Description: Around the tables of "Il Latini" friendships are interwoven, all the world's languages are spoken, fervent discussions are held and everyone tastes food that has the flavour of the old times past. Il Latini means tradition: a means of discovering Tuscany and its people. The kitchen is where the best products of Tuscany's countryside are turned into the dishes typical of the tuscan tradition. Il Latini's kitchen was originally the kitchen of Narciso's wife, who used to take the dishes from her home to the cellars in Palazzo Rucellai where tables were set. Sora Maria's cooking was made of ingredients and flavours typical of tuscan cuisine, simple and genuine food that nowadays are still a characteristic of the restaurant. The flood in Florence did not spare the tavern, which continued nevertheless to serve warm dishes Florentine citizens among the muddy streets.

Walked past on way to a more popular spot that was too book, so went back; did not disappoint. Two main rooms, with inexpensive meats - from apps (selection of house meats, such as supressata, salame) only ~ 5E, to fantastic mains (chicken, rabbit, lamb, pork, veal 14E-22E), with fillet and Florentine steak as well. All locals. Service was over the top, friendly - not work but a joy. House wine on table. Great selection away from tourist spots. There are pastas/ soups/ vegies, but we stayed w house selections.

Been here a few times from 06 to 09. Awesome food and service, big plates. Must make reservation! Great for big groups as well. I have never asked for a menu. We just sat and asked for everything, we got appetizers, pasta and finished with BISTECCA!! To die for!!

We went here with our host! It was a long line of waiting people outside so it was very popular. They serve traditional Italian food and for sure Florentino steaks. The steak was okey but not more. I liked the antipasto better that was great! The room itself is not so romantic and the staff can be nicer but if you like the food more so comeback here!

After recommendations from some italian friends, we have made a reservation, It was more like cantine than a restaurant, but the food was good. Good restaurant but despite the reservation we had to wait too long before we got the table.

Really nice place with super friendly service. We enjoyed a long lunch here and were given lots of great wine and grappa. Will definitely be coming back. Great place. Great home cooking.
