I think the title says it all. One would be hard pressed to find that combination in most any city anywhere. Recently, my wife and I had dinner at Academia. The staff paid excellent attention. Our server brought a basket of breads and a bottle of olive oil. Soon he brought another bottle and another; a total of four kinds... More

One would never expect to find a good restaurant that is not overpriced next to a major attraction (the Accademia) in most cities, especially when it's named after it. But this is an exception. We shared a salad which was very good. I had the beef (not the florentine steak) while my boyfriend had some stuffed pasta with truffle oil.... More

I am a huge fan of this restaurant. There are fancier, there are many more expensive, there are many more well known but how many of them serve wonderful food consistently in a very enjoyable way... its like family. My last trip back was with a family group from abroad. They wanted a true Florentine Steak. I had recently been... More

The staff was amazing and treated us like family. We went back three times while we were visiting over Thanksgiving. Their lunch and dinner menu were great and a very good value for the money. Our waiter, "Kush", was the nicest waiter we had during our trip and went over the top to take care of our family. A must... More

Kush served myself and a good friend and he was superb in recommending food and especially wine. Two of us travelled (both well travelled americans) to florence and a work colleague recommended this place. Try a pizza from the 100 YR old stone oven. We went to another restaurant that was recommended by our 5star hotel concierge and it was... More

The restaurant was recommended by our hotel and only a five minute walk away so we visited for dinner. As soon as we walked in you could sense a great atmosphere with approximately 50/50 tourist and local customers. The staff were friendly and welcoming without being too much 'in your face' and we immediately struck up an association with our... More

What can I say about this restaurant? It was the best meal I have had in Florence. The restaurant had a lovely atmosphere and the waiters were extremely efficient and friendly. We were even given free tipples of limoncello and a recommendation for a nearby late night bar by Kush (and by mentionining his name to the proprietor when we... More

Great restaurant that was busy with tourists like us. Not many locals? Service was friendly and able to converse easily in English. Menu simple and what we had was great. Average atmosphere: neither traditional non modern. More

We entered on a whim having bypassed some not so good restaurants nearby. The seems to be a mix of locals and tourists. Other than being encouraged to over-order a bit the food was very good. The steak florentine was far more than we could eat together but was cooked beautifully and we had a good evening and returned More
