    La Gargotta has become our favorite restaurant; the food is always delicious, the service is personal, friendly and knowledgeable, and the environment is ideal for eating and talking with family and friends - soft relaxing background music in a charming, intimate setting. If that’s what you’re looking for, you’re in for a treat!

    I have been going to the Gargotta for over 40 years. The ownership has changed along the way but it has maintained the same high-quality, tasty food, pleasant ambiance and simple but creative cuisine. It is especially lovely in the spring and summer when you can dine outside while overlooking the city of Florence.

    The restaurant sits in a stunning location. The food was fresh, regional and cooked perfectly. The friendly owner took time to talk us through the menu. We weren’t rushed for any of the meal. We would both love to come back and sample more of the menu. Thank you.

    I was a traveler from Asia, and I wanted to experience Tuscan food, so I searched on Google Maps and went not far from my accommodation. We were the only ones who seemed to be tourists (especially Asian) in the store, so I felt good because I felt like I came to a local restaurant properly. I drank t-bone steak and risotto, some side menus, wine, and the t-bone steak felt the meat quality was really good.

    Amazing restaurant with a great view of Florence by night. Nice food and kind personell. The waiter explained the entire menu for us, since they do not have a English menu. The food was great and the recommended wine was very nice as well. Be prepared to have a long diner since it takes quite a while for your food to be served.

    Great view and service was impeccably. Food was served quickly and was delicious. The place was filled with other guests enjoying a very warm evening on the hill. Menu was large enough to choose from and small enough to know it would be freshly made. Well balanced dishes but would recommend to go easy on the salt. Unfortunately they did not have beer. The rod to the venue should be a on beat road but isn’t and for us felt quite dangerous especially when we had to drive backwards to give way to oncoming traffic.

    This lovely restaurant is nestled in an old palazzo on the side of a hill overlooking Florence. Everything about Trattoria La Gargotta was perfect – excellent service, relaxing jazz music, truly delicious food, and an ambience thoughtfully designed to enjoy a spectacular meal. Thanks for a relaxing evening; we’ll return for sure.

    Very loud, food is good but service was really bad, maybe because we booked with the 2000 yums/ 50 € discount? Definitely not going back

    Aghim is the most gracious host and his homemade limoncello to die for. Vegetarian options limited but that's to be expected. Great Fiorentina.

    A Gem on top of the world, with a challenging ride up! We were impressed by our waiter’s show of decanting a bottle of red! Also his expertise in cutting the Florentine massive steak, a great start! We ordered medium and got rare, for me there was not much flavor or tenderness because of this. One of our guests had to wait for her entree, never got her salad. Once the restaurant got busy, we were left alone, it took almost an hour to get our check after asking for it numerous times. Turns out the Owner?, staff were too busy smoking. We literally had to leave our table and our host went into the kitchen area to get his credit card back.. Good impressions must be carried thru to the end of the Experience!

    A friendly and warm welcome immediately put me at ease. At no time did I feel at pressure to hurry, I was able to enjoy the view and atmosphere. The food is simple and traditional, cooked excellently, the house wine conplimented the meal, and I left with a smile and a feeling of contentment.

    Great view, great service but the food was not good. Pork ribs Burned, steak Needed to send back, not medium baked. Grilled vegetables 7 euro for 6 small slices. Pasta with duck needed much salt en peper.
