At which point the lady behind the counter decided to stop serving and run to the bathroom to ask in a very accusatory tone "can I help you" at which point I said "not yet I'm going g to wash my hands and by right with you". Get response was "no not until you buy something". Atmosphere became a little hostile and certainly lowered my impression of the place. Not something I have felt elsewhere in Florence. This alone was enough for me to leave. There are better attitudes and nicer places to go all around. Stay away is my advice.

Looking for a place to eat, found this gem and realized I wanted to try it. Everyone had told us…read moredinner reservations were a MUST here, but didn't think about it. Not many places actually have yelp reviews, but this one had so many with great feedback. The food looked amazing. When we arrived we thought they were closed, but that is because they moved to a bigger restaurant a few doors down. When we arrived at the front, the gentleman asked if we had reservations, which we didn't. He directed us to the line with no reservations. The line was a bit long, but doubled in size almost immediately. It also started pouring rain during this time and we were ALL getting drenched even with an umbrella. The non reservation line was not really moving unless people left the line. We waited a good hour. As we inched closer and closer, the lines were now both outrageous and getting seated seemed like a distant memory. The staff came out and gave out Sangria and Bread bites to help those in line feel welcome. We did finally get seated and we were so glad we waited, it was worth it! We ordered the Spaghetti Carbonara, the lobster spaghettini and the chicken breast with roasted potatoes. We also ordered sangria. Everything was so good and our total was 83 €. Prices were unbelievable! We were amazed at the quality, the service and how large the restaurant they relocated to was. It was like a well oiled machine. The food coming out quickly and efficiently. I will 100% be back if I return to Florence!

The service was amazing and the food delicious. This is one of the places that friends recommended and it's also on the list of many influencers. Tourist trappy, maybe. But the food was totally worth it. We were in the area around 4:30PM and decided to stop in, totally not expecting much as we didn't make a reservation but figured if they're open and not busy, why not give them a try. The most memorable dish we had was the appetizer we order - fried polenta with mushrooms and chicken liver pate, the polenta fried crispy, the mushrooms creamy and the chicken liver pate so smooth and savory. We also ordered 2 pasta dishes - wild boar sauce pappardelle and spaghetti alla carbonara. So tasty and with depth of flavors. Paired well with the house white wine we ordered as well. Definitely a spot you don't want to miss when in Florence.

Server was nice and informative. The overall vibe of the place is dimly lit and romantic. Don't be fooled by how good the steak might look in the photos attached.

This is a Neopolitan style of pizza with its soft thin dough with a crispy bottom and chewy high edges. First off, they only serve pizza and drinks, so no salads, appetizers, pastas. But that's a good sign when you find a place that specializes in only one dish. We ordered the bufalo and added mushrooms and arugula, the marinara, and the salame. Actually the marinara was our favorite since you could taste the garlic and the oregano. We ate inside but they do have tables outside. They are even able to shape your pizza into a heart! Amore!!!! We met the owner Roberto and he was so friendly, his staff was great and our pizzas were served quickly! If you are craving pizza and want an intimate cozy restaurant with GREAT flavorful pizza, Pizza Napoli 1955 is a must stop!

He stares at me, scoffs, and points at the entire slab of pizza in front of him and says "this." Then he looks at the Italian woman before me, and they both chuckle, and he turns around and ignores me. I immediately turned around and left.

Find a way to order just the potatoes. Also the wine for a liter was very reasonably priced (13 euros) amazing.

This is certainly something for us to ponder. I have visited Il Pizzaiuolo several times and have always been seated promptly, although it does get busy. As one may deduce from the restaurant's name, they have pizza. The pizza is very good. I am not Italian, so I have not proceeded in the procession of: pasta, main, pizza, salad, dessert. This is too much for me generally, unless I fast beforehand. I have, on separate occasions, tried pizzas here, as well as several appetizers and main courses. I would recommend the fried burrata, which is simply a breaded and deep-fried burrata. It will appeal to anyone with a palette who likes cheese. The pizzas are also very tasty, although the one I ate most recently had many pieces of a lesser breed of sausage that resembled what the Americans call "hot dogs" or the Russians call "doctor's sausage." Simply a deeply and thoroughly processed meat conglomerate. I was not particularly fond of this on pizza, particularly when many superior processed meats are available. The venue here is simple without frills, as one would expect of an osteria. The prices are reasonable for the location.
