If youre looking for a sandwich that will surely please your tastebuds, this place is the spot! Ive…read moretried a few of these sandwich shops around the area and I' Girone de' Ghiotti stands out on top. From the perfectly baked bread that is warm, a crunchy outer and isnt dense, to the fantastic combination of ingredients, I was enjoying every bit (and/or bite) of my sandwich. I ordered the La Rossa and wow my tastebuds were dancing. The prosciutto, truffle cream, brie and arugula made for such a delicious sandwich. Ugh, I cant wait to try more. I ended up finding a seat at the narrow and small bar area along the cramped space where you order/pay for your order. There is more seating upstairs but I didnt get to see it. I didnt mind that small area to eat since eating a sandwich isnt very space-consuming.

The Italians are not afraid to discuss politics and are refreshingly frank about their opinions. The wine selections by the glass are on the board. Prices range from cheap to not so cheap, but fair.

After I get off the train and drop off my bags, this is the first place I go to.

Wish we had more time to do their wine tasting. The man helping us with the wine was friendly and very nice. He was patient with us and helped us pick the wine to try. The two ladies at the entrance to the store weren't as friendly.

In terms of wine, it was better than what you will get by the glass at most osterias. And you'd…read morebetter get a board, the flights have a lot of wine. I really appreciated a chance to get some good examples of Tuscan styles side by side. Yeah, it's E25, but it's far better than 4 of the E6 glasses you'll get elsewhere, plus the portions on the boards are very generous. Honestly, the "snack" size could serve 2. I really wanted to just sit and read a book and drink wine for an hour, and this perfectly fit the bill. One star minus because the whole place has one dude to make boards, pour wine, explain wine, and run the front bottle shop. I know Italian service is slower, but oof.

The place was packed and it appeared they only had one guy working there. He was trying his best to get to everyone, but there were delays. Yet, he still smiled and worked hard to make sure guests were taken care of. Their wine selection is very nice; they offer flights, glasses, or bottles. If you're into wine, it's a nice place to stop!

We grabbed a bottle of wine on a warmer June afternoon after a day of exploring, which was definitely refreshing. The location isn't much as it overlooks a pretty bare piazza. The service can be a bit on the slower side, especially when I walked in and tried to get the bill. But still if you're able to get a table it's a pretty quaint wine bar. It seemed like they had some flights/tastings, which would have been an interesting option.

Title: Great wine selection, but disappointing service from our server Noemi…read moreWe visited Enoteca Pitti Gola because it was recommended by Wine Spectator, and the wine list truly is impressive -- an extensive and well-curated selection of Italian wines. We were two couples and went for some wine and light snacks. When we arrived, there wasn't a table available for four, so we had to sit separately. Once a table behind our friends became available, we asked to move so we could sit closer together, but our server, Noemi, wasn't very accommodating and seemed somewhat annoyed by the request. We mentioned that we wanted to share a few dishes and asked about portion sizes, but Noemi didn't explain things clearly and wasn't very friendly. She insisted the plates weren't meant for sharing, which turned out not to be true. The wine itself was excellent, and the snacks were good -- but the overall service from Noemi felt unfriendly and not very customer-oriented. I'd still recommend the place if you're interested in trying great Italian wines, but be aware that the service experience may not match the quality of the wine.

We stayed nearby and walked in one day to get some wine, and wow--they have some very special wines that you can't find in other wine shops, and they have great price points for the quality. Also, the artworks are fascinating--as was our conversation with Laura! It's recommended you call ahead and make a tasting appointment. After having spent a month in Firenze, we found the selection of wines and the experience here to be our favorite, very unique and singular!

My friend recommended Grape Tours and I felt relief as there was no easy way to have that kind of experience with 8 family members without a car. We selected Fabulous Tuscany! We walked to the wine and cheese shop right from our Airbnb in Florence. We were greeted by Rebecca at 8:45AM, and our driver for the day, Daniel at 9AM as planned. All 8 of us had an amazing day with Daniel visiting Campo Sasso with Pierre (and Frisbee their amazing pup!), sampling wine, balsamic and cheese (all incredible!) on their gorgeous country grounds. Then onto Tenuta La Novella, another beautiful winery with unique wine barrels and fabulous wine and honey to die for! Again the pups (Little Nana especially) kept us entertained. Our final stop was with Miscia at Tenuta Montiani and just wow! Miscia *and his pups!* shared a meal with us that was out of this world and his hospitality and stories top notch. One of the best days on our trip together and I highly recommend Rebecca and Pierre's special itinerary they put together for a varied winery experience! My only negative was it had to come to an end :( Thank you!!!
