    Everything here was amazing! 10 out of 10 would return in a heartbeat. I didn’t want the meal to end. The service was thoughtful and thorough, best dish was hard to pick but gotta say the papperdalle with wild boar blew me away!

    All the dishes were pre-made and the waiters were cold. Ratings on Google can't be trusted

    The food was absolutely excellent. I had the boar's meat pasta and the Ribilieto soup. The waiter gave great advice to split the Ribilieto, as it was more like a stew. The maitre de (Giovanni?) was helpful and kind to my tired son. Although we were rushed, this was absolutely the best meal I had in Firenze and perhaps in Italy. I'd go back in a minute.

    Easy walk from historic area. Food was delicious. Nice wait staff, not only our waiter but the rest of the staff stopped by throughout the meal to check on us. We had the traditional prosciutto with melon appetizer which was perfect with heaps of the cured meat. Our two primi pastas were heavenly, the Gorgonzola gnocchi and the pasta with cow cheek sauce, meat was super tender. Our secundo was the grilled sausage with side of potatoes.

    The experience was across the board the best we had in Florence, simple and clean flavors. You are well fed but you won’t feel awful after eating a huge variety of dishes. Quality ingredients. Neighborhood vibe. The staff was all working as a team and were on top of everything. Nobody rushed you along, and the owner was keeping an eye out while enjoying the evening. Definitely a great choice.

    Our experience here was nothing less of amazing! The food, specifically the steak, was out of this world. Hands down the best steak I’ve had. The waiters were very helpful to us with understanding the menu and even gave us good wine recommendations. We ended our dine with complimentary limoncellos and I must say this Italian restaurant owes me nothing! 10’s across the board!

    We went for a late lunch which meant changeover in waiting staff. However, they were helpful and individually did their best to advise us of what would be best! The steak Florentine was melt in the mouth delicious.

    Went on the strength of Tripadvisor ratings. My son had the boar (despite my disapproval) and said it was the best meal he had eaten in Tuscany. I had Gorgonzola and walnut gnocchi. Delicious. And my children had the tiramisu which they loved. Lovely restaurant. Would recommend.

    I love the restaurant and the waiter. The waiter did hurry us through which we told him we were in no hurry. He sat around fighting time to kill before our social event. Also, we did not get the 20% discount we’re supposed to have gotten by booking through you. Nonetheless, excellent restaurant.

    We booked this restaurant mainly because we had reservations for a concert at the nearby Chiesa Santa Monaca, but we were delighted that the dinner was worth a trip in itself. Each of our dishes was prepared skillfully and the flavors were complex and interesting. The wine list was limited but we found a Chianti among the options that was decent if slightly overpriced. We noticed that other patrons were served a complimentary glass of limoncello or grappa that was not offered to us. Perhaps this was because we were using the 20% discount offer; we really enjoyed the meal in spite of that.

    Saw a YouTube video on Firenze and this recommendation did not disappoint. Many local Italians were also eating here, for good reason.
