10/10Each of us really enjoyed our meals - pasta with wild boar was a standout and polenta appetizer. Absolutely loved the candlelit ambiance (real candles!) - will be back before our trip is over. Highly recommend.

And we're so glad the candlelit atmosphere added a special touch to your evening (yes, real candles make all the difference!). We’ll be thrilled to welcome you back before your trip ends. Until then, thank you and safe travels!

7.5/10
The food was good. The service was a bit rushed and some food was taken away before we finished. Also, we didn't get the 30% discount by booking through The Fork. We paid full.price. Not value for money unfortunately.

10/10The 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.

5/10We'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.
