    The food was great, maybe just a lil bit more of flavour and it would be better. But it was light, and very well cooked

    A lovely evening in a lovely place .Busy outside (good people watching) and calm within. The food was served hot and was delicious. Creative takes on solid fare. Attention to detail. Nice folks. Good value.

    Gnocchi with pear and walnuts was delicious. My companion and I shared the gnocchi and the meatballs on the patio. The charcuterie board on the table next to us looked incredible. We plan to order it next time. And the restaurant is across the street from the famous Vivoli gelato which made the perfect dessert. We will return!

    Local steal in the heart of Florence. The sliced beef with Porcini is outstanding. Also don't miss the starters, flan with gorgonzola.

    Gorgeous little restaurant- small inside but perfectly formed. It was raining so sadly none of the outside tables were being used but we had a lovely table for two at the window. Food delicious! Staff lovely, friendly and attentive. Great value for money. Definitely recommend.

    A real gem. Visited San Simone on strength of recommendation of local person and I would do likewise for anyone who wishes to get a true taste of Florence at a very reasonable price.

    very good food, we are not talking haute cuisine here, but they have excellent local dishes. my friend's carbonara was delicious ditto my sliced roasted chicken on a bed of rucola with parmesan flakes. then we shared a red berry cheesecake which was also really delicious and beautifully presented.

    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!
