Possibly the best lasagna we’ve ever tasted and I grew up eating Italian food. Steak was delicious and wine recommendations were perfect! Service was ideal. The restaurant smells amazing and we loved everything about it!

Santa Maria Ristorante Steakhouse is a stylish yet cozy spot known for its excellent steaks and warm hospitality. The meat is perfectly cooked, the ingredients are fresh, and the service is attentive — a great choice for a satisfying dinner in Florence.

The food was amazing, the restaurant itself was wonderful, and the portions were very generous. The lighting and the background music created a perfect atmosphere. Everything was absolutely perfect.

Food is good,but really can not understand why they charge extra 4 euro per person for dinner! They said it’s a tax initially, but later said it is their special charge for diner. Don’t like this kind of trick to make money.

This is a great restaurant. We have eaten here twice and the food is well made with great ingredients. Staff is friendly without being pushy. Pizzas are not on the menu, but they can make them for kids.

Very nice food, all fresh and tasty. And served for eyes, too. Quick service. Not too crowdy street/square.

+3Absolutely big surprise We had an unforgettable dining experience at Santa Maria Formosa. Everything was perfect — from the elegant setting to the genuinely warm and attentive service. The tuna was perfectly seared, the oysters fresh and briny, and the seafood pasta bursting with flavor and cooked just right. A true Venetian gem that blends authenticity with a touch of sophistication. Highly recommended if you’re looking for high-quality seafood in a beautiful, quiet setting!

The food was just average. Based on the reviews I expect it to be much better than it was.

they kept trying to recommend to order expensive menu, and welcoming attitude has been changed once we confirmed that we order only 6 plates for 6 people. Foods were not bad, but overpriced.
