    Florence steak
    Ana R.

    This was my first stop when visiting Florence for the first time and it did not disappoint. We got a sampler platter as an appetizer to feed 6 people and it was gone within minutes. The pâté is mind blowing and recommend to anyone who has not had it before. The pastas were great and you can really tell that those noodles are home made and perfectly Al dente. Now for the Florentine steak. It was our second course and even though on the menu it says it feeds 2 people it fed a whole group of 6 and there were still leftovers. This portion is HUGE and delicious. It was priced at $100, but split between 6 it really was worth it. The service was great despite several tables being served. Highly recommend you check this neighborhood joint out!

    Florence Steak - Medium
    John M.

    Hearing that steaks were all the rage in Florence, I knew that I had to try it somewhere and decided here after seeing many positive reviews. They definitely did not disappoint! We got the Florence Steak cooked medium and although it came out a little rare, it was still very delicious. We got two steaks for a family of 5 and it was more than enough. One of them was leaner than the other, with the fattier steak being a bit more enjoyable personally. This was easily one of the best steaks that I have ever had and I can only recommend others to give it a try! The service was very friendly and welcoming, recommending us other dishes to try to pair along with the steak. The ambiance was also beautiful, being seated at an outdoor patio with lots of foliage. Come here if you are looking for great food and a great time!

    Tiramisú
    Leslie R.

    This place was really good! Reservations online were really easy to make. The pasta tasted handmade in the carbonara. Wait staff were friendly and the food came out quickly. The tiramisu here was soo good. Definitely our #1 pick in Florence.

    Gnocchi w/ Porcini, Speck & Brie
    Dimitri N.

    Delicious food, terrific staff and great ambience. I ordered the Gnocchi with Porcini mushrooms, Speck and Brie and it was absolutely amazing. Soft and pillowy as gnocchi should be. The Bruschetta sampler was really nice too. My favorites were the classic tomato and the pear, Burrata, walnuts and honey. Highly recommend this place!! Great prices too.

    the Pici alla Senese (Pici with PGI Guanciale, fresh tomato and burrata).
    Maggi R.

    What a charming and welcoming restaurant we chose last night for our dinner. We had made a reservation for an early dinner and were warmly greeted by Jo and seated. We decided to share an appetizer and a first course and each have our own entrée. We started with the Dolce Burrata (Burrata crostone, pears, walnuts and honey) and then the Pici alla Senese (Pici with PGI Guanciale, fresh tomato and burrata). Both were yummy. We both heard the Chef Filets calling our names. The very large beef fillet with brandy in a Gorgonzola cream sauce with toasted walnuts was prepared perfectly. For a sweet ending, my husband had the homemade Tiramisu.

    Rigatoni in meat sauce, spinach, tordelli with pancetta and parmigiana.
    Tom N.

    Absolutely fabulous food, wonderful service, beautiful terrace for eating. We stumbled into this neighborhood eatery going from the Boboli gardens to the Ponte Vecchio. Wonderful find.

    Pici all' senese. Some of the best noodles I have had! Also their best seller.
    Sam S.

    Great service, amazing food, the best vibe! Come eat here!! I have been here multiple times and it never disappoints. Pici all' senese is my all time favorite. Bruschetta and pear & cheese appetizer are delicious.

    Tenderloin steak
    Laura B.

    The environment was good and the food was great. A little under salt - which seems to be typical in Italy in genera. But overall really recommend. I would give it 4.5 stars!

    Rigatoni with meat sauce
    Matthew H.

    Trattoria Boboli has some of the best pasta that I have ever eaten. The rigatoni was outstanding. Also, definitely order a glass of wine, whether it be Pinot Grigio or Sangiovese. And, do not sleep on the appetizers here. The mozzarella, tomato, and eggplant dish with pesto was fantastic.

    Pizza Napoli. 8 €8. Amazing.
    Tim M.

    This is exactly what you want when you are visiting Italy. Doesn't be fooled by its off the beaten path location. It's a five minute walk from the Ponte Vecchio. In a lovely neighborhood where my wife and I have stayed over the last 20 years of visiting Florence. The food is spot on and the service is lovely. Check in on yelp and get free limoncello! Saluté!

    Nicole C.

    Definitely one of the best, most underrated restaurants in Florence! I frequented here when I studied abroad and the staff was always very friendly to my friends and I. They all spoke english and even helped us with our Italian pronunciations! Order the Tri Color Gnocchi and you won't be disappointed. Although you can't really go wrong with anything on the menu. Great ambiance too. See if you can sit in the outside garden.

    Chefs menu!!!!
    Kendra T.

    To start, just walking from the city centre to this hidden gem is amazing. Check our Langolino or one of the other many little bars on the way. You will also encounter so many little art shops and lovely spaces. The restaurant is so unassuming. we asked to be seated in the garden which is three levels of little nooks where people are eating. We sat down to the chefs menu and the regular, but I would recommend you ask the server for their suggestions. The pasta was magnificent and the cod was incredible. Caprese salad!!!!! And if you mention yelp, you will get a sweet treat at the end. I will definitely be back.

    Pasta, fresh bread, and roasted potatoes. Carbs don't count in Italy.

It's close enough to the lively, bustling part of Firenze to feel connected, yet just far enough to escape the city's never-ending wave of tourists. The service was incredible, and the owner (I'm pretty sure it was the owner?) brought so much energy that he single-handedly turned the whole place into an eclectic little spot during the "rush hour" of the evening. The menu was solid, if a bit "generic" at times. While everything we ordered was delicious, nothing at Trattoria Giovanni felt like a dish you couldn't find elsewhere... and honestly, that's perfectly fine! It was traditional, comforting, and exactly what we were craving. The plate of cured meats and cheese was phenomenal, a great start to the meal. The pastas were really good as well, though one of the meat dishes had a slightly off texture, with the chunks of meat a bit overcooked. All in all, we loved our meal and would definitely recommend this spot if you're in 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.

Were ordered a bottle of Chianti Classico to start, as well as a few pastas plus the steak and cod. I can safely say the spaghetti pomodoro with burrata was the best pasta dish I've had in Italy - the pasta was perfectly cooked and the cherry tomatoes was so sweet, the kind of thing that reminds you why you came to Italy in the first place. Overall: great service, great atmosphere, and fantastic food. Just be sure to make a reservation!!

We spent three days in Florence and ate here twice, and cut our tour of the Acedemia out of our schedule to make sure we could make it for lunch before heading on to Rome, that's how awesome the food was! The people running the restaurant are so amazing, they truly treat you like family while you are there. They were always attentive, but never lingering. Unlike restaurants in the US where you are expected to eat and leave as soon as possible, in Italy food is mean to be enjoyed over conversation and camaraderie, which means unless you wave someone over or your glasses are empty you are left to enjoy yourselves. Osteria Santo Spirito is no exception to this rule. You'll be warmly greeted and well cared for but never hovered over. You will absolutely want to make a reservation, a wait for a table inside can take a bit to get if you just plan to stroll in off the street, but the seating outside is just as beautiful and a bit more plentiful.

The vibe itself is cool (automatic door walking in, dungeon-like walls with cute decorations). Walking to your table you walk by a huge wine selection, which can be overwhelming. We started with the asparagus and peas salad. This was pretty solid, simple but it worked. We grabbed the spaghetti with the cream of asparagus-normally wouldn't order so much asparagus but this was the pasta that sounded the most interesting to us and we did ultimately end up enjoying the sauce quite a bit and it was one of the better pasta dishes we had in Italy. Got a side of the white beans which we probably didn't need but didn't mind. The steak: first of all it's very sizable. The Florentine way is rarer than I would ever order a steak and while I'm glad I tried it, I probably wouldn't choose it again. It's an interesting ordering process as you're essentially given the sizes they have left there for the night so you never know walking exactly how much you'll pay. I do appreciate that they cut it for you but I did feel like some of the meat was still on the bone (not that we really needed MORE meat I just didn't want to waste any). The flavoring is pretty good but there are definitely bites that are better than the others. The service was a bit mixed. There were times they were interested in talking with us while others they didn't seem so interested and a bit aloof. This was especially true when we went to check out. Ultimately, served its purpose in introducing us to a style of steak we hadn't had before and did so in a way that we enjoyed.

This was incredible - just melt in your mouth. You have to get this! *Ravioli di Peposo di Manzo al Burro e Timo (Ravioli Stuffed with Stewed Peppered Beef and Tossed in Butter and Thyme) - Peposo is a classic Tuscan dish that's usually tough cuts of meat cooked down in Chianti wine. Loved this 'twist' on a classic dish. They also so kindly split this portion for us which was perfect. The Peposo was perfection; if they just had Peposo as a dish, I'd order it! *Bistecca dell'Osteria (House Specialty Bone In Steak) - the star of the show!! While this isn't Chianni cattle or anything, this was fantastic piece of steak. Perfectly executed at medium rare. Love that the menu states "If you prefer your meat more so well done we would be happy to recommend another dish to you." Ha. Make sure you order a BOTTLE of wine! They have GREAT local options at super reasonable price points.
