We had an incredible experienceat IO Osteria Personale. All the staff were so welcoming and our server had a sommelier level knowledge of wine - his recommendations made the whole evening come together in harmony. The food was unique, refreshing and absolutely delicious!

We enjoyed an outstanding meal here last night. We chose the five course tasting menu, I had an informal wine paring and my partner some locally produced soft drinks - we bought a few to take home and the staff were good enough to package them for us. Every course we ate was amazing, and the service was fantastic. Really pleased we came and will definitely return next time we’re in Florence.

+2Everything we had was top-tier (the shrimp pasta was absolutely outstanding). They take traditional ingredients and flip them on their head in the best way possible. If you’re in San Frediano, skip the basic tourist spots and come here. Total 10/10 experience!

+2Great experience as it is a fine dining restaurant, but i don’t understand why you can’t order a different tasting menu if you are at the same table. Still a very nice experience.

Incredible experience. Innovative, great taste combinations, and delicious. Michelin recommended - no star but way better than most Michelin starred restaurants that we have eaten in. Taster options are amazing value. Arguably the best non-traditional dining in Florence.. and writing as a well travelled customer, among the top in Europe.

The meal was phenomenal and the service was excellent. We especially loved the pigeon. It was better than we have had in three star michelin restaurants.

It’s a rare occurrence these days where you discover so many positives come together when dining out/ & here the calm & quiet environment is comfortable & relaxing, the wait service professionally friendly & prompt - & most importantly > the modern Tuscan cooking very nearly hits every top note perfectly. Wow. I had but few personal disappointments & mostly thrilling food at reasonable prices. The pigeon main a standout - it was stunningly achieved rare , being luxuriously accompanied with a slightly sweet sauce that ensured this dish was deliciously balanced…simply perfect. Bravo! The wine card is extremely good in its range & we were astounded to be able to select a superior nest decade-aged Umbrian red for under €50 ! My quibble here though is that surprisingly they’ve only two fairly ordinary reds pouring by the glass- but when the bottled wine is as good as we enjoyed at such a reasonable price point- maybe I should just go quietly here! Highly recommende

Stellar tasting menu that allowed for flexibility with each course. Every dish was superb with great plating & inventive combinations, and best of all extremely good flavours. Somm was also very knowledgeable and gave us some great local glasses to try. One of our favourite spots in Florence!

My wife and I had a great experience! Everyone who served us was very welcoming and helpful. We opted to order à la cart vs the tasting menu. I had pasta, octopus, and my wife elected for two pasta dishes as she didn’t care for any of the 4 main course offerings. Something to note is the menu is limited with 4-5 options for each course. I appreciate a limited menu but if you prefer many options you may want to consider dining somewhere else. All three of the pastas were excellent! The octopus was some of the best I’ve had. We shared a cheese plate and a dessert along with a bottle of wine recommended by the waiter. The wine was a cab franc from a small vineyard. Our bill came to 160 euros. All the dishes looked exactly like the photos and were visually pleasing! The restaurant is small som you will want to make a reservation as all the tables were full. This was our first meal of our trip to Italy so I can’t compare but if our other meals are as good as this we are in for a treat!

The quality of the food was excellent, in flavour, presentation and creativity. The service was attentive but respectful. The house wines were lovely. Such a good change from the compulsory nonna's traditional found in most places. Bringing bread with each course was a nice touch.
