Came here for dinner and enjoyed a delicious dinner and glasses of wine. The Ribollita and the Pappa Al Pomodoro were both hearty and comforting which was perfect for the cold weather. The soups were all well prepared and the medley of ingredients were just absolutely enjoyable. It was the first time I tried these traditional Tuscan soups and I'll be looking for more in the future. As for the pork dish (Arista di Maiale), the meat was very tender, savory and so tasty. I chose to get a glass of red wine to enjoy with the meal and I like their model where they bring you a newly opened bottle and only charge you by what you pour. Smart on them since of course I poured myself more than one glass so really it's a win win for both. Reservations are highly recommended and there are no English menus available. Thankfully, one of the staff flagged down another worker who spoke english and was able to walk me through the menu. He was very friendly, helpful and patient. I cannot wait to go back and try the other traditional Florentine dish, the 1kg steak :) read more

Got lucky and got in without a reservation, I guess thats a perk of visiting Firenze in winter. Seated immediately, ordered 2 glasses of surprisingly excellent Prosecco (at any price but these were a very reasonable 5e each). Ordered the fresh pasta ravioli with pears and the baked tiramisu. Excellent, both of them. The people next to us had such a good meal they planned to return the next day for lunch. Five stars! But make a reservation or prepare to be disappointed... read more

Del Fagioli - Fresh pasta with pears - Italian Near Me - Florence, FI

This place was great. We were tired and stumbled in here on our first night in Florence. The food was great, servers were friendly and attentive, and the location is perfect. Highly recommend a reservation for a later dining time. They start to fill up around 8/8:30. The menu is in Italian but the waiters are nice and speak English enough to help explain the food. The owner served us and split both our orders for each plate because he knew we would split. Bruschetta- great fresh tomatoes. House red- good, full body Roast beef- tender and savory Pork- tender and so good. Potato's Spinach Pay up front whenever you're ready. read more

This continues to be a home run restaurant. We had a bowl of Papa al Pomodorro and ribolita to start. Just heartwarming, tasty plates that brought smiles to our faces. We followed with polpette and ossobuco and the meal was complete. The bill was under 50 euros. the small team was amazing, checking in with us. The place was busy but not overcrowded. There was plenty of joy with a good mixture of locals with tourists. 2nd time at this restaurant and will make sure to go back. read more

Michelin Guide recommended trattoria in Florence known for Florentine steaks. I think you can book reservations ahead but we arrived at opening for lunch and were the first ones there so no wait. Service was kind and the waiter actually helped us with ordering so we could try a couple things without over or under ordering, especially in regards to the steak. Cash only. Steak is 58 euros per kilo, which amounts to about 2lbs inclusive of bone and meat. One kilo is the smallest size you can order. Plenty of meat for just two people, especially with a couple other dishes to try. One thing to note is that Florentine steaks are served on the rarer side. Comes as a t-bone cut seasoned with salt. Especially flavorful, meaty, and rich but balanced by a side salad that was recommended. Also had a chicken liver dish spread on bread. Simpler presentation than the one from Podere 39 with a simpler flavor. read more

Racist- No service, Left hungry This is the first time I've ever felt so clearly discriminated against, and it's incredibly disheartening. No service for us. My friend and I arrived hungry and stood outside the restaurant for a while. Two people were let in ahead of us without even a glance in our direction. When we eventually stepped inside and asked if a table was available, we were told, rather bluntly, that it was cash only. We confirmed we had cash, and only then were we finally seated by a waitress. We waited for 30 minutes at the table, and no one came to take our order or even acknowledge us. I had to wave down a waitress, who said she'd call her colleague. Still, no one came. Eventually, my friend walked over to speak directly with another waitress. She looked at us apologetically and spoke with a waiter -- but again, nothing happened. A kind couple sitting next to us, who weren't locals, noticed what was happening and tried to help by speaking up for us. Unfortunately, even that didn't make a difference. In the end, we had to leave without eating, still hungry, and needing to be up early the next morning. I usually hesitate to call something ra*sm -- I try to believe misunderstandings can happen, especially across languages or cultures. But this was the first time I experienced something that felt so blatant. I'm not angry, just sad. Sad that people like this still exist. I also felt sorry for the kind couple who had to witness it, and for the waitresses who clearly didn't feel empowered to act differently. This experience stood in stark contrast to the many lovely, kind people I've met around the world. I'm still grateful for them -- and even more aware of how much kindness matters. And Google won't let me or my friend review this place! Heads up folks for this miserable place. I later saw that they threw out a family with two kids in a trip advisor review. read more

Cash only!! Ensure you make reservations. Located a bit away from the touristy center point but well worth the distance. We came for the bistecca fiorentina and were certainly not disappointed. The steak is brought out raw first to showcase to you before it's dropped onto the grill. We shared 1.2kg of steak and the penne meat sauce pasta, along with the fagiolini verde and were stuffed. Our servers were super efficient but very friendly. The pasta was also cooked well and their house wine is quite good. The entire staff including kitchen thanked us on our way out, it was a lovely experience! read more

Del Fagioli - Italian Near Me - Florence, FI

Our best meal in Italy as much for the food as the kindness and patience of the owner, Antonio. Due to a booking error on our part, they didn't have our reservation on their books. They were totally committed and turned other walk in customers away. We were disappointed and ready to leave when Antonio told us declaratively, "Don't worry, you will eat here tonight." The food was a true quality experience in Tuscan food. They explained EVERY item on the menu. We started with two soups: the Ribolito and the Papa Di Pomodoro. Both fantastic and so unlike any soup I have had because of the added bread. I ate these soups with a fork. Try one or both as starters. Pasta was next and we had the Penne and Picci. One had a meat sauce and the other plain tomato sauce. Simple and pure in flavors. We ended with a 1.3 kilo steak shared 4 ways which was charred on the outside and still mooing on the inside. Delicious. We also had beans and potatoes which were delicious and not mooing at all. Desert was a slice of homemade custard torte and a slice of apple/pear torte. Everyone, starting with Antonio, was gracious, warm and patient even though they had to squeeze to let us in. All in all, our most memorable meal in a trip filled with good meals. read more

Delicious homemade, traditional Tuscan food. We tried the mixed appetizer, a simple tomato based pasta dish and the ossobuco. The pasta sauce was simple yet so rich because of the quality ingredients. For dessert we had the apple, ricotta and vinsanto cake which was served warm and was the perfect sweet close to our meal. read more

We first went to Ristorante del Fagioli 5 or 6 years ago and it was unplanned and last minute. We showed up right before they closed for lunch, but they took pity on us and couldn't have been nicer. The meal was fantastic and memorable enough that since that amazing experience we have been looking for an opportunity to return and eat another great meal and that moment arrived for us. We made reservations for lunch because we didn't want to miss our opportunity, and because they aren't open on the weekends. I have been wanting to try a classic tomato and bread soup, Pappa al Pomodoro, since I made it at home so I could get a sense of how it is supposed to be made, so we ordered a bowl to split. This tomato and bread soup is simple, but they made a delicious soup delicate and subtle with hints of onions and basil. It was a great start to the meal. Our mains were boiled beef with a green sauce (Magro di Manzo con Salsa Verde) with a side of Tuscan white beans (Fagioli bianchi Toscani) and Ossobuco alla Fiorentina. This was our first time trying boiled beef and that alone was delicious and more flavorful than we imagined it could be, but it was brought to a new level with the green sauce (salsa verde). The side of white beans rounded out the course, but were expectedly understated, which worked for us. The Ossobuco is a familiar dish for me, but the Florentine style was new. The tomatoes paired well with the slow-cooked meat, which, although a bit hidden by the sauce, was quite a bit larger than I was expecting. It was tender and delicious. We got a very simple house red wine that was inexpensive but tasted great and went well with all the traditional dishes we enjoyed. We finished with some espresso, but skipped dessert because we were pretty full. We were so happy that we wanted to return during our three-day trip to Firenze, but this is when we learned they aren't open on the weekends and we were sad. Next time! read more

Really enjoyed this restaurant. Excellent service. Ribolitta was good, but too bread heavy to be my favorite. The raviolli was very good and different. Is it a top thing? No, but very enjoyable. Had this sausage red sauce with Tagilettelli, one of the best red sauces I have had at a restaurant ever. Florentine steak was great. Not sure how it compares to other. Had the cream cake for dessert - if I come back would get another dessert. read more

Best sandwiches I have ever had , wish I lived closer I Julie go all the time and the staff was amazing

I highly recommend this restaurant if you are looking for good food and service, i only gave four stars because they don't take credit card and it was a big hazzle for us tourist to find an atm machine. The server shiuld have informed us that they don't take credit card before he even seated us. read more

Really enjoyed this small restaurant, nice staff. Fresh delicious food. We found it for lunch and a few days later it was a perfect dinner after a very long day. We will return on our next trip to Florence. read more

Do not get the Passa Di Fagioli soup. Looks and tastes like Plaster of Paris (yes, I was a little kid once and know what that taste and smells like). The tagliatelle pasta, on the other hand, was delicious. A simple tomato based sauce with a bright flavor prevailed. Probably makes anyone who cooks think "I could do that!" As simple as the dish appears, it is likely beyond what most home chefs can pull off. Believe me, I've tried and will continue to do so. Your luck and talents may be better. It's probably me, but also has to do with the local ingredients - garlic, olive oil, salt, tomatoes and ? Had the bifsteak. With all the great reviews, I expected to be blown away. Alas, I was not. The filet was good but rest of the cut was unusually tough. Had to chew and chew and chew before trying to casually spit out the tough grit. Happened for more than 4 bites. Maybe it's because I live in Texas now and have become San Francisco smug about my steaks, but I expected better from this highly rated Restuarant. read more

Excellent food and service at reasonable prices. Great ambiance with friendly staff. If you are In Florence, try this place.

By chance we stumbled upon Del Fagioli and made a reservation. The service was impeccable, they were kind to translate the menu. The food came out quickly and tasted incredible. It was mostly tourists but you could tell word had got around how fantastic this place was. It truly was some of the best Tuscan food I've ever eaten, and I studied in Florence for two months. I got the ossobuco; highly recommend for a melt in your mouth experience. read more

Just eat here. Every day you are in Florence. The service superior. The food the best I have eaten in my life. Just do it.

Rating: 89/100 pts Passing by Ristorante Del Fagioli and seeing the handwritten, Italian-only menu posted at the door was enough to draw me in. They're a family-managed Tuscan restaurant that has been in business for nearly 50 years; refreshingly not catering to tourism, they have a changing menu that incorporates fresh, seasonal ingredients. The meal was incredible, and is on my short list of favorite meals I had during my trip. From what I could read, the menu sounded great. Trying to understand the items unfamiliar to me, our waiter swooped and gladly provides a thorough explanation on how each dish was flavored and prepared, in what was likely the most comprehensive and professional English menu explanation I got during my whole trip. I ended up getting a 6 dish meal that included: - Antipasto - Soprassata, a Tuscan salami, and the local Pecorino cheese--amazing quality stuff, and completely worth the €8. - Pumpkin Tortelli, which was topped with pecorino cheese, pepper, and olive oil, and filled with liberal chunks of pumpkin, further complemented with lemon. The pasta was incredibly fresh, and included 5 large pieces. The flavorings blended together incredibly well, producing one of my favorite pasta dishes I've ever had. I wanted more. - Lombatina di Vitella (veal), which was served with the bone but pre-cut into bite-sized pieces and flavored lightly but effectively. Very tender. As with Florentine Steak, it's served by weight (though it's not nearly as thick). Good, but not quite as essential as the Steak. - Artichoke vegetable side dish. The only time I had artichoke while in Italy. It was delicious, flavored with little more than olive oil and salt. For dessert, they have gelato, freshly baked torte cakes and cookies, or cheese. I went with the Chocolate Ricotta and Pear torte--which, was as phenomenal as it sounds. There was a layer of dark chocolate over a thick base of cheese. I enjoyed every bite, all the while lamenting over there not being enough desserts in the US that use ricotta cheese. The meal ended up being around €35 per person. And, fully satisfied, I was happy to pay it. (Without having gotten the Florentine steak or any wine.) I came in as a party of 2 at 7:30, just as they were opening, and didn't have to wait. Reservations may be needed at a later time. Definitely do not miss the Pumpkin Tortelli if it's in season, which was the most essential dish I had here. read more

We LOVED this dinner in Florence! A couple things first off! Make sure you make a reservation or you probably won't get in. Its cash only! As you walk in it feels like a rustic and authentic Florence establishment. There's an open pass to the kitchen where you can see the chefs preparing food and some of the huge cuts of beef. The menu is completely in Italian, but it wasn't too hard to figure out what most things were. The waiters did a nice job of explaining things for diners and they never came off as annoyed while doing so. I'd definitely recommend doing the steak Florentine, its what they're known for for good reason. Sold by the kg, they bring out the cut before preparing so you can marvel at all the beefy goodness. Definitely big enough to share. We started with the pesto pasta and the sauce was great. Nothing fancy just lots of freshness of herbs and flavorful olive oil. We also enjoyed white beans as a side to our steak, a great pairing. Straight forward, sautéed preparation they tasted buttery and light. This brings us to the star of the show: the steak was beyond. Perfectly cooked mid-rare and seasoned well. Melted in your mouth. A real show-stopper and something special. The waiters were friendly, I don't think they ever stopped moving. But they definitely follow the 'let them eat and not be bothered' culture, so don't feel bad if you need to flag them down for something. We thoroughly enjoyed this dinner! read more

Best Tuscan steak in TOWN!!! Found this when researching best meals in florence and was not disappointed. The space is nice, has an antique feel to it, and has bottles of chianti at every table as their house wine (priced like no wines in the states at a restaurant!). The Tuscan steak is certified with an actual sign on the door, as there are requirements for florentine steak (has to be the right kind of cattle). All in all with a 2kg piece of perfectly cooked steak, appetizers, and plenty of wine for 4, we spent no more than 90 Euros!!! Make sure to check them out! read more

It boggles my mind that this bistro made it into the Rick Steves Italy 2017 guidebook. Rick's recommendations have NEVER failed us in the past, but this place was a food and service disaster, right down to a bland, watered down Chianti house red that harkens back to the days before the DOCG was able to turn off the spigot of swill pouring out of Tuscany. Service was choppy and perfunctory. My pork stew with potatoes was serviceable, if somewhat fatty, and very bland -- no seasoning whatever. Which was better than the bowl of penne bolognese my wife managed, like a champ, to half finish. Anyone with 30 minutes, a stovetop and a box of noodles could beat that dish. And don't get me started on the soup. 50 euros wasted. Too many other options all over Florence to walk in this doorway...someone is loving the Rick Steves recommendation and laughing all the way to the bank. Atrocious. read more

This is my favorite restaurant in Florence. The food is very traditional but it's done SO well: in winter I had the ribollita and I still think about it. In spring, the panzanella was absolutely incredible and so light. Plus their pours for wine are very generous. Do yourself a favor and come here. The Michelin guide doesn't lie in this case! read more

AMAZING! 10/10 highly recommend if you're in Florence looking for a mildly cheap meal that'll make you go mmmmmmm. This was our last, best, and cheapest meal during our 3-day trip in Florence. We didn't make a reservation and got there around 7:45pm, 15mins after they opened. We didn't have to wait at all and was seated almost immediately. Side note: we were traveling during off-season (end of January). Also, this place is cash only! We can't read Italian so it was a little bit of a hassle reading their all-Italian menu. However, we managed through the blessed help of Google Translate. To start off, we got their red house wine and this was probably the best house wine I've ever had. You only pay for what you drink, which we found convenient as a couple of lightweights (we paid 5€ for 1/2L). The server was super friendly/helpful and told us about a Florentine tomato soup (pastina pomodoro), of which we got as our prima patti, alongside the famous trippa (tripe). For our appetizer, we got a platter that consisted of prosciutto, tuscan ham, bruschetta, liver, etc. (the usual meat platter). These three dishes were absolutely DELICIOUS. The thick soup was something I've never tasted before and it just went SO well with my tastebuds. The thickness of it reminded me of Chinese congee, but far tastier. Definitely highly recommend the pastina. The tripe was similar to what we usually eat at Chinese restaurants, except cooked in pure tomato paste, which was different yet surprisingly tasty and unique! For dessert, we tried their pear, chocolate and cheese cake. They have it out in a cupboard near the kitchen, which was where we were seated (it was just SO tempting) and they heat it up for you when you order it. It came to our table hot and we loved it so much, we ordered another piece. But wanting to diversify, we got the pear and apple cake instead, which was just as remarkable. This ristorante had a super homey/cozy vibe, making this experience feel even more authentic and comfortable. This was an unbeatable end to our Florentine trip and could not be happier. read more

This is one of a kind place. Amazing food, fast service and friendly staff. It's a small place so could be little tight at times. We ordered the chicken liver and it was very good. The only down side of this place is that they don't accept card and having located near the tourist destination makes it difficult for lots of people to have cash on hand. We made a special exception to go to a cash only place while traveling. But it was worth it. -1 star for not accepting credit card. read more

I walked into Del Fagioli and was greeted by a Jason Stathom looking fellow. He looked pretty damn mean but was extremely friendly. He sat me down at a table and handed me a menu. Very rarely have I looked at a menu and been unsure what to get, so leaving my meal at the hands of the waiter is something that I rarely do. I asked him to surprise me and asked that I did not get a mainly vegetarian meal! I was started with some cold cuts that were fantastic. They cut apart like something that was slow cooked. The main was this roasted veal in a very nice tomato sauce. It came with a side of potatoes that tasted like they were cooked in basil and chicken stock. MORE OF THIS were the only words that I could think of when I finished the plate. I finished with a slice of cake that was filled with ricotta, topped with apples and pears and then topped with chocolate sauce. This was easily, and I mean easily the best meal I had on my Italy trip. I had a chance to eat at 4 Michelin rated restaurants and this was by far my favourite. I recommend that you make dinner reservations or you won't get in. If you walk in at lunch you have a shot. They are closed on weekends as well! The menu is all Italian so ask for some help if you don't know Italian :) read more

Overall good. Shared the steak Florentine which was good- a bit fatty and not the best quality meat I've seen but decent. Homemade pasta first course was good. Fantastic Chianti wine. Good white beans. Overall I'd recommend the place. It's been in business over 60 years so must be doing something right. Great friendly service read more

Wowza this place is good. It came HIGHLY recommended from a friend who said ate here twice. It was our first night in Florence, and the perfect intro to Italy. Though no other meal lived up following, set the bar REAL high. The menu is all in Italian but the waiters help you navigate the menu. And I looked at pictures on TripAdvisor and showed them what I wanted and they got me that food. Super great. The meatballs and potatoes were PHENOMENAL. Loved both pasta dishes we got, one in bolognese and one in sausage ragu. Both so damn good. And I think I had the best sautéed spinach of my life. Garlicky and tender! I can't say enough about how awesome this place is. Don't miss this when visiting. It's that meal you'll always remember. read more

When 1kg is the smallest chunk of aged meat you can get, you gotta bring your A-game and your wallet. At 45 Euro/Kg, you'd better come hungry. Is Bisteca Fiorentina the greatest piece of dead cow I've had? No - but it is still pretty darned good. And if you ask nicely, they will cut it up and grill some chunks longer for your insane friend who likes meat cooked more than rare or even more than medium rare. read more

Del Fagioli - Bisteca chunks - Italian Near Me - Florence, FI

Found out about this place from our taxi cab driver. Had the following meal for 2 people for about 100 euros total: - Antipasto Tuscan misto: various smoked meats, 2 types of crostini and 1 bruschetta - Tortelli pasta with ricotta and lemon filling - Bisteca alla Florentine: 1.25kg cut - Side salad - 1L house wine - Bottled water: unfortunately no tap offered - Cream cake - 2 cappuccinos It was an amazing meal. Would have been way cheaper if we didn't get the Bisteca at 45 euros/kg, but how could we resist? Service is top notch. The servers speak English and were very patient with our broken italian and explained every item on the menu with great detail. Loved it. Our best meal on our entire vacation. read more

I need one hundred stars to rate this restaurant. BEST meals of our lives. We spend 4 days in Florence and the concierge at our hotel recommended this restaurant since day one. I wish I would have listened since day one because I would have eaten here every day although that would have beaten the purpose of trying different places in Florence. So, we showed up our second night, without reservations, and when we walked in the owner greeted us and gladly sat us down in one of the available tables. Now, the tables here are family style, meaning it is a long table that sits 8-10 people but you don't feel crowded at all. The menus are hand written with the current date so I imagine it changes quite frequently but they keep the popular items like the bistecca florentina among others. We could not understand the handwriting very well so we ask our server, which BTW was the owner of the restaurant and spoke a little bit on english, what he would recommend. He obviously recommended the florentine steak (bistecca), along with a smaller version of the florentine steak, and some kind of pork tenderloin. We decided on the mini florentine steak and the pork tenderloin. More on that later. BTW, because we wanted to try everything, we would always order two different things and share it among the two of us. So, we decide to start with the bruschetta. WOW. Ok, so 4 small pieces of toasted bread, tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, and a little basil. Super simple and I know it's just bruschetta but it was sooooo freaking good. I don't think it lasted more than 1 minute. We knew this was going to be the start of an amazing meal. For our entree along with the meat, the owner recommended the florentine potatoes (I have no idea what they have on it) and marinated artichokes in (some) sauce. Ok the potatoes and the artichokes were to die for. Very creamy and delicious and the perfect compliment to the meat. Ok, so when you order your meat in Florence, don't you dare tell them the cooking term you want. You are going to get rare/med rare (for steaks) and that is it. And believe me, it's going to be the best thing that has ever happened to you. Personally, I had never eaten something less than a medium. But WOW, WOW, WOW. I have never in my life had a meat with so much flavor as these. The florentine steak was rare, maybe medium rare but what amazed me is that 1) it was HOT all the way through and 2) not a single drop of blood came out of that steak. It was out of this world. The pork is cooked medium well and was equally flavorful, delicious and amazing. I don't know many good adjectives but I would use them all for this meal. We paired this wonderful meal with the house red wine. It is actually brought out in a really neat bottle and it was the best wine we had from our whole trip. My BF made an attempt to speak italian to the owner and asked him for his recommendation for dessert. I think he appreciated that. He smiled and said, in italian, "don't worry". He went ahead and prepared a plate with a small piece of all the desserts he had in the display. How awesome is that!!! I'm beating myself because I don't remember what the desserts were and I forgot to take a picture but I can assure you that they were amazing. I do remember, thanks to Coy W. review, that one of them was some type of cheesecake with pears on top. Guess where we had dinner on our third and final night? Yes! Start reading at the beginning again because it went exactly the same. A group of 8 people (some italian, some from switzerland) sat next to us this second time. I know maybe 5 words in italian. My BF knows maybe 20 words in italian. Somehow we were able to hold a conversation with an italian guy from this group about our trip, where we have been, where we were going next and how much we loved Italy and his love for Italy too. That is why I loved the family style table concept in this restaurant. You can strike a conversation with somebody that speaks a completely different language than yours and somehow it works out. Reservations are highly recommended. For our second meal there we asked the hotel concierge to make a reservation for us. Prices are ridiculously low. I think we paid 50 euros for the whole meal. Recap: bruschetta, steak, pork, potato side, artichoke side, sample of 3 desserts, and one bottle of wine. 50 euros!! Can you believe that? Also, they only open Monday through Fridays. Not open on weekends. To quote from the lonely planet website: "You have to respect a restaurant with the courage to close all weekend long". read more

This restaurant was recommended by our local host. She and her husband go there when they go out and we understand why. We had a florentine steak that was 1.7 kg! Even four of us could not finish it. We took it home and had salad the next day. What is amazing is that they cooked that huge steak, 3.75 lbs, to perfection! We had a wonderful selection of appetizers including antipasto, bread salad (you have to try it!) and tomato "soup". Our sides included green beans with tomatoes, white beans and green beans with zucchini. Everything was wonderful. We also split the house red which was very good. We had a wonderful experience and were very lucky because reservations are a must during the busy tourist season. Our waiter explained the entire menu to us and we chose to let him select for us. We would do this again in a heartbeat. Total cost for the evening was €35 each and it was money VERY well spent. read more
