One of the unique features of Il Vivandiere is its commitment to seasonal ingredients, ensuring that every visit offers something new and exciting. The trattoria also hosts live music events, creating a lively atmosphere that enhances the dining experience.

After enjoying a meal, visitors can explore the charming streets filled with artisanal shops and historic landmarks, making it a perfect stop for both tourists and locals.

There’s certainly many that enjoy this restaurant given the number of reviews but for our taste, it was okay.

The service was good. They also had a unique bread offering with sesame crackers which were very good. Of the evening, our favorite was the meatballs. The pasta was okay but felt it just lacked zest.

The quantity of food was plentiful.

It’s been our experience that eating in Italy, regardless of city, number of reviews or how many people are eating, it  can be hit or miss which probably should be expected.

The trattoria offers a charming ambiance, but unfortunately, the food fails to deliver on the promise of authentic Florentine flavors.

The house wine, a selection of Sangiovese blends, was one of the highlights. It was of good quality, complementing the meal with its light and fruity profile. However, the food itself was disappointing in comparison.

The ragù, while tasty, lacked depth and the complexity of spices that would elevate it to something memorable. Similarly, the naked pasta, gnocchi, and ravioli were underwhelming—each dish tasted plain and lacked the robust flavors one might expect from Tuscan cuisine.

While the service was warm and attentive, the meal as a whole left much to be desired. If you’re looking for great wine and a casual dining experience, this trattoria might suffice, but those seeking a culinary adventure will likely leave unsatisfied.

10 stars! Excellent food, a twist from tuscan dishes in tapas format. Cannot recommend something, you just need to try everything from the menu. Wide variety of wines. Top desserts.
Prices are totally fair, we paid less than 30€ per person with bottles of wine + dessert.
If that was not enough, caring service in a lovely atmosphere and well decorated place.

Stopped in for a quick bite to eat for lunch. It was good food! First server I encountered seemed a bit non-caring that I was there. I felt like I annoyed him that I arrived. One of the other servers was much for gracious.

The food was good — especially the Catalan Cream. It was really great!

The service was off in terms of friendliness . However they brought my food and served me without any other issues.

A small cozy resto with the most surprising and creative twists on Tuscan dishes. Fantastic quality ingredients brought together in innovative ways to make for a fun evening out. We had the Giro Tapas and I highly recommend it! We will likely return to sample the pastas because they looked amazing! Also, the house wine was excellent.
