10/10Lovely quaint restaurant with delicious food. Shouting antipasti starter was absolutely fantastic - followed by risotto and wild boar pasta. Too full to squeeze in dessert which also sounded fabulous.

This little hidden gem was quite a surprise from the moment we walked in, with a cozy atmosphere and a welcoming staff. And off the beaten path, Diamond in the rough.

10/10What an amazing night! We just had one of the best meals I’ve ever had. The rave reviews did NOT disappoint. Service couldn’t have been better and the food was top notch! We had to walk 25 minutes to get here and it was absolutely worth it. The mushroom pasta was fantastic and my wife loved her ravioli. Topped off with amazing wine and limoncello it was a magical night. The owner is a neat guy that truly cares about his customers. He came out to tell me I forgot something and had a special treat. Thank you! So many great places to choose from in Florence but this is one is a must NOT miss. I would be sure to make reservations as this place is popular for a reason!

5/10Good service - except the chef who is not able to issue a VAT invoice to an international customer - beside a quite good filet the rest of the food was 😟 - wonder how they get all these positive reviews on tripadvisor - after having paid our bill with no tip at all (which we doing not even 3 times a year) the chef offered us a bottle of the „company wine“ - nice trial but still the cena was 😟 - we are coming to Firenze since 1986 - never experienced something similar - Google most wellknown restaurants, find and try this one snd understand in what a time of fake information we live …

6/10This restaurant is quite a distance in a less well-lit and less populated part of town. The food was very mushy and not well-flavored, and they didn't have some of the items on their menu. The waiter was kind and funny.

10/10Cosy authentic Florentine restaurant. Friendly staff who were really helpful. Fabiana recommended a delicious red wine to pair with our food. The food was absolutely delicious. Great portions and the Mezzaluna was outstanding. Lots of locals eating at the same time and that's always a good sign. Treat yourself to this little gem if you're planning on visiting Florence. Booking in advance advisable.

10/10The service was wonderful! My husband had the pasta with wild boar, his third time eating this dish while in Tuscany, and he said tonight was his favorite. I had the ravioli with truffle slices and almonds. It was excellent, the flavors blended together perfectly!

we had a fantastic time , the restaurant itself has a lovely setting inside and the staff spoke good English and were very helpful. we had steak Florentine and it was delicious, we weren't sure if it was going to be enough for 2 of us , but sure enough we didn't finish the lot. I went for my partner's birthday and as a surprise for her they came out with a couple of slices of cake with a candle on , she was embarrassed.. much to my delight 😂. on the way out we thanked the front of house staff and they gave us a house bottle of wine as a leaving present. honestly would recommend to everyone visiting Florence. would love to come back again one day thank you very much 🙏

10/10We had a wonderful dinner for my Aunt’s birthday, the food was fantastic and the service was outstanding. The waiter was very pleasant and could not have tried harder to ensure we enjoyed our meal. What made it extra special was at the end when the host played the guitar and we all sang Happy Birthday to my Aunt. I thoroughly recommend trying out this superb restaurant on your trip to Florence.

The food was crazy good and the waiter and waitresses there were extremely sociable. They all also spoke English which was great. I ordered the egg truffle bacon starter, angus beef carpaccio with baked potatoes side, and the tiramisu. It was all great and would highly recommend. So far this is the best place I ate at during my trip and would come back again 100 percent on my next visit to Florence.

4/10We asked for a steak medium rare and we got a steak blue cold inside. Much less cooked. We asked to return it for more cooking but it came back really bad.

10/10The food, the ambience, and the friendly wait staff were excellent. We visited in early December and the temps were in the low 40’s F. We enjoyed their hearty ribollita (tomatoe and bread soup) as well as the Osso Buco with a nice Chianti Classico. Highly recommend for a quality meal that won’t break the bank!

10/10Everything about Osteria Vecchio Cancello was wonderful. When you walk in, you feel you are at home. Our waiter was professional, attentive and friendly. The food was presented artfully and delicious. This was our second visit. We also recommend to friends who visit Florence. It is out of the way of the historic district but way out of the ordinary. Try it!

6/10The view was nice. But limited menu and multiple dishes were one dimensional and lacked variety. For example, we ordered truffle pasta and gnocchi and both came with exact ingredients. Also, we were not informed of 15 euro additional price for white truffles when dish was named truffle pasta and Truffle gnocchi. They did have an extensive wine list, which was nice.

Lovely atmosphere and excellent service. Loved what they recommended, liver on the toast were very surprised delicious. The T-bone was also lovely, just too much for two people. We have to ate fast in order to avoid it getting cold, felt a bit pressure
