*Reviewing for us picky Americans abroad* Food and service was fantastic! Ordered the seasonal vegetable soup, the wild boar pappardelle, the ribeye, and Nona's tiramisu. 10/10 for everything!! read more

First Impressions - we did outdoor seating and it was a late dinner so not much available. Nothing about it stood out to me. The host was very nice and welcoming. It was outdoor seating so it seemed romantic. The Noms - Bruschetta: tomatoes were very fresh. I could taste the herbs. I ordered a second healthy because it was so good. Steak: hubby ordered the steak, it was hard as a rock Ravioli: overly sauced, yet still dry... how did that happen? I don't know. In Conclusion - would not recommend unless you just want the bruschetta. read more

1&1/2 Not sure why this tourist trap has such a high cumulative rating here but I felt inclined to drop this to provide a much needed corrective measure. As soon as I walked in and got a look at the cheesy Epcot-set level cliche decor I had a feeling we would be getting soulless inauthentic slop that is personification of the outdated concept of what legit Italian cuisine would be to a cruise ship denizen, which I suspect a number of the customers in the house in fact were. A corny gimmicky caesar salad w/huge sheets of sub-par parm draped obnoxiously over the wilted greens, a completely mediocre oversized and overpriced steak in the supposed Florentine style that seems to be not really a thing at all, and in the context of an extremely dubious "truffle sauce" raviolis that would be right at home at and z list Olive Garden clone, pasta that somehow was overcooked in this country where that would typically seem impossible to find anywhere even if you were trying. This made the important point to me at a crucially early time in our trip that you simply can not get away with an American style early dinner in this country. The best you are going to get eating out at that hour would be apertivo snacks, but hey that can be a wholly glorious experience in and of itself that should be wholly embraced. Anyplace serving a full meal between the hours of basically 3-7;30ish is strictly operating as a phony, garbage-quality cash-grab scam, that no Italian would be caught dead in, strictly serving slop to American tourists, and the most low brow amongst even that group. The half star is for the courteous and professional staff. read more

Just had a lovely meal. Very nice, respectful staff. Fantastic food and very fair pricing for the quality and quantity. Good wine list for a smaller place, also fairly priced. Highly recommend, it is also air conditioned although we sat outside tonight. read more

Kind, friendly service and delicious food. Bruschetta- The tomatoes were seasoned nicely. Caesar Salad- Typical taste. Ravioli di Pecorino con Burro- We were so surprised how delicious this was! Chocolate Cake- Warm, soft, melty, chocolatey lava cake. A perfect way to end the meal. We visited a second time, I tried the Panna Cotta, and was blown away. It was the best panna cotta I've ever had in my life! read more

The food was ok. Came out a lil cold. Bread was hard. If I go back I'll try something else

Down the street from our b&b. Great food, super nice people that works there. We ordered the bruschetta, pasta with red wine boar ragu, thin sliced steak with arugula and parmigiana. read more

Good things: it's open and friendly service. Bad part, the crossaint has a weird fat that sticks to the top of your mouth and or makes your mouth feel coated. I won't order pastries from here again. I order a warm milk with chocolate and that was good. So I'll order drinks from here. read more

September 2024 I rarely write reviews but I felt this restaurant truly deserved one. The restaurant is the perfect spot for appetizers and wine, lunch, or dinner. We enjoyed it so much, we returned to it on a different day. One of the afternoons we were there, staff quickly put together a setup for about a group of ten so they could enjoy some wine. All of the staff is very friendly and accommodating. I have several food allergies and they were very professional We started with the bruschetta My husband and I enjoyed our main dishes so much, we had them on both occasions! My husband had the Ossobuco all fiorentina con fagipoli all'olio. I had the tortilla mugellani di palate con rage toscano. We also had a side of spinach salami and fagipoli cannellini all 'olio evo Everything was fresh, cooked perfectly, with amazing flavor. The wine they recommended was excellent as was their private lable port. Wilma dose an amazing job! read more

I've been wanting to come here since I was a kid and it was more beautiful than I could ever imagine. The staff was more than helpful, we have small children and a stroller, we got plenty if help. Kids are free so we just bought adult tickets. They even took us up a very cool side entrance right into the main floor. Wow read more

What a memorable meal! A sumptuous, classic Bistecca Florentine, with the freshest bruschetta & perfectly al dente spaghetti. Even the cheapest glass of Chianti Classico they offer is highly rated. Quaint and romantic - perfect for dinner with a loved one. Hoping to come back again! read more

Cozy restaurant with a "welcome home" type feel very close to attractions. The service is attentive like you're visiting family. We had the dry aged Florentine steak, which was cooked perfectly and a good value compared to others. We also had the truffle ravioli and pici (a thick spaghetti) in meat sauce . . . Both done superbly! Pricing was reasonable, good food, family and casual atmosphere, pretty good wine list, and in the middle of tourist hell (or heaven)!! read more

After a long trip to Cinque Terre, my family and I were tired and very very hungry. By chance, we stumbled upon Le Capelle Medicee after seeing that they served dry-aged Bistecca alla Fiorentina at extremely reasonable prices. They did not disappoint. The Caprese was served with burrata mozzarella and was light and refreshing. The produce was fresh. The bistecca was divine, seared perfectly and served with coarse salt. The sides were well done, traditional and flavorful. Finally the dessert. The tiramisu and the cheesecake are must-trys, and the panacotta was something new, but equally delicious. The service was amazing as well, with the owner spending a good amount of time at our table. 10/10 would recommend if in Florence. read more

We had found this place on Yelp/TripAdvisor and decided to check it out. We both were glad that we did! We arrived around 7:30pm and didn't have to wait at all. The owner greeted us and sat us right away. We ended up ordering a bottle of house red wine (€23), bottle of water (€2.50), Tagliatelle Ragu (€10), Tagliata Rucola e Grana (€20), & a side of potatoes (€5). The ambiance was cozy, the food was delicious, and the service was fantastic. We both highly recommend this restaurant! read more

Please!!!!!!!! I need more stars. If you visit Florence and do not come here you are making one of the greatest mistakes of your life. This is the food orgy in the finest sense of the word. The staff is incredibly friendly and informative. They go above and beyond to satisfy your every need and provide information so that you make a perfect choice for your meal. We had the pasta with the wild boar sauce incredibly satisfying. The ravioli and truffle sauce requires a cardiologist be at table side because it is so rich with butter and cream and truffle flavors. This is a fiesta for your tongue. The prices are embarrassingly reasonable for a meal of this quality. Wine list is exemplary. I am emphasizing again if you do not come here you are making a grave error. read more

Great hospitality & food. There are lots of options as you walk around Florence trying to decide where to have a meal that you won't be disappointed in. This is the place. Great service, plenty of Tuscan regional recipes, great steaks, wine & desserts. You can eat outside or in. We visited 2 nights in a row -- had pasta the first night & a large t-none we split on the. 2nd night. Definitely not a fly-by-night restaurant. They've been here a long time. read more

Best pasta I've had in Florence. The service is amazing! Ask for Aldo if you have the chance, he made this experience worth it!

First of all the owner was so nice when she sat us. The whole team was all smiles and so friendly. We truly felt welcome! They dropped off a glass of procesco rosé for both of us. It was delicious and so thoughtful! Every single thing we ate was delicious and well cooked and seasoned. The bread basket also had fried dough in it . The servers were too funny and so good at explaining the dishes, especially the Gnudi, which would be my reccomendation for the pasta especially if you love sage. My favorite waiter was joking and telling me that it was a very typical Tuscan dish, and saying they call them nuggets. My boyfriend ordered the wild boar pappardelle, which was very tender and so flavorful. The steak was cooked to perfection and the peppercorn added a nice zing. The bean soup was also delightful. The spinach was very well cooked with both garlic and red pepper. We loved the tiramisu and just the happy and welcoming atmosphere. We also saw Filmena welcome back old customers and adorably blush at a customer's compliment for thr wonderful meal and service. At the end of our meal when we were getting ready to roll out of the restaurant...the waiter sent over a dessert wine as a thank you for being nice. What a wonderful restaurant and such lovely welcoming and thoughtful people. read more

Our first meal in Florence was here! Amazing food and hospitaity! Started us with a prosecco rosé on the house and after 3 courses of burrata and prosciutto, tagliatelle with mushrooms and an amazing fillet, the staff rewarded us with an amazing flourless chocolate cake with a dessert wine, gratis! Come here and enjoy. read more

Le Capelle Medicee was our favorite restaurant in Florence. We visited FOUR TIMES!! The people are wonderful and by the end of our trip became our friends. We LOVED the desserts, especially the cheesecake, it was the best cheesecake we have ever had. The manager got the chef out of the kitchen and he gave us the receipt to take back to the states with us! Thank you Le Capelle Medicee for your wonderful hospitality, food, and friendship! read more

To start, I got into Florence very late and this was one of the only restaurants that serves food until midnight. The Best steak I've ever had, hands down. The service was very good and the house wine was on point. I would recommend sitting outside and chatting with the neighbors - you'll end up drinking many bottles of wine and meeting great friends. 10/10 will come back next time in Florence read more

After reading all the 5 star reviews raving about this restaurant we decided to give it a try. I must say that the reviews are ABSOLUTELY all true down to the amazing cheesecake!!!! We were fortunate enough to have Aldo as our waiter. He was so nice and helped us pick a perfect wine to compliment our meal. My husband and daughter got the filet and you literally could hear the Chef in the back frying them up. I got the ravioli with spinach and it is ABSOLUTELY FRESH & HOMEMADE!!!!!! We each got a dessert and again made on the spot!!!!! My daughter ordered the Crème Brûlée which you could hear the torch turn on to crisp the top - absolutely made to order!!!!! I got the cheesecake YUMMMY and my husband got the Tiramisu. AGAIN absolutely homemade!!! This quaint little restaurant is so cozy and nice, but the food is epic! DO NOT wait to the end of your trip to give it a try like we did!!!!! GO NOW, because you definitely will want to go again. read more

This is our third trip to Florence in the last five months...... We have eaten at over 30+ different restaurants .... most have been fantastic, but this little gem STANDS OUT ! From the quality of food and preparation .... to the kindness and love that's put into each dish ! We have tried many dishes from pasta, steak, salads , and seafoods ... ALL fresh ! We saw the other 5 star reviews and wondered if it was really that good.... answer ... YES !! We've eaten 3 days in a row here. Enjoy !!! ps. The wine choices are also great ! read more

Another close second to our dinners here in Florence, the ravioli pasta was so simple and yet complex with an amazing sauce. The steak with Chianti red wine sauce was delicious - they know how to cook it to appropriate temperature. The staff was so friendly - and we had a surprise pana corta that was delicious read more

Food was great, and service from (I assume) the owner was excellent. Before she showed up in the dining area however, service from the waiters was incredibly poor - took nearly an hour to get any attention from them after being seated, and they were generally disorganized and a little rude overall. read more

This place is good -- better than most, not the best thing we found but definitely much better than the tourist trap Italian places in Florence. Great service. Carbonara was very good, ragu was very average but at least still al dente. Florentine steak was great. Cheesecake was great too. Would recommend if you're close and don't want to walk farther outside the city. read more

Waiters are sleepy. Too slow. They should probably work at the back. Steaks are good. Will never go back or recommend this place.

The Best restaurant I had the opportunity to go to in Florence. Everything was amazing!!! Highly recommend

We had such a wonderful dinner here this evening! We had the T-bone steak and Ravioli w/ Ragu sauce and everything was delicious! The menus had English descriptions - Conveniently located in the center of Florence. Will definitely come back for dinner tomorrow night! read more

Excellent food at fantastic prices. The service was great. Highly recommend. Had the Greek (Greca) salad and pasta with Bolognese sauce. Both were excellent. Tiramisu was moist. Finish with limoncello. I would absolutely go back here on my next trip. read more
