    Florentine Steak
    Rance Z.

    I believe this place will more or less require reservations. Please call ahead, you will not be upset that you did. If it is the same day, you might have some luck making the reservations earlier or later in the evening. I had some other local Florentine dishes but really wanted to try some steak Florentine. The prices felt very fair. The steak was exactly everything that I could have hoped for. I believe it was between rare and medium rare with the perfect amount of char and the simplicity that one would come to associate with Tuscan food. I have a smaller than average appetite, so I had only the steak and the bread that comes with the meal. I believe their pasta and other foods also seemed to be exceptional. The waitress, despite our laughable attempts at Italian, was incredibly helpful in helping us order just enough food and wine, so that we did not accidentally over-order. I think this was possibly my favorite food in Florence! Make a reservation!

    I cannot tell you the menu item I ordered here. I can tell you that it was a thick pasta made with artichokes, cream sauce, and speck. And it was, hands down, my favorite meal in Italy. I blame the house wine for this lapse in memory. But seriously, the food here was just plain delicious. Eons after I was full, I continued to trek on, desperate to finish this plate. It didn't happen, but I came close. This was a slow meal in a non-touristy area. We were recommended to come here by a local bartender and I can't thank him enough! What a wonderful spot.

    One of my friends who lived in Florence for a year recommended this place to me, and it was one of my favorite meals that I had in Italy. Located in Oltrarno in a less touristy area across the river, this place has a nice selection of traditional food from Florence (including bistecca and wild boar pappardelle, both are which are typical from the region) and it's all priced reasonably. The place is pretty large, so you shouldn't have a problem walking in without a reservation (at least while I was dining there on a weekday, I saw several parties walk in without a reservation). It's a casual place, but has a rustic vibe to it, and it's a nice place to spend an evening. I got the wild boar pappardelle and loved it - the sauce wasn't tomato-y at all, and I didn't find it salty. The meat was really tender and paired really well with the homemade, fresh pappardelle. I wish I had a few more days in Florence because I wanted to try their linguine with mussels or their pasta with black truffles. Next time! I also got a side salad which was huge - you could easily share this with 2-4 people. I was dining solo, so I ate most of this by myself because I wanted some vegetables. All in all, a great place to come for either lunch or dinner. I was able to make a dinner reservation earlier in the day when I walked by, but even if you don't have a reservation, it's worth trying to come here for a meal. I'll be back!

    We dined here before the COVID-19 outbreak. When we tell you everything is impeccable, we can't express that enough. The only thing better than our lunch was our dessert.

    Zucchini flower and mozzarella risotto, steak and roasted potatoes
    Karen C.

    We went there on one of our tour guide recommendations. Slightly off the touristy area but still pretty close to the center. We ordered the risotto and the steak for our entrees and a side of roasted potatoes. Got the house sparkling house wine to pair with the risotto per our waiter's recommendations. The food was amazing ! Savored every bite. We were pretty full after we finished everything but since we were so happy with the dinner we decided to also try their dessert, it was a though choice but opted for the tiramisu and the seasonal fig pie. Again amazing ! Both were light and just the right sweetness. If we were not too lazy we might have gone back for a second dinner there. I also have to note that we felt very welcome here and the staff was very friendly. If/when we come back to Florence his will most definitely be on our must do.

    Steak Florentine, 600g; enough for 5 to share with our pasta. Excellent!!

    Excellent food! When I'm Florence, you have to try a steak Florentine, right??!! The trattoria did an excellent job. High quality steak cooked perfectly. Kids had the gnocchi which was great. I had pasta bolognese which was more of a brown sauce than traditional red sauce but delicious. We had an excellent meal with good service. Very busy restaurant for a good reason!

    Florentine Steak

    Our server was awesome, finally great service! We got their large bottle of house wine in red, which was 1.5 liter for 12 euros. $16 for a magnum bottle of great tasting, easy drinking wine, only in Italy! Their bread basket came with four varieties, wheat, white, bread with dried smoked anchovies, and olive bread. I liked anchovies with their olive oil and balsamic. We started with two different salads, both were fresh. I got the Florentine steak at 4 euros per 100 grams. I got 700 grams at 28 euros which was 1.5 pounds of pure delicious t-bone steak. And yes, I finished it all! That was the night I earned the nickname Pancia. Maggie's risotto with zucchini flowers smothered in melted cheese was just as phenomenal. I think Kristin got the tagliatelle with a sharp cheese. I forget average food so I may have her pasta confused. Our tiramisu was soft and creamy. This Trattoria has a Tuscan style ambiance with outstanding service. We had great food and wine at fair prices. Everyone should have an Italy experience like this.

    Holy cow! The food here is amazing. Every dish we had was delicious and packed with flavor. Definitely a must try!!

    Ribollita
    Erica Y.

    If you are an American tourist (like me), I highly recommend Trattoria dell'Orto! Tucked away in a less crowded neighborhood of Florence, this trattoria has competitive prices, friendly service, and absolutely delicious food. Their ribollita is the best I've eaten in Florence - warm, hearty, stick-to-your-ribs stew. The atmosphere is also incredibly cozy and gives you a sense of the local feel: there were a few Italian families and couples dining at the same time, and everybody seemed to be genuinely enjoying themselves. I will definitely return to Trattoria dell'Orto the next time I am in Florence!

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.

On top of the pain of securing a reservation (they only take these over the phone; no online system), the only slot I could secure even as a solo diner was as soon as they opened, at 6pm, and via a bar seat. When I arrived, I was immediately greeted by several of the staff, all warm/kind. One of them offered me a table, even though I humbly mentioned I'd be fine with whatever was convenient to them. I looked around and saw what seemed to be majority American tourists so I had very standard expectations. Well, what commenced...my god. I'm getting chills now thinking about the entire experience. Just the absolute perfect dinner my first night in Florence. Everything on the menu looked fantastic and I was even tempted to order 2 Primi (pastas) but my server discouraged it, said they were quite large. Instead she guided towards the "must" appetizer, the "onion flan with pecorino cheese and truffle" followed by their signature pasta, "pappardelle with wild boar ragù" The appetizer literally brought me to tears as soon as I took a bite. I didn't think I liked truffle but this was life-changing. And the pasta was served piping hot and also to die for. I complemented the meal with a delicious glass of white and red and ended with the utterly divine tiramisu. I will be dreaming about this meal for years to come. So epic.

We spent three days in Florence and ate here twice, and cut our tour of the Acedemia out of our schedule to make sure we could make it for lunch before heading on to Rome, that's how awesome the food was! The people running the restaurant are so amazing, they truly treat you like family while you are there. They were always attentive, but never lingering. Unlike restaurants in the US where you are expected to eat and leave as soon as possible, in Italy food is mean to be enjoyed over conversation and camaraderie, which means unless you wave someone over or your glasses are empty you are left to enjoy yourselves. Osteria Santo Spirito is no exception to this rule. You'll be warmly greeted and well cared for but never hovered over. You will absolutely want to make a reservation, a wait for a table inside can take a bit to get if you just plan to stroll in off the street, but the seating outside is just as beautiful and a bit more plentiful.
