An outstanding dining experience from start to finish. The seafood salad was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. The pasta was excellent, and the steak was cooked exactly to the requested doneness. The staff were warm, friendly, and always greeted us with a smile, making the experience even more enjoyable. The restaurant has a beautiful, romantic atmosphere that is perfect for a relaxing meal. I highly recommend visiting this restaurant and would happily return again.
Had an amazing dinner while on vacation in Florence, food was perfect, truffle pasta, ordered 1.5 kg rib eye steak for the table- amazing!! Truffle mashed potatoes to die for and the last - dessert, the Florence special chocolate one was really good. Over all, it was a treat to the taste buds😋
What a fantastic find! We had an amazing meal from start to finish. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always smiling, which really made the experience even better. Every dish was delicious, beautifully prepared, and you could really taste the quality of the ingredients. The Filetto Rossini was definitely the highlight of the evening—absolutely incredible and a must-try! It was so tender it practically melted in your mouth. This is one of those places you leave already looking forward to coming back. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it!
Absolutely superb, top to bottom. Out of the three dinners we had in Florence, this one was by far the best. The focaccia, asparagus soufflé, and the Zuccottino dessert were top tier and our favorites. We also loved our (shared) pastas — the tartufo and the mezzi (pictured). Very nice staff as well!
A true culinary masterpiece. This historic, romantic, and renowned restaurant is truly a Florentine treasure. Everything from the traditional Florentine T-bone, to the candle lit atmosphere and exceptional/attentive service attests to the extended reputation of the restaurant. My girlfriend and I had reservations for approximately 2030p; but given the long and tiring day exploring Florence, we were hoping to be seated much earlier since we were in the area. We arrived at the restaurant at around 1900p and we were almost immediately attended and seated. We were given bread and water upon being seated which attests to the great service. We ordered the traditional Florentine T-bone which many reviews have boasted as one of the best steaks in Florence to try - we were absolutely floored by the quality, presentation and flavors of the steak. The T-bone was approximately €120; but portions were absolutely appropriate and accommodating for two. Overall, we left extremely satisfied and will absolutely be returning pending reservation availability. I’d highly recommend a reservation as this historic and well-known restaurant is often full and seats may be limited.
