The pasta proportions is exactly like a cup. It was good!! Wouldn't recommend the chicken Alfredo though. That wasn't worth it. I don't know why I got it. read more

Ciro & Sons - Pesto pasta and chicken Alfredo - Italian Near Me - Florence, FI

One of the best experiences I've ever had in a restaurant! All of the food was bursting with flavor, it was perfectly priced, and the service was amazing. Our waiter was attentive and made sure that everything we could need was taken care of, even warmed up the honey my mom ordered for her tea. One of the sons even came to check on us before we left to ensure there were no complaints or anything he could have done to make the experience better. I highly recommend to anyone that is here visiting Florence and wants an amazing meal. read more

Another Gluten Free Friendly restaurant. EVERYTHING on the menu can be ordered GF. I had to order a pizza for dinner ( my 4th on this 2week trip). And it was good .. compared to the use very good! But compared to the Pizza from Lorenzo de Medici, it was a B.. the crust was thin and not as good. The desserts were good, service excellent.. give this place a shot! You can make online reservations which is convenient. read more

This place was incredible. The ambiance was tasteful, the food excellent, and the service was lovely. I've eaten gluten free for years now and this place does NOT disappoint. Anything can be made gluten free and dairy free and they take cross contamination very seriously. It was refreshing to have a fine dining experience that did not make me feel less than. They were warm and welcoming and did not mind my allergy at all. read more

Ciro & Sons - Nepolitan beef and onion sauce on pasta - Italian Near Me - Florence, FI

So disappointing...came from Rome where the gluten free food is off the charts on taste and affordability. The food (pizza- GF buratta/pesto and pasta- GF pear/cheese ravioli) was below average. Also, we ordered a house Chianti and the waiter said they were all out of Chianti (really in the whole restaurant!?) and conveniently brought us their named wine Don Ciro which was the worst wine we've had in Italy or elsewhere. So sad, as I had high hopes for this place based on some reviews. read more

Ciro & Sons - Bad house named wine... - Italian Near Me - Florence, FI

We made a reservation here because it was so highly rated for people with celiac. Good thing we did, because there was a long line of people waiting the whole time. There are THREE separate kitchens! One for GF. They also service gluten, vegan, and dairy-free. What a concept - everyone is happy!! My college-aged kids with celiac felt so comfortable here due to the separate kitchen, and declared this their best dinner in Florence. We enjoyed it too - very nice ambiance inside and outside. Wish we had returned here the following night instead of where we went instead (across the street). read more

Great place to unwind, relax, drink great wine, and eat pasta, pizza, and more. The meat selection was also fantastic and we enjoyed the friendly staff as well read more

Amazing! We ordered calamari, octopus, pasta, pizza, sea bass, salads, spritzers and wines. Loved every bite of every item. Would definitely 10/10 recommend. read more

Great place to enjoy some Florence delights! The story of this place is interesting and we can chat with the sons of the owner who welcome us and give us suggestions! The pasta dish was delicious with the spicy tomato sauce, the pizza dough is to die for with its smell coming out from the wood oven and best of the best is the Firenze style grilled beef! So tasty and juicy! read more

Best restaurant in Florence. Quality food served traditionally or gluten and dairy free. I had a gluten and milk allergy so had a pizza with GF flour and A delicious dairy and soy free cheese! Next day i had gluten free pasta that was delicious and al dente! Quality and great service! read more

One of the best pizzas I've ever eaten and it's GLUTEN FREE! Service was good but not great but it's also high season in Florence.

This place was great and if you're American like me, they will make you second guess a lot of the Italian food you had back home. They get it right here and for the price you will get some of the best without busting your pockets. The pizza was some of the best I've had, crust was light as air, sauce was super flavorful, the cheese blend is great, and the spicy salami was a great topping. Put it all together and you get a work of food art. I tried the gnocchi which were so soft and nicely made, the sauce was on point. The pear ravioli were the best item and that's saying a lot, I highly recommend squeezing this item on your table no matter what. It's one of the best pasta creations I've ever had. For either tourist and locals, this one is a excellent choice when around. I would go back again if I was ever near by them. read more

Attention Florence goers - you have to eat here! Their entire menu (with the exception of a couple of desserts) can be made gluten free! The restaurant itself is very cute and located near the central market/city center, and the staff is very friendly. The pecorino ravioli might've been the best ravioli I have ever had. It had a cream sauce along with pieces of pear, drizzled with balsamic (it sounds odd but it was amazing). Their margarita pizzas are very good both regular and gluten free. Their tiramisu was delicious, and the cheesecake was pretty good (I don't love banana but it worked). Overall, you should definitely try to come here if you're in town! GET THAT RAVIOLI. read more

Ciro & Sons was recommended by my hangry mood the day we got back in Florence after visiting the wine region for a few days. After visiting the Duomo and sweating bullets, my friend and I were super hungry so we walked around for a bit looking for the restaurant she passed earlier in the day. She thought this was it so we sat down outside. They definitely cater to the tourists because everyone speaks English so well. If you're not into gluten, their pizzas are gluten free. We were fairly hungry so we ordered a feast like we usually do. The brought out a plate of toasted bread soaked in olive oil along with olives. The bread in Italy is pretty horrible, but theirs was decent. It was the first time I didn't complain about the bread. Once again, nothing disappointed. Everything we ate was out of this world good. I decided to go basic and got a chicken alfredo with truffle oil. That truffle was bangarang. I made sure to save my friend a few bites so she could understand why I was making some weird sounds after every bite. Shoutout to the woman who came out at the end of the meal to see if we wanted dessert or coffee. She was seriously entertaining. Just the right amount of banter. She totally got my humor and was such a nice change from all the other city folk we've dealt with. It also didn't hurt that you get to have a really nice view if you sit outside. The inside was also really nice. I got a quick look on our way out since we had to use the WC and saw their awesome wine collection. read more

This is such a wonderful, unpretentious place, initially recommended by a friend. We have come back to this spot all three times we've been in Firenze. The family really knows how to handle their business and treat customers and it feels like home when we visit. Even when it gets crowded, the staff never gets frazzled. (The staff is the same all three times we've been there). We've always eaten outside, so my review is for outdoor dining. First, if you are gluten-free, they have a separate kitchen to keep your food that way. Everything they make is delicious and spot on We've enjoyed pizza, and pasta with lobster. It was everything these New Yorkers wished we had back home. read more

Everything here was average at best. Ordered the pear and cheese ravioli and Pizza with pesto and Buffalo cheese. Grant it, my wife is celiac so we ordered everything gluten free. I felt other places I've eaten at were way better for gluten free. Another issue ...we felt duped on the wine where we asked for chianti and ended up with one of their own wines which wasn't even average. read more

Extensive gluten free menu and excellent fresh food. Friendly service and reasonable prices. EVERYTHING on their menu can be done gluten free. Nice patio on a quiet street; we will definitely be returning. read more

Tight seating and very crowded. I had GF pizza and it was pretty good. Partner had ravioli and gives it 4 stars. Overall, a great selection of GF food. The service was excellent. Tiramisu seemed like more of a mousse. Gluten free bread was a little toasted too much. Salads were very good. read more

From the moment we walked in the door till the moment we walked out the owners and staff made us feel so special and welcomed. We were the to celebrate our 25th anniversary and they made it so special. The service was great but the food was without a doubt the best we have had in Italy since arriving. My wife and I agree this is a must go to if in Florence/Firenze. Thank you all for a wonderful evening. read more

Ciro & Sons - Celebrating 25 years of happiness and marriage. - Italian Near Me - Florence, FI

A very solid restaurant, well located between Basilica Santa Maria Novella and the Duomo. We had the tomato salad and fried calamari for appetizer (crunchy and spiced well), salmon (my son loved it), gnocchi (the star), and mezzi pacheri con genevese (pasta with meat sauce, tasty but sparing on the meat), with sides of spinach and mushroom (well prepared and generous portions). Very friendly service and reasonable prices. read more

We absolutely loved this place! The energy and warmth was there from the minute we arrived. The staff was friendly and we never felt rushed. The food was delicious and unique. We started with the fried calamari which also had fried zucchini with it. Delicious! My husband had the spaghetti with lobster and I had the house special pasta both were unique and delicious. As I watched some of the pizza go by I regretted not having that too! I highly recommend this place for a wonderful meal and evening. read more

Great experience. Service was very good. Everything we ordered was 10/10. I would go back here anytime. Loved the pizza, steak, pasta, and sea bass. read more

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Especially for my gluten free and lactose free friends! Had dinner my first night in Florence, enjoyed it so much I HAD to return again. Everything on the menu can be made gluten free, pasta, pizza you name it. Place was super cute, looked upscale but with reasonable prices. As soon as you walk right in you can see the big pizza oven right in front (open kitchen) Service was incredible. Got seated immediately, as soon as I told them I had a gluten allergy they would bring items to the table and would tell me it's safe. Complimentary crunchy bread/olive oil and olives and bread all GF. First night I had fried calamari with Marinara sauce, pepperoni pizza with lactose free cheese made from almonds and a crepe with passionfruit marmalade (extremely sweet, would of requested less marmalade in the future) for dessert. 2nd night the tomato soup (more chunky then soup but still good with the complimentary bread to dip with) and pasta with calamari and crepe with sugar for dessert. If I stayed one more night in Florence I would of return again. Staff was great but my favorite is the lady who brings out the desserts, she brings the spice to the end of your night! read more

If you're going to dine here, sit outside! Beautiful views of the street and the unique Florentine architecture can be seen from here. Our appetizer was simply bread in olive oil & olives. Not bad. The 'house' wine was a regional wine from Florence called Ruffino il Ducale - excellent. One entree was salmon served with sliced apples garnished with avocado. This was probably the best tasting salmon I had during my stay in Italy. I was so surprised how well the apples paired with the fish. Well done. My meal was a Florentine classic - linguine with lobster. The pasta was absolutely amazing. Not a fan of lobster, but for what it was worth, it was good. - For a side dish we shared potatoes which were delicious. I'd visit this place again. Great location, food & seating. read more

Being gluten free, Ciro & Sons was one of the best discoveries on our recent trip to Italy. While my preference is always for off-the-beaten-path tiny restaurants and Ciro is NOT that, their full gluten free menu and friendly staff made it absolutely worth our while! I had gluten free bruschetta, tagliatelli with pesto, and pizza with prosciutto. Not to mention, gluten free Peroni beer! The food was amazing. My husband- not usually a fan of my gluten free options- admitted it was one of the best we've ever had! Seating it tight and ambient noise in on the loud side! I will definitely be back! read more

Food was amazing, priced right and accommodated our table of seven right away! Highly recommend the pizza

Amazing dinner. Great atmosphere and thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The pasta was delicious! I also had the cheesecake. Yummy!

Excellente! The service was superb and food delish. Even though every restaurant in Florence closes early, we were able to get a table walking up at 9 for inside. The staff was very friendly. I speak little Italiano or broken Italian so it can be challenging at times. However, a couple of waiters knew English which helped. One runner even apologized for not knowing any English. I told her no problem but wished I could have translated that we should be the one apologizing! The service passed American standards. The followed up on every plate and even asked us if we wanted the check. I ordered the fettuccine alfredo de tartufo (fettuccine alfredo with black truffles). It was so good... I ate it all. My hubby ordered the cheese ravioli which was OMG good... I was jealous. We even ordered dessert knowing that nothing would be open after we left. read more

Flashy on the outside, middling to bad on the inside. Sadly Ciro and sons disappointed. Service was sporadic, though friendly when present. Food... olives provided as an app were tasteless. We orders appetizers of the assorted street foods and calamari. The calamari were not hit and we had to send them back. The returned product was just fine. The street foods we okay. Mains: pizza was underdone. Shrimp risotto was also underdone and oily. Really disappointing. Don't bother with this Florence joint. read more

What a nice lunch treat we stumbled on. This place looked promising as we walked to the train station. Beautiful interior a former home to a powerful Pope. Staff is very friendly and one of the son married a US mid-western girl, so English is not a problem here. We share a wonderful salad, pizza and each a pasta, the lasagna being the best. All was very good the salad was a highlight also as the tomatoes were amazing and arugula very flavorful. Nice selection of wines and 1/2 bottle selection was great for lunch. read more

Went there for the gluten free options which it is known for. I ordered a GF vegetarian pizza that I can safely say was the best I've ever had. Incredibly thin dough but with a nice crust on the edge. Excellent. But, nothing else was great. The Arancini was good but the other starters were only okay and the bruschetta (GF as well) was bad. My wife had the GF pear ravioli while my son had the non-GF version of the same. The pears added nothing and it was basically a simple ravioli with a cream sauce. My son didn't finish his. The place was crowded but beautiful and the service was slow because it was so busy. Other than the pizza I would not return. read more

It was late and the restaurant we had a reservation for lost our reservation. Instead of waiting for a table we hopped on Yelp to see what was close by. Ciro & Sons was close by and had good reviews so we gave it a try. We were seated quickly and while the place was beautiful we felt a bit wary of only hearing English around us. That was later pacified with the deliciousness of the food and the sudden late night influx of Italians leaving us as the only (native) English speaking couple in the place. The building itself is the home of a former pope and you could tell the opulence that it was when it was a small palace. The service was impeccable. We were walked through the menu and all our questions were answered. We opted to do two courses of an appetizer each and a pasta dish. When we got to the wines we asked for a recommendation and went with their special house wine. We were glad we did. It was perfect with our dinner. We ended the evening with glasses of limoncello ice cold and in frosty glasses. While one of our more expensive meals it was well worth it. The food was divine and the wine delicious. They even gave us complimentary olives and bread while we waited for dinner. For appetizers I went with the Sformato di Carciofi con Verdurine Grigliate and my spouse had the Pappa al Pomodoro. The main course I chose was the Gnocchi alla Sorrentina and my spouse had the Fiocco di Pecorino Toscano e Pere William's. This will definitely be on our radar for our next trip to Florence. read more

food was okay, if i was back in america i would have probably rated it higher, but the food here just doesn't compare to the other cuisine i've had over the last few months. servers were nice, food came out a bit slow, and the ambiance was very touristy. probably wouldn't come back here if it was my choice, but pizza was alright! read more
