This was our favorite meal in Italy. The appetizer was amazing! And came with fried bread balls (I don’t know their actual name but they were sooo good). We both had pasta dishes which were excellent and the dessert was FABULOUS! Lemon cake for me and apple cake for my husband. The staff were friendly and attentive. Great experience!

My wife and I found L'Osteria Giovanni on our honeymoon 9 years ago. We loved it then and always recommend it to those friends visiting Florence. Our visit tonight reinforced our fondness. Great food and wonderful, attentive service.

I’m sorry, but when there are so many fantastic places to eat in Florence first impressions are important. When we arrived, there was no one to greet us at the door, we were given a sigh and a shrug from the a waiter when I informed him we had a reservation. Another pushed past and TOLD us to wait in the bar. No idea if the food is good, the ambience was hot, noisy and chaotic. No thank you. We left.

On our trip to Firenze, this restaurant was recommended to us on our first night. The meal was beautiful. Never tasted food like it, the waiter’s friendly & the vibe in the restaurant is perfect. A real Tuscan restaurant. We enjoyed it so much we visited again on our last night. We ended our holiday how we started it with a fantastic meal to help us remember Firenze forever. 5 ⭐️, 6 ⭐️even

Amazing food, friendly staff. This was the best meal we had in Florence and we have been here for 5 days already! Florentine steak was perfectly cooked. Seafood pasta was also very tasty and make sure you leave room for desserts. Really good value and I really like that cover charge includes filter water. (Still or sparkling)

Food did not seem fresh and handmade. Tasted just of salt, no depth in flavor. Very disappointed. Full of tourists with bad manners.

Dining at L’Osteria was like being at your best friends house. The staff was so kind and welcoming. The bread puffs pre meal were delicious. The drinks, the appetizers and the food were fabulous. Would definitely go back if I am ever in Florence. Highly recommend this restaurant.

It was my fiancé’s birthday and once I let the maitre d know he moved us to a nice table in the back The food was excellently prepared and the owner was so nice to stop by and say hello I would recommend this to anyone visiting or living in Florence

Amazing food, ambience and service. Everyone was so welcoming, it felt like family. Don’t skip the bistecca, but I know this is why you are going! Other items are fantastic too though …
