I think it's pretty new which is why the locals didn't know it yet.  Food For the quality of the octopus alone I would give this place five stars and I do not really believe in five-star reviews.  I had the octopus dish, my friends had the rest.  Octopus with potato, French beans and pesto: amazingly succulent. Best octopus I've had, melt in our mouth  Swordfish: not fishy at all, flavorful Risotto with shrimp: rich and creamy Dessert: Deconstructed mille feuille, a French dessert of crisp wafer and chantilly cream and strawberries, delicious and creamy and light and crisp  Drinks I was with a wine crowd so we split a bottle of white wine.  Service As I said we were the only second table in the evening but the waiter had some fun personality was happy to explain the dishes to us.

Do NOT attempt to share this because the first person who tastes it will knife the rest of you just to keep it. It's one of the best things I've ever put in my mouth. Yes, I've had two cocktails before writing this, be quiet, maybe YOU'RE the one with the problem, did you ever think of that? But seriously, fried dough with salty ham and truffle cheese. It is a delicious bomb. I want to come back and have tartare and try the wine and just taste all the things. Thank you internet for steering me here.

This was my first time in Florence, and the first place we went to was all booked. We stumbled upon…read morethis place and gave it a try, and back was a good time! We came into a place with a relaxed atmosphere, and lots of American oldies music - i was already a fan! First off: wine. We got a bottle of Chianti to kick the night off. Pretty solid choice! In our party we ordered the risotto pasta and a different pasta with a ragu/wild boar sauce. I had the risotto, which didn't do it for me because it was a little underflavored, however the ragu pasta my friends had was amazing. Do try that if you go there! The piece de resistance was definitely the pistachio cheesecake. Soooo good, and totally worth it! We got a round of limocello from the owner, which is was my first time trying it. Also not my favorite, but we appreciated the gesture. We also got a chance to hang out with the owner, who's super personable and fun to talk to! Honestly, it was such a fun first night in Florence with pretty decent food, I'd definitely stop by again if I get the chance!

The staff was friendly and understood English. They also have the American breakfast for those of you looking to have a sit down egg and toast with coffee type of breakfast.

They have wine, champagne, a large variety of liquor and more than enough desserts to order. Great spot to hang out with and look at if you are in need of a break from roaming around. Oh and their bathrooms are just as cute and also very clean.

It is a very small french wine and cheese shop with a small but nice selection of french pantry items that would might be hard to find elsewhere. They have a couple of sizes/brands of cassoulet for example. They had a small but nice cheeses selection (all French) and a great wine selection. Prices are very reasonable. I got a Reblochon, a small cylinder shaped (bondes) goats milk cheese which was great, a Veuve Pelletier for €30 and a Fontbreuil Bordeaux Sauvignon (cant recall the price). The shopkeeper gave me a olive tapenade for free. French cheeses and wines are available elsewhere but this little shop brings together a nice collection and some harder to get pantry items at good prices. The only think it is missing is a baguette and maybe a few more options for bread/crackers.

I got the egg and truffle, my husband got a meat and truffle, both were fairly good (3/5). They had small chocolate chip, coconut, and chocolate cookies - got one each to try and the chocolate chip and coconut were our favorites. Paired with a white wine makes for a lovely afternoon.

I don't know if it's slow to me because crazy Americans think everything should be faster than not. So I wish I could give half stars. They are super nice ..,it just took a while to get my order in. The second thing that I don't think they can control is the people who walk around trying to sell you something. They're a bit aggressive. With me looking like them, they beelined for me the two times we sat there near the entrance. So I suggest sitting inside away from that because they can't come in. There is this little cute table that we sat at that is on the edge of the inside but the window is a roll up window giving you access to the outside patio. That is where the can still get to you but can't come all the way in....except this one lady. She stepped all the way in....i was shocked. And got aggressive with me when I told her no thank you. The trick?...they told me "I'm beautiful" "like your natural hair..." and since they liked me, they said "I give to you..." and handed me two bracelets and a fan. I said no thank you and she kept shouting "excuse me...I give to you..." I set them on the table and she gave me the son story of being pregnant and since she give to me, I should give to her for the gift. I said no one final time and she snatched everything off the table and left...FINALLY. Ugh. So not sure if the restaurant can do more but they need to.
