The owner and staff were fantastic, very knowledgeable and provided great recommendations. The wine bar itself is a small quaint little place. Probably seats about 12 to 15 people total and has plenty of windows so you can see passersby and people watch. The cheeseboard? Get the cheeseboard. They do a fantastic job of pairing everything together to really bring so many flavors to your tastebuds. Their house wine is phenomenal and they take great pride in finding the grapes/different varietals to make it come to life. They have a both a red and a white house wine option. The second time we went - and yes, we went more than once in the four days we were there - we enjoyed one of the sandwiches and it was absolutely amazing. The bread, I can't even explain, the bread it's so flavorful and so good and so light. That paired with the delicious meats and cheeses were 100% worth it. I definitely recommend this location to anybody who is visiting Florence regularly or for their first time.

It was delicious and so light! We also ordered wine. We got the Rosso di Montalcino 2024 and it was definitely one of the best glasses of wine I ever had. The steak we had was also amazing. It was tender and so flavorful. The potatoes were also fantastic! At the end of the meal, we had Vin Santo (dessert wine that you dip biscotti in). Very delicious, but very strong. Lastly, the server (maybe manager or owner) brought us out complimentary limoncello. It was also delicious. We definitely had to walk (or try to walk) it off after all that! I can't say enough about the food and service. We went to another steak place a few days before at Trattoria Dalloste. It was a couple of doors away from this place. The service and food didn't even compare to this place. We spent a lot more money for rubbery and fatty steak. They also tried to overcharge us. So, do yourself a favor and try La Cantinetta Osteria con Cucina. You won't be disappointed! If we ever go back to Firenze, we would go back to this restaurant in a heartbeat.

If we were in a restaurant in American, where we are from, we'd have asked for something else as substitute. I had a risotto dish that was good enough, but the wine pour could have been better. If you come to this place, you may like it enough, based on other reviews, but definitely don't order their atrocious lasagna. Grocery store lasagna is better.

This is the only review you need to see! This place, is INCREDIBLE! Definitely one of the top burgers I've ever had and I've been all over the US. My wife and I tried many many burger joints in Rome/Sorrento/Florence, and they all were terrible, McDonalds was better than them all. We found this place thank goodness bc it blew us away. Amazing, marbled beef cooked perfectly (medium rare) very soft , very clean . Good bun. The fries are good, nothing special there, but good quality fries for sure. 1000000% must try read more

The sign in front of the building says "2nd best burger in Florence..." All I can say is, I guess I haven't tasted the 1st. I had a burger at a cafe in Rome & had basically accepted that you couldn't get a good burger in a Italy, but decided to give this place a shot. BEST. DECISION. EVER. I'm from Kansas--trust me, we take our burgers very seriously--and these burgers were delicious & affordable. 10/10 recommend. read more

My family on vacation stopped in for a bit of "home" (US) cooking. Burgers and service were excellent. Owner spent some years in Boston, so he brought a bit of a unique concept back to his home in Florence. Burgers were fabulous and, unusual in Italy, they actually asked how you would like your burger cooked, which accommodated one child who likes hamburgers closer to well done. read more

Probably one of the best burgers I have ever had. The beef is organic from grass fed cows and just tastes so juicy. I had their namesake burger; Cloud59 and probably should have ordered 2. The employees were really kind and made you feel welcome. If you can find this little gem, it is definitely worth the Euros. read more

He was more than happy to let us sample several beers and even brought us an order of fries we didn't order.

We needed to try these sandwiches. So after a brief discussion with the guy manning the window (they roast the pigs outside the city, and just serve them here - it's not a large space) we got three of them. The classic, the one with the truffles, and the spicy one. We cut them all up, and presented them to our larger group as a porchetta tasting. The verdict? They are all winners. Every single sandwich was good. However, they didn't taste as different as one might think. The porchetta itself overrides the truffle/spice, and while that's not a bad thing, I think I'd like a little more of the sauce on each. Do with that what you will, but you should probably get at least one. Maybe not three.
