Trattoria Antico Fattore
Florence
En un coup d'œil
Avis
We checked this place out based on our tour guide's recommendation. Since we only had about an hour, we just ordered a couple of starters and drinks. The cold meat platter was really tasty, and the Caprese del Fattore was excellent too. The service was friendly, and we were in and out within the hour. The house red wine was especially delicious!
I could not recommend the food here, considering it is a famous spot so it could be personal preference. However, the service (from a certain staff) is not pleasant. He is always in a rush and he stepped on my feet but instead of apology the reaction was “Grazie” which makes no sense. The restaurant is bright inside, which is usually a good thing, but the distance is really close between tables so it creates a weird atmosphere.
We wanted to try a Florentine steak as we had seen them all around the restaurants in Florence. Well! Trattoria Antico Fattore provided in spades. We booked a table whilst walking around and would say this is a must as the restraunt is extremely popular. . The service and staff are fantastic and every customer is made to feel special. The steak was superb as was the whole meal. This meal is not just a meal, it is a night out. It's not cheap but you pay for the quality and experience. This meal was one of the highlights of our visit to Florence. Highly recommended.
Beautiful place, beautiful food, beautiful people! Staff is amazing, friendly and easygoing, making our stay very enjoyable and fun. I had lunch with my mother here today, we were welcomed and accommodated event tho without reservation. We had Fegatini, Tordelli di patate con tartufo bianco and Pici alla maremmana under the waiter suggestion, best ever! Also carciofi and fiori di zicca fritti, tiramisù and torta della nonna. Everything was yummy and service was great. Roasted from beginning to end because we didn’t have wine…as from Tuscany I’d say fair enough! Ahahahahah love it! Highly recommended
I came here specifically because I was told this place serves one of the best Florentine steaks. I clearly discussed this with my waiter and confirmed that I wanted the classic Florentine steak. Instead of focusing on my order, the waiter became oddly personal—asking where I’m from and whether I still live in Ukraine (yes, I do). Despite clearly agreeing on the steak, he brought me something completely different: well-done veal patties with mashed potatoes. Absolutely not what I ordered. I was already disappointed, but I decided to eat it anyway because I don’t like complaining and hoped it might at least taste good. Unfortunately, it didn’t. Both the meat and the purée were extremely oversalted and unpleasant. After paying, I finally told the waiter that this was not what I had ordered. His response? A joke—saying he didn’t bring me the steak because I’m “too skinny aka small” and the steak would have been too big for me. Unbelievable and disrespectful. Bad service, bad food, and an excuse disguised as a joke. Definitely not coming back.
