    The food was amazing,especially the pasta with boar ragu and the lasagna! The white chocolate mousse with fruit was also exceptional. Service was impeccable and the restaurant is modernly beautiful with lovely background music. Enjoyed this beautiful evening.

    Small, unpretencious restaurant with very good food. We elected to sit outside even though it is a busy street with lots of car traffic, but that was our preference. Within walking distance of our hotel on Arno, Highly recommend!

    Before we were even through the door, my wife and I were greeted by the owner and one of the waiters! They seated us immediately at a nice table for two right by the front window. We were serviced throughout the evening by three gentlemen, all of whom were attentive and friendly, plus spoke English plenty well enough for easy interactions. We had a nice bottle of wine and a wonderful and delicious meal. Our pastas were flavorful and cooked perfectly. We also ordered the filet of beef, which was tender and juicy. Although we were stuffed, we splurged and ordered the chocolate lava cake with ice cream - awesome! Our evening was the best meal experience we had in our 4 days in Florence. We highly recommend Gilo Ristorante when in Florence!!

    This place got a lot of great ratings so i was excited to try it. And at first it was ok but the manager was kind of agressive in asking people to come in which was very awkward to watch. The wait staff was actually really sweet until we didn’t order the most expensive wines they recommended. The food was just ok and even though the outdoor seating is slightly terrifying with large fast cars and buses just inches behind me, we were charged extra to sit out there. Honestly given the manager and cars - it would have been so much better indoors. I’ve been told a lot of places pay for reviews and I’m guessing this one is no different.

    Hello Amanda i am so sorry, I don't agree with your words, and your accusations. As you can see, reviews can only be left by customers who have actually been to us. And I'm sorry that I disturbed you while I was explaining the menu to other customers, but so far no one has complained about my work, in fact many customers return to us. I hope you enjoy our beautiful city.

    The atmosphere of the restaurant was lovely, and the service was excellent—truly top notch. My girlfriend ordered the mushroom pasta, which unfortunately didn’t live up to our expectations. On the other hand, my steak was quite good and cooked perfectly. A quick tip for anyone ordering steak in Florence: they don’t typically salt the meat before cooking, as they prefer to let the natural flavor of the beef shine without any enhancers. Similarly, the bread is traditionally unsalted, which may not be to everyone’s taste. Overall, a pleasant dining experience with a few regional quirks to keep in mind.

    Our first dinner in Florence and our least favorite by far. Our server was very serious, didn’t smile. The food was just okay. While Tuscan bread is not flavorful as a rule, this was the worst Tuscan bread we had in Italy. It disintegrated into crumbs and then turned into mush when we tried to eat it with food. One other staff person in the restaurant did smile, but it wasn’t a particularly warm or delightful experience. The staff is young and works hard; we just don’t understand the multitude of 10* reviews.

    We arrived early in the evening and enjoyed a wonderful fillet steak and florentine stew. The grilled vegetables and roast potatoes were delicious. As it was early there were few other diners but the place developed ambiance as more people arrived. Staff were attentive and thoughtful.

    As soon as I entered the restaurant, they responded kindly. I felt good throughout the meal because he kept making sure there were no inconveniences in the middle of eating and treated me kindly until the moment I left. I ordered T-bone steak and truffle pasta, and it was the best T-bone steak I've ever had. I think I will miss this taste when I go to Korea, and I will definitely come back when I revisit Italy

    Cozy and welcoming. Staff is attentive. I had a very good artichoke soufflé, followed by a risotto with artichoke which could have been creamier but was still very good. Ended with a dessert made of white chocolate cream and berries, with some crumble dust on top, delicious. The wine selection is also tastefully curated.

    The service was attentive and the waiter answered all our questions and made excellent recommendations. The starters were quite hearty and we didn't need so many sides as we were completely stuffed! The meat dishes looked very tasty.
