7/10The restaurant had really very tasty food, good wine and a great playlist. However, we had chosen this place because of the air conditioning and there was none. The main dining room was full so we were seated in a side room with non functional air conditioning. By the end of the meal we were really suffering. If I had known their air con was not working I would have taken a restaurant with terrace to at least enjoy the wind. The derogatory attitude of one of the waiter was the other issue.

The staff were super attentive. The tuscan bean stew was the best thing I've eaten in Italy so far , it had a great stock in it and depth to the flavours. The pasta was plentiful , and the building itself is stunning and cool due to the air con. Of tou pay a visit get the stew ! In a few days we shall be returning to try the steak which another table ordered and it looked amazing. 10/10.

2/10Terrible experience. Staff are rude and very snobbish. It tainted the whole experience. There are so many excellent restaurants. This is not one of them.

10/10The staff was very friendly and accommodating, and the menu had a nice variety. I ordered the homemade gnocchi and it was out of this world! Would definitely recommend!

We ordered the following three dishes: • Pici senesi al ragù della tradizione • Tagliolini alla crema di tartufo nero • Tagliata di manzo con rucola e grana The truffle pasta was absolutely delicious, with the sauce perfectly coating the noodles. The beef was tender and flavorful, and the portion size was just right for two to share. The young male waiter was both friendly and professional, maintaining the perfect balance of attentiveness and distance. We felt no sense of discrimination against Asian customers — he treated all guests equally and with genuine hospitality.

5.5/10Booked due to excellent reviews, however extremely disappointed. One side of the restaurant was chaotic, the other building calm with spaces. Hence, waiters were distracted. The bread basket was dry and consisted of end pieces, the green side salad was limp leaves, and both pasta dishes were average.

10/10We returned to Giovanni’s after many years. It did not disappoint! The bistecca and filet melted in your mouth. The salad so fresh, and the pecorino perfecto.

7/10It felt more like a restaurant in the USA where they rushed you in, fed you and released you. The food was good, but not anything I have had in Italy. I should have realized that it was going to subpar when I had to make a Reservation. I enjoy talking to a waiter and asking Questions, and pouring wine and leisurely enjoying my meal. This wasn’t that.

10/10Everything 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!

9.5/10The 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.
