10/10It was a rainy December night, a Tuesday. No one was in the restaurant when we arrived and no one else came in after us so we were alone in the restaurant. I am always wary of eating at an empty restaurant and did not expect very much. It turned out to be one of the best meals we had in Firenze. Everything was perfect, from the pacchero to the Vitelli tonnato to the fennel/orange salad to the chocolate mousse dessert. Everything was absolutely perfect. The server and the chef were very friendly young men who made us feel completely pampered. We are definitely going back, and soon.

The food was spectacular, fine dining but with a hearty twist of authentic Italian food. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and there was soothing jazz playing. The staff are excellent - very attentive and quick. Highly recommend!

10/10Small Italian bistro just a short walk from the Pitti Palace. Our guide had recommended this restaurant so we booked a dinner reservation and thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience. Both the food and service were excellent!

10/10A 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.

8/10
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!
