    Food was great. The only thing is that carbonara should have more taste.

    I rarely write reviews despite the fact that we travel and eat out extensively. However, I have to share that this was one of the best meals we have had in Italy. This is a must try restaurant in Florence (a city of so many good places to eat). Be sure to try the Sformatino. It was so good we will probably go back again today!

    Really lovely experience. We had a pre-theatre dinner and although it was quiet (midweek and February!) we had a warm and attentive service from the manager who clearly cared deeply about the experience of his guests. Wine measures were very generous and the food was great quality - we had ravioli with ricotta and spinach in a pomodoro sauce and the Calcio et Pepe pasta (interestingly was the recommendation despite it being the least expensive pasta dish on the menu - how refreshing!) was beautifully cooked and served. Would certainly recommend and return to this place.

    The staff was so nice and full of attention, not insistent or pushing, nor too passive or negligent! The food was excellent, both the osso buco and the tagliatelles, amazing experience there, and it’s my third time in Firenze, but would definitely come back and recommend!

    We ate here on our first night in Florence. The steak was excellent and we had a lovely bottle of Montepulciano. The waiter worked very hard to look after everyone and we have a very pleasurable evening made even better by the Fork discount

    They serve a bread for welcoming on the table, but unfortunately it’s inside a bag and hope it was in the basket for more good presentation. Also the bread without even a taste!

    My friends and I were surprised with the quality of service and food offered at Osteria San Simone. The food is also awesome. I had an amazing ossobuco (one of the best I had in my life). The owner, Momo, is also very friendly making the place even cozier.

    I recently had the pleasure of dining at an exceptional restaurant that truly exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and a welcoming atmosphere that set the tone for a fantastic evening. The food was nothing short of extraordinary. Each dish was a masterpiece, beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The chef clearly has a passion for culinary excellence, using fresh, high-quality ingredients that elevate every bite. Whether it was the appetizers, main courses, or desserts, every dish was a delightful experience that left me wanting more. The service was equally impressive. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about ensuring that my dining experience was perfect. They were quick to offer recommendations and made sure that my glass was never empty. It felt like they were truly invested in creating a memorable meal for every guest. The location of the restaurant added to its charm. Nestled in a lovely are

    Small, new restaurant with great food and service. Momo , one of the owners, was our server. He was very proud of his food (as he should be) and truly valued our comments and input. Support this terrific new spot in Florence!

    We popped into this restaurant for an early dinner for our last night in Florence. The service was excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed the food. I highly recommend the ossobuco. Very tender and great presentation!
