10/10 -- The BEST Truffle Burger in Italy (Maybe the U.S. Too)…read moreMy wife and I did not expect to find a gourmet burger in Florence that beats major spots back home in California -- but this place did exactly that. The truffle burger? Hands down the best we've had in Italy, and honestly better than most in the U.S. The spicy garlic fries were insane -- crispy, bold, and addictive. If you're tired of pasta and pizza, this is the place you need. Service was 10/10, food was 10/10, and Alex delivered an amazing American-style experience right in Florence. Absolutely worth it. A must-try.

He went out of his way to help us with selecting and sampling different brews. He even compt us French fries. There were over 20 Birre on the wall and about 10 taps. I ordered a stout, excellent. We did not eat there, so I can't rate the food, only the fries.

There is a nascent craft beer thing going on here in Italy reminiscent to what NJ went through maybe 15 years ago. Probably because there were few patrons here early on a Monday night we got a chance to speak at length with Mateo our beertender; a very nice guy. He was more than happy to let us sample several beers and even brought us an order of fries we didn't order. With 10 taps pouring mostly local "birre" and twenty something bottles of craft beer, if you are into the beer thing, I would definitely stop in.

But this place fired on all cylinders. The food especially the fries were amazing!!! The ambiance of the restaurant is warm and very cozy. I am so glad and happy to have found this "hidden" gem.

So when we…read morewent to Florence, I checked out all the notable beer places on google and Alibi was the first one we went to (it's closest to the train station.) Well, they really set my expectations high for the rest of my list. Between us, we had about six different types of beer, each more delicious than the last. And we ordered food as well - her burrito was fine, if unexciting, but my cheeseburger with an egg on it was honestly the best burger I've had in a long time. The Italian cheese on it was phenomenal. We had to go back before we left cause it was just so good. The bartenders were friendly and helpful, and the bar itself was kinda cool and industrial, but you're going here for the beer and the food. You won't be disappointed.

We've eaten at many burger places in our…read morehome area of Seattle but have never had a place where both the burger and fries were the very best. The funny thing is that we wanted Italian food but all of those places were closed and our only good option was this place. Although we really enjoyed the Italian cuisine in Cortona, we're so glad we found this place. The server was very accommodating to my wife's soy allergy and made sure it wasn't in any of the food, especially the mayo as it often is. This place makes their own tasty mayo. Most burger places have either a great hamburger and okay fries or great fries and an okay burger. But it's very rare to find the perfect combo like here. We know it sounds crazy but if you're an American and accustomed to good burgers, give this place a try. You might be surprised that it's the best you've ever had! PS - to top off a great trip to Cortona, I got to meet and get a picture taken with Jovanotti, my favorite Italian singer!!!

We took it as a sign and decided we had to stop. The inside is surreal. U.S. flags, state license plates, hubcaps, neon everywhere, Marilyn Monroe in the foyer. Typical old-style diner seats, even a pinball machine in the corner. This place makes an Elvis shake (yah, with peanut butter and banana) and was serving up a special Thanksgiving meal today - we decided to go for burgers and shakes instead and were not disappointed. My middle boy had the 1950 DOC burger; I got the Juicy Lucy (purportedly a well known recipe from Minnesota - you learn something new everyday)... Definitely worth a stop if you happen to be wandering the outskirts of Poggibonsi and have been subsisting on pizza and gelato for a week or two...

I tried a few places and I finally hit the jackpot when I stumbled into this place. Not exacly downtown. But the couchsurfing dude where I'm staying lives close to this place. The burger was awesome. The atmosphere is somewhere in between a bar - italian style of course - a grocery store and a restaurant. The sandwiches and pasta also looked good. If you want fancy, this is not the place. If you want a great hamburger, this place is great.

The sides of potatoes and spinach were also stellar - I eat a lot of potatoes and those were at the top of my list. Highly recommend, and get the steak. It's cheaper here than other places also!
