    The food is delicious with a very good range of choices, I had black pork with plums and my partner ate beef rib and roasties. Grilled vegetables were well seasoned and the quality of the meat showed. We were early diners so very little atmosphere to start but other diners quickly appeared to join us. A group of guys, some of them family working hard to make a success. I always think when the owner is on the premises, it is a good sign of confidence in their restaurant.

    The restaurant serves traditional Tuscan food with a Modern twist. The same can be said of the room itself which is traditional in a minimal style. The food was good and the service attentive.

    The restaurant is charming and located in the Santo Spirito area. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. We felt special while we were dining there. The food was also excellent and so was the wine. They also have their own wine that they bottle, it is very good….try a bottle. We ordered the steak Fiorentine Chianini. The steak was excellent, well seasoned, cooked perfectly and it came with a side of roasted, skinless potatoes. The potatoes were delicious and very well seasoned. The steak was enough for 3 people, but it would even be enough for 4 people. I would definitely eat here again. The hospitality and food are excellent.

    Very pleasant ambiance inside the restaurant. All of the staff were very friendly, and our server was patient and informative about the menu options. The Filet with Green Sauce was particularly good.

    Courteous staff and excellent food. Eggplant 🍆 parmigiana could be cooked longer to soften the texture more. Excellent taste of the meat and vegetables.

    Dear Albert, many thanks! Can't wait to have you again with us!

    This was our favorite restaurant on our fifteen day trip. The ambiance was terrific, the staff great. We never felt rushed, and though there were other patrons present, always felt as if we were the only ones there. The food authentic, and exceptional in every respect. Would very highly recommend.

    Osteria del TegolaioOwner

    Dear Charles, many thanks for appreciating our work! Can't wait to see you again in Florence. All the best from us!

    Everything went fine. Food from start to finish was awful. When we told the host / waiter the Carpaccio was awful he said sorry and that was it. He was the one that asked we did not offer.

    This restaurant was amazing! Very well priced and the food was excellent. We had the pasta in simple tomato sauce and eggplant parmigiana, and the chocolate cake. It was very relaxing there and we loved the intimate feel of it. Highly recommend it!

    Our dining experience was outstanding. The flavours of the wild boar pasta and the truffle spaghetti were the best we have eaten. The rib eye steak was cooked to perfection

    Dear Geoffrey, many thanks, you made us really happy! Come back again and kind regards, Osteria del Tegolaio staff

    Young waiter was overfamiliar with female guests - uncomfortable to witness

    Osteria del TegolaioOwner

    Dear Ruth, we are surprised: people use to define our service staff "gentle" and "smiling"...we are sure you will change your mind if you come back again. Kind regards!

    I went here with my family. A group of 6 loud Americans was welcomed by the staff. They were very kind to everyone in our party! Mario was our server and he made the experience a lot of fun. The food, location and setting were also fantastic.

    I had a high expectation before going to this restaurant, unfortunately it turned out to be mediocre. First, when I walked into this place, I was arranged to sit in the very corner of the whole restaurant by a staff that was unwelcoming. Then I noticed that he was super passionate to other American guests, and led them to the table inside the garden. He then was super talkative and friendly to another table with American visitors, while to me only showed poker face. Though there were 2 other people in the restaurant that were nice to me, I decided to give the lowest points to this "American-favoured" guy.

    Salve! Mi dispiace della sua esperienza al nostro ristorante , ma ti so dire che nulla non è vero che il cameriere non l’ha accolta bene ! Anzi essendo che il ristorante era tutto Prenotato lo abbiamo fatta mangiare lo stesso , le chiedo di correggere il suo opinione su di noi per quando nulla non risulta vero ! Cordiali saluti 👋🏻

    We chose this place for dinner our last night in Florence base in a Trip advisor review. The food was excellent and prices were reasonable. Service was a bit slow because they were busy and only had 2 servers but it was well worth the wait. The Tuscan sausage dish was something different and did not disappoint!

    Quiet location a couple blocks away from the busy Pitti Palace with friendly, helpful service and excellent food! We ordered the pork loin with plum sauce and ossobuco. Both were tender and flavorful!

    My girlfriend and I had a great time for Valentine’s Day. The food was amazing and service was great, as we were never waiting too long for anything. The atmosphere is also nice in the restaurant. I would recommend this for anyone looking for a good spot.

    Kudos to the chef who accommodated our request for well done, and medium cuts of steak and executed them so well that they weren’t dry, but retained their moisture. The steak in a green pepper sauce was exquisite and I am not a fan of green pepper, but this sauce was elegant! Steak and potato just beautiful as well. Unlike many Italian restaurants where I think the food is salted, this meal was perfect..

    Grazie mille! Alla prossima ☺️

    Slowest servíce, the place wasn’t full and food took 45 minutes to get to our table, the excuse was that we asked for the steak to be a lot more cooked

    Osteria del TegolaioOwner

    Essendo che hai ordinato un antipasto giustamente una volta finito l’antipasto ti arriva pure il secondo piatto!!! Ovvio che ogni cosa ha il suo tempo più che altro da noi che ogni cibo si fa cucinare al momento!!! Si lavora solo sul fresco grazie mille

    It was a delightful dining experience, with perhaps the best pasta we experienced in Italy. The roast lamb was the best I've ever eaten, and the artichokes were simply delicious. Come hungry!

    Easy reservation process and very friendly staff let us know we were on the right track. We were taken to the outside area and it has to be one of the coziest locations, I enjoyed it very much. Nice place for a date! The food - well, that was just amazing! We started with a portion of bruschetta, followed by a primi and a secondi. I whole heartedly recommend this place :) enjoy!

    They applied the fork discount when I told. That’s ok but the food is poor. So hard to chew. Their own house wine was also not good. Typical restaurant that expects get tourists’ money and doesn’t care of the quality

    This is a real hidden treasure. When we arrived at opening, this restaurant didn't have a lot of people there. We've been I'm Florence 4 days and this was the best dinner we had. We sat in the ba k "garden" area that had the advantage of being outdoors and surrounded by plants, but also covered. The atmosphere was comfortable and casual without feeling crammed or cheap. We had Lasagna Bolognese and pork loin over plum jam. While some restaurants try to pass off dry pasta as "fresh made", the pasta in the lasagna was clearly fresh as it was very soft and smooth. The bolognese sauce was the best we've had as it was not too heavy on the meat flavor and had none of the greasiness that some restaurants had. Very nice. The pork was done perfectly and seasoned in a subtle manner. The plum jam complimented it well. On top of all this, the service was very friendly and the prices were very reasonable. We strong recommend Osteria del Tegolaio if you're looking for a good dinner on the Santo Spiroto area.

    Magnificent. Fresh ingredients, incredible ambience and spectacular service in a low key , relaxing atmosphere. The outdoor space was incredible . Tony and his staff were so hospitable. We chose the veal and the chocolate infused pasta in wild boar sauce… and they both did not disappoint. We will be back.
