We recently had dinner at this place which seemed to attract tourists and some locals. One dish on the menu was pasta with oil, garlic, hot peppers and bacon. We ordered it and asked the server if we can have it without the bacon. He said no problem. When the dish arrived it was with bacon and served by another... More

We picked this restaurant for our new years eve dinner and weren't disappointed. The prices were higher for that evening. We are vegetarians and found 2 pasta dishes which we were very happy with. The dessert was delightful as well. The ambience is pleasant, trattoria like and service brisk and efficient. Worth visiting. More

Excellent food and lots to choose from, my husband and I went here during our time in Florence twice (lunch and dinner) and both meals we had were amazing. Staff were very friendly. The lemon sorbet was awesome. The price was reasonable as well. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Florence. More

Between the Duomo and central market, this cafe is on a quiet lane with 2 other similar cafes. Half a dozen outside tables and more inside, clean loos, prompt & friendly service. Very good value- a 3 course tourist lunch menu at 14 euros, tea/coffee 3 euros, beer 4 euros. We had pizzas at 6-8 euros and they were huge... More

Marco, our waiter, was a lot of fun. He made the experience memorable. We enjoyed the house wine, I had the Bistecca Fiorentino special menu and my friend had spaghetti bolgonese and chicken. Great dinner in Florence. More

We visited this restaurant for the second time and enjoyed a plate of Pecorino and some yummy pasta. The food is very good, the prices are ok but the best is, that one sits on one of these road where all the tourists walk up and down and are busy shopping and it is especially relaxing to watch them hurry...

Stumbled upon this restaurant in a search for a quick lunch place and were very pleasantly surprised by the quality of food and service. The waiter (seemingly the owner of the restaurant) was very smiley, polite and efficient. The food was simply delicious and the wine was outstanding. The place is a little sun trap and great for people watching.... More

My husband and I had dinner there during our 2 nights stay in Florence. We chose it because it was busy, and the menu looked good. The waiter we had, which i think is either the owner or the owner's son, was dressed very poorly, and very unprofessional. Which I find to be kind of a turn-off. The other servers... More
