Every bite of food here was absolutely on point, and the service was rustic but super friendly nonetheless. The must-get appetizer is the Salsa Miste, which came with a dollop of each of their five dips: tzatziki (a creamy yogurt and cucumber dip), melinzanosalata (an eggplant puree), skordalia (a garlicky potato puree), and my two favorites, the taramosalata (fish roe and bread crumbs), and the spicy kafteri (ricotta, feta, and peppers). Each of these dips was completely distinct in flavor, and each of them went perfectly with the triangles of chewy, grilled pita bread that came on the side! For our mains, the Tris Special came with three different meats: gyros (which were carved from a rotating spit and had lots of crispy edges), souvlaki (a pork skewer), and my favorite, the bifteki (a juicy grilled ground beef patty). The plate also came with a dollop of tzatziki and a refreshing Greek salad made of cucumbers, tomatoes, olives, green bell peppers, red onions, and feta cheese. But my favorite entree was the Ceci e Polipo, a super satisfying stew of tender pieces of octopus along with chickpeas cooked in a broth of tomatoes, onions, carrots, and herbs. On top of the great flavors, all the dishes here came at an unbelievable value, and the portion sizes were extremely generous too! What an incredible Greek restaurant!

They were patient with our poor mastery of their language and guided us through the menu. The meatballs were a very good starter. They were served with warm pita and yogurt. I had the moussaka. It was seasoned well and was a good sized portion. My friend had the lamb chops. It was a large portion. She noted how tasty they were. They came with tomatoes and potatoes. We both had the Greek cake for dessert. It was very moist and quite delicious! The staff was kind enough to order our cab back to our hotel. An absolutely wonderful experience!

Was looking for a change-of-pace from consecutive days of Italian cuisine. Had a sneaking…read moresuspicion that Greek food might be better in Italy than it is in the States, and I was spot on. Super nice staff greeted us when we walked in, and the interior looks small but inviting. We ended up ordering carryout (or, "takeaway," as they say here), and the food was a pleasant surprise. The Greek salad doesn't have lettuce, but the tomatoes, feta, capers, olives, onions, etc. are very fresh and delicious. The tsatsiki is creamy and tart, and is a a excellent complement to the Greek chicken souvlaki. And...the souvlaki is so flavorful and so fresh, that it was a unanimous hit. If you are in the mood for something other than pasta, give this place a try!

The eggplant dish was the best I've ever had in my life - and I'm 54. The service was excellent and our friendly, helpful waitress was fluent in English and generous in answering our questions. The front of the restaurant has a countertop and is brightly lit, but the main seating patio in the back is quiet, pleasantly dark, and small but roomy (there is plenty of space between the tables which we found was not often the case in crowded Florence). I highly recommend this hidden gem!

The offerings are clearly multi-ethnic in combining Indian food with Italian, but given the tiny kitchen, the cooks did well. My risotto with shrimp and asparagus was great and my wife enjoyed her roasted chicken with potatoes. We don't understand the complaints on here about high prices. We paid 12E and 15E which were hardly exorbitant. Via dei Bardi has many other places worth exploring (a huge grocery store, two bakeries, etc.).
