The bruschetta was a little underwhelming but very fresh. The chicken curry was good, not spicy at all, could've been more flavorful but that's just how British curry is. The fried goat cheese salad was good but could've used more goat cheese. The burger was also good, though definitely tasted different than an American burger. The homemade bun was excellent. The special sauce was great too, and citrusy! The waiter had great energy and great English. There was a very pretty tree centerpiece (pictured) that lended good ambience. Also some misters. Would definitely return!

I came here with my husband during our vacation to Italy for the first time and we sat outside of…read morethe patio. We ordered a couple of salad and the limoncello spritzes. My husband got the caesar, and once I saw his I had to try it. So I had some of his, immediately fell in love, and he switched salads with me. Then, I ordered a second caesar salad just for me. I've never had two lunches before, but this was the best salad I've had in my ENTIRE LIFE. The ingredients were fresh and perfect, the dressing was perfectly balanced and absolutely incredible. The spritzes at Odeon were my favorite drink in Italy. They even have a wine window if you just want that. I dream about this place. 5 stars isn't enough, they can have all the stars in the world.

We can here for a quick drink and found this place to be fun and hip...modern meets Italy!…read moreSurprisingly the place was empty on a Valentine's Day but we had a good time for our first nights drink. The drinks are made well and priced right. The service is friendly and accommodating for Italian standards. The only issue I had was there was only one bathroom which for a busy restaurant that can be a big problem. Otherwise we would definitely recommend this place for drinks!! Bottom line..come for a drink here if you are looking for something more modern and fun. It also could be a good place to just have light bites. Pros Drinks Light bites Modern vibe Friendly service Nice location Cons Only one bathroom

This place is beautiful, totally hipster (one of these many new hipster places in Florence totally…read morerenewing the old tratoria / osteria landscape), and the atmosphere is very festive - a bit noisy for sure but nice. It is 100% a "cool" place. And as such, they have developed this very characteristic symptom of coolness (evidence of this disease all over Europe) of "we do not accept reservation". Understand "we are so cool that we know you will wait". And i did. But i did once. I had a very nice moment and enjoyed the atmosphere a lot, especially on a saturday night. But the food did not convince me enough to have me wait again for so long. It was good but nothing spectacular. Probably i am not cool enough. So, what did we eat? Some salmon, with very very dry rice: i did not like at all. Some anchovies with spinach and burrata: this one i liked a lot, i find the alliances of these different ingredients very tasty. A falafel: it was ok, nothing special. Then for dessert, the mini bombe were good and the panna cotta was very good too. To sum up, the dessert were very good but i was not very impressed by the other tapas and even disliked one. Still worth going for this very cool atmosphere (and if you do not mind waiting). Writing those lines i realize that maybe i'll wait again once...

The plates here were all beautifully crafted, the atmosphere was so lively, and the service was extremely hospitable. As we waited for our table to be seated for dinner, the hostess brought us two free glasses of sparkling wine to enjoy! From the menu, we started with the black tagliolini pasta (made with cuttlefish ink) in a clam and zucchini cream sauce and topped with shaved bonito (smoked tuna). The tagliolini noodles weren't as al dente as I would've liked, but the light clam sauce and the bonito flakes made this a tasty dish. The piatto del giorno (dish of the day) was the one worth coming for--it came with four pieces of tender, meaty grilled octopus tentacles, along with a dark, umami oyster sauce and an airy, creamy parsnip foam, which added a nice acidity to the dish. The sauces and the foam were perfect for mopping up with the bread that came to the table, and this made for a really creative dish overall!

These burgers are crraaaaaazzyyyyy!!…read more Was brought here by a local as I once again needed a break from Tuscan cuisine, and a little slice of home. A hamburger and fries. Ha. I was obviously skeptical, especially when this place was located pretty far outside of the touristy area and I seemed to be the only one that didn't speak Italian in the place. The waitress could hardly speak English which I totally get and not a bad thing, but just trying to set the scene for y'all. The vibe of the place was Inspector gadget meets a Yardhouse. If you don't know what Yardhouse is, I can't blame you. It's a slightly upscale american bar/burger joint. I got the Perfect Burger, and it was ENORMOUS. Enough to feed a family of 3. Maybe 3 and a half. It was just one step shy of perfect. I was so rattled that I struggled even getting a quality pic of it. That's on me. I would consider this an elite burger back home!!

You're certain to be impressed. So, everyone told me not to eat burgers while traveling in Italy... but, after getting a bit tired of pasta, I did just that--twice! And, both times, I was not let down. One of those burger experiences was at Drogheria--a place that's a bit off the beaten path in Florence but definitely worth walking the extra distance for. For my burger, I tried the Supertuscanaccio (new according to their menu). This burger featured a burger patty as well as mushrooms, proscuitto, and pecorino mugellano cheese... all served on grilled panini-style bread! TASTY! Tony tried the Brunch Burger, which featured scrambled eggs, bacon, and cheese on the burger! He enjoyed his burger just as much as I did. Note that we happened to hit up Drogheria for Sunday Brunch, which I later learned is another thing they're known for besides burgers. Check this place out if you've been in Florence for a while and jonesing for a good burger! You'll definitely be glad you did!
