10/10Incredible service and excellent food. What else do you need? The place is a bit tough to find, but we wish them all the best moving forward in this large space.

7.5/10Felt that the quality/portion size was not commensurate with the price. The menu variety was also not very diverse.

7/10The quality of the food was unremarkable: Not terrible, but not good either (and overpriced for what I got; fortunately I had a 30% discount). The meat wasn’t particularly good and arrived a bit cold.

9/10The service was fabulous, and the food and house wine were great. I deducted one star and gave it a 9/10 because my lobster linguine didn't have much lobster. Since the meal had a half lobster shell, I expected to get at least half a lobster tail. My dinner mate, who ordered the same dish had several visible bits of lobster (in comparison) on their plate. The meal was still tasty, and the lobster claw was provided, so I cracked it open and ate the meat in it.

10/10We seldom go back to the same place twice during our travels. But we surely did here and would go again. The food was excellent. And the service, ambience, etc. were equally fine. The building itself, and its history were unexpected pluses.

9.5/10Quaint, open and airy…this restaurant is a bit off the beaten path, but very close to the Pitti Palace/Boboli Gardens, and not too far from the Ponte Vecchio Bridge. Excellent food, great service, and one of the best desserts I’ve ever had (“cheesecake”). Nice ambience/quiet and calming

10/10We visited Toscanelli a week ago and provided a review at that time. Clearly we were very impressed and decided to revisit. Always a challenge ( first impressions! ) . We were so pleased at our decision with so many restaurants to chose from in Florence. Our meal was as satisfying as we remembered previously. We chose fish ( of course ) and it was beautifully cooked and presented, so fresh and perfectly cooked . Side dishes complemented the main . Wine selection was superb . The dolce did not disappoint, a deconstructed cheesecake. We left totally satisfied and will add Toscanelli to the top of our list when we return to Florence next year. Skip the line at Florence’s popular eateries such as Il santo Bevitore and Zeb and head to Toscanelli Trattoria di mare . You won’t be disappointed.

8.5/10Beautiful setting and good food, but extremely noisy room with inappropriate music. Not the best for a romantic occasion. Service kind but super slow.

9.5/10Top quality restaurant. Very fresh unadulterated food beautifully prepared and presented. Focus is on fish and seafood but pasta dishes and open grilled steak available. My wife and I stayed with the fish which was delicious as was the pasta . Vegetables were served in ratatouille style and potatoes lightly brazed . Our sweet was a deconstructed tiramisu made at the table . A nice touch . Wine was of good quality with a very extensive wine list .

10/10Impeccably prepared and presented. Florence has wonderful restaurants but if you want to treat yourself to the next level, come here. They also have a pianist who is a music professor, what a treat!

10/10Great service in a great looking location. The food was great and they served warm bread throughout dinner. We ordered the house wine and it was good. With the applied discount it was fabulous! Will definitely come back again.

8.5/10We enjoyed the history behind this restaurant and its building. Their homemade pastas were a delight and were quite delicious. An interesting menu item was the Tuscan Onion Soup with almonds - although it was a nice concept, we were a little disappointed that there was not more of an onion intensity to the soup.

10/10We ate at this restaurant the first Sunday we were in Italy and it was so good, we chose it for our last dinner. The pasta, the bistecca, grilled vegetables and red wine were simply outstanding. Good quality food, well prepared and presented. The service is top notch; informative, responsive, but not intrusive. Highly recommend!

10/10This was a great experience from start to finish. The restaurant is in a beautiful and historic building. The service was attentive and very nice. The food was very, very good: homemade pasta; grilled vegetables; duck sauce and homemade pesto. We will definitely be back. One of the best meals we had in Florence.

6/10Menu in English and menu in Italian did not match at all. 4/10 items we have ordered weren't available. Server didn't know more than half of the menu, had to go back into the kitchen 4 times to answer question about the menu. Duck was good, pasta with boar meat was good. We ordered potatoes as a side which the server forgot. Tons of wine helped to make the experience better :) The restaurant it self is cute, but very dark. No phone reception inside. Over all, 3 out of 5.

Our policy (of which I'm very proud): Our menu says "according to availability" because we make all our food in small batches, so we are able to serve fresh dishes every day and it's possible that Sunday, when You was here more customers than usual asked for what You wished before You ( in fact the waiter had to go to the kitchen to find out what had been finished). The restaurant was originally a loggia built in the 1400's and it's an historic property impossible to modify. At that time there was no heating (and no smartphone :)) so they made the walls of very thick stone and with small windows, hence way no cell service and dark inside. However I am glad You enjoyed our food I apologize for my waiter who forgot the potatoes. Donatella

10/10+1Sometimes you just get lucky and wind up at an absolutely great restaurant. That happened to us today. We had made a reservation at Toscanella Osteria and were immediately taken with the ambience and welcoming feeling of this restaurant. Alexi and Rabbi, our servers, greeted us like we were old customers – such a nice feeling. We took awhile to take in all that the menu had to offer. We ordered a ½ liter of their house white wine and ½ liter of their house red wine – both wines were delicious. My husband started with the Tortelli Maremanni (little pasta bags filled with ricotta and spinach with a wild boar sauce) for his first course. For his second course, he went with the beef cooked in wine and peppercorn sauce with sautéed spinach. Can I tell you he was a happy man? I wanted to try something new to me, so I ordered the Carabaccia (Tuscan Onion Soup with almonds and fresh croutons). Oh my, a piping hot bowl of onion soup with the most delectable flavor. For my second course, I actually had a Primi of pasta with seasonal vegetables. This was a wide noodle pasta with carrots, eggplant, zucchini, red and yellow peppers in a light sauce. Both of my dishes were loaded with flavor and so satisfying. We finished with a Chocolate cake that was very dense, and just added the perfect ending to a perfect meal. This restaurant sits on a side street not on the normal path of tourists and has quite a history. The monumental portico (now the main part of the restaurant) was used by the Ridolfi family as an open-air reception room. The ancient well that gave the Toscanelli family their name has been restored, along with the ancient stones and bases of the columns of the portico, which can be seen under the glass floor. It is really worth a visit!

8.5/10Very nice and characteristic restaurant. Very kind staff. Food was quite good. Loved eating out on the sidewalk in this off-the-beaten-path area of town.

10/10Just perfect. Food very fresh, very well cooked and prepared. Reasonable price. Service done with kindness and efficiency. What else...? We went twice and will go back. Beyond expectations in such a touristic environment. Thanks and congratulations.

7/10Nice restaurant, but the food was less than spectacular. To be fair, it was New Year's Eve, and they had a special menu. But the vegetables were non-descript and the meat a bit fatty. People at the table next to ours said their food was delivered cold. There are so many great restaurants in Florence. This was OK.
