    We had Gucci Osteria pretty high up on our dining list when making our Florence itinerary but after hearing some mixed reviews we opted to go for lunch instead of dinner. As expected, the interiors are pretty fabulous and the service and food ended up being great as well. We opted to order off the a la carte menu in lieu of doing the tasting menu which felt like it would be too heavy for lunch. Favorites were the pistachio spaghetti and the Journey to Modern tortellini which was absolutely incredible. Highly recommend and would also add that you should leave time to do some shopping and see the gucci museum upstairs!

    Amazing details. Edible flowers and lovely tastes

    They say you'll always remember your first Michelin experience -- and I absolutely will. Stepping off the bustling Piazza Signoria and into Osteria Gucci felt like entering another world. The service was flawless from the very first moment -- warm, welcoming, and effortlessly refined. They seated me at the best table in the house without knowing it was my birthday, and the entire experience felt like it was crafted just for me. The chef, Massimo Bottara, holds 3 Michelin stars, and every detail showed it -- from the artistry of each dish to the perfect balance of flavors. I thanked them for an exceptional birthday experience as I left and the host scrambled to the back to bring me a gift - completely unnecessary, but very charming as the whole experience. It was more than just a meal; it was a memory I'll treasure forever. If you're ever in Florence and want to experience true culinary excellence, this is the place.

    I thought the Gucci portion was a gimmick but was pleasantly surprised to be wrong. Food quality and service was excellent. The starters that were included were small and tasty with the watermelon ice, bread sticks, and espresso imitation soup. We got 2 courses and thought it would be light, but it is insanely filling! The spaghetti and tortellini combined was already way too much food. Both were excellent texture and taste. The beef with caviar seemed small but was very filling. The fish with chips on top was very large in size. There is no way we could have finished 3 each! The bread they bring out was piping hot. Just perfect with olive oil. All in all, great service and food.

    Amazing dining experience from the atmosphere, the service (I believe we had 6 or 8 servers), the fun play on norms with the courses. The atmosphere is very beautiful, like an elegant parlor. A place where you can sit and enjoy but the food is the star. Staff was well trained and well versed in the menu items as well as the whimsy that comes across in the food. The food was amazing. From welcome course to final final course. A delicious experience. For example, in the second desert course, the meringues all taste different and have different consistencies and the pool of raspberry and cassis is just amazing with the chestnut and toasted meringue. An out of this world experience.

    Tostada, made vegetarian. Flavorful

    This place has the ambience and while you're going for the Michelin rated food, the ambience is slightly superior than the food. The design of the plates and interior of the restaurant are something to appreciated. The food was flavorful, service was excellent and I appreciated the diversity of the dining clientele. Very young to older couples, there was a couple that brought in a well behaved dog (!), and they also had a high chair setup for a young child. If I was to recommend a Michelin and Florence inspired dining experience, this would be it.

    Customer service here is phenomenal! And yes, if you're expecting to have an exceptional dining experience in a Gucci way. You do! As much as I tried to remember everything I ate - I really couldn't. I'll admit some things I loved more than others. That being said - I'd recommend going. I took plenty of pictures so I hope that helps. Please make a point of using their fabulous bathroom. It's beautiful.

    Expresso with chocolate.

    We walled in and the staff was attentive but formal. We sat With a view of Palazzo Vecchio and the Gucci Gardens. We had the expresso, cappuccino and a glass of Champagne. The coffees were nice with a touch of chocolate. The Champagne arrived with a series of salty food items to enhance the drink. The waiter was super formal, super young and super nervous. He could not figure out how to balance his serving tray and serve the drinks. It all worked out but added to a fun experience.

    With a fantastic location (even better: mostly in the shade) on the Piazza della Signoria, and a classic interior, next to the Gucci museum, what could go wrong? Very little. The plates were excellent. The lobster and begonia leaf taco, the eel and pumpkin ravioli, the Chianina (beef) with caviar, and the cleverly executed cod covered in fried cod scales (unfortunately, not as visually exciting as it could be). Oh, and the (50/50) butter/olive oil to make the three different kinds of bread "healthier." Or tastier. One of those. And the servers were more than hospitable to the tourists. Maybe a little too hospitable. I was a bit disappointed when a second couple with a baby carriage entered, but luckily they were too late for lunch service. Hopefully, the first baby in the restaurant was using the only high chair. But I doubt it. I understand restaurants need to make money, but please let everyone know, before they make a reservation, that "screaming infants, who cannot possibly appreciate our chef's efforts, are more than welcome to disrupt the meals of any or all of our other paying guests." I'll probably return, but I'll definitely ask for the non-infant seating area. 2023 09 06. M1.

    The only bad I can think of: the WiFi is horrible. I loved the interior of the restaurant. It was soothing and complimented the city around it. The food was excellent. I enjoyed 2 of the 3 appetizers, I just couldn't get myself to enjoy the bao. For mains we ordered the spaghetti and cod. Both of them where very tasty. The service. Wow! Excellent service. I truly have never experienced 1 star Michelin service like this before. Yes it pretty pricey and I might do it again.

    Really nice experience. I made reservation two months before our scheduled trip and was looking forward to dining here. The whole experience was awesome, the interiors of the restaurant, the table setting, the food and the staff. We chose the tasting menu and got to try a few items. So many flavors and textures in every plate. Our waiter was super friendly and helpful. He even gave us free museum tickets to the Gucci museum next door which I actually visited the next day. Just lovely .. So if you are ever in Florence go ahead and make time for this place. Enjoy life every day every minute.

    Impecable!!! Service was 5 stars. Extremely attentive wait staff and know how to treat all their clientele like VIP's. The food...*chefs kiss*. Beyond like anything I've ever had. This place is an experience filled with surprises! Totally recommend to dine here when in Firenze.

    The stones on the wall were actually apart of the outside of the building and the build around it!

    My husbands favorite meal during our entire Italy adventure. And probably mine as well. After an amazing experience at Gucci Gardens we ended it with dinner here. We were the first reservation so we got to be the first in the restaurant and that was really nice because we got to see it before it was filled. The ambience was beautiful and our host was kind enough to explain how the restaurant came to be and how the building was incorporated into the design. The staff was extremely attentive and patient with us answering all our questions and very aware that I didn't eat pork so they made sure to check in with me about every dish. The meal was prie fixed and the group had to order the same menu because its all timed a certain way. Luckily they let us add in one dish from the other menu that I really wanted to try. So you can get the best of both worlds! My husband got a wine pairing with his meal and I sipped on kir royals throughout. Overall, the meal was truly amazing, it was the first meal that really had some delicious unexpected twists. The chef did a wonderful job of incorporating her flavors from separate cultures into dishes. The chef is Mexican and she combined that with Japanese flavors. My favorite dish was the one we ended up adding in from the menu we did not choose. It was lung but honestly if I wasn't told that I wouldn't have guessed. They even brought out a little extra dessert for my husbands bday. And their homemade marshmallow with a hidden expression ball inside was the perfect way to end the night.

    Looking for a place to eat, found this gem and realized I wanted to try it. Everyone had told us…read moredinner reservations were a MUST here, but didn't think about it. Not many places actually have yelp reviews, but this one had so many with great feedback. The food looked amazing. When we arrived we thought they were closed, but that is because they moved to a bigger restaurant a few doors down. When we arrived at the front, the gentleman asked if we had reservations, which we didn't. He directed us to the line with no reservations. The line was a bit long, but doubled in size almost immediately. It also started pouring rain during this time and we were ALL getting drenched even with an umbrella. The non reservation line was not really moving unless people left the line. We waited a good hour. As we inched closer and closer, the lines were now both outrageous and getting seated seemed like a distant memory. The staff came out and gave out Sangria and Bread bites to help those in line feel welcome. We did finally get seated and we were so glad we waited, it was worth it! We ordered the Spaghetti Carbonara, the lobster spaghettini and the chicken breast with roasted potatoes. We also ordered sangria. Everything was so good and our total was 83 €. Prices were unbelievable! We were amazed at the quality, the service and how large the restaurant they relocated to was. It was like a well oiled machine. The food coming out quickly and efficiently. I will 100% be back if I return to Florence!

Definitely can tell the old building and maybe they had expanded over the years. The service was amazing and the food delicious. This is one of the places that friends recommended and it's also on the list of many influencers. Tourist trappy, maybe. But the food was totally worth it. We were in the area around 4:30PM and decided to stop in, totally not expecting much as we didn't make a reservation but figured if they're open and not busy, why not give them a try. The most memorable dish we had was the appetizer we order - fried polenta with mushrooms and chicken liver pate, the polenta fried crispy, the mushrooms creamy and the chicken liver pate so smooth and savory. We also ordered 2 pasta dishes - wild boar sauce pappardelle and spaghetti alla carbonara. So tasty and with depth of flavors. Paired well with the house white wine we ordered as well. Definitely a spot you don't want to miss when in Florence.

Bone in, medium rare, sprinkled with sea salt and a side of onion marmalade. The steak was very good and had way less fat than I expected. The waiter suggested a huge steak for the table, but I was the only one ordering steak that night. Maybe next time.

What a fun place to be! The food was absolutely amazing. When we saw them slicing the salami right in front of us, we decided to order the salami plate and we were so glad we did! The zucchini flower and saffron pasta was bursting with flavor and the pasta was so perfectly cooked. I couldn't get enough! The duck ragu pasta was also hearty, rich, and delicious. The sauce was so good, my family soaked up every last bit with our bread. The ricotta spinach ravioli was also amazing!! Again the sauce was such a standout. The ravioli was so fresh with the perfect amount of bite. The green pepper sauce steak was soooo good. Cooked perfectly, with such a unique sauce that the whole peppercorns added perfectly to in texture and spice. Finally, the raspberry tiramisu. We were so full, but when they set these down our dessert stomachs were ready. They were amazing! Not the strongest raspberry flavor, but still such a delicious end to the meal. Side note, you MUST have a reservation to eat here, and they only take reservations by call. Because I didn't have a way to call them, I asked my Airbnb hosts who did it for me (also amazing people). While we were eating, there was a crowd forming outside of people waiting to get in but unable to. It's so worth it to visit Vini e Vecchi Sappori!

We had our hotel call for us when we checked in and were lucky to grab a 1:30 lunch slot on a Thursday afternoon. We saw the fat physical reservation book when we went, and also saw an attempted walk-in get turned away. We wanted to go for dinner, but I'm just glad we were able to get in at all. Vini e Vecchi Sapori was easily my favorite restaurant in Florence. I loved the cozy, vibrant dining room, snug and eclectically decorated. We were at a table so tiny, I worried about pulling a muscle when I crossed my legs. It was nestled amongst other tiny tables, and abutted a counter where plates were put out for service and the reservation book set down in its glory next to my husband's head. Service was warm, efficient, and attentive. Our waiter basically told what to order and we obeyed him, with excellent results. The one-page handwritten menu, helpfully available in English, presented the day's offerings and this preemptive list of disclaimers: No Pizza No Cappuccino No The Fork No Ice No Spritz No Ketchup FUCK CANCER There was a brief selection of Italian wines by the glass, and we got the Chianti Classico and the Bruno de Montalcino, both lovely. The food was delicious, starting with good bread and good olive oil. We ordered the mixed Tuscany salami and the beef carpaccio as appetizers, and they were both superb and not in the least bit redundant. There were four or five types of salami, every one of them fantastic, and I loved the thin, silky carpaccio, served with rucola, parmesan, olive oil, and black pepper. We shared two splendid pastas, spinach ricotta ravioli in a creamy rose tomato sauce and a hearty pappardelle with duck ragu. For dessert, we had the lush, irresistible raspberries tiramisu. I plan to come back to Florence one day, and will make a point of coming back to Vini e Vecchi Sapori. It's a special restaurant, the kind you hope to find in Italy, a welcoming place with lively ambiance and wonderful food.

I shared two pasta dishes with my daughter (the handmade Pappardelle with Maremman Wild Boar Ragu and the Carbonara). Both were very good but not the best we've had. Appetizers were good: Salad with pecorino cheese, oranges, pine nuts and walnuts. We ordered the Octopus appetizer as well. The Octopus was beautifully prepared and presented, but didn't have much flavor. They nailed the Espresso Martini! One of the best I've ever had! We ordered the huge Florentine steak to share between 4 of us and it was more than enough. Ultimately what knocked this review down to 3 stars and what was really disappointing was how they targeted us as tourists with the note at the bottom of the bill (see picture). It read "GRATUITY NOT INCLUDED" in all CAPITAL LETTERS. Also note it was the only thing in English on the entire bill. If it had been our first meal in Florence we might have fallen for this tactic, however it was our last. There's definitely some hostility towards tourists in Florence. Don't get me wrong, some of the people and restaurants we've visited have been very welcoming and friendly. However we recently saw tourist taxes go up significantly, and then you see tricks like this on the bill at La Giostra. This was the ONLY restaurant in Florence where we encountered this. Once jet fuel prices make flying a relic of the past I would argue that some Europeans who depend on tourists for their livelihood may not miss our presence but will certainly miss our spending. Save your money and go research the many other places to eat while in Florence.
