The place is trendy, indoor temperature was cool.There was a large group dinner which was a bit noisy. When they finally left, the noise level went down significantly. The staff was super attentive. I had a beef tartare; the capers had too much vinegar so I would have preferred them on the side rather than on top of the meat. I then had pasta which was super tasty but arrived cold. The wine list was good but only 2 reds to choose from by the glass. All together dinner was good.

We made reservations based on the other reviews and we were not disappointed. The restaurant had a really nice ambience, we were sitting upstairs overseeing the rest of the restaurant. The service of the servers was super attentive, there was a minor misunderstanding due to our poor Italian we tried to practice :-) but our waiter went above and beyond to fix it. The food was delicious, the pasta with porcini was mouthwatering and the steak florentine was outstanding, cooked exactly as we specified. The restaurant filled up quickly, but even though it was crowded we were able to enjoy ourselves the whole evening. We were there with our small dog as the restaurant allows to bring it dogs. In summary, I would definitely highly recommend this place to anyone whether tourists (like us) or to locals as it seemed that the restaurant was being visited by many of those as well that evening.

The food was disappointing. The Wagyo hamburger was dry and cold. The Tuna in curry was bad, I didn’t eat it and no one asked me why.

The very delicious meals and sitting outside on the terrace with not many people around (we dined quite late) made this visit a perfect night out for us.

A good restaurant outside the beaten path, open on a Sunday evening. The menu was OK, some surprising offers (burger), but the tagliatelle (not restaurant-made) with vongole were good, as was the very properly made melanzana with zucchini. My partner, on the other hand, had a dry, half roasted chicken with some cooked vegetables slapped on a large plate. The wines are largely overpriced, with few less than €50 per bottle. If there wasn't a 30% reduction applied to the meal, the whole thing would have been ridiculously overpriced. It was thus, luckily, just very overpriced, like your usual tourist trap.

Food was either too salty or unsalted. Risotto was al dente and not creamy and lacked flavor. Shrimp was also bland. Caprese salad 2 basil leaves & unripe tomatoes. Service was lackluster, although they did accommodate a large group at the last minute.

We had a fabulous meal! The restaurant was quiet on a Wednesday night. The wait staff was very attentive and helpful when ordering. An English version of the menu was available in the back of the menu. They were very accommodating to people that speak little Italian. The charcuterie board was very tasty. We had the Florentine steak and it was amazing as well. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Touristic and expensive. I would go elsewhere, on the other side of the Arno River. But, if you are looking for a dinner across the hotel, and don't want to move, then it's decent.

The menu and prices are different than described on google (prices much higher !) Quality of the meat was quite bad and the prices are way too high in general. The tomato soup was not amazing and not a soup. The fish tartar was ok.

Food was very good. Service was kind and attentive. Atmosphere was lovely. Only issue is they forgot to give us the discount we should have had for reserving through The Fork. We only noticed after we had paid and left so we did not want to bother going back to rectify the issue.

We went to this restaurant as it is in the neighbourhood we are visiting, but I would gladly travel many kilometres to sample their exquisite food. The quality and presentation were top notch. The prices were reasonable for the quality received. We had a vegetable stuffed squid dish which was as unique in my experience as it was delicious. Our waiter spoke excellent english and helped explain the details of the dishes. we only wanted a glass of wine and he selected a pinot gris that went wonderfully with the food. We will return!
