After a busy day of shopping, Florence near santo spirito it was close to the afternoon closing time for many trattorias but Borgo antico was lively and welcomed me onto the beautiful patio area looking right at the main church. I was searching for something different than pizza and pasta and their risotto with the smoked cheese and zucchini was the creamiest most delicious comfort food I had had in Italy. I dream of this dish being back home in the states and wanted to memorize this restaurant by adding a review so I can return someday! It was a wonderful visit from the Apperal spritz to the fresh olives and bread and ending with the risotto. read more

Came here for drinks with my dad. Got a table pretty quickly. Sat there for some time and no one came to take order. I understand in Europe you have to wave someone down to get service so we tried this and the guy who sat us refused to acknowledge us. Another waitress tried getting him to take our order but he ignored so she had to come and take our order. This same waiter went to other newly seated guests immediately without him having to be called upon. Most likely cause my dad is Asian and I am brown. Quite racist read more

My first meal was the best. A giant Steak Florentine with Beans right on the Plaza of the Holy Spirit. Who could ask for better ambiance. The food was amazing. A fantastic steak, at the most reasonable price in town... I learned later. I also discovered Burello, which made for a perfect pairing. Service was friendly and inviting. They had some issues getting my dish out once they got busy. However once they realized it they made it right. The folks here have my best recommendations which means Ill make it back here next time I visit read more

An unforgettable dining experience at Trattoria Borgo Antico! The food was absolutely delicious, and the peaceful, charming atmosphere made our lunch even more special. The owner personally came over to greet us, and we had a lovely conversation about his love for California, where we're visiting from. Such genuine hospitality and a wonderful experience from start to finish. Highly recommend! read more

Outstanding pizza and truly extraordinary calzone that they made for me without ham. Generous portions at very reasonable prices for excellent food read more

Recommended by our AirBnb host. Was loud and crowded. Wive's vegan burger was average. Avacado toast with truffle appeared to have avocado from a jar or can. Sliced hard boiled egg rather than a fried egg and truffle was not fresh shaved. Probably from a jar. Not good. Buffalo mozzarella pizza was good, as were the spritzes, but those are hard to mess up. Very average experience. Would not recommend for any meal in Italy. read more

A nice place for an outdoor meal. There are plenty of restaurants around this square, but this one was recommended to us so we decided to give it a try. It was pretty busy, but we were seated right away. My pistachio gnocchi was very good and the service was fine. We wouldn't necessarily recommend it to anyone, but overall we had a positive experience. read more

Actually so disappointing. Bread served at the beginning is thick and stale. Pizza was watery and the sauce was average. Waiters were rushing us and it was not comfortable or relaxing. read more

This spot was fine. Nice location on the piazza, peaceful with a nice view of the church while shaded by trees and the overhang. My wife and I split a salad and a pizza. The salad was good, but admittedly tough to mess up putting lettuce, nuts, and fruits in a bowl with olive oil. The pizza was kinda the same story. It was good - better than the salad - but also tough to mess up. I did like the combo of the salami and aubergine. I would be happy getting either dish again, but I wouldn't necessarily seek out returning to the restaurant as it was just fine, nothing special read more

The food is okay. This place is all for tourist and not very authentic. I had the Buffalo mozzarella pizza and the crust was not cooked at all on the bottom. The wild boar dish lacked flavor and was bland, you could tell it was thrown together quickly as the flavors had no time to develop. Nice servers but better places to go in Florence. read more

Probably the worst pizza I've ever had in my life. The sad soggy mess was under-cooked in the centre and charred black on the edges. The only thing positive I can say is that the waitress was very nice. Even the surroundings were horrible. Although the patio faces a little piazza with a fountain and trees, the ground was littered with garbage. A noisy street cleaning truck circled the square the entire time we were there. It passed within feet of our cafe table multiple times and we couldn't even hear each other speak. Ironically, the street did not look any cleaner when we left. This was the only place in our two weeks in Italy that was sub par. But it was memorable in it's level of badness. read more

The food was amazing! The service very good. Excellent ambiance for a night out with friends or only with your significant other.

I realized I never reviewed this place and hastily rushed to this business to leave a review!!! Because this place is seriously one of my favorite spots in Florence. I think I came here so many times that I just assumed after one of the times that I'd leave a review (whoops)! I take my aperol spritz very seriously folks...and when I say this place has the best spritz...I MEAN IT!!! I dream about their spritz every day. I'd come back to Florence just to have their spritz. I don't know what they do to it but...my god. I also love their penne red sauce/pesto dish. Who would have thought red sauce and pesto could be mixed together??? Not me but I've been doing it ever since lol. I highly recommend sitting outside in the piazza and enjoying one of their spritz, some pasta, or a pitcher of wine. I wish I could go back and do it one more time. But who am I kidding...I'll definitely be back and you can bet I'll be SPRINTING from the airport to get here hahaha! read more

Great food! And we had to wait about 5 minutes for our table because they were busy and they gave us free champagne, something you would never see in the United States. I thought that was really nice. read more

The Santo Spirito district of Florence is suppose to be where the locals eat as advertised by the person who checked us in at our hotel. It was very fortunate because that was exactly what we wanted since we want to taste the real Florentine (or Tuscan, not really sure what the term to use) dishes. We tried to avoid the tourist traps on our journey as much as possible and this was not the case. I got the pappardelle with wild boar ragu, while my GF got a pizza. She said that she wanted to compare the pizza from different places. Good thing too so that I can compare also :) . Anyway, I can tell right away that the pappardelle was different from what I am used to eating. The noodle was al dente and have the best texture and "gumminess" that I have tasted. If I have to guess, their noodle was freshly made. I think this noodle ruined me. It raised my standard for pasta. So, I think after this trip, my ratings for Italian restaurant in the US will now have a higher bar to overcome. As for the wild boar ragu, the meat was tender with that hint of complex tomato sauce that was not overpowering. The taste was something I have not tasted before. I do not think it is something that I can closely replicate, and I am pessimistic that I would not taste something close like this back home. It was like a pulled pork on pappardelle except the flavor of the pork was sophisticated and complex. The flavor was completely balanced. It was so delicious that I devoured it like a wild boar. As for the pizza, I think that the pizza here is not as great compared to what we have eaten at other places. She ordered anchovies with capers in which I think it was very salty for my taste. However, it is top notch compared to most pizza places back home. My only complain was the cover charge, but most of the restaurant in Italy that we ate at have some sort of cover charge. Also, even though I am raving the food here, it is nothing compare to the other places where we ate. But, you have to try this place regardless, only if you tried the other places. read more

Right in the heart of the Palazzo Pitti where you can enter the Renaissance Church without any lines!!! Absolutely amazing...Go and treat yourself. Ciao! read more

Found this restaurant through an Italian website that indicated it would always be busy with locals and tourists. They were completely correct. I was nervous there would be a long wait with how busy they were when we walked up, but they seated us outside (our choice) immediately. The patio was a bit tight but comfortable with heaters, umbrellas, and blankets provided for added warmth. We dined here for dinner and it was a bit chilly outside (40 degrees Fahrenheit in March after dark) but I didn't feel cold at all. The service was great--the menu provided Italian and English descriptions of the food. They provide house-made bread and olives when you are seated--a nice touch. The olives were delicious and prompted me to order olives on my pizza! We ordered one pizza each and it was filling. The pizza crust was light and the toppings were delicious. Make sure to ask for the spicy oil to add to your pizza! read more

The food was amazing! We for the chicken and vegetables and the spicy pasta and it was perfection. Ahmed was a great server!

I had the ravioli, tiramisu, and donut balls. It was delicious. Sat outside and the service was great.

My family and I ate here 3 times during our recent trip to Firenze. Great outdoor seating and a glass of Prosecco while you wait. The linguine vongole is delicious!! Their pizzas and Greek salad were amazing! The feta cheese was so delicious! The house wine was excellent as well! The service was wonderful too! read more

This place was convenient to me and seemed popular. It has a lot of tourists. Food was okay but service was way off. It was very impersonal, rushed, and I left feeling like it was just a big factory, get 'em in and out. One other thing to mention, that I did not experience anywhere else, was the bread seemed a bit dry and not the freshest also the olives tasted like black canned olives. That's a shame. There are so many other better options in Florence with friendly personable staff, amazingly delicious food and better ambiance. This will be a hard pass for me in the future. read more

This place was a perfect place for a delightful lunch. We traveled from Venice to Florence, so we were pretty hungry. When we walked through the street this restaurant caught our eyes. It was fairly crowded and it had a beautiful view of the bustling street, so we decided to give this place a try which was an awesome choice because the food was amazing and the service was great. When we were seated they gave us a delicious bread with red pepper olives. The bread the the olives were a perfect combination. I ordered their pesto penne pasta. This was so delicious. I have to say that I am not a fan of pasta, but of course I have to try pasta in Italy, so I ordered this dish. Now I know why people love pasta. The noodles were cooked perfectly and the sauce was simple and flavorful. My sister ordered the queen salad which was kind of small, but worth it. It was fresh and the vegetables were crisp and the salad was dressed perfectly. We ordered a bottle of white wine to top the meal. With the view, food, and drinks I was happy and content at the end of our meal. I would recommend this place if you're looking for delicious food away from the touristy sections of town! read more

This spot was recommended by a local to us. It was less touristy that some spots on the other side of the river. We enjoyed sitting outside.
