    Wild boar pasta
    Courtney S.

    My favorite meal in Italy! The dining room felt like I was eating in my own kitchen with tables inches apart and the ability to talk to travelers from all over the world who were sitting nearby. The wild boar pasta was to die for, and the gnocchi was also delicious. The portions were a good size and pricing was appropriate (50€ for two full meals). The wine was also delicious!

    Okay these reviews do not do this place justice. 1. There were no Americans here. Only Italian families or workers on their lunch break. 2. The food is next level. There is a reason there were so many locals having lunch here. 3. The experience: there are several Nona's that you can see in the kitchen, cooking your meal. Tending to the meat and the pasta. Walking around with tomato cans. 4. The meatballs!!! The best meatball I have ever had in my entire life. Melts in your mouth.

    I need to start by saying this was the best food I have ever eaten. Everything from start to finish was incredible. The best meal we had in Italy and one of the best meals of my entire life. The flavors were incredibly, mind-boggingly good and it was a literal steal for what you got. We didn't know what to expect since it's a small, locally owned place off the main track but the food here blew us away. I wish we were in Florence longer so we could have come back again and again. The two of us opted to get a Florentine steak with a dinner meal of the beef stew, with pesto ravioli and salads. The price came out to about $50-60 total and we got so much food and several glasses of wine. The steak was the best cut of meat I've ever had. It's unlike any steaks in the US and the flavor was just incredible. It is cooked to absolute perfection, a perfect medium rare (medium for some of the outer pieces). There is no option to cook it well so don't even ask (but please don't even try, it is perfect as it is). The stew was also amazing. We ate everything and practically licked the plates it all tasted so good. I'm sure everything on the menu is incredible and you won't go wrong. Please eat here if you are in Florence! It is a do not miss! Bonus, the staff all spoke English for the tourist. There was a good mix of tourists and locals inside. I felt very welcome as a tourist, but 100% this was not a restaurant catering to tourists only.

    Wow! Hole in the wall place next to our Air BNB that is completely unpretentious. Set menus at incredible prices. This is not the fanciest of dining places but I enjoyed how relaxed it was. Wine/water included. Bread was not very good, but everything else hit the spot. They get people in and out too, which is great. We had pasta arabiata, pesto gnocchi, flank steak, lox, salad, peas. Nothing blew me out of the water, but what a steal and what a relaxed atmosphere. Would come back in the future.

    Very good meal after a long day of sight seeing. Spotted this place on our walk back to our air bnb. We all wished we had ordered the chicken and beef special when we saw it presented at another table. Honestly looked Iike it could feed 4 people. We had excellent service from what appeared to be a mother and daughter. I had the lasagna which was good but not as epic as the chicken special. Delicious side dishes.

    My wife loves me dearly. She trusts my judgement and knows I will never steer her wrong. She has confidence in my decisions and knows that I. Know. Food. For these reasons, the ONLY man she trusts when it comes to planning out our every move while on our European vacations is...... You guessed it..... Rick Steves! (You thought it was me didn't you?) Rick Steves, the travel guru himself has been our guiding light throughout our Euro travels. He got us through Barcelona, Paris, Rome, Florence, Venice, and even Athens, and no matter what, he never lets us down. Before every overseas trip, my wife will go buy Ricks book(s) of the countries we are heading to and review his latest tips and tricks on the hotels, restaurants and must-see sights to visit. Just like every other recommendation that we have taken from Rick Steve's books, his review of Trattoria Da Giorgio in Florence was spot on. He stated the restaurant was located on a sketchy street in Florence and that you would have to go through some sketchy alleys to get there, but it would be worth it. He advised that it's a restaurant where locals and tourists come together to eat a home style meal all for a price that won't break the bank. Well let me tell you..... He was right... AGAIN! ---------------------------------------------------- We made our way through a sketchy alley with locals just hanging out staring at us like we were from another country (well, I guess we were). They were harmless and we kept pressing on. Down the "sketchy" street we accidentally zigged instead of zagged and went the wrong way and noticed the numbers on the buildings were going higher instead of lower so we turned around and went the "right" way. At last! We found the restaurant and walked in. Just as Rick described, we were greeted with a warm welcome and were seated at a table for two. Our dishes were nothing fancy, but they tasted good and the prices were appreciated. Just as we expected, we ate a lovely home-style meal amongst other tourists and locals-alike. Our trusted travel guide once again proved that he knows his stuff and he continues to be the trusted source for all our travel abroad recommendations. So the next time you find yourself in Florence and want a decent meal for a great price, come check out Trattoria Da Giorgio.

    Spelled salad

    We found this place walking distance from our hotel! It doesn't open until 7 pm! So we're there at 7:05pm and the staff greeted us with a warm welcome! We scan a QR code for our menu but the internet was really slow! So the staff let us use their ipad! My husband ordered the Florentine steak 30 euros (it was cooked to perfection and very tasty), I just had the spinach and ricotta ravioli (really soft and had the right amount of sauce)! It was really fresh and tasted home-made! I also had the mozzarella and tomato salad! Wine was included and no covered charge! 20 Euros!

    I had a great food experience here. They had a special of two course meal and a side dish. I picked a a dish recommend by a worker. A pasta dish with meat in a creamy sauce. It was delicious. It had a nice fresh flavor to it. My second course was a meat dish with rosemary. My plate had a small portions of chicken, stake and sausage. They definitely tasted how it was roasted with rosemary, delicious. My side dish was a salad. That was good too. Our dinner came with a drink. The staff was incredibly nice and patient and worked with us. The place is small and cozy. It is a cool little restaurant with art work all around.

    This is my favorite place to eat in all of Florence. It is very authentic and such nice people work here. The nonas are in the kitchen cooking and the food is so delicious. The portions are amazing and left me full even stuffed!!! This place is so cozy and gives the vibes of being at home. While studying abroad I discovered this and it feels like eating a home cooked meal!!! I love this place so much and will definitely come back anytime I am in Florence.

    Great food, vetter service and an easy location! This fun, energetics restaurant is on spot with everything. Really enjoyed the staff and their willingness to make everything better including great recommendations.

    Outstanding! Two plates, side, and a glass of either red or white wine. The cost is only €20! The food tastes fantastic and the atmosphere is perfect!

    Happy to say this place is still just as amazing as I remember it almost 10 years ago!…read more A couple of girlfriends and I discovered Pensavo Peggio during our first trip to Italy in 2017, and it quickly became one of the reasons Florence became one of my favorite cities. Back then, I ordered the Osso Buco, Lasagna, and Tiramisu--and I still remembered how incredible everything was. So, of course, when I returned nearly 10 years later, I had to order the same meals... and yes, I said meals! Fabrizio, the same server who took care of me in 2017, asked, "Are you sure you want two dinners?" I told him, "Yes! I want to try them both." Fast-forward to 2026: I walked back in two days ago, reminded Fabrizio of our conversation, and told him I was ordering both again. He immediately started laughing. Some things never change! My boyfriend ordered the pappardelle and instantly fell in love with it. We also shared a delicious cheese and meat platter and, of course, finished with Tiramisu. Nearly 10 years later, Pensavo Peggio still holds a special place in my heart. Highly recommend this cute little spot! It just goes to show that sometimes the best memories--and the best meals--are found when you venture off the beaten path. Some places are simply worth coming back to.

    Saw the reviews on Yelp and wanted to try it since we were staying around the corner…read more Had the Cacio Pepe and Grandma's Lasagna. Lasagna was 10/10 which is why my wife kept eating mine and the Pepe was still very good. Eat here for phenomenal food and value.

While we did come 1.5hours before closing and noticed the tires looked on the staffs, they were such a trooper and carried on as it was their mission. Such dedication to their craft is commendable. Interior is quaintly decorated with rustic charm. White table cloth service elevated this establishment quite well. Paired with great food, service, and charm... this is an exceptional restaurant.

The menu is vast and the food flying out of the kitchen looked amazing. An appetizer of lightly battered squash blossoms was unique and enjoyed by all. Our first choice was the green peppercorns and Cognac cream covering a steak with rosemary potatoes. This was the best dishes of our 17 day excursion. The steak was perfect while the sauce was incredibly delicious. The steak with argula salad was our second choice. It was also savory and highly recommended. The setting here is great, amazing food, good value and a truly relaxed environment. If you are in Florence, please treat yourself to a fine meal at Trattoria Za Za for that special evening. To the establishment, great restaurant and we will return. Congrats on a beautiful evening.
