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.

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 …

I’ve eaten at this restaurant three times now and each time has been wonderful. The staff is so nice and inviting. They know the menu very well (and the menu has changed each time I’ve been). The food is amazingly prepared and presented. I have never had and do not expect I’ll ever have a bad experience here.

Excellent service, food and setting! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted warmly, then provided with great service and superb food. This was definitely the best meal of our trip. Only regret is that we didn’t book this restaurant on our first night, because we would have returned the following night too. Highly recommended!!

Our meal was amazing. We arrived a few minutes before our reservation and they were kind enough to let us wait at the bar before our table was ready. The table side sea bass filet was perfecto, tuna pistachio delicioso and the lemon cake dessert was the best part. Would highly recommend.

L’Osteria di Giovanni was hands-down one of the highlights of our trip to Florence. From the moment we walked in, we felt like family. The service was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming without ever being overbearing. The food? Absolutely divine. Every dish we ordered—from the handmade pastas to the perfectly cooked Florentine steak—was bursting with authentic flavor and crafted with care. The truffle dishes were especially memorable, and the complimentary prosecco and biscotti at the end were a thoughtful, delightful touch. The setting is cozy yet elegant, blending tradition with charm. It’s clear this place is loved by locals and travelers alike—and for good reason. If you’re in Florence and want an authentic meal in a place that feels like home, do not miss L’Osteria di Giovanni. Bravo and mille grazie to the entire team!

What a great place! Food was unbelievably good starting with goose carpaccio (!) and the freshest asparagus and zucchini blossoms as recommended by our waiter, because they were in season. Steak florentine- yes, as I read in a guidebook, it was “legendary”. My daughter said the lemon cake transported her. Vin santo, wine, limoncello, of course. Our table was by the bar, very lively and fun, waitstaff were funny and genial, excellent service. Not only all this but they let us stuff our luggage into a side room because our train was so late. Really friendly, helpful people. We felt genuinely welcomed and taken care of. Can’t recommend it enough.

We celebrated our daughter’s birthday at the restaurant. The staff did a great job to make it memorable. And the food is delicious, the best rivolli I have ever had, and the Florentine steak is awesome!

I had Florence Bistecca alla fiorentina, which was really delicious and well-roasted. The salad and pasta I ordered together were great. The complimentary dessert (ㅣ cantucci and lemon sorbet) was also good.

Our server, Kejde, can't remember the correct spelling, but his name sounds exactly like KD. Marvelous young man, ingratiating, upbeat, very professional. His service was impeccable. The restaurant is beautiful. Lots of colorful art on the walls. Food was excellent. We loved everything about it. Going back the night before we leave Florence.
