2/10Service was slow. The options for gluten free dining were limited. It took 30 minutes to be advised that I wouldn’t be able to have the potatoes because of cross contamination: but we were still served a whole plate of potatoes and my husband also had some on his plate. The full plate went to waste. The vegetables were frankly awful! Completely overcooked and inedible. Husband had half a chicken which was tasty, but he was very ill that night, and we suspect he had food poisoning. The mushroom risotto was okay. The toasted smoked cheese and ham was literally just that! A large plate of warm cheese and ham!!! Not the best end to our holiday.

4.5/10Bad service, long wait for our food! The ravioli was cold both the sauce was cold, the ham plate it wasn’t something special … the meat was ok but without garnish, the dessert it was ok not something special! And at the end we payed cash we left the money at the table with Tip even though the food was bad and because there were people and we waited how long for the waitress to come and because the next table did exactly the same we got up… and the waitress insulted us that I didn't pay in front of the crowd!! Just a mess…

4/10The foods and wine were pretty basic. The service was somehow offensively an-attentive. I had to ask to take my order even I was the second customer at that time. After that, pretty scarce attention. There was a crushed mosquito on the wall, and a household fly was flying all the way even in March. I hope it is the basic in Firenze, otherwise this place’s evaluation is a bit high.

5.5/10The restaurant is in the middle of the famous area of the city.The dishes was ordinary for Italian cucina.The waiter added 5 Euro to our bill without any explanation (it can be a tip but it must explain us)

10/10I cannot tell you enough how much we adored this place. After looking for AGES for a restaurant that does bistecca florentine (traditional steak) for a decent price with a chic vibe, we found this little gem. It has a gorgeous, unpretentious atmosphere and a fun, lovely team and chefs, all with a bangin’ steak, range of chiantis and incredible other dishes including a cheese soufflé ????. This restaurant made our trip. Go go GO, you won’t regret it!

4.5/10Service was awful! Our waitress ignored us the whole time but managed to serve a three course a la carte meal with changes to the couple next to us in less time than it took her to serve us two courses from a set menu (2.5 hours for two courses!). We waited over 40 minutes for our dessert (third course in the set menu) so long that we decided not to bother and asked for the bill instead when we were eventually able to get her attention. She charged us for the dessert she never served.

6.5/10V slow service. The steak came slightly cold. It was a disappointment because this restaurant came with recommendation. Probably their service would be better outside rush hours.

9.5/10Family dinner of 4. Our server was very educated on the food & wine and very was attentive and met all our needs. The food was beyond our expectations!! We ordered the Bistecca alla Fiorentina. The BEST steak we have ever had!! It melted in our mouths like butter. Delizioso ????.
