This was THE best dinner we had while visiting Florence! La Florentina was absolutely beautiful as were the other dishes we enjoyed. Lovely atmosphere & very friendly, attentive owner & staff. Make sure to make a reservation!

The Best Food We Had During Our Visit to Florence. They are very popular and require a reservation. We scheduled our visit a few days prior but I wish we could have gotten in earlier as the food was excellent. I highly recommend making a reservation and to spend a memorable time here.

The most important thing you need to know about this restaurant is that there is NO AIR CONDITIONING! NONE, NADA ZERO. It is sweltering in Florence now and for the next 3 months, and this restaurant is in an off-the-run part of town so you have a long walk to get there and when you do it is hotter inside than outside. It was painful and the food was not much better. I had caprese salad and the tomatoes were tiny, yellow and tasteless. The spaghettone with wild boar was also tasteless, like a bad stew bumped on top of noodles. A very unpleasant experience overall.

The veal shank was really good very tender! The ambience was lovely, very relaxing. The service, though satisfactory, can be a bit more relaxed with occasional smile.

At first the visit was great - we had a very nice waiter and vibe was good. The food arrived - underwhelming and quite dissapointing, the pasta was kind of bland (unlike many other places we've tried) and overall not very impressive. Then, the main course - a cheek roast, not a very good one, again - dissapointing. But the worst is that we barely touched the main course, a different waiter arrived, asked if we were done as if she really wanted us to leave the restaurant already (the food is untouched except for a small bite), didn't ask anything and took it like that and gave us the check - with the dish included of course... first time we get this kind of treatment in italy, not very pleseant.

One of the best meals I’ve ever had, hands down. I’ve been eating Italian food due to having such heritage, for 42 years. This is in the top 3 meals I’ve had, that’s really all you need to know. Simply amazing

Tortellini with truffle somewhat cold and a little too ‘al dente’ for my liking. We asked for the Steak florentine to be served medium but it was very very rare for our taste, especially for the young kids. Staff were very friendly and the interior was quite charming.

Started with the chicken liver patte on toast. It was exquisite. Next we shared the ravioli stuffed with ricotta cheese and spinach. To finish we had ossobucco that was so tender and flavorful. We had a side of sautéed spinach. The ambience was great and the service was amazing. This will be on my go to list for my next visit to Florence.
