    The staff was so friendly and attentive. Our server had a very large, very busy table next to us that required so much of his attention but he never forgot our little table for two. I don’t know how he did it. I used to wait tables and I would have lost my mind if I were him haha. Ultimately I ordered too much food and my young son was exhausted from the day and was falling asleep at the table so our server packed up our leftovers for us. Now I have to figure out how to reheat filet mignon in our hotel room!

    Service was incredible - the staff went out of their way to welcome us and made great suggestions. The 3 of us shared a Bistecca alla Fiorentina and 2 pasta dishes. We chose the papardelle with duck ragout and the waiter suggested we try the pici with shaved truffles - by far our favorite pasta dishes in Italy so far!! Delicious! Wine was wonderful, lemon cake was wonderful - we ate waaaay too much. Highly highly recommend!

    Spend my birthday there and is satisfied with the Florentine steak I ordered, which is medium rare. The steak is crispy on the outside and tender inside, not bloody which is how I like it. The truffle spaghetti also tastes great with good texture and sufficient cream to coat the pasta. We were served free fried bread which are very flavorful. Lastly free delightful biscotti and the lemon sorbet to end the day. Thank you for making my day special

    Excellent excellent & exceptional We have very good steak in nyc, but this restaurant is just wow. Our family of 4 had the artichoke salad, 2kg of florentine steak,, potatoes, a side of green veges and 3 different desserts. It was all perfect and the service was top notch. This place is a gem away from the busy tourist area but close enough to walk from the duomo. Just go. You won’t regret it. It may be your best meal in Florence.

    It was our second time dining in this restaurant and as always the food was very good. This visit is memorable as i have received my dessert cake with a lighted candle and a birthday song from the waiters and people who are also dining that night. This restaurant is recommended.

    Top 3 restaurants in all of Florence. Beautify decorated restaurant with plenty of space. The food is excellent, with a wide variety of items to choose from. This restaurant also has an extensive wine list. Don't miss this meal if you are in Florence.

    The staff at di Giovanni’s is the friendliest and most welcoming. As soon as you’re seated you are greeted with a glass of Prosecco. They bring little extras throughout the dinner delicately addictive bits of fried pasta and fried artichoke. I had the tortelli with pear and pecorino to start and then some finely sliced carpaccio with truffles. For dessert one of my colleagues and I had the apple cake special. It was a bit crispy on the outside soft on the inside. I have had a wonderful experience every time I have been to di Giovanni’s and this was another confirmation of why I should keep coming back.

    L'Osteria di Giovanni offers a fantastic dining experience with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The service is attentive, and the food is a perfect blend of traditional Italian flavors with a refined touch. If you're in Florence and looking for an authentic yet slightly upscale trattoria experience, this is a must-visit!

    The steak truly lives up to its reputation, with a slight char on the outside but tender and soft inside, and a delicious beef flavor. Additionally, the baked potato wedges are top-notch, the best potatoes I've ever tasted!

    This restaurant exceeded every expectation. We made a reservation and were sat immediately upon arrival at a table with our name on it. The staff is bustling, working very hard and everyone was so lovely that we encountered. Food was unbelievable. The place was packed on a Monday night with locals and visitors. This meal kicked off our trip in amazing fashion and this restaurant deserves all the praise! You will not regret this meal, I would return in a heartbeat. We got the veal chop, caprese, pear tortellini type dish, kale ragoux and lemon cake.
