    Before leaving Florence, I wanted to try Bistecca alla Florentina. Luckily, we were able to make dinner reservations at Trattoria dall'Oste. We were greeted and seated promptly as soon as we walked in for our reservation. Our server was friendly, polite, and helpful in choosing a bottle of wine. She also explained to us what would be a good weight of meat for two people. We also ordered a pasta dish (I forgot to take a picture), and we were instructed that in Italy, we have to eat the pasta dish first (primi), before they serve the meat (secondi). "In Italy, we do not eat our pasta and meat at the same time." We had to finish the pasta dish first, then we were given clean plates. That was when they served the steak. We had: BISTECCA ALLA FLORENTINA "CHIANINA" 1kg- Absolutely delicious. The meat was perfectly seasoned and prepared. Every bite was just so good. TAGLIOLINI AI FUNGHI PORCINI- Outstanding MILLE FOGLIE CON CREME CHANTILLY- So light, airy, and simply delightful. This was one of the best meals I have had in Italy. The steak was something that I will remember for a long time ;) Everything that I've had on this visit was excellent. The service was very efficient and exceptional, and the restaurant was beautiful and clean. Molte grazie!

    Spinach ravioli

    Chose this restaurant to celebrate my husband's birthday while we were on holiday. They offer quality beef from all around the world. Sounds like a win-win right? Guaranteed to earn me the wife of the year award. My husband ordered the florentine Chianian steak. He wanted to try a local meat. It came out perfectly made medium rare won an iron skillet (great for keeping it warm and also to give a light cook of the piece is too rare). For vegetables we ordered the chicory, which was a surprisingly a very generous portion. My son had the spinach raviolis and my daughter had the tagliere in Ragu sauce. Both were a hit. We ordered a bottle of Boghleri. Great wine for the price. Everything was going well until we noticed that they never brought my lobster pasta. Also realized at that point we hadn't seen our server since he took our order. He was busily tending to other patrons the entire time. Our wine and orders were delivered by the bus boy, who was amazing btw ,which is why we didn't notice our server had not returned. When we were finally able to track down our server, he said my pasta would be ready right away. It didn't show up until everyone else was done with their meals. No apologies. No explanation. They didn't give me a plate for the shells. No wipe for my hands. It was if they just wanted us gone. The lobster itself was ok.... Sauce was a plain tomato sauce, not super flavorful or special in any way. I would say this was the only dish that disappointed (but then again why did I order lobster at a steak house you may say lol). It also appears the chef threw it onto a plate in a rush. There was zero presentation (lobster is buried inder the pasta) and wasn't finished (no chopped parsley or even one basil Leaf). See pic. This also Leads me to believe the waiter forgot about it and had it slapped up in a hurry so as to get us on our way so he could have his table for the next seating. At the end of the meal, it turns out my server also didn't know it was my husbands birthday (despite it being in my reservation notes) and had no plans to do anything special when I let him KNow . Someone handed me our check and that was that. I had high expectations, you can bet your bottom dollar. We have been to high end steakhouses all over the world and I'm sorry to report this particular location had wait staff that just doesn't care about their customers' experience. Most of the food was good. Was it worth paying to price for a nice meal, absolutely not. Don't get me wrong, I will pay too dollar for Michelin restaurants and not look back. The service here was completely lacking. Just my two cents worth (or 400€ in this case). So many other places to enjoy a quality Florentino steak where you are served with respect

    Bistecca alla Fiorentina "Chianina" (famous grilled steak "Chianina")
    Elizabeth P.

    We had a reservation dinner at 5:30PM for 2 people. Inside was spacious and I liked the atmosphere. I think it's a great place for dinner. Our server was really nice, friendly, and made great recommendations for our first time. The menu had lots of choices, and we ordered Bistecca all Fiorentina "Chianina" steak 1.2kg and Pappardelle al sugo di cinghiale pasta per our server's recommendations. Food was very delicious, I especially enjoyed the steak! I would love to visit again for dinner the next time I'm in Italy!

    The steak was a masterpiece of flavors and tenderness. It was cooked to perfection, with a beautiful sear on the outside and a juicy, pink center. The taste was nothing short of divine - rich, savory, and oh-so-buttery. Each bite was a symphony of flavors that danced on my palate. But what truly amazed me was how incredibly soft and tender the steak was. It practically melted in my mouth. If you're in Florence and crave a steak that's both heavenly in taste and incredibly soft, make your way here . Buon appetito!!

    NGL I walked in and I saw a hella Korean people. I wanted to turn around and leave. This location is so close to the Firenze SMN train station. I wonder if it would be the same at other locations. I got an early dinner reservation around 6 PM. By the time we left, around 7:30 PM, they were turning people away because they just didn't have any more room. Good idea to get a reservation or come early! I was here to get the bistecca alla fiorentina, but our server was like, do you want to get the chianina? We asked what's the difference. She said it's more tender. I said, si, perche no? We got a side of mixed salad. When the 1 kg-steak came out, it was so beautiful. It tasted even better than it looked. It was probably the best steak I had in Italy. It was indeed very tender. I recommend everyone to get it when they're in Florence. A bottle of water is 3.50 euros. Cover charge is 3.50 euros per person.

    Ribeye 1/2 kilo
    Julie F.

    Near train station, so I was apprehensive about the location. Definitely not a quaint neighborhood feel. However, the food looked, smelled and tasted amazing. Our 8pm reservation was taken promptly and I would suggest it. The place was packed and people were waiting outside for their tables. No room within to wait. My husbands ribeye for one was flavorful and cooked correctly. I had the wild boar pappardelle which was very good. The table next to us had the large steak I photographed. 2 adults and a child demolished this great looking steak. The waiter was attentive. When you are ready to pay, just go up to the checkout. Waiter did not bring bill to the table.

    It is the boss of beef
    Paolo B.

    It is the truth folks, this is the best steak I've ever eaten in the whole world. Just comparing it to Kobe/Wagyu in Japan, Peter Luger in NYC, and Keens also in NYC. It looks raw but is not, it has the right tenderness, not mushy or very soft and beefy they say. It is not overly expensive too like NYC steak houses. The staff is very friendly and attentive.

    Florentine steak
    Celeste P.

    Best Florentine Steak I've ever had ! Super soft , melts in your mouth. Service super fast and food came out within 20 minutes. They recommend it Medium Rare but if you want to cook it longer they provide a hot plate. They don't sell wine by the glass only by bottle but it's a personal size. Yes it's pricey but definitely worth it. This location was smaller (by the metro station) definitely recommend reservations.

    Black angus steak

    Great steak, great pasta and amazing service! Definitely recommend if you are in Florence they have a great variety of T bone steaks and the truffle pasta was delicious

    Steak Florentine medium rare.
    Matt K.

    Best meal of my life! Go local on the beef and do the Florentine Beef for two. Medium rare is the way to go but if you like it a little more done the serving tray is smoking hot so you can lay down a piece for a minute to sear if you want. Don't embarrass yourself by ordering it medium. We ordered some veggies and wine as well. Steak was perfect and the marble was D' Lish with the beef. Can not rave about the food and service enough. Our waiter, Erold, was attentive funny and a great host.

    Delicious dinner and the presentation was wonderful
    Robyn P.

    We are visiting so we took taxi, service was great as well as all of our meals. Unbelievable steak and be sure to observe where they are prepared.

    Florentine Steak was a bomb!
    Etta B.

    Food was really good. The best T-Bone steak ever. The service is really at par. Everyone was friendly and accommodating!

    Dessert was not bad at all.
    Dawn C.

    Maybe coz we had good steak already the other day that I can't rate them a 5.. For us, it was like regular steak we had back home. Was good but not the greatest. It is still better than Maestros and Mortons but the Florentine Chianni was still chewy despite being medium rare. ( I know it's not filet minon or wagyu but we just had a steak florentine just the other day that was perfection so we can compare it to that) Should definitely rub the meat with salt prior to grilling coz it really lacked flavor for us. I did see them sprinkle salt on top prior to serving but still a meh.

As we switched our plates back and forth, I kept looking forward to the next bite of this dish. This indicates that quality of this dish alone. Paired with the Pino Grigio, wow... combination hit all the notes. Service was exceptional. 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. Great job team. You guys are amazing!

It's close enough to the lively, bustling part of Firenze to feel connected, yet just far enough to escape the city's never-ending wave of tourists. The service was incredible, and the owner (I'm pretty sure it was the owner?) brought so much energy that he single-handedly turned the whole place into an eclectic little spot during the "rush hour" of the evening. 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. The pastas were really good as well, though one of the meat dishes had a slightly off texture, with the chunks of meat a bit overcooked. All in all, we loved our meal and would definitely recommend this spot if you're in Florence.

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.

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.
