    The steak was too fatty and everage. I’ve expected much more from the famously Bistecca Fiorentina

    Even though our Italian and English are limited, the staff treated us with great kindness. We enjoyed a truly wonderful night on our honeymoon – thank you so much! Both the female and male staff members were absolutely lovely.

    We ate here 4 times this week and many times over the last 6 years. We have NEVER been disappointed. Food is excellent and the staff are welcoming and friendly. Booking is recommended unless you eat early like we do. Love the Veal chop and the mixed roast. Great restaurant.

    This was everyone’s favorite meal of our whole trip. The server was very knowledgeable and kind. This is definitely the place to go for fantastic meat in Florence.

    2/10

    Service 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.

    4.5/10

    Bad 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…

    Incredible! Do yourself a favor, order the steak special for 2. One of the best steaks I have ever had(and I have had a lot!). Do not miss this restaurant when in Florence…make reservations!

    4/10

    The 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.

    V 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.

    We were five people and had dinner in this restaurant. We found it very welcoming, the staff friendly and very helpful, the food great. We ordered the fillet of cerne, which was tender and very flavorful.

    Excellent restaurant specialising in grilled meats - the pork and chicken were excellent, although I reckon most folks will come for steak. Nice authentic with dessert wine and biscotti.

    It is a very nice spot with good prices and pleasant and efficient service. The good is very good but especially a nice break from many restaurants with a lot of focus on variety of proteins offered via grills and also roasting.

    9.5/10

    This established restaurant is made up of several small rooms on different levels up or down a few steps. The centerpiece is their rotisserie which has many different meats cooking and they specialize in beefsteak. It is cooked rare and cool in the middle, Florentine style, so buyer beware. The antipasti, primi and secondi are all extremely good. Service is pleasant, engaging and very wanting to please the guests. Close to Piazza dells Republica, about four blocks.
