and fork tender, the other was tough. My date ordered the sliced veal with a peppercorn tuna sauce. We lost something in the translation as it was deli sliced thin served cold as was the sauce. Would not order again. The dessert was excellent and the waiter gave us a choice of local digestifs.

Excellent cuisine! The dishes were delicious and the combinations of ingredients very surprising. We enjoyed the cocktails prepared with much care, and the wine was fantastic. The service is top, the perfect mix of hospitality, knowledge to make recommendations and space left for privacy. We will definitely return!

Only a couple of hundred yards from the Pitti Palace this Bistrot is definitely NOT a tourist trap. The menu was original yet very traditional Tuscan. The service was excellent and when asked both the food and wine menu were explained to us thoroughly and simply in both English and Italian. The prices were very reasonable if not inexpensive considering the close proximity to many tourist destinations. This was a great restaurant and I would definitely recommend it to both family and friends!

Bistro Monaconero is a fabulous restaurant we stumbled upon while wandering the streets of Florence, and we were delighted! The service is superb, the presentation and flavors excellent… and a calming atmosphere makes Monaconero our favorite place to escape from the busy old town of Firenze. Our chosen charcuterie board for our starter was artistically created with the finest of fresh ingredients, and the toasted pine nuts paired with blue cheese and pair on toasted bread was wonderful! Highly recommend the salad with walnuts and burrata, as well as tiramisu! Don’t miss out on this hidden gem- Our best dinner in Florence! We will certainly return!

The staff was very friendly. The food was fantastic!! we ordered several plates to share to try many things and they were all very very good!!! The antipasto of cold cuts, cheeses with honey and sun-dried tomatoes was amazing, as the rest of of the meal, specially the second courses were very good.

Such a quaint place! It's a little off the beaten path but worth looking for. It's down a small street in front of Pitti Palace. The negroni was made from spirits crafted in Siena and was delicious. we had a crustone appetizer, wild boar ragu, mushroom/truffle tortelli and a bottle of chianti. Everything was yum! my personal preference would probably be to have had a ricotta or sausage based filling in the tortelli (vs potato), but it was still delicious. We would definitely come here again.
