Lovely food, one of the best steaks we had in Florence
10
The food was all excellent - except the bread which was average at best. Everything else though was fantastic. The steak with truffles was amazing, and although we didn't have the steak for 2, many tables around us did and everyone was commenting on how great it was. Also, the two pasta dishes at our table were among the best we have had in Italy. Overall great food experience

We had a wonderful time at Boccanegra! The staff was extremely accommodating and even offered us some extra treats as we were there close to closing time. The food was amazing and fairly priced as well!

This was the only restaurant on our two week trip that made special accommodations for our honeymoon (I put it in the notes of every reservation) our server, Alex, was knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. Both the pasta and the steak were fantastic. This was the best dinner we had in Florence.

This was one of the most wonderful dining experiences since moving to Firenze! The staff, service, ambiance, and menu were fabulous! We Celebrated our wedding anniversary and they made this a very special evening. Thank you Boccanegra. We will return!

From the staff to the quality of the food it was a lovely evening that could not have been better. We arrived as a family of 3 with our 8 year old daughter and were immediately put at ease, with also helpful recommendations for the food. Every dish was memorable and added to the evening, with the quality options for wine (also including a quick visit to their wine cellar, which if you get the chance is well worth it). Overall really enjoyable and would love to go back next time we visit Florence..

One of the better meals we had in Florence, great pasta, filet and dessert to go with some great wine. Could have used a little more help with guidance on the wines, but we blindly picked some winners!

4.0
We arrived and were eventually seated once eye contact was made! Then left for 40 minutes without drinks or our order taken. Twice we had to ask for dishes that people in our party of 6 had ordered but not arrived , the waiting staff seemingly unaware that people were sitting with no food and others had received theirs. We ordered a white wine and received a rose albeit it was very nice. Need I say more? .

The Server, I wish I knew his name, He was so professional and made the dining experience elevated
8.0
This restaurant was a complete rip-off. Their efforts to present a fine dining experience are overshadowed by the fact that it is has outside seating on a sidewalk. We were overcharged greatly for a half litre bottle of Chianti and a Neapolitan steak. The bill, when we received it, was a complete shock. The steak was undercooked - sorry, but medium rare isn’t rare, there’s a difference - and we had to send it back to have it done properly. In the end, I had buyer’s remorse for going there. We wanted a special meal on our last night in Florence, but a meal for two people should not cost Can $255, which is what it came to. Your booking site should indicate the average price more accurately.

from the moment we arrived we felt we were somewhere special - a warm welcome from every member of staff we met, an amazing venue with fantastic ambience, and food and drink was out of the ordinary. A lovely, special meal!

Boccanegra is more than just a restaurant; it's a true gastronomic journey into the heart of Tuscany. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by a warm and attentive team, ready to take care of every detail. The interior blends Florence’s historic charm with a cozy, modern atmosphere – the perfect setting for a romantic dinner or a special occasion. The highlight of our evening was the bistecca alla Fiorentina – it was the absolute pinnacle of the meal. The steak was cooked to perfection: crispy and golden on the outside, yet juicy and tender on the inside, with a rich, intense flavor that simply melted in our mouths. It wasn’t just a dish; it was a true Tuscan culinary masterpiece. Additionally, the sommelier chose the perfect wine to accompany the steak, elevating the flavors and creating an impeccable harmony between the food and the drink.

6.0
Came to this place due to the good reviews. We usually prefer non touristy places and, unfortunately, this place was full of tourists. Food was good but nothing special. Service was lovely but the ambiance was lacking. So many better places to eat in Florence.
6.5
Great atmosphere and service. But the food was not as expected, the Bistecca was very chewy. Price did not correspond to what we were expecting, its more expensive that it should.

Everything was just perfect. Our group of 12 had a blast. Thanks to Alessandro and the team at Boccanegra.

Awful food, worst in Florence and the service was awful. Don’t come here
8.0
Overall, the food was great but I would love for a highly regarded Florentine steakhouse to have top notch EVO to pair with their steak. However, it seems that most places (not just in Florence) have complete disregard for the freshness and quality of their olive oil. It's a worldwide phenomena. All that being said, the food was delicious and the service was adequate. Thanks.
