    Nice Italian eatery that is adjacent to the Piazza Santa Croce square. Reasonably priced food with an accommodating and friendly staff. I ended up getting spaghetti carbonara and a glass of local white wine. Both were quite good with the carbonara made à la Roma style. The outdoor dining area, allowing you to people watch with a great view of the square was a huge plus with this business as well. Overall, a very nice and relaxing dining experience

    We had booked a private driver for our first trip into Florence (highly recommend) and was directed to a great street cafe in front of the Piazza Santa Croce. Like most typical cafes, offers indoor or outdoor seating with great views of the plaza activities. At the recommendation of our driver, ordered the lasagna, a wild boar ragu, pear ravioli dish, and a couple appetizers. The buffalo burrata was outstanding being adorned with a healthy amount of black truffles, the lasagna was delicious with a rich meat sauce, and my wild boar was served with home made pappardelle pasta which was just as tender and tasty as any slow braised beef you have had. Like most European restaurants, service was friendly and relaxed checking in after courses to see if any additional menu items are needed.

    Orrechiette with Broccoli and toasted breadcrumbs....excellent
    Jonathan R.

    I was very pleased with the lunch at Boccadama. Last minute reference to Yelp. The pasta was delicious, the orrichette with broccoli and toasted breadcrumb was simple yet perfectly executed. The carbonara was a solid rendition. Very reasonable and service was excellent.

    We had a great time, sitting outdoors in the piazza. The lasagna was very delicious! The service was speedy and accommodating. (They have a restroom for guests.)

    Stopped by for a quick coffee in between tours with the girls - delicious! I ordered an iced cappuccino and it was the best I've ever had

    Pear Ravioli

    This was my favorite find in Florence! We went twice, for dinner and lunch. The pumpkin soup was incredible, as well as the carbonara. The pear ravioli was also really good! Definitely recommend this place, the servers were so kind and helpful, and the inside is so cozy and warm. You really get the Italian experience

    Everything we ordered was very tasty. We started with a Bruschetta appetizer, and everyone had pasta dishes with various styles and sauces. Everyone enjoyed their meal. Food came out pretty quickly. Our server was great! Best desserts we have had in Italy - Tiramisu and Dark Chocolate Cake. Good meal overlooking Saint Croche's church on a pleasant evening.

    We had a wonderful lunch here today. I had the ravioli with truffles and Parmesan, and my husband had the gnocchi with fresh tomato sauce and buffalo mozzarella. We both really enjoyed our lunch and the restaurant is dog friendly. We ate outside and chatted with some Americans at the next table who were doing a day trip from their cruise. I also had a really nicely made Aperol spritz. Reasonable prices, good location, tasty food and friendly service are all reasons to have a meal here.

    A pretty decent little restaurant in the heart of Florence, this place is usually flooded with tourists from cruise ships. Nonetheless, the food and service were good, if a little short of spectacular. I went with my Italian go to: lasagna. Pricing was good. Wine was good. Food was good.

    In Florence, looking for the best hole in the wall with great food. I think I found it. The Bolognese and Carbonara was awesome.

    Lasagna was excellent. So good! We also had a salad that was excellent!
    Bob B.

    The food is wonderful. We had the lasagna and a Tuscany salad. Fresh ingredients and wonderful taste. The service was excellent.

    AMAZING FOOD, SERVICE and ATMOSPHERE. I lived in Florence for a year and I know my Italian food: this is authentic fresh pasta. Highly recommend the truffle ravioli, it was to die for. My family loved the lasagna too. The chef Alessandro came out to thank us for our compliments on his work.

    Pensavo Peggio - The best lasagna you will ever eat.

    Happy to say this place is still just as amazing as I remember it almost 10 years ago!…read more A couple of girlfriends and I discovered Pensavo Peggio during our first trip to Italy in 2017, and it quickly became one of the reasons Florence became one of my favorite cities. Back then, I ordered the Osso Buco, Lasagna, and Tiramisu--and I still remembered how incredible everything was. So, of course, when I returned nearly 10 years later, I had to order the same meals... and yes, I said meals! Fabrizio, the same server who took care of me in 2017, asked, "Are you sure you want two dinners?" I told him, "Yes! I want to try them both." Fast-forward to 2026: I walked back in two days ago, reminded Fabrizio of our conversation, and told him I was ordering both again. He immediately started laughing. Some things never change! My boyfriend ordered the pappardelle and instantly fell in love with it. We also shared a delicious cheese and meat platter and, of course, finished with Tiramisu. Nearly 10 years later, Pensavo Peggio still holds a special place in my heart. Highly recommend this cute little spot! It just goes to show that sometimes the best memories--and the best meals--are found when you venture off the beaten path. Some places are simply worth coming back to.

    Saw the reviews on Yelp and wanted to try it since we were staying around the corner…read more Had the Cacio Pepe and Grandma's Lasagna. Lasagna was 10/10 which is why my wife kept eating mine and the Pepe was still very good. Eat here for phenomenal food and value.

The charcuterie board was big enough to share with 3 but also depends of how much you eat. lol portions tend to be smaller in Italy. However, the sandwich was a nice size. All the cold cuts were fresh and taste was another level. A nice list of wine selection as well.

We were excited to sit down…read moreand enjoy a beautiful cheeseboard here due to the fact that they had so many amazing meats and cheeses behind the counter. The staff was knowledgeable on all the different meats and cheeses available and were able to make recommendations based on what you prefer. We ordered a beautiful looking cheeseboard that had a variety of different hard cheeses along with different meats. The presentation was beautiful and we very much enjoyed the entire thing. It is very cool to see the different meat hanging from the ceiling in addition to the wine bottles and the cool ambience that they created in the small location. There are a handful of seats available and then there's even a back room with a few more tables to accommodate a few more people. From a price point perspective, it wasn't too bad, especially if you're swinging in for a snack and a quick glass of wine or a beer.

They made space for our party of 5 right in the center of a loud and and lively main dining room... where the energy and spark was so contagious. Just a marvelous setting for a night in Florence. Prepared dishes were family style. Every single choice was tasty good. The bread and bottles of Brunelo Montalcinos kept the conversation going. Florentine steak was not dry and forgettable. It went well with other pasta dishes like the Tagliatelle Con Ragù Di Coniglio or the Osso bucco, Pappardelle Al Ragù Di Cinghiale . . . of course with the Brunello & Chiati Classico The dining that night felt intimate yet party-like with nary a wiggle room. You don't get that often in the U.S. We never ever felt rushed despite the wait crowd out the door. Manager there was especially accomodating to us tourists. My 5 star rating has a lot to do with their boundless can-do spirit. A country house vibe rustic food with an outsized Italian howdy y'all. We will be back

It's almost like the restaurant is positioned in a cave but it feels homey. Ample light to make it feel intimate and comfortable. The services was good and the wine and food were outta this world. All recommendations were great but would suggest the wild boar ragu and t bone steak. Would def be back when visiting Florence and highly recommend to others visiting.
