10/10My favourite restaurant in Florence. Second time I eat here and the pasta was as good as I remembered. Pappardelle al Cinghiale is insanely good and the tiramisú is also very good. It's a family run place and so it can take some time but they are so nice and you can see everything is made with love.

10/10This is a wonderful “mom and pop” restaurant. We had some antipasti, various pasta dishes, and a shared bistecca Fiorentina. The highlight was definitely the pasta dishes which were sublime. The steak was good, but this is probably not the place to go if your set on having a big steak dinner. Here it’s all about the pasta, made fresh in front of your eyes. The people were so nice, the house wine was good and super-reasonable, and all in all we had a great evening here.

10/10It was like having dinner in someone’s home. Food was excellent. You can see all the activity in the kitchen as you walk in. Pasta was homemade and fresh. Beef and chicken dishes were cooked to perfection.

10/10freshly made pasta in a quieter neighbourhood. Pasta made according to order not in batches which adds to the quality. Really friendly service and the restaurant itself had feel of a living room. Great atmosphere and we agreed that it was the best meal we had in Florence during our stay there. Very reasonable prices too. Strongly recommend.

9.5/10The food was great, service was friendly and family, friendly environment. Our pasta was fresh and the fillet with green pepper sauce was cooked to perfection. On top of all that they even had a kids area for our young ones to play in. Would definitely return.

10/10The most delicious freshest pasta one could possibly get - each dish is it's own treat! One meal is simply not enough. Frequented by locals. Husband and wife run. Warm friendly atmosphere - child friendly. There are many fantastic food options in Florence, but this should be top of the list.

10/10Dory and Mauro serve their diners from their hearts. Fresh pasta is a hit. We came back for the ravioli and the oil, garlic and chilli flavour was also bombastic! My son (10 years old) enjoyed his fried chicken and chips, his time watching Dory cook, playing in the kid-friendly area and being well-looked after in this family-run restaurant. Even though we only had 3 nights in Florence our son made us go back there to enjoy their hospitality and excellent food again! Grazie mille!!!

10/10The service was fantastic—appropriately attentive. Our meals were delicious—light pasta, with wild boar, tomatoes and the ravioli were all outstanding. House wine was great and desserts were a real treat. Cannot wait to return!!

10/10This hidden gem was recommended to us by a local… and we’re so thankful she did! All four of us had fresh, delicious meals… starting with tuscan appetizers, and enjoying hand made ravioli with we were able to watch being prepared through the glass window. The prosseco and wine were very good, and all the pasta dishes arrived hot and perfectly cooked. The owner handles everything in the restaurant, serving tables, handling reservations, delivering the delicious plates that were prepared just right… ALL with a friendly smile! This is a superb family establishment not to miss! Thank you for a top memory for us, from Firenze!
