8/10I've been here before and the experience is nice, but I'm a little off-put by what they are selling as "costata" what I received was the "controfiletto", not the ribeye which is another steak further up the cow. it was good, but not as good since I was expecting a ribeye

10/10Lovely restaurant. We came a few years ago, had a great experience, so when we were back in Florence, booked again. Table was ready upon arrival. Service was excellent and food was all delicious. The pizza cippolata is very good and all our fillet steaks cooked to perfection. The discount was automatically deducted 👌🏼

10/10The service (the server in particular) was excellent! The seating in the open air was wonderful. The food was absolutely delicious! We went twice during our brief stay in Florence, and all was terrific both visits. 😊

7.5/10The restaurant looked really promising and had great reviews. We had seen the small entrance passing by and noticed the Florentine steak hanging on display in the cooler. The service was good as was the wine, etc. We were given a choice of French or Italian steak Florentine style and we chose the Italian. The waitress brought the steak out to show us before it was cooked and we agreed we were happy with the size, etc. The cooked steak was cooked to the recommended medium. It was actually quite chewy and not as good as we had experienced in Montepulciano a couple of nights earlier. I couldn't fault anything else regarding the restaurant, but we were disappointed with the Florentine steak.

8/10We ate here twice. Very enjoyable with food very tasty. Service was efficient. They have a great pizza oven and they serve delicious pizzas. Also had a roast chicken with herbs and the pork ribs. Well worth a visit.

10/10Found this little restaurant a few years back and would not visit Florence without having a meal here. Food is always excellent and plentiful, service is spot on and it’s VERY reasonably priced for such a popular tourist destination. Don’t let the facade fool you. Once past the reception it opens up into lots of different eating areas including alfresco dining, and it’s not overcrowded with tables! Make sure you reserve a table as it can get booked out. Guarantee, you won’t walk away hungry.

10/10We had a wonderful evening dinner here. Our server, Dahlia, was so attentive and was able to make great recommendations. She was also very accommodating to our request with our order. Our children were given some colouring pens and paper which kept them happy and entertained. We were treated to a complimentary glass of Prosecco. Food was absolutely delicious and very reasonably priced. We could not have been more happy with our experience! Thank you!

10/10The food was absolutely amazing, you have to get the filet with the Vin Santo sauce with pistachios. Med rare was cooked to perfection! Also the wine selection is very nice.

9/10The staff are cheerful and welcoming! They are helpful too. They tried to explain the difference of each kind of beef. We had a happy and experienced night of Florence’s steak!!

10/10Came here on the recommendation of our B&B host, Marco. I usually have more to say but this place was absolutely fabulous. Been to a lot of steakhouses, eaten some really expensive steaks, NEVER has a raw cut of meat been brought to the table for our approval before cooking. Until now. Incredible food, great staff, just absolutely one of the best dining experiences of my life. Could not recommend it more.

8.5/10This restaurant is a real surprise. It looks very small from the front but it goes back a long way from the road. It has a great wine and food selection. The portions were of a great size and the meat was cooked to perfection. Great find and especially good for Bistecca a La Fiorentina

6.5/10The food was good. However, our waitress was not friendly and not helpful with explaining the menu. A very loud group of young men came in to the restaurant. They were screaming and yelling and tossing things at the table. And pounding their glasses on the table. No restaurant staff told them to be quiet. Ruined the dining experience for us and other guests around us.

2/10Such a pretty restaurant but based on the service and food quality, don't come here. Service was terrible. Took an hour to order and get water. Appetizers didnt come for another hour. They charge for bread/cover charge per person. Ordered from daily specials- only vegetable lasagna was good. Tripe, burger, chicken burger, fries, truffle egg dish, soup, all mediocre. Didnt get the wine till the middle if the meal and they gave us their terrible house wine. We ordered off the wine menu. Bathrooms were also dirty, the doors to one of the stalls barely opens/closes. Just overall terrible. So not recommended.

9/10Neighborhood Gem,Excellent beef filets and steaks. The house wine was some of the best Tuscan wines we tried during our trip. My kids who happen to be fussy about food enjoyed the burger and Margherita pizza.

10/10A short walk from the main train station is this hidden pearl. Spacey, bright and welcoming atmosphere though awesome decor and the lush seating area in the indoor garden. Extremely friendly staff members are helpful and efficient. Food was definitely outstanding and far from average. Great find in a city full of tourist traps.

10/10It might look small from the outside, but it is a very spacious restaurant in a very good location, it's right in the city centre and near the train station. The staff is very welcoming and capable, you will not feel disregarded or overlooked even when it's full. The food was great and there is an ample variety of wine and great stout beer. The prices are also optimal, very good balance between price and quality,and the atmosphere is cozy, yet elegant. I recommend booking a table before going, because it can get busy by 9 p.m.

8.5/10Bread to start was a little stale. Sample cheese and meat board was amazing as was the veggie lasagna and the filet. Saw some others order the Queen and it looked incredible but would feed 2-3.
