4.5/10Disappointing Christmas Day Meal We booked this restaurant for Christmas Day, hoping for a festive and relaxing meal after a day of sightseeing. Upon arrival, we asked to be seated inside, as there were several empty tables. However, we were directed to the glass-enclosed outdoor area, which was acceptable but not ideal. After sitting for about 5-7 minutes, we asked the waiter for the menu, and his response was a loud sigh, as if he was reluctant to serve us. This felt rude and unprofessional. The Florentina Scotta steak was the highlight of the meal—tender and flavorful. The tomato soup was not your typical soupy-style soup,carbonara pasta was just okay—nothing remarkable. Service was slow throughout the meal, and while the atmosphere was decent, it lacked the festive charm we had hoped for on Christmas Day. Overall, the service and seating experience were disappointing, especially for such a special occasion.Wouldn't rush to come back

9.5/10"We had the pleasure of dining at La Bistecca - Osteria Fiorentina, and the experience was absolutely unforgettable! The quality of the meat was simply extraordinary, cooked to perfection to enhance the authentic flavors of Florentine cuisine. The staff was extremely friendly and attentive, making every moment pleasant and relaxing. The cozy and traditional atmosphere of the restaurant made us feel at home, with a touch of elegance that made everything even more special. We highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an authentic culinary experience in the heart of Florence. We can’t wait to return!"

6.5/10The service guys were quite different. One was very quiet and distanced, sometimes stressed and a bit angry, the other one always pretended to be my best friend, but in a very unauthentic way… The food was good and the ambiance to!

7/10The traditional bisteca and Chianti wine were delicious. We also had gnocchi, lasagne, spaghetti bolognese and fiorentina pizza, all of which were not at par with what we’ve eaten at other restaurants.

10/1012 of us spent a wonderful night at this restaurant. The steaks were great, and we were served by Abano. He was the best host ever. I am so glad that we chose this restaurant over all others in Florence.

4.5/10Disappointed in how long they took to bring us our food. We were there before the crowd and somehow the many tables got their food first. Steak was average. I could have gone somewhere else for a better steak. Gave us a wrong order after we told them it wasn’t ours. They insisted it was. Pasta was probably the only thing not disappointing.

4/10The steak was absolutely terrible. Chewy and tough. We warned other diners not to order it. I told our waiter it was really bad. He just shook his head and walked away. The restaurant is outdoors with poor fans and a mist system. It was very uncomfortable. We were totally disappointed in this experience. Also they overcharged us by $20.

8/10Simply amazing location on the piazza. The food was incredible with the exception of the lamb chops (a lot of work without much payoff). The only issue was the waitstaff which seemed like they would have rather been on the pitch.

5.5/10Staff was nice, view was great, but food was very disappointing. We ordered a very expensive steak (140euros/kg) because wanted to splurge and try the famous Florence steak. I do not recommend. It was probably one of the worst steaks I’ve ever had. Tasted like it was boiled, no flavor at all, came very under cooked (asked for medium rare and it was blue rare). Was so tough we could barely cut it with a steak knife. I thought Kobe was supposed to be tender. I think this place is a tourist trap.

8/10The restaurant was very pretty inside. The service was very good. The pasta was delicious. We did not receive our 20% off. The steak was fair for the price.
