    Cappuccino
    Paul K.

    As one of our first meals in a wonderful epicurean food city that Firenze is, we had to try Pappardelle Pasta with Wild Boar Ragu. We chose Trattoria Buzzino for this specialty and it was worth it. While I had the above-mentioned dish, my dining companions had Uovo al Pomodoro and the Pici (Carbonara?). Along with a few glasses of Chianti, a couple of cappuccinos and a Bruschetta appetizer we had a great meal. The staff here seemed to be a husband and wife team and were very congenial and helpful. The wall decor had older menus framed from long ago. Apparently there has been one form of Buzzino around since 1844! There is a lot of character in Trattoria Buzzino with great staff and food. I will return one day.

    This was probably my favorite restaurant while visiting Rome/Florence. Small quaint spot near Uffizi, a few small tables outside and can probably fit 30 max inside. The (what I'd presume to be) owner was welcoming and while confused, didn't fully say no to me when I asked for tiramisu immediately before dinner as I simply needed it. It was awesome, creamier on top which I enjoyed and espresso plentiful. I got the "chicken nuggets" with lemon and spinach (lemon chicken breasts) which was well seasoned and tasted a perfect balance of lemon (almost a lemon cream sauce). My two friends split the florentine steak which they devoured (and loved). Felt very authentic here, staff rocked, would certainly return.

    Limoncello Spritz!
    Rick L.

    Early evening is all about the spritz in Italy as we learned on our 2 week vacation there. The most famous one is the Aperol Spritz with prosecco, club soda, and Aperol liquor which is a uniquely flavored orange liquor with gentian, rhubarb, and cinchona (among other ingredients.) We had several of these before wandering by Trattoria Buzzino one day and saw the words "Limoncello Spritz" handwritten on the chalkboard menu. Hold on now...we can combine our favorite Italian after-dinner aperitif, with our new favorite before-dinner spritz habit? Count us in! We came here just for the Limoncello Spritz (which we learned later is a little more pervasive throughout Italy than we realized...we even had a meloncello spritz in one place!) and loved the experience. Buzzino sits on a main-ish street (Does the center of Florence even have main streets?) on the way from the train station, by the Dumo, close to the river. It's been there since 1844! Despite it's central location it doesn't look or feel touristy at all. Had we come for a meal, having observed what was delivered to the tables near us, we would have been treated to fantastic-looking Tuscan dishes. Trattoria Buzzino is a not-so-hidden, not exactly off the beaten path, but easily unnoticeable historic gem. Well worth a stop.

    Picture with the owner!!

    Delicious food. Amazing staff who are so kind and generous want to share their culture. There even was an opera singer!! Such wonderful vibes in there and I highly recommend. Definitely check it out

    Filletto Di Manzo Al Pepe Verde e Spinaci (Beef Tenderloin with Green Pepper and spinach). This steak was amazing!
    Samuel B.

    We stopped by for drinks and stayed for dinner! It was freaking amazing! The beef tenderloin filet with green pepper sauce was so delicious!

    We had great service, food, and wine. It was amazing. Alessandro took care of us and brought us his own hand picked menu.

    Stewed tomato with eggs, steak, spinach, roasted potato and 1/2 carafe of vino. Yum!

    Wonderful place to eat like a local! Simple dishes with loads of flavor. Get the steak. The charcuterie for 2 is huge! All the sides are wonderful, great if you are gluten free. Service was excellent and the location just enough off the square so you can take a break from the action. We are on the late side 9:30 and the place was packed.

    Limoncello

    This was definitely a surprise. Recommended my a local, it is just outside the busy tourist plaza in Florence. Everything is made in house, from the pasta to the desserts. Everything tasted amazing. One of the best Lasagnas I have ever tasted. Very affordable dishes, but top notch quality. Best bang for your buck in Florence. When I return next year, this will be my first pit stop.

    Aperol Spritz
    Marina M.

    Our tour guide, Natalia, recommended this place for its food and prices. It's centrally located and has a few tables outside, but we sat inside by the front left window to cool off from the intense August heat. Pasta is all made fresh in-house and was cooked al dente. Daily special octopus dish was cooked to perfection - not rubbery at all. Black truffle pasta was much more flavorful than the one I ate in Siena a few days ago. Panna cotta had a hint of lemon to it which was interesting but it worked well with the mixed berries sauce (alternative options were chocolate or caramel sauce). Everything was great! If I had one suggest for improvement, it would have been the bread brought to the table before the meal... we expected it to be crustier and crunchy, like the other bread we have eaten so far during our trip. All in all, we recommend this restaurant for its great food and fair prices. We would come back!

    Another excellent spot we tried in Florence. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and seated…read moreimmediately. The staff was very friendly and our waiter was Nugo. He was awesome and had us laughing the entire night. We peppered him with a lot of questions about the menu, he answered everything and also accommodated my father-in-law, who is GF. He had his own GF bread basket and was able to order almost anything on the menu. We ordered a nice bottle of Montepulciano red for the table that was $48. Others had the Hugo spritz. For app I had the anchovies with roasted red pepper, sea salt and oil over grilled crostini, very good. I skipped first course and ordered the ribeye steak for my main course. Bone in, medium rare, sprinkled with sea salt and a side of onion marmalade. The steak was very good and had way less fat than I expected. The waiter suggested a huge steak for the table, but I was the only one ordering steak that night. Maybe next time. Others ordered the fillet and it was cooked perfectly, the angels and demons gnocchi, and the veal scallopini. Everybody was pleased Really cool spot with a very good wine selection, drinks, excellent food and a fun atmosphere that you don't find at many places. Nugo was an A+ server.

    Fyi there are two locations, make sure you go to the correct one (only two blocks apart)…read more Wonderful, laid back but inviting ambiance. Waiter was super friendly, taking time to explain their wines in detail and food options. They even have a kids menu with sizeable portions for older kids. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meal, and it was definitely the best wine we had with meals in Florence. Gnocchi and wild boar taglietelle were outstanding. Had we had come earlier in our stay we might have come back again They also do a wine window which I wish I'd known about earlier because the other one we tried for fun was not good

    This review is long overdue for our visit back in November of 2024. I was looking up Nduja recipe…read moreand reminded myself this was the place that initiated my love for Nduja sauce. American/Aussie owned bakery brunch spot by the river, such a cute little eatery. We loved our visit and though it's definitely more of a touristy spot, as most customers spoke English, the food was delicious to forgo the tourist trappy vibes. We shared a plate and added some items as we didn't want to get too stuffed on our first day of Florence. We had the Nduja Eggs plate with bacon and avocado added. Nduja is a spicy Calabrian pepper spreadable pork sauce, and oh boy was it so flavorful. If I remembered correctly, Melaleuca spread this sauce on top of a fried bread and eggs. I don't see it on the menu at the moment and it's probably a rotatable dish... but it definitely kicked started my hunt for the sauce. Since this is a spreadable pork, it's not something I could bring back to the US but I was able to find it online back home. The service was amazing and the beverages were delicious. Like many Italian places, the dining room is small and bathroom is a single small room that might require a small wait if they're busy. Didn't get to try their baked goods this last time, but definitely on our list to go back for more when we're back to Florence for a visit.

We were getting ready to pay the bill and leave, when the owner noticed that I have not eaten the meatballs. This man who spoke English, insisted on wanting to know what was wrong with the meatballs, I said I do no eat raw/bloody uncooked meatballs. He started raising his voice very loud and stated that "that's the way they like the meatballs there and they have done it the same way over 100 years. FLINSTONES ERA!!! Other customers look scared at him yelling at us, which was a totally unacceptable behavior from this man. I stated, 'that was my preference to eat fully cook ground meat,". He continued raising his voice at all of us and said, he does not take the price off the dish off the bill, no matter what. Which we did not even ask for. Obviously, his only concern was the money, rather than offer to cook the meatballs until fully cooked and to behave in a professional and respectful manner, since he chooses to serve customers from all over the world where customer service skills are absolutely necessary and his behavior was unacceptable.
