Our taxi driver was complaining about all the overpriced steaks in the city and recommended this spot. It's not touristy. The steak was good. The owner, Christian, was great. He was proud of his menu, spoke English, and was happy to guide us through his menu.

The reason why I think this place deserves five stars is because I really liked their burger, and…read moreit is rare that I have found a bacon/cheddar burger that is so flavourful, with a good bun in the center of Florence. That and the rubs are really really good. I like the fact that places like this are opening up in Florence, that offer a contemporary vibe but that serve really good, simple but beautifully presented food. I recommend heading to the back of the restaurant, which is nicely furnished with mismatched vintage wine glasses which add a nice touch. The service was really quite attentive, even though we were there for a late night meal and with my burger and glass of rose, I spent less than 20 euros, basically a win for a cool sit-down restaurant. They just opened which makes it even more impressive that the service is so good, I am very intrigued by their cocktail menu which also has a 'gecko mule' their take on the classic moscow mule that anyone who knows me knows that I love me some ginger beer! Perfect for lunch/dinner/ a drink or all three, I definitely approve!

A couple of friends and I ventured into Gecko after a big Florentine dinner in San Niccolo', and…read morethis was the perfect way to end the night. We ordered gin and tonics which were exceptional and then the bartender made us the specialty of the house, a concoction of several fruits and alcohols (that I can't remember) which were absolutely delicious. The evening ambience of Gecko is lively and hip, and the bar staff is friendly and chatty. I would definitely go back again for a night out and to try their food as well.

We took a chance at Oibo at lunch time since it was just right there. There were a few tables and chairs and it looked like it could be a club/lounge at night so we could only hope they had something edible. We got seated in the back which had more tables and chairs. I ordered the bistecca alla Fiorentina that comes with fried potatoes. I was not asked how I wanted it cooked. The steak was huge so I ended up cutting it in half to give to my sister. It was bloodier than my usual medium-rare so I had it re-fired without a problem. I think they only used salt to season the meat but it was incredibly good and flavorful. Less is more. We were really surprised by how good the food was. What was even more surprising was the price. It's quite inexpensive. It was a happy chance incident.

DINNER REVIEW…read more Discovered this small restaurant just by chance, walking in front of it and finding quite the line outside. The place is small, a few tables set along the walls, the counter with fresh fishes exposed. Service is very nice and also quite the Osteria type, very jovial and playful. On the blackboard the menu of the day, but we weren't fast enough to savor it and we ended up with a big platter of grilled shellfish. The fish was nice and desserts later were quite the heavy ones, but very very tasty. Spent 28 Euros each and we didn't have any alchool. They did offer us 1 out of 2 desserts, but I still think fish is way too pricy for the simplicity of the food we had.
