    Santa Croce, or the Basilica of the Holy Cross
    Sharon M.

    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.)

    Cappuccino
    Christina G.

    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.

    Double Chocolate cappuccino
    Cody F.

    One of the best meals I've ever eaten! We had two of the house specialties, lasagna and ravioli. But were divine. Wifey looooved the double chocolate cappuccino AND the ice cream when espresso. Bruschetta was on par with most that we've enjoyed in the area. When I tell you that the ravioli was amazing, there's no way that I can overstate the case. I could have died happy after the lasagna, but only if I didn't know what I'd missed with the ravioli. If I could wish for one perfect meal, the ravioli would be at least one course!

    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.

    Carbonara
    Jason S.

    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.

    Lasagna

    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.

    Aleah L.

    The pasta was al dente and fresh and the bruschetta was flavorful and juicy. The atmosphere was peaceful, shaded, and enjoyable, you could people-watch in the town square while eating. Service was fast and I liked how you didn't feel like you were inside a typical restaurant!

    Lasagne Tradizionali al Forno (the house specialty - homemade creamy beef lasagne)
    Lauren D.

    Tasty food! We stopped for a hearty lunch in May of 2022 and enjoyed the location as it was nestled in the bustling Piazza di Santa Croce. It was in the middle of our day tour, and we were seated next to another couple (traveling with a different group), so this makes me wonder slightly about to whom the restaurant is catering (menu was also in both Italian and English - great for convenience, but perhaps not something a local would seek out? Unsure, but doesn't matter too much in my book). Regardless, service was efficient, the staff were kind, and we enjoyed the menu recommendations we received. We'd go back if we were in Florence again.

    My wife and I had lunch today at Boccodama. It was outstanding! Cute little place with intimate, cozy decor. Service was prompt and friendly. We both had their award-winning lasagna. OMG, the best I've ever had (and I've had lots!) The lasagna was so creamy, it just melted in your mouth! Tiramisu was outstanding, as well. Topped it all off with a nice glass of Chianti Classico. Really terrific meal at a good price. I highly recommend Boccodama!

He was awesome and had us laughing the entire night. We peppered him with a lot of questions about the menu, he answered everything and also accommodated my father-in-law, who is GF. He had his own GF bread basket and was able to order almost anything on the menu. We ordered a nice bottle of Montepulciano red for the table that was $48. Others had the Hugo spritz. For app I had the anchovies with roasted red pepper, sea salt and oil over grilled crostini, very good. I skipped first course and ordered the ribeye steak for my main course. Bone in, medium rare, sprinkled with sea salt and a side of onion marmalade. The steak was very good and had way less fat than I expected. The waiter suggested a huge steak for the table, but I was the only one ordering steak that night. Maybe next time. Others ordered the fillet and it was cooked perfectly, the angels and demons gnocchi, and the veal scallopini. Everybody was pleased Really cool spot with a very good wine selection, drinks, excellent food and a fun atmosphere that you don't find at many places. Nugo was an A+ server.

    Fyi there are two locations, make sure you go to the correct one (only two blocks apart)…read more Wonderful, laid back but inviting ambiance. Waiter was super friendly, taking time to explain their wines in detail and food options. They even have a kids menu with sizeable portions for older kids. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meal, and it was definitely the best wine we had with meals in Florence. Gnocchi and wild boar taglietelle were outstanding. Had we had come earlier in our stay we might have come back again They also do a wine window which I wish I'd known about earlier because the other one we tried for fun was not good

The servers check in frequently and are quick to help with anything you need. The ambiance is lively with popular music, laughter, and conversation. We chatted with the table next to us on the way out and met some fellow Texans! On our way out, the owner also remembered my name and started introducing me to other tables to make friends. What a fun place to be! The food was absolutely amazing. When we saw them slicing the salami right in front of us, we decided to order the salami plate and we were so glad we did! The zucchini flower and saffron pasta was bursting with flavor and the pasta was so perfectly cooked. I couldn't get enough! The duck ragu pasta was also hearty, rich, and delicious. The sauce was so good, my family soaked up every last bit with our bread. The ricotta spinach ravioli was also amazing!! Again the sauce was such a standout. The ravioli was so fresh with the perfect amount of bite. The green pepper sauce steak was soooo good. Cooked perfectly, with such a unique sauce that the whole peppercorns added perfectly to in texture and spice. Finally, the raspberry tiramisu. We were so full, but when they set these down our dessert stomachs were ready. They were amazing! Not the strongest raspberry flavor, but still such a delicious end to the meal. Side note, you MUST have a reservation to eat here, and they only take reservations by call. Because I didn't have a way to call them, I asked my Airbnb hosts who did it for me (also amazing people). While we were eating, there was a crowd forming outside of people waiting to get in but unable to. It's so worth it to visit Vini e Vecchi Sappori! I'll definitely have to come back next time I'm in Florence.

    If you're planning a trip to Florence, make the effort to book a table at Vini e Vecchi Sapori…read more It's a small, popular restaurant that only takes reservations by phone, and it does seem to book up for every meal. We had our hotel call for us when we checked in and were lucky to grab a 1:30 lunch slot on a Thursday afternoon. We saw the fat physical reservation book when we went, and also saw an attempted walk-in get turned away. We wanted to go for dinner, but I'm just glad we were able to get in at all. Vini e Vecchi Sapori was easily my favorite restaurant in Florence. I loved the cozy, vibrant dining room, snug and eclectically decorated. We were at a table so tiny, I worried about pulling a muscle when I crossed my legs. It was nestled amongst other tiny tables, and abutted a counter where plates were put out for service and the reservation book set down in its glory next to my husband's head. Service was warm, efficient, and attentive. Our waiter basically told what to order and we obeyed him, with excellent results. The one-page handwritten menu, helpfully available in English, presented the day's offerings and this preemptive list of disclaimers: No Pizza No Cappuccino No The Fork No Ice No Spritz No Ketchup FUCK CANCER There was a brief selection of Italian wines by the glass, and we got the Chianti Classico and the Bruno de Montalcino, both lovely. The food was delicious, starting with good bread and good olive oil. We ordered the mixed Tuscany salami and the beef carpaccio as appetizers, and they were both superb and not in the least bit redundant. There were four or five types of salami, every one of them fantastic, and I loved the thin, silky carpaccio, served with rucola, parmesan, olive oil, and black pepper. We shared two splendid pastas, spinach ricotta ravioli in a creamy rose tomato sauce and a hearty pappardelle with duck ragu. For dessert, we had the lush, irresistible raspberries tiramisu. I plan to come back to Florence one day, and will make a point of coming back to Vini e Vecchi Sapori. It's a special restaurant, the kind you hope to find in Italy, a welcoming place with lively ambiance and wonderful food.

On top of the pain of securing a reservation (they only take these over the phone; no online system), the only slot I could secure even as a solo diner was as soon as they opened, at 6pm, and via a bar seat. When I arrived, I was immediately greeted by several of the staff, all warm/kind. One of them offered me a table, even though I humbly mentioned I'd be fine with whatever was convenient to them. I looked around and saw what seemed to be majority American tourists so I had very standard expectations. Well, what commenced...my god. I'm getting chills now thinking about the entire experience. Just the absolute perfect dinner my first night in Florence. Everything on the menu looked fantastic and I was even tempted to order 2 Primi (pastas) but my server discouraged it, said they were quite large. Instead she guided towards the "must" appetizer, the "onion flan with pecorino cheese and truffle" followed by their signature pasta, "pappardelle with wild boar ragù" The appetizer literally brought me to tears as soon as I took a bite. I didn't think I liked truffle but this was life-changing. And the pasta was served piping hot and also to die for. I complemented the meal with a delicious glass of white and red and ended with the utterly divine tiramisu. I will be dreaming about this meal for years to come. So epic.
