6/10Booking this place days in advanced on our holiday the experience was underwhelming. We had a higher expectation for the Florentine steak. The meat was quite chewy. The service was a little slow and the staff looked under pressure.

10/10We had a fabulous experience. The ambiance is cozy, charming and romantic. The waiter came over, greeted us and carefully walked us thru the menu and gauged how hungry we were and what we were in the mood for. For our appetizer we had their Burrata on a bed of vegetables with just the right amount of olive oil and balsamic…the best was the shaved truffles. Everything was great but the shaved truffles made it perfect. We shared the Wild Boar Pappardelle which paired so well with the Chianti Gran Selccione “Oro”. Amazing how the wine pares with the right food. We then shared a Filet and once again learned of the impact of drizzled Olive Oil but what made it so delicious was the salt we were able to sprinkle on the meat. A truly perfect dinner and love how we were able to enjoy everything without feeling rushed. As we were leaving the owner gave my wife a bottle of wine which we then enjoyed in our hotel room. Perfection is the only word I can use to describe our experience!

It was our 20 year anniversary and we picked this restaurant for our last meal in Florence. Amazing ambience and service, you feel right at home with the big welcome. The food was spectacular. We had a bottle of wine, salad w radicchio, lettuce, pecorino, walnuts and olives. Delicious. We had florentine steak for our main along with the pumpkin risotto with cod and pistachios which as to be the best I’ve ever had. They acknowledged our anniversary with lemon cello shots and just the most memorable night. We will be back in a heartbeat if we ever return to Florence. Thank you so much.

10/10We arrived late but called ahead to inform them we took a wrong turn. They were nice about it and sat us 20 minutes after 10pm. They treated the birthday girl like a super star. Sang to her in Italian and even gave her a bottle of their private label collection as a parting gift. The food was good.

10/10Quaint restaurant with excellent service. We had the steak Florentine with American friends who asked over and over why the meat was so much better than in the United States. Highly recommended.

7.5/10While some of the waitstaff were absolutely amazing—attentive, friendly, and professional—others came across as more average in terms of service. I recommend the management work on ensuring more consistency in the service experience across the team."

10/10The 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.
