    Friendly service at this place and nice ambiance. The house wine was also good. I had a pizza that…read morehad a number of different meats. All of which were pretty good, although some were just hot dogs. The crust was soft and airy and really good. A little soupy in the middle but still fine. All in all a good place conveniently located.

The area is pretty safe and fun to walk as it is tourist oriented with multiple shops and plenty to see and do. Great ambiance, we were greeted and sat down at a table immediately when we arrived. The waiter was helpful and provided good service. The food was great! My wife and I enjoyed our plates and even decided to trade half way through meal to experience both dishes. Luci ordered pasta fagioli, I have made pasta fagioli in the past as a good friend of mine had taught me how to make it. This dish was delicious and well seasoned, the consistency was a bit thick but I actually loved it. I ordered a Penne Pasta with shrimp and fresh tomatoes. The pasta was al dente, the shrimp and sauce was delicious with a hint of spiciness which created a great balance of flavor. We ordered a bottle if house table wine to enjoy with our dinner. At first, I was not sure about the wine, once it aired out for 15 mins it was great! We definitely enjoyed our dinner. At the end we were given a complementary shot of limoncello. Delicious as well. Great 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!
