    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Incredible 3 course meal, wine, and water for 15€ (lunch)! The truffle pasta was incredible. I started to feel full but then when the salad and fish dish arrived, I had to try both. The salad was so fresh and the fish was cooked to perfection with a delicious tomato sauce, so I finished it all. The white wine was very smooth too. Trattoria Da Giorgio felt more traditional and not touristy at all.

We had been there 40 minutes before flagging the waiter to order. The good news is once we order the food came out at a reasonable pace. Started with the warm octopus salad that was quite nice with nice chunks of tender octopus and warm potatoes. We also tried the Bistecca Florentine here. The nice thing is they have a smaller minimum serving size of only 700 g which is about 1 1/2 pounds. And it was really really good. It was cooked perfectly and well seasoned lots of nice salt and the taste was among the best states that I've had actually. And for the price of only €5.5 per 100 g it was actually very reasonable we paired with roasted potatoes and grilled vegetables, which were perfect compliments. The additional kicker was hooking on Tripadvisor a reservation. We got a 20% off our bill which made the meal even more affordable. It was our least expensive dinners and we loved it.

The servers check in frequently and are quick to help with anything you need. The ambiance is lively with popular music, laughter, and conversation. We chatted with the table next to us on the way out and met some fellow Texans! On our way out, the owner also remembered my name and started introducing me to other tables to make friends. What a fun place to be! The food was absolutely amazing. When we saw them slicing the salami right in front of us, we decided to order the salami plate and we were so glad we did! The zucchini flower and saffron pasta was bursting with flavor and the pasta was so perfectly cooked. I couldn't get enough! The duck ragu pasta was also hearty, rich, and delicious. The sauce was so good, my family soaked up every last bit with our bread. The ricotta spinach ravioli was also amazing!! Again the sauce was such a standout. The ravioli was so fresh with the perfect amount of bite. The green pepper sauce steak was soooo good. Cooked perfectly, with such a unique sauce that the whole peppercorns added perfectly to in texture and spice. Finally, the raspberry tiramisu. We were so full, but when they set these down our dessert stomachs were ready. They were amazing! Not the strongest raspberry flavor, but still such a delicious end to the meal. Side note, you MUST have a reservation to eat here, and they only take reservations by call. Because I didn't have a way to call them, I asked my Airbnb hosts who did it for me (also amazing people). While we were eating, there was a crowd forming outside of people waiting to get in but unable to. It's so worth it to visit Vini e Vecchi Sappori! I'll definitely have to come back next time I'm in Florence.

We had our hotel call for us when we checked in and were lucky to grab a 1:30 lunch slot on a Thursday afternoon. We saw the fat physical reservation book when we went, and also saw an attempted walk-in get turned away. We wanted to go for dinner, but I'm just glad we were able to get in at all. Vini e Vecchi Sapori was easily my favorite restaurant in Florence. I loved the cozy, vibrant dining room, snug and eclectically decorated. We were at a table so tiny, I worried about pulling a muscle when I crossed my legs. It was nestled amongst other tiny tables, and abutted a counter where plates were put out for service and the reservation book set down in its glory next to my husband's head. Service was warm, efficient, and attentive. Our waiter basically told what to order and we obeyed him, with excellent results. The one-page handwritten menu, helpfully available in English, presented the day's offerings and this preemptive list of disclaimers: No Pizza No Cappuccino No The Fork No Ice No Spritz No Ketchup FUCK CANCER There was a brief selection of Italian wines by the glass, and we got the Chianti Classico and the Bruno de Montalcino, both lovely. The food was delicious, starting with good bread and good olive oil. We ordered the mixed Tuscany salami and the beef carpaccio as appetizers, and they were both superb and not in the least bit redundant. There were four or five types of salami, every one of them fantastic, and I loved the thin, silky carpaccio, served with rucola, parmesan, olive oil, and black pepper. We shared two splendid pastas, spinach ricotta ravioli in a creamy rose tomato sauce and a hearty pappardelle with duck ragu. For dessert, we had the lush, irresistible raspberries tiramisu. I plan to come back to Florence one day, and will make a point of coming back to Vini e Vecchi Sapori. It's a special restaurant, the kind you hope to find in Italy, a welcoming place with lively ambiance and wonderful food.

Not many places actually have yelp reviews, but this one had so many with great feedback. The food looked amazing. When we arrived we thought they were closed, but that is because they moved to a bigger restaurant a few doors down. When we arrived at the front, the gentleman asked if we had reservations, which we didn't. He directed us to the line with no reservations. The line was a bit long, but doubled in size almost immediately. It also started pouring rain during this time and we were ALL getting drenched even with an umbrella. The non reservation line was not really moving unless people left the line. We waited a good hour. As we inched closer and closer, the lines were now both outrageous and getting seated seemed like a distant memory. The staff came out and gave out Sangria and Bread bites to help those in line feel welcome. We did finally get seated and we were so glad we waited, it was worth it! We ordered the Spaghetti Carbonara, the lobster spaghettini and the chicken breast with roasted potatoes. We also ordered sangria. Everything was so good and our total was 83 €.

We were in the area around 4:30PM and decided to stop in, totally not expecting much as we didn't make a reservation but figured if they're open and not busy, why not give them a try. The most memorable dish we had was the appetizer we order - fried polenta with mushrooms and chicken liver pate, the polenta fried crispy, the mushrooms creamy and the chicken liver pate so smooth and savory. We also ordered 2 pasta dishes - wild boar sauce pappardelle and spaghetti alla carbonara. So tasty and with depth of flavors. Paired well with the house white wine we ordered as well. Definitely a spot you don't want to miss when in Florence.

The bread, I can't even explain, the bread it's so flavorful and so good and so light. That paired with the delicious meats and cheeses were 100% worth it. I definitely recommend this location to anybody who is visiting Florence regularly or for their first time.
