The service was top tier here. The food was great. The house wines (white and red) were great and paired with the food well. We enjoyed a great meal here. I will definitely come back to this restaurant in the future

Great people, great food, great location. Very busy and understaffed so service was slow. They provided complimentary drinks and great company during the wait.

We enjoyed the way the woman runs this restaurant , Caterina, came over several times to check on things.. very attentive . Our Waiter could not have been more friendly or more Professional He was waiting a bunch of tables but still made us feel like we’re were his only patrons. The staff made us feel very special. Now… the food ….was excellent!!! We were here. A year ago and a major reason why we returned to Florence was to eat at Osteria Giovanni. I told our driver about our experience the next day and even though he was from Umbria … he knew and agreed how good Osteria Giovanni’s is. A first class Restaurant for sure .

Host and staff are very friendly, courteous (treating us as valued customers), and attentive. We ordered only the famous T-bone steak (about 1.2 kilos for 2 people) and we were very full. The staff respected our order size (did not show any signs of unpleasantness or try to push us to order more, although the steak itself cost nearly US$100). The table cover fees includes water (still or sparkling), with unlimited refill, which was highly appreciated!

Very beautiful restaurant with traditional Italian courses done in their own unique way. Eggplant appetizer was my favorite. Please come hungry there were too many courses for us so we just had the three. If you are a vegetarian understand that the pancetta has gelatin in it.

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.

I made our reservations 90 days in advance and couldn’t wait to get there. 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 …

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!!
