They have amazing croissants and little pies and cookies stuffed with Nutella. They also have slices of pizza and appetizer-like food that they can heat up in a toaster oven, however I would stick to the baked goods because you can get really good gluten free pizza, calzones and pasta at multiple restaurants within a few blocks of this bakery. They also sell bread and whole cakes but we only sampled 4 of their baked goods. It's a relief to have so many options when visiting a new city. If you're looking to save money by stocking up your hotel or apartment with breakfast foods, this is a great place to go. It was surprising how inexpensive the items were compared to what we pay for the luxury of a gluten free muffin in the U.S. There were GF donuts listed on the website, but we didn't see any in the afternoon, so my advice would be to stop by early if you want the opportunity to choose from everything this lovely bakery makes.

I don't think it was this place's fault, just not for me. The cheese was smoked, which I hadn't seen any indication of on the menu. Maybe there is something about the dish that makes those in the know expect that flavor, but honestly, the flavor made me gag, which I assume is attributable to my vegetarianism We got there a little before the dinner rush, and I could see how it could get really busy. It is what it is, but I wouldn't come here if you're in a rush

As we switched our plates back and forth, I kept looking forward to the next bite of this dish. This indicates that quality of this dish alone. Paired with the Pino Grigio, wow... combination hit all the notes. Service was exceptional. While we did come 1.5hours before closing and noticed the tires looked on the staffs, they were such a trooper and carried on as it was their mission. Such dedication to their craft is commendable. Interior is quaintly decorated with rustic charm. White table cloth service elevated this establishment quite well. Paired with great food, service, and charm... this is an exceptional restaurant.

Every dish arrived perfectly prepared, and the service was exceptional from start to finish. We started with the tomato bruschetta and the Caprese salad with creamy burrata and ripe tomatoes--both were fresh, vibrant, and perfect for a warm summer evening. The prosciutto was sliced paper-thin, beautifully flavorful without being overly salty. The fried zucchini blossoms were light, crisp, and delicately fluffy. For my main course, I had the homemade pici pasta with sausage and kale ragù, and it was absolutely outstanding. The pasta was perfectly cooked, and the rich, savory ragù was full of flavor. The children ordered pasta with pesto sauce which they said was delicious and exactly the way they like it. Others in our group couldn't stop talking about their steaks, which were cooked to perfection and received rave reviews all around. The Chianti Classico was the perfect wine for our evening. It's not easy to deliver an exceptional dining experience for a group of 23, but L'Osteria di Gianni did exactly that. Delicious food, attentive service, and flawless execution made for a memorable evening. I would happily return and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Florence.

I was sitting outside really enjoying my night on a two person table given I was by myself. There was another double table next to me. I was asked to move for a party of four so they could sit outside. I said no. But why even ask? There was a table of four right inside behind me where the party of four ended up sitting.

Looking for a place to eat, found this gem and realized I wanted to try it. Everyone had told us…read moredinner reservations were a MUST here, but didn't think about it. Not many places actually have yelp reviews, but this one had so many with great feedback. The food looked amazing. When we arrived we thought they were closed, but that is because they moved to a bigger restaurant a few doors down. When we arrived at the front, the gentleman asked if we had reservations, which we didn't. He directed us to the line with no reservations. The line was a bit long, but doubled in size almost immediately. It also started pouring rain during this time and we were ALL getting drenched even with an umbrella. The non reservation line was not really moving unless people left the line. We waited a good hour. As we inched closer and closer, the lines were now both outrageous and getting seated seemed like a distant memory. The staff came out and gave out Sangria and Bread bites to help those in line feel welcome. We did finally get seated and we were so glad we waited, it was worth it! We ordered the Spaghetti Carbonara, the lobster spaghettini and the chicken breast with roasted potatoes. We also ordered sangria. Everything was so good and our total was 83 €. Prices were unbelievable! We were amazed at the quality, the service and how large the restaurant they relocated to was. It was like a well oiled machine. The food coming out quickly and efficiently. I will 100% be back if I return to Florence!
