Delicious food, beautiful decor/atmosphere and excellent service…read more Started with the cheese plate which was divine with four cheese options, pears, grapes, walnuts, honey and a fruity mustard. I could have stopped here and been happy. I had the brick chicken (called rooster Al fattone) with roasted vegetables. The chicken was juicy and perfectly cooked with grilled peppers, zucchini and eggplant. Delicious. My husband ordered gnocchi in a pesto type sauce with fried zucchini blossoms. Unfortunately, the blossoms just tasted like grease and the sauce did not have much flavor. My only reason for not making this a five star review. The dining room feels spacious by Italian dining standards. White table cloth with service to match. Indoor and outdoor options. Absolutely loved this dining experience.

My family and I were utterly disappointed with our experience at this restaurant. It was…read morerecommended to us by the staff at the hotel we were staying. First, they kept us waiting for a long time before even giving us menus, while they served others who were seated after us. Then they brought olive oil but forgot to bring the accompanying bread. Then it went downhill from there. Second, we ordered 6 entrées. Spaghetti, fish, and two plates of Tagliolini fatti in casa con pesto. The Tagliolini was not edible, it was bland, smelled bad and tasted like it was missing ingredients. We couldn't eat it, even after trying to add salt, pepper and cheese to improve the taste. Third, we complained about the Tagliolini, and the waitress essentially shrugged her shoulders. There was no attempt to make the situation right, offer something else or not to charge us for what was clearly still 2 full plates of inedible Tagliolini. While the starters (bruschetta and crostini), and the spaghetti and the cod entrees were okay (at least edible), the overall experience of poor service and bad food left a very bad taste in our mouths!

It was odd, but actually was romantic to be seated by ourselves right next to the fireplace. Our server was very sweet and brought us a bottle of Chianti Classico. Their house Chianti that is their own brand was one of my favorite Chianti's on the whole trip. OMG so good! Then came a complimentary soup in a cute little pot, with an assorted bread basket. We started with prosciutto and burrata and holy cow, both were the best of the trip. The prosciutto was sliced so thin it just melted in your mouth. The burrata tasted like it was made one hour before. Absolutely amazing. For our entrees I ordered the spaghetti with zucchini, zucchini flowers, truffles, and shrimp. My boyfriend ordered the steak and potatoes. We both loved our entrees and even had some leftovers. We tried the "world's best panna cotta" for dessert. We both love panna cotta and loved the texture. It was so decadent. However, it tasted exactly like caramel popcorn. I didn't love the flavor, but probably would have prefered if it had fresh berries or something on top instead. Our waitress here was very sweet. Great food! We would definitely go back!

Our time was set for 7:30, but we arrived about 15 minutes early and they gladly seated us anyway. Our table was downstairs in the basement area, and let me tell you something... these little Italian restaurants have some of the coolest downstairs dining spaces on the planet. This one may honestly be my favorite I've visited so far. It was cozy, packed full of character, and had that old-world atmosphere that just makes you want to sit back and enjoy the evening. Our waitress was super sweet and incredibly patient with us Americans from the Deep South as we worked through the menu and tried not to butcher the Italian language too badly. Eventually we loaded up our order, but the only thing that really matters is this: I ordered the Filletto di Scottona alla Griglia cooked medium rare... although I'm convinced that's the only way they cook steaks in Italy. That plate hit the table with a small side salad, and after the first bite -- BAM -- this thing was excellent. The steak was fresh, tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. I kept working through it bite by bite and loved every minute of it. Fantastic steak. Excellent atmosphere. Great service. The stars must have been aligned today because somehow I hit two 5-star meals in one day, and this one is definitely one of them. I'll absolutely be back eventually.

Our server suggested a wild boar with tagliatelle and a white sauce bolognese with pasta. Both were PHENOMENAL with a delicious red wine!! Price was reasonable. We have been overwhelmed by the number of tourists, of which we are as well, but this place was calm with great food!!! Go here!!

There were a lot of locals in attendance. The staff were charming and helpful. It felt as if we were invited to an unpretentious friend's house for dinner. We were started off with some typical Tuscan bread. This restaurant is a bargain. We were recommended a very good bottle of vermintino for €20. My buddy started off with pasta with lamb ragu- it was excellent. Our wives split an order of cannelloni to start. It may have been the best thing that we ate there. The bechamel sauce was ethereal. I started with a hearty bowl of ribollita. It's a soup but was so thick and hearty that it was like eating a stew. One of our party tried the grilled squid. It was stuffed with bread crumbs and was really good. My buddy had fried shrimp and squid. It was cooked perfectly. My wife had a very good order of sole, which was filleted tableside. I enjoyed the pork mixed grill which was accompanied by beans that had a deep savory flavor. Cafaggi offers a two course special for €27. Both of the dishes that I wanted were on the special menu. We split an excellent plate of biscotti and vin santo for dessert. This was a great meal and a great experience. It gave us a sense of what dining in Florence must have been like in the pre-Instagram age. Highly recommend!
