The food was a pleasure to eat. I ordered classic egg's Benedict. I wanted my egg poached medium…read morebut I was told by an unfriendly dry as dirt Italian waitress that I could only have it runny. I then had to take a little more time to find something else. A lovely American waitress came over and helped me.(I'm not saying she's lovely because she's American, she just was really friendly) She explained that the cook makes all the poached eggs in one big pot and can't specialize one for a customer. She said they could fry it medium well and that worked for me. The other waitress offered to fry the egg or scramble it but she just wasn't friendly, and she didn't give me all the choices of how I could get the egg fried. That really helped me make my choice. The egg's Benedict came with American pork bacon and not Canadian bacon. The hollandaise sauce was deliciousness, but they give you such a small amount. They need to double it. Another reviewer mentioned how good the green hot sauce was, so I tried it. It was spot on great!! I made sure every bite had the green sauce on it. I usually only like shredded hash browns but their breakfast potatoes were perfect. They weren't hard and had a good flavor. The restaurant was clean but very small. It had a nice relaxing feel. I love to try the food of the country I'm visiting, but after traveling for two weeks it was nice to have something I eat at home. The eggs Benedict was a treat. I had the hot amaretto coffee drink and that just hit the spot and made the waiting to be seated all worth it. The had many types of milk you can put in your coffee, for example, they have soy milk, oat milk, etc. I would definitely recommend this place and come back. Oh and the less than friendly waitress served my food to me with a smile, but she never smiled again and never accepted my thank you's no matter how much I said them. Word of advice don't have a sad face if they can't provide something the way you want it if the waitress is blond and Italian. That will not go over well. You're not allowed to be quietly disappointed.

We had the avocado, salmon eggs plate and the eggs benedict. Both were perfectly prepared and exactly what you would hope for in a top-tier cafe. The eggs had a hint of orange citrus that added to the joy of the meal. This super comfortable, clean restaurant with fantastic service and food will be on our best-of-best list in the future!

This review is long overdue for our visit back in November of 2024. I was looking up Nduja recipe…read moreand reminded myself this was the place that initiated my love for Nduja sauce. American/Aussie owned bakery brunch spot by the river, such a cute little eatery. We loved our visit and though it's definitely more of a touristy spot, as most customers spoke English, the food was delicious to forgo the tourist trappy vibes. We shared a plate and added some items as we didn't want to get too stuffed on our first day of Florence. We had the Nduja Eggs plate with bacon and avocado added. Nduja is a spicy Calabrian pepper spreadable pork sauce, and oh boy was it so flavorful. If I remembered correctly, Melaleuca spread this sauce on top of a fried bread and eggs. I don't see it on the menu at the moment and it's probably a rotatable dish... but it definitely kicked started my hunt for the sauce. Since this is a spreadable pork, it's not something I could bring back to the US but I was able to find it online back home. The service was amazing and the beverages were delicious. Like many Italian places, the dining room is small and bathroom is a single small room that might require a small wait if they're busy. Didn't get to try their baked goods this last time, but definitely on our list to go back for more when we're back to Florence for a visit.

I then went to make another order , I told him iced tea , he looks at me like I'm stupid and says , which iced tea there's a lot of different ones , in the US iced tea is a specific drink so I didn't know . He could have just explained how it works and not look at me or talk to me very sarcastically . Where I'm from it's disrespectful but I have to be polite no matter how rude someone is. The bathroom is very dirty. Has foul smell. Also no one is there to wipe down the tables when people finish so it was dirty. Food was not bad to be honest but the service and cleanliness could have been better . Italy offers the best in many things but I won't be coming back to this location. If this guy was not there I think we would have had a better experience without a doubt The same guy will be responding to this post by the way

If you're American and traveling like me the value is completely worth it. €2 for house wine (which is from Tuscany) and €3 euro for wine from Naples! Would definitely recommend as a casual meal!

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!
