    Spinach ravioli
    joyce l.

    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")

    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!

    Almost 2kg of steakkk

    Rated one of the top 100 steakhouses in the world we saw the abundance of reviews and all different platforms on the maps. We knew we had to stop by here. This was one of those treat yourself type of moments so our group all decided that we were gonna go all in for the steak here. They definitely lived up to it hype and I can see why it is one of the top 100 steak houses in the world. Our steak was 1.8 kg and it was a lot of steak for us but we also ordered a few different pasta sides as well. The steak was nice and juicy and was cooked perfectly. Our server was hilarious and he explained the menu completely to us. It is a nicer restaurant, so everyone was dressed up a little bit nicer and was out here to either enjoy some thing or celebrate some thing. So if you wanna go, try to get there at an off-time or make some reservations in advance.

    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!!

    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.

    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.

    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
    Amber K.

    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.

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.

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!

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 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.

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.

We all thoroughly enjoyed our meal, and it was definitely the best wine we had with meals in Florence. Gnocchi and wild boar taglietelle were outstanding. Had we had come earlier in our stay we might have come back again They also do a wine window which I wish I'd known about earlier because the other one we tried for fun was not good
