I told my wife that if we are ever in Florence that I wanted to try the bistecca fiorentina. Well, we are here and I wanted to go this place since I watched it on YouTube. We went to this location since it was the closest to our stay and ambience was very nice. I ordered 1 kg of the bistecca alla fiorentina and my wife got a filet mignon because it's made too rare. When it came out, she tried a piece of my steak and said that that is the best steak she's ever had and I would have to agree. It is so tender and the meat has such a good flavor above other steaks I've had. She ended up eating half of my steak! And our server, Michela, was just awesome. She was funny and provide excellent service and added to our dining experience. read more

Arrived at 1800hrs. Seated quick because we had reservations. 20mins passed and server just got our orders. Waited another 10mins came our starters. Starters done, waited.. waited 1910hrs no one seem like noticing us. Got attention from the server- finally, served steak and asked salad greens after 10mins. Then more frustrations, steak did not deliver- half is all ligaments- inedible.- photos attached. We tried to eat whatever we can. This resto placed Firenze down. We had a good melt in your mouth steak 2days ago in Santo Ispirito- the moment i sliced it- i know it's a very good one. My steak at home is way more tender than this one. This steak placed the company down, the higher ups should be aware how the service is and what type of steak is served (unless they dont care)- we got the best from a resto in Santo Ispirito. read more

One of the best meals I have had while in Italy. Found this restaurant through a recommendation of staff from the hotel we stayed at which is just steps away from this restaurant. We wanted to try Florentine steak while we were in Florence of course just to see what's so special about it. Glad we tried coz it didn't disappoint. The meat was tender, juicy and perfectly seasoned. It was served on a sizzling platter wgich made it more palatable. Staff were friendly and the ambiance was great. Despite not having reservation, we didn't wait that long to be seated. read more

When in Florence you must try the Florentine steak! We were a group of 5 and opted for 2 kilos of the chianina cut. It came out and a sizzling plate and was served rare to medium rare. The flavor was delicious and it was just seasoned with salt. For our sides, we ordered the peas with ham and onions, spinach salad with mozzarella and lime, grilled veggies and roasted potatoes. Everything was incredible! But I actually loved the peas. They were so good and such a surprise since I'm not big on peas. The service was amazing and I could not recommend this experience any more! read more

When in Italy you must try their wine and steak. My wife and I decided to celebrate our anniversary at one of the best steak houses in Florence, and this place is one of the best. From the food, wines, and service. We are so lucky to have Michaela. The way she prepared our wine, her recommendations are all perfect. Our dinner is close to perfect. This time I won't hesitate to give the highest rate I've given so far... 5.0 read more

We went on a day trip to Florence last August when we visited Rome. Ate at this establishment for dinner as we waited for our train back to Rome. Food was absolutely delicious. We had a Tuscan soup, sausage pasta with burata cheese and truffle, pappardelle with wild boar sauce, and a ribeye. All amazing, but the sausage pasta with burata cheese and truffle was the best. Will absolutely be back if we are ever in Florence again. read more

I made a reservation for this restaurant at around 11am before going that night and had no problem getting a spot! If you make a reservation within a certain time frame, you get a discount! I want to say it's before 7pm but I'm not 100% sure. I got the florentine steak with and it was absolutely amazing. It was one of the best steaks I've ever had! The truffle pasta was also amazing. I definitely recommend eating here for a good steak! read more

This spot was recommended to try Florentine steak and it was sort of a meh experience. I didn't realize there were multiple locations of this place when I made the reservation so maybe this location isn't their best one... Service was sort of non existent and they forgot our appetizer (that came with my husband's meal)and a side we ordered. It was hard to get water refills or even place the order. Other tables seemed frustrated too. The strange thing is one family (who I think knew someone who worked there) got 5 star service.... That being said, the steak was bland and just blah. While a great deal for €25 as it came with water, wine, an appetizer of crostini's, a side dish of potatoes, and a steak (for 1) - it was just blah. I got the roast fish for €18 which they deboned and served table side that was surprisingly tender and flavorful. That one dish I would recommend but I think there are probably MUCH better steakhouses in Florence to try. read more

I'm not sure how this restaurant made the top 101 best steak restaurants. The steak was mediocre at best and the entire menu was over priced. The Florentine t-bone had no flavor, the filet was just okay, and the ribeye left much to be desired. The pasta was way too salty to even be eaten. I had a much better steak at Mercato Centrale. The server was not pleasant. We got an eye roll every time we asked for something to include menu interpretation. The menu isn't easy to understand at all. The restaurant was nice, strange choice in music though. I didn't expect to hear Will Smith's "getting jiggy with it" at one of the "best steak restaurants" in the world. Pass this one up. It's nothing special. read more

Absolutely amazing evening- we spent 3 hours enjoying our dinner on our last night in Florence. Our waiter Marco was awesome. The menu is a bit confusing with all different types of steak- Marco expertly guided us thru it. He made a suggestion that we go with the certified local beef ( after clearly explaining the differences) and we followed his guidance. I had a small bottle of a wonderful Bolgheri red, while my husband had a few local beers. We ordered a mixed green salad, a 1.2 kilo steak and fries. I was concerned as Florentine Bistecca is served rare~ and I don't eat meat that red. Marcos said it would be served on a hot stone so mine could cook a bit longer to my liking - that was perfect. The steak was delicious- tender and lightly seasoned. The wine was amazing and we had a lovely desert wine to finish the meal. Overall between the food and service an easy 5 star experience ~ I highly recommend this spot for a lovely evening. read more

Half hour standing outside after our reservation. Atmosphere is better at a Long Horn. Tables are crammed together. Screaming babies, barking dog. Waiter was useless, specifically asked that our Florentine t-bone be medium rare and not blood rare. That didn't happen. Other tables had their steak brought to the table before cooking. Not us. Waiter couldn't answer any questions about the other al la carte items. Food was at the table 15 minutes from order before he asked about drinks. Just as well, only spritz, beer and wine. No wine by the glass only half bottles. Steak comes on a sizzling iron platter so we spent 15 minutes cooking it to our request like a Korean BBQ. Steak was good although I don't know what was Florentine about the preparation. I read that other places cook with wood and char the steak outside but this was just a rare steak. Definitely not a steak house experience. Big let down. Avoid. read more

Trattoria Dalloste - T-bone ordered medium rare. 1KG - Steakhouses Near Me - Florence, FI

We were recommended to dine here in Italy, including the raving reviews this restaurant has seen, however, I believe our first mistake was this is a chain steakhouse within Florence, which is a red flag, even internationally. Upon being seated, our waiter (Marco) didn't come to remotely greet us for around 5-10 minutes. I was under the impression he had more than 5 tables or was cooking the meals, but that wasn't the case. From the moment the waiter touched down at our table, I could sense he wasn't happy we weren't Italian, yet Americans, as locals came in and out of the restaurant, they received white gloves service from beginning to end. I ordered the MENU BISTECCA- STEAK MENU, comes with the following for 25,00 which seemed like a good deal: (recommendation from server as their specialty) Crostini misti Rib roast steak (medium) Patate al forno o insalata mista Baked potatoes 0.37 cl water and 1⁄2 bottle of win Soon after ordering, the wine and water immediately arrived. Roughly 20 minutes later, the food comes out, now just my steak alone. Didn't receive the crostini or potatoes and I had to ask the server of the food, not the waiter. Both were brought out immediately afterwards. The crostini is an appetizer and if the waiter would have stopped accommodating the locals, he would have cared to assist us, along with the other tables that weren't locals. Also, he forgot about the side with the steak that comes with the meal. The steak was supposed to be cooked medium, unfortunately it was medium well to well done. I was tempted to send it back, but given the circumstances of our dining experience already, I was just going to deal with it. Bottom line, I don't know what the fuss is about this place as it's not anything to cry home about. Maybe this just a bad dining experience or maybe this restaurant has peeked. I'd stick to the the long line of authentic Italian restaurants while in Florence and skip this dining experience altogether. read more

Trattoria Dalloste - Ribeye steak - Steakhouses Near Me - Florence, FI

For our first meal in Florence, it was alright. We had no idea where to eat and just wandering around the neighborhood near our hotel which was right across the street from the train station. There's a nice patio outside, but there's also noise from the street to deal with. We ordered the spaghetti with meatballs and a diavola pizza to share, and a bottle of wine. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente and had a flavorful sauce. The little meatballs were good too. The crispy crust pizza held up against the sauce, though it wasn't as spicy as I thought it could've been. Service was attentive. Overall, it was a good meal, but I guess I was expecting more since we just arrived in Florence. read more

Amazing steak! Quite possibly the best steak that I ever had in my life. Comparable, or even better than the best high-end steak that I have tried in the USA. Their steak were done amazingly tender, and tasted clean - nothing but beef flavor, without any unnecessary ingredients. Well worth the trip, and most highly recommended. Tip: Make sure you set up a reservation, this place gets full quick. read more

The location of Via degli Orti Oricellari was a nightmare. This establishment was not managed well at all. My party of 5 were given poor service by the waitstaff, who were not attentive, rude, and sketchy. The menu is not very concise, so we asked questions to our waiter about the menu which seemed to be an annoyance, and we were graced with enlightening responses of "I don't know" or a blank stare. Our table was tossed around by multiple waiters and staff, which was confusing to not only us but them, causing them to mess up our orders and bringing out each meal 20-30 minutes in between each persons meal, leaving us to enjoy our meals in solidarity instead of eating as a whole. The waiters were arguing with each other over the mistakes that were made with our party, so unprofessional to see waiters throwing receipts at each others. Although the food was good, the experience ruined all redeeming qualities of the food. Also while having this poor service experience they charged a service fee and 2 bottles of wine when we only ordered one, we had proof of having one wine cork, which justified that they were sketchy and trying to take advantage of us. read more

Service was impeccable and the food delicious! I had the ribollita and sliced steak with pan a cotta for dessert, perfection!

Had the pasta with truffles. Okay with nothing to really brag about. The truffle sauce was under seasoned, and the pasta and overall dish were very heavy and hard to eat. read more

We ate here back in March 2019. This place is so good. I had the steak and my girlfriend had the seafood pasta. Both were excellent. I wish that I lived in Florence so I could try everything on the menu. 2 entrees and drinks came to less than $60 usd. They also have group steaks for 5-6 people. They cook a big slab of meat to rare and then the people at the table slice off a bit and cook it to their liking right at their table. They also offer a full wine list. The place was convenient as it was right next door to our hotel and across the street from the main train station. read more

Convenient location near train station, nice dining outdoor. Food was great and staff was very nice and friendly... Even gave us a souvenir bottle of wine on the way out. Went back 2x on our trip. They speak English and made great suggestions. read more

delicious a large (20+) group of us ate here, so the restaurant provided a set menu. Every course was delicious, and I was delighted that they were extremely careful to provide me with gluten free options (when the rest were having pasta, they cooked me a delicious risotto, and provided me gluten free French bread for the bruschetta, which was actually very good - gluten free bread is often disgusting). The decor is very modern, the food well cooked and presented, and the staff were great read more
