Great food, pasta spaghetti with meat source was so good our kids finished their plates for the first time. The Pappardelle with wild boar was not good at all and we didn't eat it. the rest of our food was amazing. read more

I eat lunch here almost everyday and I have never had a bad sandwich. The cute man who works there always does a great job and is always friendly! Best place to get a quick sandwich and go eat it on the steps of Santo Spirito in the sun! Always add truffle cream read more

Ate here last night after mistakenly coming to this place hoping for it to be gusto pizza. Gusto pizza is closed for the next few weeks so we stayed. My husband ordered the Florentine steak and it was delicious despite them over cooking it (we asked for medium rare and we got well done) he also had a side of rosemary potatoes which were fantastic. I had the pasta with Ragu and it was mostly bland and flavorless. We started with an artichoke crostini and a lardo crustini which were delicious . They boast the inside is air conditioned but we were sitting and sweating. It was good but nothing to write home about . read more

We just wander around Piazza Santo Spirito farmers market and saw the restaurant. The menu looked good and the clientel looked local so we decided to try. Good decision. We got the house appetizer of cheese titbits and cold cuts. Yummy with the house white wine and Frost beer. Then we had rissotto with tribe and radicio. My hubby was not sure about tripe but was game. We both liked the dish very much. For the secondi, my husband had the famous (Giant) meat ball in thick osobucco like ragu. We oggled at the size of the meat ball at first. In no time it was gobbled all down. He loved every bit of it. I had grilled pork with spinach. The pork was grilled to perfection. Crisp outside, juicy inside. They didn't skimp on the veggy. Must have used a pound for spinash for my dish! Very delicious meal with cozy, friendly neighborhood vibe. read more

Just fantastic. From the fabulous, fresh, delicious meal to Maurizio's hospitality and conversation. A true stand out. We definitely recommend and will be back before we leave to try his pizza place as well. Thank you kindly. read more

We really loved this restaurant and after trying so many different places during our stay this place stood out by far! We actually loved so much we went several times during our stay! The staff was friendly, polite and made the experience fun! I would highly recommend the lasagna and the chocolate cake for dessert! The red house wine was delicious and one of my favorites! If you're looking for amazing food, great atmosphere and friendly service, you can't go wrong here! Thanks for an amazing experience! Your friends from Redondo Beach, California read more

The place is small but have outdoor chair, the salad 7€ was less than average, the wine selection is limited but good, bit pricy6€. The service was good. For the food, the duck sauce pasta 10€, was very interesting but heavy , good portion. The streak was excellent 18€. read more

Gustapanino was a favorite during my study abroad days in Florence so I had to come back on my recent visit. To put it simply: quality ingredients, reasonable prices and good portions. We kept trying to find something similar on the rest of our trip and were always disappointed. There is nothing like picnicking with a fresh panino and a Coke in Piazza S. Spirito. Also check out the farmers market in the square. Visited September 2011 read more

The owners of gusta osteria, gusta pizza, and gusta panini are gods. This group of restaurants, all located on the same street, are the best in class. You might as well just eat at these 3 restaurants while in Firenze. Great service, value, and food quality. You don't come across gems very often - gusta osteria and their sister restaurants were just that. Enjoy! read more

Salads were good and a nice change from all the pasta lunches to date. Nice outdoor patio facing the Santo Spirito church.

Similar to just about any other sandwich shop, except less crowded and better prices :) The sandwiches and drink selection were awesome and delicious! Studying here in Florence, this shop is definitely on my top list. read more

This quaint little sandwich shop was just down the street from my school in Florence... and I will admit ALL of us students were obsessed! In fact you would probably see quite a few pictures of us on the walls. Almost every day I would grab lunch here. Turkey, Pesto, Tomato on a Wheat bun. I can't tell you how amazing and fresh it is! Also the staff is sooo friendly and hilarious! Grab a sandwich and sit on the steps of the church across the piazza!- I promise you will enjoy!! read more

This place was awesome. It is right down the street from our hotel and a great find. If you happen to go there, definitely or the house antipasti. It was a great combination of prosciutto cheese, and quiche. Also, try the house wine. We really enjoyed it. We ordered a half carafe and it was about five glasses... For six euros. A great deal.The staff was also incredibly friendly. And like many places in Florence, everyone spoke English which was very helpful for us. The menu is in English as well... Although I'm not sure that there is a bad thing on it. Everything we tried was great.I'm not really sure if this happens every time, but we were offered a lemoncello on the house after we paid. And it was delicious. read more

We were highly recommended Gusta and it did not disappoint. The place is intimate romantic sometimes loud and boisterous They must have good intuition because we gave them our order and the pizza was ready moments later The crust was crispy the cheese was perfect and the arugula fresh and peppery Just fantastic Gusto provided a prelude to one of the most beautiful moments Sunset on the Arno Molto buono read more

I am rating this two stars as the waiter was very kind and the atmosphere was charming. I would not recommend this restaurant as the food was serviceable at best and could be easily made in my hotel kitchen. Avoid the gnocchi at all cost as it was inedible and disgusting. Only come here if it is a last resort and you want not terribly expensive, (we spent €75 with four people) below average food. read more

Great place at the start of the very nice Piazza Santo Spirito. There are many nice places on this Piazza - last time we arrange to meet there 6 people. My 3 friends where there first getting warmed up with nice cocktail and beer. When the last 3 of us came, the waiters where great getting us served quickly with everything. They had good suggestions for us, so we tried something new - 3 small starters, 3 different pasta and more next, ending with great meat! Tiramisu & coffee enjoyed after! read more

Located on a quiet street, the restaurant is very cozy on the inside and also has outdoor seating. Was slightly confused if it was connected to Gusta Pizza? I heard the people dinning next to me order a pizza from there. The menu is mostly pasta choices. I got the homemade lasagna with Bolognese sauce which was pretty good but nothing memorable. read more

Gustapanino was great! There were plenty of options and the food was fresh! Great service, especially the owner who was extremely busy one night but made sure to accommodate me and two of my friends. He sat us right down, as well as giving us free bread and a drink. It's awesome since you can either sit down or take the food to go, so I definitely recommend this place! read more

Was trying to go to gusta pizza but they were closed for August, this place was the next closest and it brought out all the goods! The Ragu pasta was one of my fav dishes on my florence trip! read more

I just love this place. When I studied abroad in Florence 11 years ago it was called gusto panino, now it's gusto osteria. But regardless of the name it's still wonderful. The people are friendly, the food reliable and the calm atmosphere outside of tourist central is necessary. In fact when I asked the waitress if I could buy a carafe as a momento when I was here, to remind me of my time here over a decade ago, she and the owner gave it to me as a gift. It's just a lovely spot to relax. And their antipasto plates (and crostini con artichokes) are delicious. read more

We stumbled upon this restaurant while walking through the neighbourhood earlier today. It has really small menu which tells me that they tend to rely on in season local food. That is a nice point. We had the Greek salad some other people in our party had pasta and the cheese centerplate. Everything was really nice and fresh. Sasasas were tasty the cheese plate was served with some bread assortment of cheeses and honey. It was a wonderful eating experience. Pasta was obviously homemade it was Fresh and the sauces were outstanding. very sweet service very attentive and efficiencies even though place was busy for lunch. We ended wines with her couple of expresses that were very nice and they even compt that expressos. In summary this is a small local owned restaurant with fresh sauces pasta Anand the very nice cheese plate I highly recommend it for the wonderful Italian food and experience read more

One of the best panini in Firenze. Great and fresh ingredients and fair price!

Located in the wonderful Piazza Santo Spirito, this little jewel of a restaurant delivered wonderful food (gnocchi with truffles, eggplant parmigiana, and linguini with spicy marinara), wine and environment. The staff is terrific and the Owner made us feel like family. They also serve sandwiches for lunch or late night. The Piazza is filled with local residents enjoying their time together. The prices are also incredibly reasonable. read more

Really enjoyed the restaurant, cute feel and good service. One of our favourite dishes we tried in Italy was the wild boar ragu pasta dish! We also loved the vegetable pie entree and pork shank for main! Highly recommend! read more
