10/10We’ve eaten here 3-4 other times but this time we were in a beautiful room covered in wine bottles and got a tour of the wine cellar where we could see the ruins of the Roman Amphitheater! Amazing! Food and service as wonderful as always!

9.5/10The food was excellent. We did push the boat out, and ordered the bistecca, which was very nicely done. Our waiter went out of his way to make the experience a pleasant one, also making an informed and sensible suggestion to help us navigate the extensive wine list. We’d love to visit again

10/10I’ve had the pleasure of dining at some of the most highly rated restaurants in the world and this place impressed me tremendously. We had two of the pasta dishes, a risotto dish and the bistecca and they were amazing. Enjoyed it with a 2019 Poggio Al Tesoro which paired perfectly. Service was outstanding too.

9/10Lovely restaurant and such friendly staff! They went the extra mile and as it was my birthday they gave us a candlelit dessert which was delicious and thoughtful! The florentine steak was a little fatty for my liking but other food was great and a fab aperol spritz!

8.5/10The restaurant is geared to tourists not italians. I found the food tasty, but too salty. THe plates are nicely prepared and visually appealling. However for an italian they are over prepared. The service was not so attentive.

10/10One of our best meals in Italy. The chicken wrapped in prosciutto was divine, outshined only by the truffle potatoes. We also loved the beef carpaccio and pasta with wild boar. Delicious!!

10/10My wife and I were on honeymoon here and were recommended to go to Francesco Vini by a few friends who raved about this place. We made reservations and were greeted by Fabio and treated like special guests immediately upon our arrival. Our server was incredibly attentive and made some great wine recommendations. We started with the Coscoli con Prosciutto e Stracchino and the Baccala' alla Fiorentina su Pappa al Pomodoro. I have never had fish cooked so perfectly in my life and the tomato and bread soup paired wonderfully with it. We followed this with the Bistecca alla Fiorentina. If you don’t order this, you are missing out. It was cooked and seasoned perfectly and I can’t imagine ever having a better steak Florentine. We finished with Affogato al Caffe’ which was exactly what we wanted it to be. A perfect way to end a perfect meal. The service, ambiance, and food made this one of the best meals we have had in Italy. We will be recommending all of our friends here as well in the future.
