We happened to stumble upon this place and the guy in the window cranking out the fresh cappeliacci caught our eye w/that big cheese wheel! It was a busy Sunday night and got a buzzer, waited about 20 minutes. Our server girl was nice. But the food took a long time to come out. We ordered a steak and the cappeliacci but only the steak came out. Seemed the kitchen forgot about our pasta dish. our server was apologetic. Something was going on in the kitchen b/c they didn't bring out the pasta dishes for the table next to us either and they waited much longer than we did and were there before us. Also, one of the server's buddies happened to sit at the table next to us and and the server hardly left their side and just stood there chit chatting in their language. I was like jeeeez! it was quite annoying b/c they were also very loud about it. It was so annoying and distracting that I asked our server if we could move to a different table. They didn't ask why but they were accommodating and moved us. SO much better! The service wasn't that great but the server was friendly.
A couple nights later, we got back to Florence about 10pm from an all day tour we had done. We knew lots of places were already closed or about to close but had passed by Nuti and saw it was still opened..maybe 45-ish minutes till closing. We were running out of otpions so we were like let's just go back to Nuti, see if they'll take us b/c we're probably not going to find anything else opened rn and we're hungry.
I'm glad we came b/c it totally made up for the first visit!
there was no wait! We were seated right away in the front area but restaurant still seemed to be busy and our server Lejandro from Brazil was SO wonderful!! He was so kind and friendly and welcomed us with a huge smile. He promptly brought us bread, something that took a while to get on our first visit. And Lejandro also poured us olive oil and balsamic vinegar into a little dish for our bread. We weren't given that on our first visit. nor were we offered oil or vinegar on the table. He always had a smile with us, so refreshing!
His service throughout the dinner was awesome and always checked on us to see how we were doing. So friendly! At the end, he also brought us a complimentary glass of sparkling sweet wine. He was so nice. I hope if you dine here, you get Lejandro as your server. We had a fantastic meal! read more
