    Really pleasantly surprised with our dinner. Service admittedly was slow though with a smile. They are busy running but can take a while. We had been there 40 minutes before flagging the waiter to order. The good news is once we order the food came out at a reasonable pace. Started with the warm octopus salad that was quite nice with nice chunks of tender octopus and warm potatoes. We also tried the Bistecca Florentine here. The nice thing is they have a smaller minimum serving size of only 700 g which is about 1 1/2 pounds. And it was really really good. It was cooked perfectly and well seasoned lots of nice salt and the taste was among the best states that I've had actually. And for the price of only €5.5 per 100 g it was actually very reasonable we paired with roasted potatoes and grilled vegetables, which were perfect compliments. The additional kicker was hooking on Tripadvisor a reservation. We got a 20% off our bill which made the meal even more affordable. It was our least expensive dinners and we loved it.

    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!

    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!!!

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.

    Wow, this place is amazing. Our waiter was very friendly and he was super hilarious. He made jokes…read moreand it enlightened the room. He provided us with excellent service. We ordered the 2.6 lb dry aged Florentine steak and gnocchi. The Florentine steak is a must try steak here. It was very juicy, tender, and it was bursting with flavor. The meat was nice and chewy. The steak was gigantic and it is bigger than my head. They first bring out the raw steak and weight it in front of you. The steak is enough to share for three people. The gnocchi was also very delicious. It was cheesy and rich. It was also in a way creamy and the cheese just melted in your mouth. One of the best things I've ever put in my mouth and eaten. The cheesecake is very famous in this restaurant. We tried it and understand why. The cheesecake was super creamy and soft. I had a great time and experience here. Definitely will be back sometime soon hopefully. This is a place I highly recommend to everyone. Come and try it out for yourselves.

    Another excellent spot we tried in Florence. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and seated…read moreimmediately. The staff was very friendly and our waiter was Nugo. He was awesome and had us laughing the entire night. We peppered him with a lot of questions about the menu, he answered everything and also accommodated my father-in-law, who is GF. He had his own GF bread basket and was able to order almost anything on the menu. We ordered a nice bottle of Montepulciano red for the table that was $48. Others had the Hugo spritz. For app I had the anchovies with roasted red pepper, sea salt and oil over grilled crostini, very good. I skipped first course and ordered the ribeye steak for my main course. 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. Others ordered the fillet and it was cooked perfectly, the angels and demons gnocchi, and the veal scallopini. Everybody was pleased Really cool spot with a very good wine selection, drinks, excellent food and a fun atmosphere that you don't find at many places. Nugo was an A+ server.
