9/10We were there for lunch and the decorations within the restaurant was very nice and gave a comfy atmosphere. The tables were spaced apart well and did not feel crowded like a lot of restaurants in Florence. We ordered the burrata salad with fresh truffle, a little underwhelming but fresh, the guinea fowl pasta, the meat was dry but the sauce and taste was quite nice, and the bone marrow ossobucco, nice rich flavour and tender meat.

10/10From being greeted through the entire meal. The service was terrific. Our waiter Tan was a really good guy and very attentive. He explained the Florentine steak to the six of us and recommended the perfect portion. The salads were very large and plenty enough for two people. The wine list was very nice and had options for all price ranges.

5.5/10We were in the back room which did not have quite the charm of the front. Although we wanted to love it the mushroom ravioli with truffles was very disappointing. The ravioli were gummy and stuck together and the sauce was gluey and not much taste. And the truffles had very little truffle flavor. I am only writing this so maybe they can improve this dish because it could have been delicious. Our server was nice though.

10/10We loved this charming restaurant. We were wanting to enjoy steak while in Florence, and this wonderful place really knocked it out of the park. All of us had the steak and we shared the ravioli, and the pasta with wild boar ragu. The entire experience was excellent. Our lovely server was so helpful, both with our menu selections, and making sure our glasses never ran dry. Be sure and have the panna cotta for dessert.

9.5/10Fabulous steak cooked perfectly. The service was quite good, our server made great food recommendations so that we didn’t order too much food. He also made a great wine recommendation and decanted it for us. Would also recommend the appetizer salad with olives and pecorino - perfect with the high quality olive oil and balsamic vinegar. We also enjoyed the ambiance - very warm and inviting.

10/10Such a great experience. Was definitely our favorite restaurant during our trip to Florence. Even better than a restaurant we ate at that had to be booked months in advance. We had the Florentine steak and duck ravioli. The Negroni was excellent as well. Would highly recommend especially if you want something away from the crowded square.

10/10Such a perfect meal with such kind, attentive service. We sat in the garden area, and enjoyed the very best bistecca alla fiorentina (you will find it here, trust me), with oven potatoes and a salad. Thank you for a the champagne, the bottle of wine to take, and for such attention to detail. Grazie mille.

10/10Great food. Our waiter was the best. Gave us great suggestions and a lesson about Italian wine. The restaurant is so attractive inside. We got there just as it opened along with many others. This spot is well known and popular. Intimate and comfortable. We had a very nice evening.
