Unbelievably rude and arrogant towards tourists. Unfortunately (and unexpectedly for our waiter) I understand Italian…

This restaurant was recommended by a local who said it was “very romantic “ as we were celebrating an occasion. Did not find the ambience romantic at all. The decor is sparse and lighting too bright for an evening meal. Service was ok. We had to ask our server to bring olive oil & ground pepper which should be standard. We arrived when it was empty although filled up later. The food was good but not outstanding.

Terrible food, excessive cover charge (€3.50) and price of drinks (€4 for a cappuccino) to make up for the 30% discount. Dishes were very salty and of poor quality. I was brought a dish which I had not ordered and they also tried to charge me for it at the end of the meal on top of the food I had actually ordered. If you want to eat decent food, I would recommend you avoid this restaurant.

Unfortunately, a 'tourist trap'. Decidedly underwhelming quality of food. Mamma Gina, if still running the place, would be furious.

The booking was made about one month in advance. The table was assigned at the corner of back room, without windows. The service took long to realize that we were there. The food was just disappointing. The place lives around the shadow of its great past.

Our waiter was good but didn't understand that I wanted to order the 1-kilo steak, he kept saying No, that is for two people. We had been to this restaurant before and I had ordered the 1 kilo steak the last time. Not sure why he would not let me order it, instead I had to order the smaller steak. The food was delicious, but disappointed that I could not orderthe larger steak.

This was a hidden gem of a restaurant that we were so glad to get a table. Just off the river in Florence it was on a small street within walking distance from many local hotels. The ambience was white tablecloths and polished silver and sparking glassware. Our server was attentive and our entire dinner was excellent. Would highly recommend this for couples or small groups wanting an intimate and cozy dinner. Once you see their front window you know you are in for a special treat. Definitely qualifies for a repeat visit.

Food was okay, not bad but definitely could have been better in my opinion, idk the bread we were given didn’t come with any oil or salt, the mamma pasta was good I felt the pasta was a bit stiff my other half got the ravioli with the cherry tomato sauce it was good but nothing spectacular we didn’t have a huge meal maybe we would have been more impressed with main courses, staff was very friendly but we wouldn’t go back and was a bit disappointed

My only issue is they did not take the 30% off the check as was mentioned and indicated when I booked the reservation through the fork.

Visited Mamma Gina on my first trip to Florence in 1985 and have been back many times. Two blocks from the Ponte Vecchio, it tends to attract more locals than tourists.
