6.5/10The food was a mix of good and disappointing. The risotto was good, and the Bolognese was also well prepared. However, the seafood spaghetti was mediocre: clearly made with low‑quality frozen ingredients. The dish included just one prawn, one tiny crawfish, a few Vietnamese clams, five or six small mussels, and three thin rings of small squid. Very poor for the price. The staff were attentive throughout the meal and interacted nicely with the children. Unfortunately, at the end, an unpleasant incident occurred — and the explanation given made it even worse. We noticed that every table was being offered a complimentary glass of limoncello… except ours. After paying the bill, I asked the head waiter why we were the only ones not offered it. The answers were baffling: - “Your wife asked for the bill, so we thought you were in a hurry.” - “But do you want the limoncello? I can have it served!” I explained that it wasn’t about the drink itself, but about understanding why we were t

10/10Excellent dining experience in the heart of Florence! Great waiters, quality steaks, good (and well-priced) wine list. This is the now the second time we've dined at Il Santa Maria Steakhouse and we look forward to coming back!

I do not recommend this restaurant. One of the servers, who looked African, kept pushing me to order things. I didn’t want steak, but he kept insisting, and when I said I wanted a small portion, he claimed the bone alone weighs 300g so I’d have to order at least 1.1kg. He repeatedly pushed the expensive beef cuts, so in the end I decided not to order steak at all. The ragù pasta (15€) wasn’t salty and actually suited a Korean palate really well — it was incredibly delicious. If you book through TheFork, you get 30% off. They said the discount also applies to the steak, so if you were planning on having steak, you could give it a try — just don’t get pressured by their upselling. Bread and water cost 6€ (3€ per person). And honestly… why are you asking for a tip when you didn’t even do anything? Italy is not a country where tipping is expected at restaurants.

8/10The weight of the steak did not correspond to reality. We did not recaive fiscal receipt. We did not receive the advertised discount.

7/10So this was the second time in a week, we went back because we had such a good night the first time. The ambience here is somewhat magical, it’s just one of those places. The issue for us is that the attention to detail wasn’t there this time, stupid things wrong but which add up and are a distraction to the smooth running of the experience. There was two peppers and no salt, the steaks were requested well done and both were rare/medium rare. One had to be sent back. They bought them to the table the wrong way round. All small details but just a little irritating. The food is very good quality but a little more focus needed.

10/10We were promptly greeted and seated, with a table floor two and view of the Piazza. A glass of Prosecco arrived, complimentary. Our starter of melon and prosciutto was plentiful. The mains were gnocchi and sliced beef fillet,both with a sauce rich gorgonzola and walnuts. A glass of reserve chianti added to a memorable meal.

10/10The location on the square is just stunning, the staff were so friendly and the food was amazing! The risotto which I had was probably the best I’ve ever tasted. And my friends had the canneloni which they also said was the best ever!
