Went here for an aperitivo and ended up enjoying four nice cocktails and the antipasto option from…read morethe aperitivo option. If I get this right, they offer a different "theme" of dishes on different days of the week (closed on Tuesday), from pasta to fish to a foreign country theme (in my case it was the latter, the country being Morocco). So you order an aperitivo and dishes from the special menu. Each dish is only €3 (!!) but then they seem to add a surcharge of €3 per drink during aperitivo hour. Slightly strange concept and very penalising for a committing alcoholic like myself ;-) The Moroccan aperitivo menu consisted of an antipasto option (mixed starter), a primo (cous cous) and a secondo (some meat dish). I had a big lunch so only had the starter (see picture - quite tasty) and took the remaining calorie balance in liquid form. Speaking of which - the cocktail menu offers some interesting options (not all of the classics are listed, but these guys seem to know their stuff, just ask for what you want) and compared to the Rivalta Caffé, the drinks are balanced less sweet here. They have an interesting selection of vermouth, with some labels that are hard to come by outside of Italy. They also understand their bitters, with the likes of Bittermen's, Fee Brothers, Bitter Truth, Booker's and others present. There is also a comprehensive wine list and a menu with some other food options. I will certainly be back!

To begin with our waiter, Dario, was amazing. He was so passionate about our order. I went to…read morechange my order from the pasta with boar sauce to lasagna and he told me it was a traditional Florence meal and we should try it. He was not wrong at all. Previous reviews stated it was gamey... as a girl from Chicago it was not gamey at all. To begin with we had the crostinis and I personally loved the sausage the most and I do not like sausage in the US. We ended the meal with the fried balls of some sort. It was the potatoes for me. Find a way to order just the potatoes. Also the wine for a liter was very reasonably priced (13 euros) amazing. We've now went to Venice and Florence and compared to our touristy ultra expensive places this one is hands down the best.

When looking up a good place for some steak, this came up as a suggestion. This probably ended up being one of my favourite restaurants I had been to during my time in Florence. The food was so beyond amazing, packed with flavour and you can just tell how much love they put into their cooking. I definitely recommend you try the Ravioli and their Steaks because it was beyond what I had expected!

It didn't start getting super busy until ~9pm - which is the usual Italian dining hour. We had the: *Prosciutto del Casentino - Le Selve di Vallolmo (Specialty Tuscan Ham of Free Range Grey Pork of Casentino, Tuscany (Slow Food Awarded Ingredients)) - MOVE OVER IBERICO. This was incredible - just melt in your mouth. You have to get this! *Ravioli di Peposo di Manzo al Burro e Timo (Ravioli Stuffed with Stewed Peppered Beef and Tossed in Butter and Thyme) - Peposo is a classic Tuscan dish that's usually tough cuts of meat cooked down in Chianti wine. Loved this 'twist' on a classic dish. They also so kindly split this portion for us which was perfect. The Peposo was perfection; if they just had Peposo as a dish, I'd order it! *Bistecca dell'Osteria (House Specialty Bone In Steak) - the star of the show!! While this isn't Chianni cattle or anything, this was fantastic piece of steak. Perfectly executed at medium rare. Love that the menu states "If you prefer your meat more so well done we would be happy to recommend another dish to you." Ha. Make sure you order a BOTTLE of wine! They have GREAT local options at super reasonable price points.

Restaurant is nice with maybe 6-7 tables inside but service was quite slow. We made reservations in advance but a few others were lucky to walk in and get a seat. Enjoyed the pork cutlet as it was cooked perfect and had great flavors but the other pasta and octopus items we had were very small portions and tasted just ok and we left hungry. The bistecca looked amazing and large portion size from what I saw at other tables but didnt get to try that this time around.

Only to find out the kitchen isn't actually open so we ordered two things that don't need the kitchen. We then wait another 15-20 minutes to find out what we ordered they can't even do. Ontop of this when they asked us what to drink we said nothing then they said water so sure, I specifically said no charge or free then yes to water. At this point we just left because it got ridiculous and about the water no it wasn't free they wanted 3.50 for a bottle of water that they said was free. Do not go here unless you want just wine.

All of the food that we ate tonight tasted bannnnnnnngin! Like straight Italiano from my great Italian grandmothers kitchen. All the pasta had enough flavor and was very creamy. Can't complain about most of the food but if I had to... I would say the spinach risotto. It had a bitter flavor to it. Wasn't bad but not the best. Not gonna lie... because our server was so sweet. I didn't mind for the risotto. I'll still give y'all a 5 star. The atmosphere had a good vibe. And also clean :)

Quick rundown of the menu, and an expectation to order quickly, and questions may result in what seems a rude response. Imagine Seinfeld and angering the soup chef. We arrived early and we were the first to enter, alone, unsure what to expect. A smug "yes we are open" shrug was our greeting. When asked what his favorite was, his response "I am the chef." He seemed to get frustrated with the second group asking lots of questions until something sparked. Eventually he took a selfie with us. Expect the unexpected with the experience, but enjoy the process. The food was wonderful and this was my most memorable meal in my last trip to Italy. I tell everyone I know about it.

Beautiful space, delicious food, but what an absolutely miserable experience!…read more Imagine a marble bar, full of people, sitting in silence, terrified by the angrily somber owner Zeb, with the busboy and his mother also in fear. I was going to walk out just five minutes after ordering, as he gave us very dirty looks and treated the other guests miserably, but my wife insisted to stay. The poor girl sitting next to me became Zeb's adversary of the day, and when she asked the difference between two pork dishes, he loudly insulted her, and explained the dishes as if she was a two-year old. And the poor girl, maybe 25, didn't know that you could just order a primi for lunch. My stomach is suddenly churning just writing this review. I may go back to enjoy provoking Zeb even further, and I'll order just a segundi, then ask for a Coke, then cut the pasta with knife, add cheese to the seafood dish, and I'll insist on paying with AmEx.
