During the course of my two months abroad, this was the best food and restaurant experience my friends and I had (keep in mind we were on a college student budget). The quality and speed of service was fantastic compared to most places we tried in Italy. We arrived on a weekday a few minutes after opening and were seated immediately. Complimentary wine and a cheese, tomato, and bread appetizer were brought out immediately after ordering. We ended up getting two pasta dishes, two pizzas, two cappuccinos, and a bottle of wine, which came to about €55. The food was generously portioned and the best Italian food we had in Rome, Firenze, and Pisa. To top it off, a complimentary small glass of limonchello is provided as a digestive aid at the end of your meal! Make a reservation if you want to come later on in the evening as it filled up very quickly. Also, not many of the staff members spoke English; though, they were quick to direct me to someone who did. I would strongly recommend this restaurant to anyone who finds themselves in Firenze! read more

Amazing food. Nice touch by offering a free taster app and a sparkling wine. Food takes a little while but it's busy for a reason. Nice place to stop in for. Good dinner. read more

A great find! Classic neapolitan pizza, but also excellent pasta and a delicious vegetable appetizer composition (see photos). The place is nicely designed, modern but cozy, the staff is most attentive and accommodating, the aperol spritzes were excellent. 5 stars with confidence! read more

I'm very surprise this place only has 48 reviews. Fuoco Matto was one of the better restaurant experiences we enjoyed while visiting Italy. The staff was not rude but was not overly friendly either. I will say the prosciutto served here was the best I've ever tasted. Therefore the waiter could have thrown a drink in my face and I wouldn't have minded......as long as he fed me more prosciutto. I ordered a pizza and enjoyed every bite and my husband ordered a pasta dish and loved it as well. Too full for dessert. read more

I checked Yelp for a place with pizza near our hotel in Florence and this place had the most stars. The restaurant provides complementary sparkling wine at the start and limoncello at the end of the meal. Each of us had a sumptuous meal for $15.00 with a delicious red wine and water. Our waiter spoke Italian, English and Spanish and was so personable. I'm so glad we found Fuoco Matto!! read more

Fuoco Matto - The best pizza I have ever eaten. - Italian Near Me - Florence, FI

One of the best pizzas I've ever had. The pasta was also delicious m. Nothing negative to say. This was one of my favorite meals during my trip to Italy. Highly recommend. read more

I don't review places unless they're very good or very shitty. Recommended by my friend of high regards, I had to check it out. Fuoco Matto is very good. Friendly and accommodating staff with amazing food. The manager and waiter were constantly around to make sure we had everything (wine refills and to check in on us, which at most places is a rarity around here.) We sat down and they brought us a little piece of their pizza ( just some tomato basil and mozzarella cheese ) and a taste of the sparkling house wine which my girlfriend ended up getting. We split some homemade maccarone with tomato sauce and fresh cheese which they were able to give us each half a portion. We ordered the Florentine steak which was cooked medium. The meat melts in your mouth. One of the best steaks I've had. Quality was superb. To finish up they brought us each a shot of limoncello on the house. For a place that supposedly specializes in pizza, they are all around phenomenal. read more

Great pizza, very favorable sauce. Service was super friendly and they served my fav red ale Ross's. Inexpensive and cute restaurant ny hotel. read more

A must stop place while you're in Florence. The staff is so nice and made me feel at home as I dined alone. The wine - especially the moscato was amazing and they allowed me to taste it before giving me my glass. The pizza - THE PIZZA WAS AMAZING. read more

This place is delicious!! As a vegetarian I love that they have a nightly vegetarian option, as well as a potential 2nd veggie option in their risotto of the day. Our party made a reservation for the same night and quickly got seated. They hooked it up with a sample of their house sparkling wine and an appetizer. The meal was bomb.com. I ordered their creamed carrot rissoto and my sis did a baked vegetarian casserole. My hubby got their Margarita Pizza and man that was delicious! We also got a small sample of limoncello on the house and man it was sour but good. We would definitely recommend it for anyone traveling from the state's since they speak English fluently. read more

Super busy even if you make reservations. Tasty pizza, service is the only thing that's lacking.

Great place. Steps from our hotel and we were happy to find it. Modern, lively decor. Nice menu. Most staff fluent in English. Menus available in English and Italian. Definitely will return! read more

I'm sorry but this place was AWFUL! I came for the great yelp reviews but seriously am so confused by them. The caprese salad was not fresh and the pizza was SO soggy. It felt like such a tourist trap! It was a really disappointing first meal in Florence - such a waste! read more

Don't believe the hype. This is not a Yelp 4.5 star level of place. Food was ok. Service was ok. Prices were average. It was conveniently open on a Sunday night. With so many good restaurants in Florence, it's hard to want to come back to this one. read more

Overrated. Nothing Instagram home about. Pasta served on the verge of cold and pizza was uninspired.

The service was excellent all the way around and the food was even better. The pizza was perfectly cooked but the red sauce really shined through as one of the best I've ever had. Also, the spiraled pasta cooked al dente with a white ragu beef sauce was great as well. read more

Service was great, the food was amazing! Our first time in Florance and we ejoyed it. read more

By far the best pizza I've had in Italy. Got take away one night and was surprised to find a fully packed restaurant at 9:30 on a Wednesday. Full of locals and tourists. Got the margarita DOC pizza, honestly the most simple and delicious pizza I've ever had. While waiting they served me a small glass of wine and little sandwich- smoked cheese and spinach- delicious! Highly recommend this place for pizza. Also saw the prosciutto plates and they looked fantastic. read more

We sat at the bar counter and enjoyed watching the pizzaiolo's make pizza all night! Food was absolutely delicious, large portions, and staff was very friendly! Easily one of my favorite restaurants in the world now. read more

We had a fabulous lunch in Florence at Fuoco Matto. Our pizzas, namely the Margerita DOP and Positano Revisited were very good however the real winner here was their hospitality. Super friendly staff here who even treated us to some complementary Limoncello at the end of our meal. Grazie Mille from the bottom of our hearts. read more

Was in Florence for one night during a recent trip to Italy. Had plenty of restaurant suggestions from friends and family that had visited before, but it was late in the trip and we didn't feel like venturing too far from the hotel. It turns out that this culinary gem was right next door the hotel we were staying at and it did not disappoint. We walked over around 8 PM on a Thursday night and they asked if we had reservations. We didn't but they were able to accommodate us. By the time we left at 10ish, the place was packed FYI, so I'd make reservations if you're a larger group. As many of the other reviewers have mentioned, this place gives each table several "freebies." We ordered the bone-in Florentine steak and a mixed salad to share, as well as glasses of Rosso de Montalcino and Chianti. Before our drinks arrived, the waiter brought over small glasses of complimentary prosecco and a delicious flatbread (think a full sized pizza without the sauce or cheese, but well seasoned). The salad greens were fresh and delicious and the steak was one of the best I've ever eaten. I ordered the steak medium and it was pretty red in the middle, so I'd order it more cooked than you typically like your meat if you aren't sure. After dinner they brought us complimentary limoncello, which was a great way to cap off a phenomenal dining experience. read more

Being that it is ranked as the number one in restaurants and pizza on tripadvisor , though skeptical... I decided to give it a try...called for reservation, once there, the lady up front was running crazy both ringing ppl out and dealing with the line of ppl outside... got seated and we're greeted with some prosseco and sliced calzones promptly... YAM, ordered some local "schpritz "(campari, Ginger and touch of sparkling water) the buratta pizza(house tomatoe sauce, fresh buratta cheese, aragula and cherry tomatoes), than.....a 1.3kg(nearly 3lbs) of a fresh local farm raised and in house cut of "bisteca alla Florentina" that came with some house potatoes and white beans..... OH BOY...the freshness and taste of both the pizza and especially the meat was awesome! Than we shared a home made tiramisu (best I had so far outside of my wife's kitchen.. ) and some limoncello to try and help all that food go down....great food, great service!! Perfect evening.... luckily, we we're able to bounce back to our hotel safely.... read more

Suggested by our hotel. Thank goodness for Trip Advisor because Italy doesn't seem to be too keen on Yelp. Easily one of the best meals we have in the whole of Italy. read more

Best pizza in Florence! The dough was cooked to perfection: just the right amount of doughiness and airy crust. Definitely try the burrata pizza! read more

The matto pizza and Tuscan ham with pecorino cheese were delicious. Although this is not Napoli, this was still quite tasty. The staff accidentally gave us our food in the wrong order, but they were very friendly and gave us limoncello at the end of our meal. read more

The casual atmosphere and warm welcome from the staff made the experience even more delightful. The menu is small, but has options. Carmelo helped us pair a nice wine with our Florentine steak and gave us advice about starters (excellent Parma) and pasta (skip it to focus on the beef!). Fortunately they pack up extra food so we were able to save room for cheesecake and cannoli. The pizza and pasta looked amazing so we are trying to go back for another meal. read more

Oh my god im salivating thinking about the fresh margharita pizza and hearty florentine steak we had on our weekend trip. Such great house wine as well and a great pit stop between visiting the leather market and seeing the one and only david at accademia (buy tickets earlier in the day) Service was traditional italian as in it takes 2 hours to get the check but hey nothing wrong with eating forever and conversating with great friends! The complimentary apps were so good and pizza the best i had at a sit down restaurant in italy. Recommend 10/10 read more

Staff was very nice and helpful with selection of food. The food was good as this is a family friendly restaurant the pizza was pretty good although my fathers food was priced at 15 dollars for 4 raviolis but they were good. I had the tiramisu for desert and it was pretty good one of the best read more

had a fantastic dinner! I think I will be dreaming about the steak tartare!! The service was great and very friendly!

Ate here by chance after a late check in to our hotel because it was close by and recommended by the staff! Such a fortunate find! Fun atmosphere and excellent food! The menu is fresh and full of inventive combinations. Worth a stop if you're in Florence! read more

Went here on our first night in Florence and it was so memorable!!! We didn't have a reservation but they sat us within a few minutes. They give you a complimentary sparkling wine and small appetizer to begin, which was so appreciated. They also give you an assortment of bread, and the focaccia was to die for. I got the margherita pizza and it was simple, classic, and delicious. Highly highly recommend!!! We also got another pizza that the waiter said would be very spicy, but it wasn't, and it wasn't as good as the margherita pizza. They served us complimentary tiramisu and some type of cinnamon drink. We loved it here!!!! read more

This cute restaurant was a few minutes away from our hotel in Florence and the four of us were seated almost immediately when we arrived at 8pm even though we did not have a reservation. No cover charge, no service charge. They served us complimentary white wine and an appetizer as soon as we were seated. We ordered the margherita pizza which was prepared perfectly. The risotto was okay, but all the portion sizes were generous and filling for 4 people. The meal ended with complimentary limoncello. Overall, we had a great time here! read more

Excellent service and food. I ordered the ragu pasta and it was incredible. I know they are known for their pizza, but I wanted something different. The service was spot on and the vibe was fun. Highly recommend! read more

Delicioso. First meal in Florence and it did not disappoint. Amazing ravioli to start, filled with burata, then two great pizzas. Staff kept coming with free extras like limoncello and white wine and little bites. Book ahead - was ok at 7 to 8pm but rammed by the time we left at 9. read more

Really great restaurant, the host and the owner (I think) were very nice to us, even though the place was so busy (Saturday and Sunday night). We were staying at the hotel right above it and it was great to come downstairs and get in there quick! Reservations are necessary unless you want to wait a long time! They'll serve you prosecco and a little pizza sandwich with cheese and tomatoes as soon as you are seated, and at the end of the meal you'll get a shot of limoncello (all this for free). We had pizzas on the first night: margherita dop was simple but absolutely delicious (I'm Italian and it was a really great pizza). Second night we tried pasta and that was super yummy. The prices are all reasonable, if you have some money to spend you can try the famous Florentine steak (1 kg!!) for aro una 55€. The service is included (for dinner it was 4€). Definitely recommend, it's also a relatively new place and it has a modern/cozy design. read more

amazing pizza but not the best service, this restaurant is very busy so prepare to be waiting but it was great food!

We went on the recommendation of the hotel for a great pizza. We ordered the rizzoto and the pizza giornale which was tomato paste burratta and calabria paste (spicy sausage). It was amazing!. The rizotto was perfectly cooked and creamy and the pizza was unlike I've ever had. The service was very friendly, the place was packed and full of energy. We will definitely be back! read more

AMAZING FOOD. This place was extremely impressive! This place looks pretty new, the atmosphere and vibe is pretty modern. The service is amazing & QUICK. Which is what I love. We had the Ragu Pasta, the Burrata Pizza & Pistachio Cannoli. Best pizza/pasta we've had in Italy thus far. Really really impressed & will definitely be back! :) read more
