What a delightful restaurant. Fantastic staff, Carmella and Chris made us feel welcome and looked after us impeccably, all with smiles. The food was outstanding, we had the tasting of pecorini cheeses and jams, then the crispy octopus and beef, lard and truffle which were all delicious. Thank you so much 🙏🏻

7/10another MÉDIOCRE RESTAURANT, yet praised by the reviews @THE FORK OR TRIP ADVISOR I simply wonder how people judge the food or its only the necessity of filling the stomach
Osteria Cancello dei Macci • Owner
Hello Julie We’re genuinely surprised by your comment, especially since the vast majority of our guests recognize the quality of our food and service. In our restaurant, people don’t just “fill their stomachs” — they eat well, with fresh ingredients and dishes prepared with care and passion every day. You cleaned all the plates with bread and deboned all the steak, it didn't look like you didn't like the food. We always welcome constructive feedback, but superficial judgments don’t reflect the reality of our work or the experience we offer to those who truly know us.

7.5/10Too expensive for the food especially rind delivered. Big part of the meat was bone, fat, burned or not enough cooked. So from 1.6 kg meat there left maybe only 0.6 kg to eat. But you pay for 1.6 kg. So at the end, everybody is still hungry.
Osteria Cancello dei Macci • Owner
Hi Onur, we appreciate your comment, but we’d like to clarify a few things. Here in Florence, meat is served the traditional way — by weight before cooking, including bone and fat, which are essential for authentic flavor. This is how real Florentine-style cuts are meant to be enjoyed. We use only top-quality meat, carefully selected from trusted suppliers, and our guests usually value both the taste and the portion. We’re sorry if this didn’t meet your expectations, but this is how genuine Florentine cuisine is done — and we’re proud to keep that standard. I understand that’s you don’t know much about Florentine cuisine and the meat, I suggest you to explore more before making reviews with no sense Thanks for having dinner at our restaurant, you have a beautiful family Hape to see you again ☺️

+2Very very beautiful inside, the service is wonderful and the food is really good. Only reason I have 4 star instead of 5 on food is the desserts were just ok. Everything else though was great!
Osteria Cancello dei Macci • Owner
Hi Chris, thank you for the lovely review! We’re happy you loved the food, service, and our place. We’ll definitely take your comment about the desserts into account — next time, we’ll do our best to surprise you with something truly special!

10/10Good Food plus service. Where do I start, just got back from Florence and booked this restaurant for four of us. Oh Wow what a beautiful dining experience, the waitress was so fun and welcoming the steak was amazing (best iv ever tasted) great food great wine and best of all great service and the decor is authentically pleasing. If you visit Florence you have to try this restaurant. If I’m ever lucky enough to go back I would book this restaurant more then once.

The staff was incredible. Everyone was friendly and knowledgeable. They made us feel welcome and appreciated. The steak was delicious. The wine was fantastic. The cantucci and vin santo were the perfect end to a perfect meal. Thank you for helping us enjoy our first florentine steak experience and the limoncello digestivo!

4.5/10Too touristy. Not enough servers to address needs of diners. More focused on providing instagram moments with Tuscan steaks.
Osteria Cancello dei Macci • Owner
Dear Lorrie Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet your expectations. Our goal is to offer an authentic experience that combines the quality of Tuscan cuisine with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The fact that we’re appreciated by visitors from all over is something we’re proud of, but we always strive to provide attentive and personal service to all our guests—whether they’re locals or tourists. In this case I want to remind you that you are a tourist too We’ve taken note of your comments regarding the number of staff. During particularly busy times, waiting times can be longer than usual, and we are actively working to strengthen our team during peak hours. As for the “Instagram moments,” we’re glad our dishes look good in photos, but behind every plate there is real attention to quality and tradition. We hope to have the chance to welcome you again in the future and offer you an experience more in line with your expectations. Best regards

8.5/10Having never had the famous florentina steak, we thought why not and it was a beautiful bit of meat, certain parts are a bit chewy but it's incredibly flavourful, waitress was rushed off her feet training a new waiter as well as serving every table. lovely setting inside.
Osteria Cancello dei Macci • Owner
Dear Nathan, Thank you for choosing to try the Florentine steak with us — we're glad to hear you enjoyed the flavor and quality of the meat! It’s a proud tradition here, and we’re always happy to introduce it to first-timers. We’re sorry if the service felt rushed during your visit. At times of high demand, our team works hard to serve everyone efficiently, but we understand how important it is to also make each guest feel looked after. Your feedback helps us improve, and we’ll be sure to share it with our staff. We hope to welcome you again soon — perhaps for another round of bistecca, or to try something new from our menu. Warm regards
