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!

2/10Poor food, €6 for 4 pieces of stale bread that was just put down on the table, service poor as well, felt very much like a tourist trap, ruined a nice evening.

9/10
The food was very good. Everything we had was delicious. Not quite the gourmet that we had in Tuscany for the past month, but close. The wait staff was charming and friendly. The ambiance was lovely. We sat inside. We prefer a little quiet, but the outside dining offers the view and the lively atmosphere. The only complaint is the quick turnaround. Florence being molto touristic, we did not enjoy the relaxing meal with a bottle of wine that we are accustomed to. No sooner was the appetizer cleared and they were bringing the next course. I would say you have to order your next courses after your antipasti if you want to slow it down.

Server very rude. I did not want to accept my fork discount, the manager came to us and told us just this one time. Food average nothing memorable.

6.5/10The whole 'discount' concept is a sham. Note that there is an 'a la carte' menu - meaning that you will get an entirely different menu if you reserve through the fork. Short story is if it sounds too good to be true, then it is....

2/10Waiter tried to persuade me to buy a bottle of wine for 125 euros instead of the 75 euros for bottle of wine I wanted. They were very reluctant to change our glasses for a new bottle of wine also costing 75 euros.. The new wine was from 2019 instead of 2018 like the first bottle but you need new glasses to test the difference

5/10Server was pleasant enough. Some of the bread for the starter was stale. The risotto was not done well, and with bits of seafood shells prevalent throughout. Mussels seemingly large-shelled came out the size of your thumbnail - didn't think Italian mussels were so puny. I spoke with a fellow customer and she informed me, unbeknownst to what we ate, "not to get the risotto" - she had to vomit it up. I thought maybe she was a food snob, but - without the vomiting part - she confirmed what my wife already experienced. I think they are taking advantage of being located on the Piazza, but I think Olive Garden would have been a better choice.

5/10Staff were friendly at first very inviting. Then tried to sell most expensive wines. Bread was hard. Nice location for a drink but I wouldn't eat there again.

5/10Like tourist restaurants in Istanbul. It is not a place where you can perceive Italian culture and taste. It is a soulless place but the view is beautiful.
