Booked for 11.30am for lunch before a visit to Uffizi as location looked good. Restaurant clearly advertises 11am opening time. We arrived at 11.30am, chair placed in the doorway. Staffmember (male, tall, slim) sat in the dining room looking at his phone. We called hello to get his attention, he barely looked up from his phone to shout what we believe was an indication that they were closed. We tried to continue to explain we had a reservation. He didn’t get up to offer an explanation or apology and wouldn’t make eye contact. My husband climbed over the chair in the door to go over and show our reservation and only at this point did he accept we did have a booking and moved the chair from the doorway for me to enter. He was fairly brisk in all interactions so we gathered his poor customer service wasn’t exclusive to us! Shame that this was the start to the visit as the meal was fairly good.

It’s my third time in this restaurant since 2009 and it never disappoints me. Great Italian food and wine. Perfect for families!

What a great find! I visit Firenze frequently and typically avoid the centro storico tourist trap. Wandering my way back to the unhurried Oltrarno, I caught site of the charming store front and stopped to check the menu on a whim. Offering typical Tuscan fare and. number of favorite dishes I hadn’t had thus, I made a reservation for dinner and was not disappointed. Despite being just at the turn on to the Ponte Vecchio, there was no cheap looking “tourist menu” (always a good sign). The food was fresh, invitingly presented, delicious and unlike the touristy places, so reasonable priced! A great dining experience now added to my list of Firenze Favorites!

The huge steak was delicious as well and all the food. Wine was equal to the food. Very chilled atmosphere for the customers, but the waiters were very professional. Our waiter was awesome and helped us order in the right way for authenticity purposes. I don’t recall his name but we kept joking about how he was going to have to help us eat the rest of the steak. Haha 9/10 overall for us.

My partner booked this restaurant as part of my 50th birthday celebrations. The food was fantastic and the service was very good. I had a wonderful fresh pasta dish here after a delicious ham and cheese board platter. We re-visited the restaurant to share a bistecca (T-bone steak) and it was very good quality (and huge!).

Food was very good. the waiter, however, was very rude. He acted as if we were a burden, laughed at me daughter when she tried to speak Italian, and when she could not finish her gnocchi because she was full, he got upset. He asked if she didn't like it, and she told him it was great but she was full. He glared at her, grabbed the plate and said "you don't like it" and walked away. In a city known for its tourists, the waiter sure did not make us feel welcome.

We had a wonderful meal here for our first night in Florence. The customer service was unmatched and we were recommended a great bottle of wine which only cost around €30. Would highly recommend this restaurant.
