Rustic atmosphere near the central market. Our waiter was lovely and spent a lot of time chatting with us. He was kind enough to decant the brunello we ordered so that it could open up. The zucchini blossoms were heavily battered and not stuffed with cheese. The mixed salami and chicken liver crostini were OK. The mixed salad was OK. The tagliatelle with meat sauce was good. The lasagna was Ok. The prices were inexpensive. Inexpensive cheerful restaurant near the central market. read more

The Pici pasta was a new shape that I've never tried before and I really enjoyed how thick the noodle was. The sauce was so delicious with strong garlic flavor. The tomato bread soup stood out as the favorite dish of the night. It was so unique, rich, and the ultimate comfort food after a long day of sightseeing around Florence. read more

This restaurant is located directly across from the Mercato Centrale and my hotel which made it convenient for dinner last week. It has indoor and enclosed outdoor seating which lets you people watch as you are dining. Being in Florence and knowing that one of Tuscany's most popular food entrees is Bistecca alla Florentina, I ordered that for my meal along with a contorni of fagioli all'uccelletto. In the US we would call this meal a steak with a side of beans. T-bone steak that is and this steak was very thick and cooked medium rare as suggested. I rarely eat steak but once in a while I indulge and this was the right time to do that. Yes it was a lot of meat and yes it was tasty. I almost finished it and the baked white beans were delicious too. This meal wasn't cheap because of the super large steak (Texas size) but it was an enjoyable experience that satisfied my red meat fix for the next few days at least. Also, the Chianti Classico wine paired well with this meal. My English speaking waiter was prompt and professional and I would be happy to return to try one of their pasta dishes. read more

This was my favorite find in Florence! Lots of gluten free options that were so delicious you didn't even know they were gluten free. My family was so happy we stopped here. Wine by the carafe is very cheap so be sure to order it that way to save serious money. It was great to eat in the piazza but have a glass covering to separate us. The service was fantastic and the price overall was not bad, if you want good food and service in Firenze- eat here ! read more

My favorite dinner I've had in my three weeks in Florence! My partner and I have visited thrice for the laid back, rustic atmosphere, decanted wine, and bright, flavorful food. The servers were friendly--and just attentive enough without being too overbearing. I ordered the gnocchi, which I enjoyed so much I haven't yet ordered any other entree on the menu! My partner loved the wild boar and the beef. Don't skip the Tiramisu! All around a wholly satisfying dining experience. read more

The BEST Ceasar Salad we've had and the Pear Ravioli. Honestly the food is amazing but the owners/managers and staff make the experience. 5 stars all the way! If you're visiting Florence you should give this place a visit. read more

This was one of our more memorable meals. The staff was lovely and so accommodating when we showed up without a reservation. The restaurant is also super charming inside. I was given a gluten free menu and from there we tried the pizza and the gnocchi. My husband also had a lovely gluten pasta dish. All delicious. What really wowed us were the desserts! Save room. The tiramisu was light and airy with just the right amount of coffee and sweetness. The ricotta filled cake tasted like an Italian hug. SO good. How are these gluten free?! Best of all- we were able to order and pay in a timely manner. Not always the case on Florence! Definitely something you learn to appreciate when traveling with a small child. Highly recommend. You can't go wrong here. read more

Trattoria da Garibardi - Fettuccine Truffle - Tuscan Near Me - Florence, FI

I had the thin fettuccini with truffle sauce (taglierini al tartufo) and Grandma Tina's meatballs (Polpettine della nonna Tina). This was the best meal we had in restaurants in Italy over 12 days between Venice, Florence, and Rome. The ONLY meal that beat Garibardi's was a private cooking class for my wife and I with a retired Michelin starred chef. Garibardi's fettuccini with truffle sauce was so good, we ordered the same meal in other restaurants/cities over the many days in Italy and none came close. We went middle of the week in late October at 6 pm and didn't need a reservation. read more

Not child friendly...actually not friendly at all! They were about to seat us until they found out we had a child..they mumbled no bambino as if I didn't understand, then RUDELY told us no availability now and we should have called to make a reservation! The rude lil boy working there was very offensive/disrespectful and needs some discipline. Don't waste your time going here. read more

Trattoria Za Za is clearly a popular choice. Nonetheless, we didn't feel like waiting to get a table and we instead walked into Trattoria da Garibaldi. To our delight, the food was very nice and the service was outstanding. Marco, the server, was incredibly kind and he also made sure we left with a little souvenir to remember our evening. read more

One of the best meals of my life. We ate here after a day of exploring Florence in January. The gluten free menu is absolutely fabulous - I had the ravioli and I was so good I wanted to cry. And I got to have gluten free meatballs too! Amazing. The three soups were fantastic, and we loved the wine that we had. All of our family of 5 - including the teenagers - enjoyed this place thoroughly - a great place for our last meal on our Italian adventure. Highly recommended! read more

Loved everything about Trattoria da Garibardi! We appreciate the extra care and attention they put into addressing people with food allergies. My boys who have the combo allergies of gluten, eggs, and nuts really enjoyed their meal at Garibardi and asked to come back again! Unfortunately, we were only in Florence for one day so we were only able to go once but we loved every minute of it! Great service and super cute outdoor seating! read more

Lunch here. Fast service and delicious pasta. Wine pours are legit. Went with 5 people including an 11 yr old boy and they can totally accommodate kids. Highly recommend in Florence for lunch. read more

Everything was great! Beautiful local restaurant with excellent food and friendly staff and owner.

What an amazing find. Was going to try other restaurant but they had a queue so we tried this one instead and were super impressed. The service was great, the waitress was friendly and always had a smile. The food was the best pasta I have had to date in Italy. We both had the ravioli with pears and balsamic. It was that good we went back again the next night. read more

Food/Drink: Came here for a spritz in the middle of the afternoon in an attempt to cool off. It wasn't the best spritz I had, the flavor tasted kind of artificial which was tipped off by the unnatural orange glow the drink was giving off. We came here because we wanted a spritz for cheap but what we got wasn't worth in the end. Price: For a small it was 3.50 euros, for a large it's 6 euros. We got the small. Atmosphere: Sat on the patio with small fans blowing. Wait staff was nice and friendly, attended to our needs right away! Tips: Pay at the register instead of waiting for them to come to you. read more

I'm pretty sure I just ate the biggest steak on the planet. Over 2 pounds of T-Bone split with the wife and I have the meat sweats. The bistecca Florentine is a must in Florence. And if you get it prepared the way the locals do, it is still kicking when it hits your table. It has some fat ( show me a big steak that doesn't) but is prepared perfectly. There are no condiments on the table or needed and I am pretty sure you would be shot on site if you ask for A-1. Order the steak. Avoid an appetizer as you seriously do not have room. God help you if you do. Order the beans as the side dish. Eat them all. You will never find beans like this in the States and will never forgive yourself if you don't eat them. Don't pretend to be anything but American. I think mostly locals dine here and we did get the stare down when we walked in. I wasn't wearing my trucker hat with the eagle on it so I think they just know, and maybe don't care for, visitors. Service was still fairly attentive but not in a Disneyland sort of way. Like everywhere in Italy be prepared to buy your water and pay pretty well for it. You are better off putting that towards some great wine or a good beer. read more

Gluten free friends, this is THE place! Even if you can find a lot of gluten free alternatives in Florence, this restaurant has it all. Yes pizza (with nice and crispy dough), yes pasta, yes antipasti and yes tiramisu. They have a special menu for people who are intolerant to gluten and you have a lot of choices in it :) Plus the area is very lovely, next to the San Lorenzo Market, a little bit away from the very center. Just a little warning. Take a pizza there only if you're a cheese lover like I am, because they're really not greedy on cheese ;) read more

Trattoria da Garibardi - Linguine with clams and carbonara - Tuscan Near Me - Florence, FI

Food was good. Service was not. So far Florence is snob central. Our server didn't speak much English...which is FINE. In fact, we like when a server speaks only Italian...we think it's more authentic and we feel like, if it's how they're comfortable...great. Except our server was just not nice. Made fun of my wife at how she pronounced the wine. Was short with us. And then, when we received the bill, seemed very confused about putting a tip on the total (something you have to do in Italy if paying by credit card). Looked at us confused, even when we said "una mancia" in Italian. And after giving a 30% tip, said nothing and seems annoyed at us. So far Florence is good for one thing: the Duomo. The people are snobs and unpleasant. See the Duomo, and move on. read more

We had dinner here. This place fills up quickly so get there early. One of many good restaurants in the area. Choice of outdoor and indoor seating. If you choose to seat outside, you can ask to slide the glass door partition from smell of smokes getting indoor. I have to say Italians do love to smoke! Other than that, we both enjoy our italian dishes and wine. read more

Came here based on the recommendation of my airbnb as a decent alternative to the popular Zaza. It's a good option for gluten-free (even their pizza is gluten-free). But I regret coming here because of the price and the food. Service was friendly, though. FOOD// So salty! Out of three primis, one secondo, and one contorno. Only one of the pasta dishes didn't taste like they had been drowned in sea water. The seafood pasta and seafood, which I had been looking forward to after having great seafood in Napoli, were beyond fishy. I had to give up on the dish half way because of the salt and fishiness. Meat dishes were gamey. Dunno if it was too early in the day to order them, but the beans in the fagioli al fiasco were half-cooked. Only dish that was decent was the pici al cinghiale (wild boar pasta). I hate wasting food (especially when this place was not cheap), but there was so much sodium in everything that I felt my arteries constricting. None of us could finish any of our dishes (except the pici). SERVICE// No worries about bad service/language issues if you're a foreigner. Because of its location, it's completely catered towards foreign tourists, and frankly, you'd be hard-pressed to find yourself in the minority while in this restaurant. During our lunch, only one out of the 5 occupied tables were actually Italian customers, and they were tourists, too. read more

This place is ok. I'm traveling with someone on a gluten-free diet, so our options in Italy are extremely limited. I've been letting her pick so she can eat. She found this place on an app and we went for dinner. The pasta was a bit chewy, and I question its freshness. My dish was rather salty, and though it was ok, I wouldn't recommend it. Definitely seems like a place tourists go, not locals. read more

We arrived in Florence with a group of 10 starving and desperate to find food that could suit all of the dietary restrictions (gluten free/ vegetarian). This restaurant was incredible. The wait staff was nice and accommodating and gave excellent recommendations, the food was all delicious and we all got two courses plus a dessert. From pizza to pasta to the meat dishes, everything was perfect, and the gluten free options were some of the most extensive we've seen since being in Italy. All in all, we had the best meal of our lives at this restaurant for a fair pruce and an excellent experience. Everyone should eat here. read more

Good food and service but got hit with a cover charge with the bill. The food was actually pretty good. We had mostly seafood and we were thinking about coming back a different night for steak and meat. The waitress and bus boys were attentive and provided good service. But be aware this restaurant will hit you with 2 euros for each person on the bill for cover charge. This was our 4th night in Italy and was the first restaurant we encounters that had a "cover charge". Apparently it's at the choice of the restaurant in Italy and can range from 1-2 euros per person. It's not bad considering in the US, we have tax and tip on top of the menu price. But again, it was a surprise to us when we got the bill and it's kind of the principal of it considering first time after four days/nights here and dining at similar level restaurant. read more

One of the best diners we had !!! Very nice atmosphere, friendly staff and great food. We definitely will dine here again.

Our food was pretty good but I can't give this place 5 stars because of the service. My friend ordered a plate and received another and the server decided to argue about it instead of just fixing it and getting her the correct plate. Furthermore as we were leaving after having paid, one of the servers started yelling for her coworker and followed us out to ask us if we had payed when we obviously had. They're very racist here so it's not a place I'd ever come back to even though the food is tasty. I'm sure there are places with great food and good service in Italy, no need to be here. read more

If you ask some of the leather shops in Florence where to go for a meal, they will tell you Garibardi. Several told us. We finally made it in for lunch, and while it was a pleasant experience -- the atmosphere, the service -- the food was just okay. We were glad that there were cooked greens on the menu (I believe a spinach/chard mix) which is rare on an Italian menu, and they were delicious, but everything else was just okay. read more

We had a wonderful experience dining at this place. The staff is warm and welcoming, and certainly go out of their way to provide great service. And the food is oh so good. Have the homemade fettuccine with truffle sauce; you will not be disappointed. For dessert, the Tiramisu did not disappoint at all!! They have outside covered seating so you can people watch too. Prices are quite reasonable. read more

This place is fine to eat. Nice interior with AC. For 24 euros, I got the menu bistecca which includes 500g florentine steak + potatoes + dessert of the day. I got the medium steak and some parts of it were on the rare side, which I don't mind too much. I must say though, florentine steak is pretty tough compared to american steaks. It was hard to cut and took a while to eat. Was this place amazing? no...but it fulfilled my protein craving for the day. I had to add salt and pepper since it was pretty bland. The dessert consisted of 3 layers of crunchy pastry with cream in between each layer. I think there are other places around that are cheaper for the steak. It's not special enough to get out of your way for this place. Bonus is..they do accept the red meal tickets that students get! read more
