Best steak I’ve ever eaten was here a few nights ago. This place came highly rated and recommended by several friends and it did not disappoint!

Obviously a recommend the Bistecca Fiorentina. It was expertly prepared right behind our table (see the photos). It was seared perfectly on all sides to get that crispy crust these steaks are renowned for. We had it with two sides, one of spinach, which was seasoned so nicely and then a bowl of creamy beans also absolutely delicious.

We had a selection of meats and cheeses as an appetizer. It was certainly way too much food. Sadly we could not take any steak with us back to the hotel. But I did try and stay there a very long time to keep on eating it was so very good.

The service was terrific, the ambience perfect. Can’t wait to come back again some day.

Good food, average price considering the prime location. Best complimentary bread I’ve ever tasted in my Italian trip. It was starting to rain when I went and the lady was kind enough to let me in while waiting for the opening time.

Super friendly and in a great location next to the Duomo. Climb the Bell Tower or the Duomo and work up an appetite.

Food was excellent of course, but be careful we got a pizza and a lasagna and had no room for desert.

Speaking of the lasagna I saw the reviews and that’s why I came, it was super meaty and cheesy and absolutely a must try.

You have to visit this restaurant if you are in Florence! This was by far one of the best meals I have ever tasted (and I am lucky enough to live in Italy!). The food was incredible, the wine was delicious, and the interior decor is authentic and inviting. And on top of that... the staff were extremely welcoming and attentive. I highly recommend this restaurant! As does my Italian mother-in-law 😊

Right next to the tourists' place but was almost empty during the daytime. We had a wonderful meal for lunch (tried pasta, gnocchi, and lasagna, all amazing) as well as glasses of wine to accompany the food. The waitress offered limoncello shots on the house after we paid the bill - absolutely delicious! Definitely would recommend to visit~
