7.5/10This was the highest price restaurant that we dined at in Florence. We did expect to pay more for the view of the cathedral but in hindsight felt we were stared towards much higher priced items on the menu than was warranted. Two of us had T-bone steak and the other two had pasta and risotto. The pasta dish was very good and flavoursome. The risotto was just okay. we had steak and other places and this was our least favourite. Great service overall, but try not to get swept up in the moment.

4.5/10I made a reservation through TheFork to take advantage of the discount, but when we arrived, they told us that we had to order 1.4 kg of meat. In other places, when we order 800g, the weight may vary slightly after cutting since it’s difficult to measure precisely. However, I don’t understand how they could cut exactly 1.4 kg here. Since it’s impossible to verify the exact weight, we were put in an uncomfortable position where we had to trust their claim that the portion they showed us was indeed 1.4 kg. It felt like they were using the discount as bait while forcing customers to order an unverifiable 1.4 kg portion. Despite trusting them and placing the order, the meat was cooked almost to a well-done level. I understand that bringing the meat on a hot plate might result in additional cooking, but they completely ignored our request for medium and continued grilling the meat even further on the hot plate. This was frustrating and made no sense to me.

10/10This restaurant represents everything that Florence is: Art, confidence, courage, boldness and beauty. It is a must to visitors of the city and a great way to learn about the culinary history of the city when it come to ‘beef steak’ or as it is known here La bistecca fiorentina. The service was very bold and confident and I was happy to go for the recommendations as they were very well presented. The beef carpaccio and the chef’s beef steak recipe was something worthwhile. The carpaccio with cream of burrata and Tuscan truffle was mind blowing. If you choose this restaurant make sure you want to do beef as it is what they do best. If, like me, you are a person who does not usually eat beef, but wants to partake in this florentine tradition, you have found the best place - including also a list of great wines and a fantastic view that give the obvious e name to the restaurant.

6/10We visited for the New Year’s Eve and ate the set meals available. The food was generally good, with the exception of the famous Florentine steak (served not cool and rare, but cold and blue) . The fault of the restaurant was how the staff had clearly been instructed to turn around tables at the quickest speed possible. For two of the four courses, I was still chewing as they cleared my plate. The food was good, but the pace of staff and indifference to making the evening feel special here is only rivalled by the service offered when flying Ryan Air.

3.5/10The food was really bad. We ate because we were hungry. We didn’t understand why this restaurant was well rated. Even the bread on the table was old and couldn’t be eaten.

9/10We got one a the best places in the restaurant with a wonderful view on the cathedral. The food (bruschetta & pasta) & wine were delicious. The interior of the restaurant is very cozy and well decorated. But what I most appreciated, was the staff. Very helpful and friendly. They really take care and time for their guests (a little chat here and there, to make you feel home).

5/10Poor service. 80,s 90,s music ON A LOOP made matters worse! After being seated it took an age for our order to be taken. We were coerced/shamed into buying a more expensive steak than planned which was then 200gr heavier than the 2kg requested. The Tuscan 2.2kg steak not as tender or tasty as enjoyed elsewhere earlier in the week. Veg and fab potatoes were forgotten so our steak was even colder when they arrived. Nearly €300 and no apology offered....not worth it!

10/10When booking I requested a table by the window and they offered us a cute table with view to the Dome. The food was delicious and the choice of wine is great. The service was friendly and we thoroughly enjoyed it.

3.5/10From start to finish the meal was disappointing. Stale bread, wilted salad and pasta without flavor. View was great, but service lacked any desire to do a good job. Save yourself the trouble and dont be disappointed by this tourist trap.

6.5/10It was nice to have lunch facing la cupola duomo of Florence however I felt the meet was tough and had no flavor even with extra salt added. We had the panacotta for desert however there was absolutely no wobble - it was very heavy and thick. They did give us an aperitive on the house which was nice .
