10/10We went to Rome, Florence, and Amalfi coast for two weeks & our group agreed this was our favorite restaurant, food, and experience. The Florentine steak, potatoes, and pasta were the best we had in those three places I mentioned. So worth it. The service was also amazing, our server was very attentive, charming, and professional. Definitely a must if you are visiting Florence!

10/10Omg, all the food we had was so tasty. Staff very nice and professional. We recommend to choose from the menu the Tartare di Chianina served with Burrata and Truffle. And of course, it’s a must to order the Fiorentina steak…you won’t regret it! Definitely, we will go back!

9/10My wife and I are back in Florence from the U.S. We had dined at Mangiofoco before (NOT MangiofUoco) and wanted to go back. I made the reservation for the one further north with the “u” in it and only realized my mistake moments before our reservation. We decided to keep them and give Mangiofuoco a try. We are so glad we did! While a bit further away, the restaurant is very charming and inviting. We were greeted and seated promptly and the service was excellent throughout the meal. We ordered the bistecca with spinach and roasted potatoes in true Florentine style. While it was being prepared, we enjoyed an Aperol Spritz along with the prosciutto and melon appetizer. The ham was amazing and the melon was perfect! The steak was served as ordered and it was delightful. It was perhaps a little gristly and tough but the flavor was excellent. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars was the cut of beef itself. The house Chianti was nice as well. Overall, we are glad we made the mistake!

8.5/10Dinner with friends. We took 3 first courses (pappardelle Al cinghiale and Pici Cacio e Pepe) and one salad. The food, in our perception was fine, although without particular notes of merit. The waitress were accommodating and professional, yet colder than we are used to in Florence. Finally, the atmosphere is very good: the fairy lights give warm vibes, as well as the open-air cellar and the arch of cork stoppers, which provides an original element.

10/10The T-bone steak was really good! The pasta I chose was also delicious and had a great texture. It was the best choice before leaving Florence. The waiter and the boss were kind and made us feel at ease. If I come to Florence next time, I would like to visit again. Considering the kindness, I would like to give you 6 stars! :)

6/10Located close to the heart of Florence it was an easy walk from the hotel. Very casual and had a “pick any table you want” methodology even though we had to make a reservation. There was a gentleman doing some type of maintenance work IVO our table but it wasn’t to distracting and didn’t last long. Service was quick but aloof. Menu is substantial without being too large. Had the mushroom croutons and while served hot with a nice presentation the flavor was so-so. Known for their steak Florentine we ordered one and the other selection was the gnocchi. The steak was okay..not great..not life changing…just a big piece of meat. The gnocchi was served piping hot and was also equally okay. Side dishes of potatoes and vegetables were also unremarkable. This was an anywhere, any town, generic meal that checked the box of had steak Florentine in Florence but was otherwise “Meh”. A yawner of a meal served by a friendly, competent attendant.

10/10Sweet little restaurant with great food. We shared the bruschetta and prosciutto and melon. Very generous and so fresh, delicious. Then my husband had the Mangefuico pasta and I had carbonara. Again very generous portions and perfect flavour. Highly recommend this lovely spot.

10/10We were seated right away even though we were a few mins late and had to change the reservation time. When we arrived we were greeted and welcomed warmly. The staff made our experience just perfect. They suggested not to get too much food and that helped us stay on course and enjoy the dishes we did get. Florentine steak was amazing. We were not sure about the rare cook style but we were so blown away by the preparation and the quality of meat. Thank you guys for the awesome recommendation. Asparagus flan is such a cool dish. We loved it! Our 1 year old baby loved all the food and had such a great time at this place. We will recommend this place to our friends visiting Florence. Such great food and just wonderful people running the show. Thank you for a great evening.

10/10I am so full I can‘t breathe this was so good. The service was super kind, we really had an amazing night. Best recommendation we got from a local, definitely agree 100%! One of us is a chef and even he had no complains - in fact he polished off our plates when we couldn’t eat any more. Dessert was amazing too, not sure how it fit but it did!

10/10We were a group of 10 guys. Food, service and overall friendliness of the staff was unbelievable. Could not have been happier with the experience. The Florentine steak was one of the best steaks I’ve ever eaten. Recommend 100%

4.5/10Food was salty, mussels were not fresh, bread was not fresh..nothing was really fresh or delicious. The water we purchased was the only thing that did not disappoint. There is a reason this restaurant is empty during dinner time. Steer clear!

4/10Beware. We had booked through The Fork with 50 % discount offer on food. But upon payment, the restaurant claimed the offer was not valid on our menu order. We ate menu with Bruschetta and Bistecca. I got a bad beef cut. Overpriced glass of wine. Overall it was a disappoint, both service, food and price. Don’t recommend.

10/10The experience was PHE-NO-ME-NAL!! We were having difficulty because we were a big group of 14 people! They let us wait only 5 mins and the table was ready! We had an awesome service by the charming waitresses Ella & Viola! We felt like we were at home because of their care and hospitality. Definitely would come back again when in Florence! Recommended!

10/10my friends and i always study at book bar nearby, It's easier to get hungry when you work, and I'm not a good student so i always sneak out to find something eat. This Italian restaurant opens in the afternoon and accepts individual guests, and more importantly, it is tooooo delicious and cost-effective to find easily near San Marco, I think I'll be here often and tell friends and media netizen.
