florentine steak chianina, sides of salad and roasted potatoes
Ron P.

My partner and I recently tried this place while we were in Florence and we were disappointed after trying their florentine chianina which was actually recommended by our server. The steak came and it wasn't tasty as what we have expected. The price is not worth the quality of steak we had. There are a lot of other places with good quality steaks in the area. Overall, steak was nothing special, but place was cozy and service was good.

Probably the most popular steakhouse in Florence. We gotta try the Florentine steak. After consulting the server, we got the local Italian beef (forgot its name, but the fattier one). The steak came out with great presentation. Sizzling on a hot plat. Giant piece of meat. We easily finish all the meat, so it was good. The steak tasted normal though - not as beefy as dry aged beef, or not as flavorful at some other places i have tried (Porteno in Sydney), Just regular red meat taste. A little not salty enough. For sure not the best steak i have ever eaten. Probably due to the simple way how Florentine steaks are cooked. The tiramisu was also mid. Servers were somehow all non-Italian (Indians), so that gave me a touristy vibe. But whatever lol. Anyways, it was still a good dinner date overall, so just want to leave it at a positive note.

Rib eye steak
Jackson C.

Trattoria dall'Oste is a popular restaurant in Florence and there are multiple locations to choose from. Restaurant is known for its for its steaks and pasta. Since we knew we couldn't finish the gigantic Florentine steak, we opted for the rib eye steak. I was particularly impressed with the steak. It was surprisingly tough considering it was rib eye. Did not notice much marbling on the rib eye either. On the other hand, I did enjoy the Beef Ragu as it provided tender chunks of beef in a tomato and carrot based ragu sauce. Very tasty and the pasta was tender and good bite to it. The service was subpar and uneven for us. Nobody even acknowledged us for 10 min after we sat and I had to flag someone to help us. The waiter seemed disinterested and just asked whether we are ready to order. Seems like they didn't know who was supposed to serve my table. Oh well. Guess I won't be coming back give all the restaurant options in Florence.

Florentine steak

Probably the best meal I've ever had, Trattoria dall'Oste was most definitely the right decision for where I would have liked to indulge in my florentine steak desires. From the intimate ambiance, to the exceptional service, to the attention to detail on every dish, to the perfect texture and taste of the florentine steak, it was worth every penny for a nice dinner out. Look no further, Trattoria dall'Oste is your place for the best florentine steak in Florence.

Bread with tartare
Monica R.

Stopped by here for a late lunch and it was great. Everything from the cleanliness of the restaurant to the service and the food was on point. We started with the beef tartare and it had great flavor, it was fresh buttery and soft. The gnudi was creamy and had great texture. It was missing a bit of salt but still very enjoyable. The seafood pasta had plenty of seafood and had great flavor. Great experience. Food was delicious and so was the wine.

Trattoria dall'Oste in the heart of Florence (Firenze) Italy. Having their Chianina Beef Steak was a Life Changing experience. We've tried USDA Prime, Kobe, and Wagyu. From places like DK's, Wolfgang's, steakhouses from Nee York to Japan. The steaks they're serving in Florence / Firenze is the best I've ever had. Impeccable service from the front to the back of the house. Cozy dining room. They also serve Italian cuisine but they're Famous the World over for their Steaks. .

Bistecca alla Florentina
Tracy P.

Blown away by the Bistecca alla Florentina! You could definitely make a reservations because it gets very busy. We decided to have an early dinner and luckily were able to get a table right away. The restaurant is low lighting and very clean. The T-Bone steak was phenomenal! It came on a hot plate which made it fun to cook the steak to your liking! The amount of steak that it comes in is plenty to share. The side grilled vegetables we got were kind of cold and so we actually put it on the hot plate to warm it up and it was delicious! We also got the pasta which was good, but we probably didn't need to order it since we were so full from the steak. Service was great! Very attentive staff!

1.2kg Florentine T-bone
Melissa K.

We came here our first night in Florence. This restaurant was highly recommended by our hotel and TripAdvisor. We did not have a reservation but at 8:00pm we had no problem getting a table. We were seated quickly and the service was excellent. The server explained the traditional Florentine steak and best options for ordering. We ordered a 1.2 Kg steak for 2 people, cooked the traditional style rare to medium rare. We added arugula salad and grilled vegetables. The steak was served on a sizzling hot cast iron serving platter. It was absolutely amazing, cooked to perfection. The salad and vegetables were also delicious and all were good size portions. We also ordered a nice bottle of wine and the service presentation was perfect. The waiter ensured we tasted the wine and that the glasses were perfectly decanted. We wrapped up the meal with tiramisu and dessert wine. Both were delicious and the portions were perfect. Overall this was a great meal and the ambiance was very pleasing. Service was excellent and not pushy. They seemed genuinely interested in ensuring that the meal was perfect. I would highly recommend a visit to one of the 4 locations in Florence. This location was a short walk from our hotel and offered an enjoyable evening stroll after the meal through the piazzas surrounding the duomo.

We were in Florence with a Tauck tour and one of our fellow travelers had heard about this place from a friend of theirs. He and his wife invited me and my husband to go to dinner with them here. We had an 8:30 reservation and the place was already packed. The restaurant has plenty of appetizers and pastas, but their signature dish is steak. My husband and the other male member of our party split the signature dish, the Florentine steak. It was humongous! It comes to the table on a hot grilling plate. I had the lasagna. It was a good size portion and tasty. Our fourth dining guest had the sliced beef with rocket salad and mushrooms. She requested medium but it came out kind of rare.

Florentine steak

My husband and I came to Dall'Oste at via dei cherchi for our first wedding anniversary. We got the Florentine steak to share and it was very good and flavorful. I will say, we wished they would have shown us the cut beforehand, because it was a little fattier than we would have liked it. The service was fine, but we didn't have just one server and I wish we did. It made the experience a little less personable. I heard other locations of Dall'Oste in Florence were better, so we would definitely try another location. Be aware this is a very touristy place to go. Overall the food was great.

Porter inside
Jenny C.

Immediately upon walking in, grabbing our reserved table was a little hard and to be frank kind of cold as we waited in that hallway with meats in the window. We got escorted to a table in the foreign people section I'm sure as all of them were Asian just like us so I wasn't sure if this was racial profiling or like just a foreign thing to grab a waiter who will try to fill our nights with jokes that we don't really get because he was very witty and very rude but somehow managed to make us laugh by the end of the night or maybe it was just the amount of steak we ate we just thought his comments were just insane and ridiculous. Definitely don't come for service. The Wagyu was the fave and honestly our waiter did good in recommending this as the Wagyu is from Venice Italy. We also ordered the porter from Italy as well to try it and the Wagyu was melting in your mouth like butter! The porter was good too I enjoy the fat parts here as they have a bit of a good crunch to the meat. The salad had no dressing just so you know, and the potatoes were soooo good but they're boiled so just precaution if you're an American searching for fried potatoes - it's not. HOWEVER I love these potatoes since they're boiled and buttery. Quite in fact suits the steak since the steak is already so heavy. I loved the steak here and since we don't tip I guess service doesn't matter here in Italy. Food is amazing and very worth while. Totally recommend this to people who want to try florentine steak.

Bistecca Fiorentina
Leonard D.

This place by far is my favorite steakhouse. There is a lot of competition in Florence for bistecca Fiorentina but for me the combination of the high quality of the food, the extensive and incredible wine list and the attentive staff make this place the overall choice. The interior of the restaurant also lends to the experience with its arched and domed ceiling which take you back in time. I highly recommend this restaurant if you are in Firenze.

Joanna R.

They get you in and out quickly. No lingering! The server approached our table for the first time and said "you ready?" No greeting, no offer of drinks, no sharing details about the menu. One of my bigger pet peeves. Combined with a few other interesting happenings during our evening it was just not the service we'd prefer. The food was fine - particularly enjoyed the dessert of profiteroles and the potatoes. But as soon as that last utensil was placed down, we were aware it was time to go. They flip tables very quickly here. Restaurant was beautiful and cozy. Looks small but in reality is quite large with multiple rooms. Appreciated the 20% discount off of our bill through Yelp check-in. But after 8 nights in Italy (so probably 15 meals out) it was the first one to ask for gratuity when we paid. Would not return.

We ordered the 2.6 lb dry aged Florentine steak and gnocchi. The Florentine steak is a must try steak here. It was very juicy, tender, and it was bursting with flavor. The meat was nice and chewy. The steak was gigantic and it is bigger than my head. They first bring out the raw steak and weight it in front of you. The steak is enough to share for three people. The gnocchi was also very delicious. It was cheesy and rich. It was also in a way creamy and the cheese just melted in your mouth. One of the best things I've ever put in my mouth and eaten. The cheesecake is very famous in this restaurant. We tried it and understand why. The cheesecake was super creamy and soft. I had a great time and experience here. Definitely will be back sometime soon hopefully. This is a place I highly recommend to everyone. Come and try it out for yourselves.

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.

Wow, what a special place…read more Set inside a 14th-century tower near the Ponte Vecchio in Florence, this restaurant delivers an unforgettable dining experience from the moment you walk in. The atmosphere alone is worth a visit, but the food is what truly makes it exceptional. We ordered the ravioli, pappardelle with wild boar ragù, the Florentine steak, a mixed salad, affogato, and fresh strawberries with mascarpone cream. To drink, we shared a small carafe of red wine and a Pinot Grigio. Everything was spectacular. The Florentine steak was easily the best--and largest--I have ever had. Perfectly cooked, incredibly flavorful, and remarkably tender, it was the highlight of an already outstanding meal. The pappardelle with boar ragù was rich, hearty, and deeply satisfying, while the ravioli was beautifully prepared and full of flavor. Every dish felt authentic, carefully executed, and memorable. The wine was another pleasant surprise. Both selections were excellent and very reasonably priced, making the meal feel like an even better value. Our waiter was friendly, attentive, and incredibly helpful. He patiently answered questions, explained the menu, and guided us toward some fantastic choices. Although we thought we were too full for dessert, we're very glad we changed our minds. The affogato was fantastic, and the strawberries with mascarpone cream were absolutely delicious. One of the highlights of the evening was watching our four-year-old happily clutching two spoons and enthusiastically scooping fresh strawberries and mascarpone into his mouth. It was one of those memorable family travel moments that you don't forget. A terrific meal, a unique historic setting, excellent service, and a wonderful atmosphere. This was one of our favorite dining experiences in Florence, and I highly recommend it.

We were welcomed warmly by the staff (he literally said "ah yes I remember you" ) and guided to our cozy little table in the corner. Were ordered a bottle of Chianti Classico to start, as well as a few pastas plus the steak and cod. I can safely say the spaghetti pomodoro with burrata was the best pasta dish I've had in Italy - the pasta was perfectly cooked and the cherry tomatoes was so sweet, the kind of thing that reminds you why you came to Italy in the first place. Overall: great service, great atmosphere, and fantastic food. Just be sure to make a reservation!!

I went to the internet for the best Florentine steak and Trattoria Mario consistently popped up as highly rated. I reached out to the restaurant via email to make a reservation for a Friday. I wanted to get the earliest reservation possible, so the restaurant reserved me for 7:30pm, which was when they open. I was advised to show up on time - even a 2 minute delay would make me miss my reservation. I can see why Trattoria Mario was strict on reservations. They open on the dot, and then a staff member calls out each reservation at 7:30pm like a roll call. Seemed to me that if you don't have a reservation then you're out of luck, because there was no waitlist and the restaurant small and space was limited. Service was great. Our waitress was highly attentive and got us in/out of the restaurant quickly, which was what we were going for. Food came out in a timely manner. We ordered the penne al ragu, salad misto, and a Florentine steak to share. The penne was perfectly al dente, and I liked the meat sauce. I did find the pasta sauce salty, but it could've came from the grated parmesan. The saltiness was not a fluke. The Florentine steak was just pure beef and a ton of salt... too much salt for my liking. I also decided that I'm not a fan of Florentine steak in general.

This restaurant is such a VIBE. Cozy, romantic and a total scene. Service was great as was the food.

I shared two pasta dishes with my daughter (the handmade Pappardelle with Maremman Wild Boar Ragu and the Carbonara). Both were very good but not the best we've had. Appetizers were good: Salad with pecorino cheese, oranges, pine nuts and walnuts. We ordered the Octopus appetizer as well. The Octopus was beautifully prepared and presented, but didn't have much flavor. They nailed the Espresso Martini! One of the best I've ever had! We ordered the huge Florentine steak to share between 4 of us and it was more than enough. Ultimately what knocked this review down to 3 stars and what was really disappointing was how they targeted us as tourists with the note at the bottom of the bill (see picture). It read "GRATUITY NOT INCLUDED" in all CAPITAL LETTERS. Also note it was the only thing in English on the entire bill. If it had been our first meal in Florence we might have fallen for this tactic, however it was our last. There's definitely some hostility towards tourists in Florence. Don't get me wrong, some of the people and restaurants we've visited have been very welcoming and friendly. However we recently saw tourist taxes go up significantly, and then you see tricks like this on the bill at La Giostra. This was the ONLY restaurant in Florence where we encountered this. Once jet fuel prices make flying a relic of the past I would argue that some Europeans who depend on tourists for their livelihood may not miss our presence but will certainly miss our spending. Save your money and go research the many other places to eat while in Florence.

The menu was solid, if a bit "generic" at times. While everything we ordered was delicious, nothing at Trattoria Giovanni felt like a dish you couldn't find elsewhere... and honestly, that's perfectly fine! It was traditional, comforting, and exactly what we were craving. The plate of cured meats and cheese was phenomenal, a great start to the meal.
