    Bruschetta
    Jenny T.

    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!

    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.

    Apricot crossaint.
    Rebecca G.

    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.

    Bruschetta - mmmm!

    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!

    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)!!

    Amazing food and service, if you're in Florence a must try! I went with my family and we pretty much ate there everyday.

    This place is great. Huge Aperol Spritzes, great service, and great food. Highly recommend stopping in for a meal when in Florence.

    Bistecca alla Fiorentina and Salted spinach

    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.

    Wow! Some of the best food we had during our whole Italian experience. The server was also amazing and so friendly, made us feel so comfortable. It is such a quaint spot in a beautiful location, serving authentic, fresh food. The drinks were amazing too- go!

    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!

    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.

    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!

    What a maze of a restaurant, super interesting decor and set up. Such a cute restaurant with so…read moremany "rooms". Definitely can tell the old building and maybe they had expanded over the years. The service was amazing and the food delicious. This is one of the places that friends recommended and it's also on the list of many influencers. Tourist trappy, maybe. But the food was totally worth it. We were in the area around 4:30PM and decided to stop in, totally not expecting much as we didn't make a reservation but figured if they're open and not busy, why not give them a try. The most memorable dish we had was the appetizer we order - fried polenta with mushrooms and chicken liver pate, the polenta fried crispy, the mushrooms creamy and the chicken liver pate so smooth and savory. We also ordered 2 pasta dishes - wild boar sauce pappardelle and spaghetti alla carbonara. So tasty and with depth of flavors. Paired well with the house white wine we ordered as well. Definitely a spot you don't want to miss when in Florence.

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.

Waiter was super friendly, taking time to explain their wines in detail and food options. They even have a kids menu with sizeable portions for older kids.

Had we had come earlier in our stay we might have come back again They also do a wine window which I wish I'd known about earlier because the other one we tried for fun was not good

The servers check in frequently and are quick to help with anything you need. The ambiance is lively with popular music, laughter, and conversation. We chatted with the table next to us on the way out and met some fellow Texans! On our way out, the owner also remembered my name and started introducing me to other tables to make friends. What a fun place to be! The food was absolutely amazing. When we saw them slicing the salami right in front of us, we decided to order the salami plate and we were so glad we did! The zucchini flower and saffron pasta was bursting with flavor and the pasta was so perfectly cooked. I couldn't get enough! The duck ragu pasta was also hearty, rich, and delicious. The sauce was so good, my family soaked up every last bit with our bread. The ricotta spinach ravioli was also amazing!! Again the sauce was such a standout. The ravioli was so fresh with the perfect amount of bite. The green pepper sauce steak was soooo good. Cooked perfectly, with such a unique sauce that the whole peppercorns added perfectly to in texture and spice. Finally, the raspberry tiramisu. We were so full, but when they set these down our dessert stomachs were ready. They were amazing! Not the strongest raspberry flavor, but still such a delicious end to the meal. Side note, you MUST have a reservation to eat here, and they only take reservations by call. Because I didn't have a way to call them, I asked my Airbnb hosts who did it for me (also amazing people). While we were eating, there was a crowd forming outside of people waiting to get in but unable to. It's so worth it to visit Vini e Vecchi Sappori! I'll definitely have to come back next time I'm in Florence.

    If you're planning a trip to Florence, make the effort to book a table at Vini e Vecchi Sapori…read more It's a small, popular restaurant that only takes reservations by phone, and it does seem to book up for every meal. We had our hotel call for us when we checked in and were lucky to grab a 1:30 lunch slot on a Thursday afternoon. We saw the fat physical reservation book when we went, and also saw an attempted walk-in get turned away. We wanted to go for dinner, but I'm just glad we were able to get in at all. Vini e Vecchi Sapori was easily my favorite restaurant in Florence. I loved the cozy, vibrant dining room, snug and eclectically decorated. We were at a table so tiny, I worried about pulling a muscle when I crossed my legs. It was nestled amongst other tiny tables, and abutted a counter where plates were put out for service and the reservation book set down in its glory next to my husband's head. Service was warm, efficient, and attentive. Our waiter basically told what to order and we obeyed him, with excellent results. The one-page handwritten menu, helpfully available in English, presented the day's offerings and this preemptive list of disclaimers: No Pizza No Cappuccino No The Fork No Ice No Spritz No Ketchup FUCK CANCER There was a brief selection of Italian wines by the glass, and we got the Chianti Classico and the Bruno de Montalcino, both lovely. The food was delicious, starting with good bread and good olive oil. We ordered the mixed Tuscany salami and the beef carpaccio as appetizers, and they were both superb and not in the least bit redundant. There were four or five types of salami, every one of them fantastic, and I loved the thin, silky carpaccio, served with rucola, parmesan, olive oil, and black pepper. We shared two splendid pastas, spinach ricotta ravioli in a creamy rose tomato sauce and a hearty pappardelle with duck ragu. For dessert, we had the lush, irresistible raspberries tiramisu. I plan to come back to Florence one day, and will make a point of coming back to Vini e Vecchi Sapori. It's a special restaurant, the kind you hope to find in Italy, a welcoming place with lively ambiance and wonderful food.

This restaurant is such a VIBE. Cozy, romantic and a total scene. Service was great as was the food. It was tough because there was so much on the menu that I wanted to try but we couldn't not order the pear ravioli and the Florentine steak.

I shared two pasta dishes with my daughter (the handmade Pappardelle with Maremman Wild Boar Ragu and the Carbonara). Both were very good but not the best we've had. Appetizers were good: Salad with pecorino cheese, oranges, pine nuts and walnuts. We ordered the Octopus appetizer as well. The Octopus was beautifully prepared and presented, but didn't have much flavor. They nailed the Espresso Martini! One of the best I've ever had! We ordered the huge Florentine steak to share between 4 of us and it was more than enough. Ultimately what knocked this review down to 3 stars and what was really disappointing was how they targeted us as tourists with the note at the bottom of the bill (see picture). It read "GRATUITY NOT INCLUDED" in all CAPITAL LETTERS. Also note it was the only thing in English on the entire bill. If it had been our first meal in Florence we might have fallen for this tactic, however it was our last. There's definitely some hostility towards tourists in Florence. Don't get me wrong, some of the people and restaurants we've visited have been very welcoming and friendly. However we recently saw tourist taxes go up significantly, and then you see tricks like this on the bill at La Giostra. This was the ONLY restaurant in Florence where we encountered this. Once jet fuel prices make flying a relic of the past I would argue that some Europeans who depend on tourists for their livelihood may not miss our presence but will certainly miss our spending. Save your money and go research the many other places to eat while in Florence.
