The staff was extremely accommodating in cooking our Florentine steak little more to our liking. Anyone familiar with Florentine steak knows it is served very rare and the staff was wonderful about not making us feel uncomfortable with our preference.

We've been coming here for 8 years and it was always at the top of our list...a must visit for us, our family and friends. Sorry to say that the food quality and preparation has fallen drastically out of favour. Doesn't appear to be sufficient skill in the kitchen any longer. Beef and pasta dishes are poor and appetizers are tasteless and awkwardly presented. So sorry to see you go Il Paiolo...perhaps success has destroyed another Florence institution.

Food was delicious and we booked again before leaving the restaurant. Service was excellent and although it got very hot inside the restaurant they ensured air conditioning was turned on for us. We highly recommend! Thank you

Really good food, service and location. You hear stories about how it’s tourist-priced, but to be honest, even if you walk further out, the prices are similar—maybe €4/5 cheaper. For the portion size and quality of the food, it was bellisimo. The fillet I ordered was melt-in-your-mouth delicious, followed by the potatoes and the garlic butter spinach. The Bolognese was tomato-rich and delicious, and the wild boar was full of flavours.

Michele and the staff were excellent. We got the bruschetta and octopus to start and they were both the best we’ve had in Italy. We shared a steak and gnocchi for our main and born weee delicious. Great place to eat while in Florence for sure!
