10/10Friendly and cheerful service, a perfectly tender Florentine T-bone steak, pasta that suited my taste just right, and a cozy atmosphere — this place truly offers it all.

8.5/10I went for an earlier dinner around 6:30, and I was the only one in the restaurant. Both waiters there were super friendly. I ordered the Pici alla Carrettiera and a Hugo Spritz. Overall, pretty good food.

5.5/10The food was a bit tasteless, both pasta dishes seemed severely undercooked and rushed. The wine list and ambiance is nice, I wish there was wine by the glass, not just half-bottles.

10/10This is the perfect Osteria to have a wonderful dinner in Florence. The staff were helpful in choosing our meals. They suggested items that would pair well with our dinner. I ordered the lamb chops and roasted potatoes. The rest of my party ordered the grilled fish and pasta dishes. We would all order again. This is a must visit during your visit to Florence.

We realised later the highly priced aged red chosen to enjoy with a carbonara pasta to share as a starter, beef cheek main for my husband & osso bucco Fiorentina for myself, turned out to be wasted outlay. The wine alone being worthwhile. Looking nice isn’t enough .. our starter being thoughtfully plated separately,. & even if it was delivered attractively on warmed plates, which we appreciated . …. was barely taste-recognizable as the famed Roman classic egg yolk/ pancetta/ cheese delight it ought to be. Strike One. Both the mains lacked the rich definition they should have possessed …my osso bucco meat wasn’t luscious & my husband’s beef cheek similarly disappointing - neither with definitive texture/flavor..these dishes far too highly priced just under €30, + sides extra (!) & coupled with the exorbitant cover charge, this restaurant delivered overpriced & undistinguished food ..& we didn’t get our promised 20% discount adding insult to injury. Not Recommended. Seek better elsewhere

Perfect from start to finish, one of the best meals we've had in Italy - we had the cacio e pepe, tbone steak and the steak tartare w burrata/truffles. 💯 recommend the pasta, cooked al dente and the cheese was just perfect for the pasta. Did not have super high expectations for dessert but were very impressed with the cheesecake berries. Service was friendly, kind and they accomodated us almost immediately even though we came in late. 10/10 would come back again 🙌

10/10We really enjoyed Osteria Toscanella. The beef carpaccio was delicious followed by a seafood pasta for me which was full of flavour as was my husbands very generous portion of Ossobuco alla fiorentina. The restaurant was beautiful and the staff were very friendly. We arrived early and they gave us a complimentary drink while waiting for our table.

I loved the indoors, the furniture, visible kitchen through mini windows close to the table. The way food was presented was nice as well.

The staff were very friendly and welcoming. I had the carbonara which was absolutely stunning, I also had a glass of white wine (which I’m presuming was their house wine) and that was beautiful too. Very good value for money, will be going back.

Came here with my sister for dinner since it was just a 2-minute walk from our Airbnb. From booking to payment, everything was seamless. Service was warm and friendly from the start, and the staff made us feel welcome. We ordered the house Chianti, pici carrettiera, carbonara, and a mixed salad. Everything came out hot, fresh, and flavorful. We booked through The Fork and received the 20% off à la carte without any issues. I had a little trouble processing payment through the app, but the host was courteous and helped with everything. One tip: always check your itemized receipt! We noticed a charge for water we didn’t have, but when we mentioned it, the host removed it right away. No fuss, no attitude, just kindness and understanding. Overall, a great spot for a relaxed meal with good food and genuinely nice service.

10/10If in Florence do yourself a favour and go to this restaurant. It was a very short walk over the Ponte Vecchio. This was the best meal we have had since being here. The service was excellent and the food well what can we say but absolutely delicious!!! Thank you

Fantastic food and service! We were so grateful we found this place on the Fork. The risotto, wild boar tagliatelle, seafood spaghetti and whole basked Seabass fish were standouts. The waiters were all so lovely and friendly and funny! Highly recommend this place for a traditional Tuscan experience. It’s also down a quiet side street and the interior is very charming.

It was hard for me to decide where I was going to rate the restaurant in each category because truly there were no real issues. The food was definitely very good. I had the pappardelle with wild boar and it was excellent and reasonably priced. I forgot the actual name of what my wife ate, but it was basically ravioli filled with potato topped with ragu. She thoroughly enjoyed it as well. We were the only ones eating there around noon, but maybe we were just eating earlier than most people. As a result, the service was perfectly fine, but there really was no ambience because it was empty. The only thing that surprised me was the cover charge on the check. It was weird because why would there be a cover charge when there literally had no one else eating there? I cannot complain though because we did get 50% off by booking through the app. I still added an extra 5 euro tip as well just because of the discount that was given.

10/10Delicious food and excellent service! We had the spaghetti with seafood, pasta with mushrooms, and pasta with meat sauce (beef). Then we finished our meal with Nonna's cake and a cappuccino! This restaurant is a gem - highly recommended!
