    Peanut butter coffee
    Claudia L.

    The food is great and the service is even better. A slight American vibe to it, but the food is so fresh and tasty. Loved my pancakes, yogurt bowl, and the peanut butter coffee. Couldn't help but do thumbs up for the photo w it. lol

    Great brunch, great people great atmosphere great place to simply recharge.

    The service the food the atmosphere is fabulous, just simply sitting brunching and recharging it's a great place. Old school niceness. Totally refreshing.

    Salmon avocado bagel

    We've been in Italy for a while now so we needed to mix up our brunches. Rooster cafe did not disappoint! The mango tango juice was beautiful and delicious, as was the purple drank. The eggs Benedict was phenomenal, and I do not say that lightly!! Perfectly cooked runny egg, delicious ham, and the English muffin was a perfect vessel. I also got the salmon and lox bagel, which was great as well. The smoked salmon is such a strong flavor that I could taste it more than the other ingredients. The bagel was softer and less thick than I was expecting, but it too was a great vessel. The potatoes were soft, hot, and well seasoned. Their homemade peanut butter was very thin, but delicious and authentic to the peanut taste. The service and ambiance were both very pleasant, no complaints here. There were tables when we arrived at 9:15 but they had developed a line out the door by 10:00. Highly recommend you stop here while you're in Florence!

    The empty plates of this dinner! The food was amazing.

    Just a short walk from the local museums and bars. Me and my friends went here for dinner and they did not disappoint. Our group of 13 people was very satisfied with the quality of the food, the service, and the environment. definitely a spot worthy of visiting!!!

    Chicken and waffles were amazing and I can't believe kids took down their whole stack of pancakes.

    Amazing food it was delicious. The crunch of the fried chicken was just fantastic. Kids got the rooster waffles and sugar levels were off the charts. I think I'm starting to pay for it now as their ears have stopped working. Enjoy.

    Egg Benedict with roasted potatoes

    It's actually an American breakfast place. Amazing egg Benedict and roasted potatoes! Saw lots of tourists and there was a little wait time. The salmon avocados bagel was also really yum!

    We had two amazing breakfasts here during our stay in Florence . Located right off Via Tornabuoni , the restaurant opens at 9am, is quite large with a huge menu, great cappuccinos , fantastic service and most important ...air conditioning !!! The toast is Tuscan bread (so good!) and the eggs are light and tasty. Honestly you can't go wrong with anything on the menu from the smoothies , the fresh juices, ...try something new. The place is definitely worth a stop during your trip but I'm sure you'll be back for at least a 2nd visit!

    Love this place. We located this gem a few blocks from our hotel. It was a welcome taste of home as they specifically serve American Food! The ambiance is cool and kinda hipster. Very comfortable and inviting. We ordered the hash, grandma pancakes, and English breakfast, which consisted of bacon, sausage, eggs, and pancakes with sautéed veggies. I also had an omelette on a different visit that came with a side salad. Everything was delicious, including the coffee! This restaurant actually became our morning go to spot for brunch on several days.

    Amazing spot in Florence. Perfect for breakfast. Great service, friendly team and lot of choices of tasty food.

    Rooster Screwed
    Abigail R.

    I saw this place on the way back to the hotel. They were advertising a 6€ gin and tonic, so I had to stop in. My boyfriend got the Carolina and loved it. I got a Rooster screwed which was almost like a Screwdriver Smoothie. The drinks were amazing and so well priced. The service is excellent. Our waitress was so helpful. The place itself is very cozy and relaxing. There weren't very many people when we came which was a nice change of pace from the crowded streets of Firenze. Absolutely recommend!

We ordered the 2.6 lb dry aged Florentine steak and gnocchi. The Florentine steak is a must try steak here. It was very juicy, tender, and it was bursting with flavor. The meat was nice and chewy. The steak was gigantic and it is bigger than my head. They first bring out the raw steak and weight it in front of you. The steak is enough to share for three people. The gnocchi was also very delicious. It was cheesy and rich. It was also in a way creamy and the cheese just melted in your mouth. One of the best things I've ever put in my mouth and eaten. The cheesecake is very famous in this restaurant. We tried it and understand why. The cheesecake was super creamy and soft. I had a great time and experience here. Definitely will be back sometime soon hopefully. This is a place I highly recommend to everyone. Come and try it out for yourselves.

Creamy and spicy, only if you mix in the hot parts. They come to table and weigh the meat in front of you so you know what you're paying for. It is cooked rare or medium rare. This is NOT like steakhouses in NYC. In its own category. It was presented with melting bone marrow, sea salt and cut off the bone. Extremely flavorful and tender. My only issue is that the fat doesn't render and there was silverskin in some pieces making it inedible, plus you've paid for this by weight. Great attentive service by Nick

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!

    Wow, what a special place…read more Set inside a 14th-century tower near the Ponte Vecchio in Florence, this restaurant delivers an unforgettable dining experience from the moment you walk in. The atmosphere alone is worth a visit, but the food is what truly makes it exceptional. We ordered the ravioli, pappardelle with wild boar ragù, the Florentine steak, a mixed salad, affogato, and fresh strawberries with mascarpone cream. To drink, we shared a small carafe of red wine and a Pinot Grigio. Everything was spectacular. The Florentine steak was easily the best--and largest--I have ever had. Perfectly cooked, incredibly flavorful, and remarkably tender, it was the highlight of an already outstanding meal. The pappardelle with boar ragù was rich, hearty, and deeply satisfying, while the ravioli was beautifully prepared and full of flavor. Every dish felt authentic, carefully executed, and memorable. The wine was another pleasant surprise. Both selections were excellent and very reasonably priced, making the meal feel like an even better value. Our waiter was friendly, attentive, and incredibly helpful. He patiently answered questions, explained the menu, and guided us toward some fantastic choices. Although we thought we were too full for dessert, we're very glad we changed our minds. The affogato was fantastic, and the strawberries with mascarpone cream were absolutely delicious. One of the highlights of the evening was watching our four-year-old happily clutching two spoons and enthusiastically scooping fresh strawberries and mascarpone into his mouth. It was one of those memorable family travel moments that you don't forget. A terrific meal, a unique historic setting, excellent service, and a wonderful atmosphere. This was one of our favorite dining experiences in Florence, and I highly recommend it.

I went to the internet for the best Florentine steak and Trattoria Mario consistently popped up as highly rated. I reached out to the restaurant via email to make a reservation for a Friday. I wanted to get the earliest reservation possible, so the restaurant reserved me for 7:30pm, which was when they open. I was advised to show up on time - even a 2 minute delay would make me miss my reservation. I can see why Trattoria Mario was strict on reservations. They open on the dot, and then a staff member calls out each reservation at 7:30pm like a roll call. Seemed to me that if you don't have a reservation then you're out of luck, because there was no waitlist and the restaurant small and space was limited. Service was great. Our waitress was highly attentive and got us in/out of the restaurant quickly, which was what we were going for. Food came out in a timely manner. We ordered the penne al ragu, salad misto, and a Florentine steak to share. The penne was perfectly al dente, and I liked the meat sauce. I did find the pasta sauce salty, but it could've came from the grated parmesan. The saltiness was not a fluke. The Florentine steak was just pure beef and a ton of salt... too much salt for my liking. I also decided that I'm not a fan of Florentine steak in general.

Am I the only one that thought steak florentine was supposed to be served this way? Maybe that's was my mistake but I thought that's how it was prepared in Florence. Anyways, I was immediately suspicious when our waitress asked how we would like our steak cooked and her suggestions were medium or medium well. Uhhhh what? That goes against everything I believe in! The steak came out on a hot stone slab on top of a wooden box. The slab obviously continued to cook the steak so I immediately took off a few pieces to prevent this. The steak was thick and tender with chunks of large salt grains. It looked nice all sliced up but that's where the compliments end. It lacked flavor and ended up cooking to be more medium rare when I grabbed my pieces and then even medium by the time my dad grabbed his second slice. Our waitress seemed annoyed when we asked for the truffle sauce to accompany our steak (my dad forgot to ask for it when we placed our original order) and walked away with a huff to go grab it. The fries came out cold and limp with flavorless truffle shavings on top. I'm not sure why this place has such great reviews. Maybe it got too big for its britches and the quality has declined? The one saving grace was the crema bruciata! And the very understanding hostess who gladly pushed our reservation from 7:30 to 8:00pm due to travel difficulties. Whatever the reason, this place definitely missed the mark. You can't walk three steps without seeing a steakhouse here in Florence. My recommendation? Try one of those.
