4.5/10Were interested in visiting this restaurant but didn’t like it. The service was polite. sorry, food was terrible. Can’t understand how the restaurant took 2 stars of Michelin. The pasta had the smell of rotten fish, seabass was like from McDonald's. Really disappointed. And finally the bill was 500€ without expensive alcohol - Fantastic joke. Will not come again.

We are very sorry that your experience at our restaurant did not meet your expectations, and we are also sorry that we did not understand your discomfort during dinner. We could have changed dishes that were not to your liking. For your information, the 2 Michelin star restaurant inside the Brunelleschi Hotel is called Santa Elisabetta, the Osteria Pagliazza is the bistro of the Michelin star restaurant with a different menu and service. The menu of the Osteria Pagliazza includes some of the most iconic dishes of the starred restaurant but they are not among those you ordered. We assume there was a misunderstanding about the reservation, we are in any case sorry that the evening was not a pleasant one for you. We will be happy to welcome you back to the Santa Elisabetta restaurant in the near future having understood that this was your intention. You can contact me directly to check availability during your next stay in Florence. Best regards Carla Balli Guest Relation

6.5/10Not enough sauce to taste the ingredients. All dishes lacked flavour
Osteria Pagliazza • Owner
Dear Mr Jelbert, Thank you for your review and for the comment you share in the community. We regret to learn that the food served at our Osteria della Pagliazza did not meet your expectations and we do apologize because we did not realize your bad feeling during the service, and consequently, we could not offer alternative dishes or arrange food not included in our à la carte menu. Our daily goal is to make unforgettable the stay of our Guests, and when we do not succeed, it is a big failure to us. Be sure we will make a treasure of your note to review and improve each dish you tasted from our Menu. Our largest regret is that we did not have the possibility to modify the situation during the dinner, or before you left the property. Hoping to have a second possibility to welcoming you, consider me and all our team at your disposal to assist you during your next visit in Florence . With our warmest regards Carla Balli Guest relation

10/10Amazing service in a beautiful setting. My wife and I very much enjoyed our evening here. The prices aren't cheap and the servings aren't huge but if you are looking for a very refined dining experience of incredibly well presented and flavorful dishes paired with phenomenal service than you should eat here!

10/10+3The restaurant is beautiful and services is great. The menus are very creative and good selections of wines. It is a wonderful break away from the traditional Florentine Ragu pasta and steak.

10/10We researched the best Florence restaurants and started following Osteria Pagliazza on Instagram. We were so excited to try it and it did not disappoint. The servers were first rate and very attentive. We each chose the 4 course tasting menu and wine pairing. Everything was excellent.

10/10I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. I went with my mother and brother for a family dinner. Atmosphere was elegant but still very comfortable. We each did the meat tasting menu and had cocktails. The food, pace at which it was served, and overall service were fantastic. We left comfortably full (including my 24 year old brother). I felt the price we paid was very fair for the overall experience we had. Everything was the highest quality. If you’re looking for a very nice dinner, this is it. Hidden gem!

4.5/10Main course arrived cold, got reheated and dressed again ridiculously after asking with instistance (the answer was that the side purée and sauces were served cold, with meat, never seen that). Little portions, The waiter and service were nice and careful but didn't recognize the mistake straight away and finally proposed to offer the main course in question. One of the dessert looked and tasted very cheap, couldn't finish. For the price, it's not worth it although there are good intentions like the olive oil (at least), some originality in the recipes. But sending cold plates this way and serving such a low quality zuccotto is not acceptable for the standing.
