Visiting Florence for the weekend and I'm so happy we stopped here. It's a true Neapolitan style pizza, but add the stuffed ricotta crust, it's truly amazing. read more

A wonderful pizza experience in Florence. The crust was lighter than other pizzas we had and the ingredients tasted very fresh. We realised after we got our pizza that there wasn't cheese on it, but they happily gave us some grated parmesan to top it. The ambiance was lovely and the staff were very friendly. read more

Here in Florence, and after visiting the Academy and checking David out, husband and I ventured down a few streets and discovered this inviting cafe. When we arrived yesterday, we ended up dealing with cool temps, and I started to feel symptoms of a sore throat, so we found a pharmacy to get some soothing remedy, and my eye caught this cafe, which offered some smoothies and energy juices, one of which was the orange energy with ginger that we ordered. The juice is wonderful, and with the beneficial ingredients to nip any bug out. So pleased to have found this gem. The staff was pompt to welcome us at the door too. read more

Açaí bowl was so good. "Dry fruit" means nuts so just a warning as it was not labeled on their menu and I am allergic to walnuts and had to send back my bowl originally. But the bowl was amazing still!! The vanilla latte was also so good. Staff was quick and the establishment is so cute. So many gluten free options as well read more

This restaurant has two parts two it - pizza and other dishes. If you want pizza from the wood fire oven, then it's separate seating. We were seated almost immediately and given a menu to order. Honestly I felt a bit rushed and pressured to decide if we wanted to eat here and get a table. But as soon as we got a table, no one was interested in taking our order. I had to flag down a waitress and finally put in an order. We got one pizza to share (Which apparently is taboo in Italy but whatever). We ended up getting the eggplant pizza which was honestly quite good. The people next to us got tiramisu and but they weren't to impressed with it when I asked them. The waiters were kind enough to let us try some times of olive oil they had - there was a spicy once I loved but unfortunately we couldn't purchase it. At the end, we noticed a cover charge on the bill and asked about it - at which point the waitress got extremely irritated and told us - this is a cover charge, its normally for every food place in Italy, you have to pay it, there's nothing we can do about it. I'm aware of a cover charge but also aware that they are supposed to inform us about it - I told her as such and she pointed out the extremely fine print at the bottom of the back side of the menu. We were fine to pay it but didn't like how irritated she got and the deception of hiding the cover charge in fine print. Also just the overall rush with how they wanted us seated and wouldn't give us a minute to decide if we actually wanted to eat there or not. The food was really good but the service could have been much better. read more

Super good! This restaurant has so many options. From a cafe with healthy breakfast/brunch options, to lunch with charcuterie boards, pastas, etc, to a pizzeria! I got the vegetables pizza with tomato, mozzarella, eggplant, zucchini, olives, and mushrooms and it was SO GOOD. Also very reasonably priced (€10)! I got it to-go on my way home and it was ready in less than 10 minutes after ordering. The staff was super nice, friendly, and organized/efficient with takeaway orders. I would definitely try more of their pizzas as well as their full restaurant for pasta and other dishes! read more

Stopped into SimBIOsi on a late evening around 8-9 pm, was recommended to us by our hotel! Also, it was one of the few restaurants that wasnt booked up that we wanted to eat at. We were able to sit right away. Had a cute little table facing the street looking through some opened doors. They were out of the ravioli which was disappointing, but we tried some other dishes. Everything was made fresh to order and all their pasta was hand made. The stress fresh local ingredients and being environmentally Friendly! The food was good!! At the end of the meal they even gave us a little bag os pasta to try and make at home! read more

We stayed close by this cafe when staying in Florence and was our go-to spot for a quick cappuccino in the morning. They open at 8am and we were there most times right after they opened before heading off to tours or sightseeing. This was one of my favorite cappuccinos I had on the trip! They had an assortment of pastries that looked amazing. Great little cafe in Florence walking distance to the Duomo! read more

Not too happy. They should specify in their website menu as well as in the regular menu. I was looking for a pizza with figs and truffles which they have in the menu. Given that this is Florence, I was EXPECTING fresh fig fruit (not jam), and fresh truffles (not sauce). Needless to say I ordered a regular cheese pizza with the truffle sauce (oh well). The pizza was ok. I mean, compared to USA it was excellent. Compared to other places I have eaten in Perugia and Florence, it was underwhelming. Service was ok. I've been treated better with more attention at other places. read more

My wife asked for a large orange juice and my daughter for a small one. My wife got a slighter larger glass but was charged for two orange juices. When we mentioned that, we were told that there was no large orange juice on the menu -- however we got no warning. Given the size of the glasses, this looked like a mini scam. Irritating. Then, they also ask for a tip in front of the client. read more

The ambience was really next level. Wonderful atmosphere despite moderate pricing. Lots of options and everything truly delicious. Great diversity and fusion of food cultures. Highly recommend!! read more

This place looks good and busy as you walk by, and while the ambiance is certainly nice, save yourself some time and money because this place is not worth it. The portions are small, the pasta is hard (al dente has its limits), the sauce was oddly sweet (fantasia), and the service was a bit pushy and neglectful. I'm sure you can find a better restaurant close by. read more

An excellent multicourse meal here. Artisanal cheese for antipasto, pasta and risotto, and a vegetarian secondo, which is somewhat rare in Italy. I made the reservation earlier in the day with no problem. We arrived at 19:30 and were seated immediately. The atmosphere was very relaxed. The service was well paced. All of the food was excellent. the wine selection was great and reasonably priced. We had grappa to close the meal. All around excellent. read more

Our first dinner in Florence and it was delicious! Just doors down from our Airbnb and it was our good fortune to try because the organic pizza here was amazing! There were 7 of us and we tried 4 of their pizzas- so yummy! Our waitress was sweet and attentive. They checked on us a few times which showed great customer service. It isn't always easy seating a group as big as ours but we were very comfortable. If you're on Via de Ginori, I hope you stumble upon this restaurant, too! read more

This place was below average pizza. I didn't know it was one chain made of three different restaurants next to each other, one is a cafè, one is just for pizza, and the other is for pasta and meat. The service was fine but you can definitely get much better pizza in Florence for cheaper. read more

If you are looking for good specialty coffee and a calming unique atmosphere this is the perfect place. I used to live 1 min away and the was my daily place that if I didn't go for a day I felt off. The service is incredible, the staff are all so friendly and sweet regardless if you spoke English or Italian. This is a place you can easily spend hours for either a coffee, bite to eat, or a drink before dinner. I'm hoping to make my way back here again soon read more

This restaurant has two separate restaurants, same name - left side is pasta & more, right side is pizza. My friend & I decided to try the pasta side - the setup is one long community table and they seat everyone right next to each other. Fortunately we had a great time meeting two sets of female travelers on either side of us, and apparently what we ordered looked good b/c they ended up ordering the same thing! It was also nice b/c we learned a few interesting things from the ladies about Florence restaurants: 1. The complimentary bread isn't complimentary. They'll bring bread and charge for it even if you didn't order it. All the restaurants charge for bread :) They said to consider it as gratuity since you don't have to tip in Italy. 2. You must ask for the receipt. While servers in the US are usu. in a rush to get you out so they can make money from the next guest, not so here. Loved that they could care less if you just linger around. 3. Still water isn't complimentary. BREAD - €2.50 As mentioned earlier, each person is charged -- so we paid €5 for bread. Enjoy dipping your bread in their EVOO, balsamic vinegar and parmesan! PAPPARDELLE CON FAGGETA AL TARTUFO - €13.00 Fontina & truffle pappardelle. Very nice. My friend and I shared this pasta and the wild boar - definitely more enjoyable than eating just our own dishes. CINGHIALE IN SALSA - €13.00 Wild boar w/ Jerusalem artichokes & raisins. Our server recommended this dish - I forgot how many hours the wild boar is cooked but it was enough to entice us to order. Lots of meat so it complemented well w/ the pasta dish. Honestly couldn't taste the artichokes or raisins though. PATATE ARROSTO - €5.00 Their roasted potatoes were very good. ARANCIATA - €3.50 Haha "splurged" on orange soda since still water was €2.50 :) Unlike me, please order their wine! Overall while the food didn't wow me, it was still enjoyable. I think I enjoyed more the concept of the community table and getting to know the people sitting around us. Definitely want to try their pizza next time - smelled so good every single time we walked by and they have the impressive Neopolitan pizza oven too! read more

This is so strange. My husband and I had lunch at the SimBIOsi Pizza shop next door and couldn't be happier with the food and service, but this 'sister' restaurant--featuring pasta--was a mixed bag, and in the end, we wouldn't recommend the restaurant despite it's good food. We came in for lunch although my husband wasn't hungry yet, so he ordered only a beer while I ordered a glass of wine and the truffle pasta. When the waiter heard my husband say that he wasn't ordering food, he huffed and said fairly indignantly, "so you're just having a beer?" Correct. That's all he wanted at the moment. The pasta was absolutely scrumptious, as was the wine, and even the small basket of bread slices they gave complementary was delicious. The pasta was cooked to perfection, and had the perfect balance of salt to truffle oil so that the flavors really stood out. It was al dente without being crunchy, too. When we had paid, my husband in his usual cheerful mood said ' grazie!' To the waiter, who actually responded with a displeased grunt. There was no mistaking the waiter's attitude toward us for not ordering more food. We paid 30 euro for lunch, so I don't know what this guy's problem was. It's too bad, because we are staying across the narrow street and could easily have been repeat customers. read more

I loved the atmosphere here. We stopped in on a busy night but they found room for us at a community table. Our food was yummy--I had the steak and the most delicious roasted potatoes. I also love that they have the cafe, restaurant, and the pizzeria all in one spot! read more

Wonderful little pizza place in Florence. Our group of 8 was starving and it was about 2:30pm (Siesta time in Italy). We came across this place walking as the kids really wanted pizza. It has brick oven and pizza was insanely delicious. Adults also enjoyed it too. read more

I'll give this restaurant credit and say maybe we just had a bad service experience. So I know you're dying to know what happened as to why I would give this pretty restaurant 2 stars. Well folks, the meal took 3 HOURS. I get it. The service in Italy is different than in the states, but this was not even culturally appropriate because EVERYONE in our area was super PISSED because the service was so slow. The couple next to us seemed like they did the same meal course and literally told the waitress they didn't want the dessert because everything was taking too long. They were done and wanted to leave!! Another couple adjacent to us was so fed up the guy walked to the host and said he was done and wanted to pay. It's one thing to have a bad experience yourself but to see other people equally if not MORE UPSET leaves me with a 2 star review. Decided to get the 5 course pasta taster and was super excited by my choices. The food was VERY tasty- no doubt. The appetizer was a beautiful onion dish that was awesome and set me up for high expectations. The 3 pastas I chose were the boar (best one), eggplant (eh) and risotto (ok). The desert was awful. It was some sort of cheese foam. Not a fan. read more

I expected more from this place. My pizza was okay. We didn't realize my mom's pizza would come without cheese. I asked to pay for extra cheese on the side. They couldn't do it. The olives on her pizza also tasted burnt. read more

Just enjoyed some salads and a pizza at simBIOSi and I have to say that after 2 weeks in Italy this has to be the best pizza. We have had pizza in Rome, Lucca, Pisa, Siena and simBIOSi in Florence wins. Friendly staff, nice atmosphere and the pizza chef puts on a good show. To the nice young couple from NYC who sat beside us, we thank you and will pay it forward. read more

SimBIOsi is by far my favorite place for pizza in Florence. Each of their pizzas has a different and exciting flavor profile. My favorite is the 'nduja with the fresh burrata on top. I also really enjoy their pesto pizza which is an occasional special. The dough of the pizza fired in the oven creates a delicious taste and texture. I love to get the chili oil to drizzle over the crust. They also make amazing delicious desserts, and for the size and location the pizza is delicious and authentic read more

I have to admit that I have mixed feelings about simbiosi. The food offerings were good, lots of organic fare. The service (especially for Florence) is prompt and friendly. The restaurant is a little strange in one regard - as you enter the place you have to choose whether pasta or pizza - pasta in the restaurant to the left, pizza to the right - and they are divided by a wall. So I guess if Mrs G wanted pizza and I wanted pasta we would have to dine separately. But whatever At least on the pasta side it is essentially one long table, so as a couple you are sitting next to strangers. No problemo - most seemed to be English speaking - one racist older American couple who visibly were repulsed to be sitting near an interracial couple having fun with a young black couple sitting next to us (5 stars for the gorgeous couple :) ). So that can be risky but we had fun. I would give 4 stars overall (1 knocked off for the pizza/pasta divide) but I was almost tempted to only give 2 stars - why? Because of the disgusting sanitary situation in the bathroom(s). I leave at 3 because everything else is so good About the bathrooms - there is only one in each restaurant (M and W share - bad start!). Then (as is common in Florence for goodness sake) no seat on the toilet bowel!! So ladies - how does that work for you! The one I visited was so messy I can't post a pic, but Mrs G could not (rightly) use it. She tried the one on the pizza side - equally bad she says. Now that makes me think of watching the chefs in the open kitchen putting the finishing touches to my food with their bare hands. Where do they wash their hands??? Hopefully they have separate bathrooms just for them (I hope so!!!). Made me nervous I must say - but that was after I had eaten. Firenze- time to clean up your act - or at least your toilets!!! read more

NOT WORTH IT! it is such a beautiful cafe with a nice environment. I got a pot of herbal tea and they charged me 5 euro for it. That price is quite insane! Considering when other nice cafes have caffè americano for 1.50 euro. I felt robbed and will not be coming back. But once again such a beautiful atmosphere. I suggest vintage cafe as a cheaper nice alternative. read more

SimBIOsi did not disappoint. This restaurant represents a creative and satisfying balance of modern and classic. The menu features typical Florentine dishes such as pappa pomodoro, and contemporary twists on common Italian dishes-- pizzas and pastas, all enjoyed in a unique and stylish setting. The drink menu offered an eclectic, curated collection of both wines and beers. We ordered two pizzas, a spicy salami and a pesto special. The crust was thicker than most pizzas offered in Florence, but I found it perfectly doughy. The fresh sausage on the spicy salami was delicious and not too salty. The pesto special featured a creative blend of flavors, pesto, mozzarella, pistachios, and sun dried tomatoes. read more

If your in Florence make this a must on your dining list. They have a Pizza place and a Pasta and Wine place right next to each other. We ate at the Pasta and Wine restaurant and like many of our meals in Italy we have to say THIS was the best one! The ambiance is alive, it's on a great street with other restaurants and the food is amazing. We had the Parpardelle with Wild Boar sauce and the Macaroni with broccoli and sausage. I have never had Wild Boar before but it was delicious! They use organic ingredients and they do a great job pairing everything together. We are trying the pizza portion of the restaurant tomorrow for lunch! Additionally the pricing was very reasonable. read more
