    Service great. Atmosphere great. Food was ok. We enjoyed the simple pasta, the bruschetta, the tortellini, and the drinks. The pasta with tuna was too fishy for us. The salmon pasta had a nice smoky taste but pretty creamy rich. I loved the spaghetti with tomatoes. The limoncello was good but not as cold as I like. Well located to our hotel and good vibes. They have a wine bar below. They have bread when you sit down - and ask for the oil and balsamic because it needs some flavor.

    Staying very close to this Pizzaria and found it on Yelp so let's dive in! Scooter ride here with epic parking right next to my table! Had the best plate of simple red sauce pasta I've ever had and of course a bottle of 2020 Chianti. Slow dined on my pasta and then ordered up a really great Pizza MargaritaTrying to finish an amazing Tiramisu but might not make it

    Pleasant and well priced meal at the end of the week. Very friendly wait staff. Excellent food. Short walk from my hotel

    The Florence steak!

    We'd heard about the steak that was the region's speciality....plus we wanted a break from pasta. The steak was excellent. Service was good and servers were friendly and helpful. The min size steak is 1kg so be careful about appetizers. We only added one side (house baked potato) that was over the top good.

    My husband and I came here this evening, purely on the fact that it looked pleasant and had pizza (our teenage kids were back in the hotel sleeping because of jet lag, so we thought bringing them pizza was a good idea). This place was wonderful. The moment we walked in the service was friendly, warm, and easy-going. No hustle and bustle and it wasn't overly touristy. In fact, I noticed half the groups dining in were speaking Italian. The restaurant staff spoke perfect English, BTW. The menu options were fun. Lots of choices broken down by appetizer, first course, etc. My husband and I got the fried polenta squares with chicken liver and mushrooms. We are not big pate lovers, but the chicken liver was really good and we are glad we ordered it. (The mushroom one was also very good!) We split a pizza (prosciutto ala fungi) and pasta (salmon and lemon tagliolini.) Both were very good and the presentation was especially well done. I totally recommend the tiramisu for dessert. It is SO good! I rarely write reviews but wanted to take a moment and share my thoughts about this excellent gem of a restaurant. Thank you.

    Enchanting, beautiful and unique wine cellar for private dining events!

    With a line out the door, a private event happening and the restaurant bustling with people the owner was very accommodating and welcoming and squeezed us in for a very enjoyable meal with both amazing food and service. Definitely make a point of dining here when in Florence. The private dinning wine cellar has an amazing unique ambiance and it is walking distance to the train station and Santa Maria Novella!

    Pizza con mozzarella, berenjena, zucchini y pimiento amarillo.

    Es un restaurante muy lindo y cómodo. Un menú súper variado con precios razonables. Tienen opciones gluten free y vegan. Y un Excelente servicio. Meseros muy amables y complacientes! Hasta me llevaron un bizcochito con vela por ser mi cumpleaños....Me encantó!!!

    Happy to say this place is still just as amazing as I remember it almost 10 years ago!…read more A couple of girlfriends and I discovered Pensavo Peggio during our first trip to Italy in 2017, and it quickly became one of the reasons Florence became one of my favorite cities. Back then, I ordered the Osso Buco, Lasagna, and Tiramisu--and I still remembered how incredible everything was. So, of course, when I returned nearly 10 years later, I had to order the same meals... and yes, I said meals! Fabrizio, the same server who took care of me in 2017, asked, "Are you sure you want two dinners?" I told him, "Yes! I want to try them both." Fast-forward to 2026: I walked back in two days ago, reminded Fabrizio of our conversation, and told him I was ordering both again. He immediately started laughing. Some things never change! My boyfriend ordered the pappardelle and instantly fell in love with it. We also shared a delicious cheese and meat platter and, of course, finished with Tiramisu. Nearly 10 years later, Pensavo Peggio still holds a special place in my heart. Highly recommend this cute little spot! It just goes to show that sometimes the best memories--and the best meals--are found when you venture off the beaten path. Some places are simply worth coming back to.

    Saw the reviews on Yelp and wanted to try it since we were staying around the corner…read more Had the Cacio Pepe and Grandma's Lasagna. Lasagna was 10/10 which is why my wife kept eating mine and the Pepe was still very good. Eat here for phenomenal food and value.

We found Trattoria Za Za, but could not get reservations. We showed up with 60 people waiting in line like us. The line moved quickly and we were seated in a glass enclosure with nice views. The menu is vast and the food flying out of the kitchen looked amazing. An appetizer of lightly battered squash blossoms was unique and enjoyed by all. Our first choice was the green peppercorns and Cognac cream covering a steak with rosemary potatoes. This was the best dishes of our 17 day excursion. The steak was perfect while the sauce was incredibly delicious. The steak with argula salad was our second choice. It was also savory and highly recommended. The setting here is great, amazing food, good value and a truly relaxed environment. If you are in Florence, please treat yourself to a fine meal at Trattoria Za Za for that special evening. To the establishment, great restaurant and we will return. Congrats on a beautiful evening.

It's close enough to the lively, bustling part of Firenze to feel connected, yet just far enough to escape the city's never-ending wave of tourists. The service was incredible, and the owner (I'm pretty sure it was the owner?) brought so much energy that he single-handedly turned the whole place into an eclectic little spot during the "rush hour" of the evening. The menu was solid, if a bit "generic" at times. While everything we ordered was delicious, nothing at Trattoria Giovanni felt like a dish you couldn't find elsewhere... and honestly, that's perfectly fine! It was traditional, comforting, and exactly what we were craving. The plate of cured meats and cheese was phenomenal, a great start to the meal. The pastas were really good as well, though one of the meat dishes had a slightly off texture, with the chunks of meat a bit overcooked. All in all, we loved our meal and would definitely recommend this spot if you're in Florence.
