    Kind eyes watching over us while we ate.

    Trattoria Marione was without a doubt our finest dinner in Florence. This may be a bold statement, but this unassuming neighborhood trattoria outdid well known, Michelin-mentioned restaurants. The seating for 2 (no reservation required) in the front room was still cozy. The crostini -- one with tomato, the other with a divine mushroom pâté -- and the pecorino with honey & fruit mustard were incredible appetizers. The first courses of mushroom risotto and cacio e pepe did not disappoint. Second courses of roast pork & eggplant Parmesan were top notch. A shared dessert of tiramisu & a "present" of limoncello (probably because I tipped like an American!) finished an incredible evening. On any future visit to Florence, Trattoria Marione will be where I return.

    Florentine Steak (served rare only)

    First rule of eating Florentine Steak. It comes rare so don't ask for it to be cooked any other way. Second rule of eating Florentine Steak. Even if you don't normally eat your steaks rare, do what the Romans do and go with the flow. My sister and one of my nephews don't like it rare but they tried it and loved it. Super popular spot for Florentine Steak. Since we didn't make any reservations, we arrived when it opened for dinner and were seated right away. There is an upstairs and downstairs. Service was outstanding from start to finish. As busy as they were, our waiter was patient in explaining that we should order in kilos. Our mouths were watering with anticipation. That first bite was everything and more. Why can't we have this back home?? Order a pasta or two to go along with your steak. As I am writing this review, I'm salivating. We got to visit two places for Florentine steak in Florence and we all thought this was better than the other one. We also ordered a plate of Salami and Pastrami. OMG, best salami ever and I'm not even a huge fan of salami. It's just different from the ones I have had all my life back in the states. A must visit on your trip to Italy.

    Our delicious dinner must have the Florentine steak

    Our taxi driver recommended this restaurant to have a traditional Florentine style steak. It was absolutely delicious! We also had the homemade lasagna which was amazing. The place was very busy but we got seated within 20 minutes. We sat right next to the kitchen so you can see the chefs moving and shaking which was very cool to watch. I highly recommend going here if you want to eat with the locals

    Florentine steak (not t bone)
    Angie Y.

    A very old school, traditional no frills joint that serves up the famous classic Florentine steak. Steaks are all served up by the gram and you can opt for a ribeye cut or tbone. You have no control over how large the portion is but it ranges from $35 to $130 based on the cut. All steaks are served rare -- they do not allow you to adjust the temperature. Limited menu and side options such as just a handful of pasta dishes and other main courses. I would not come here if it's not to enjoy a steak. Relative to other places that serve Florentine steak this spot is very affordable and humble. This is not a spot to come out for a romantic dinner as the ambience is more similar to dining in somebody's older home. There is free wine outside to sip on as you wait.

    My friend from Florence recommended this restaurant to me and it appeared that other tourists also got the same recommendation. Their Florentine steak was the best that we had during our entire visit to Florence. They do it so well. We also tried fish, lasagna and salad. We ordered a bottle of wine to go with our meal. There is also a menu of specials written on the board. They were very patient with us as tourists and the bathroom downstairs is clean. I highly recommend coming here and coming early (we were here for lunch) because it will get crowded.

    Wild boar Cinghiale 100/10 good wine great atmosphere and it was the best pasta dish of my trip through Florence

    Risotto
    Yiqiu W.

    The place gets crowded for dinner and we were lucky to get seated downstairs (yes it has more below the street level). We ordered risotto, tortellini, ossubuco and tiramisu for dessert. Except risotto being on the salty side, all other dishes are simple and tasty. Tiramisu is one of the best we have ever tried and I almost wanted a second plate. That evening we happened to be dining with a large group of people so it got loud in a smaller underground space. And there were a few fruit flies kept attacking our wine so we were constantly paying attention to our glass which is a bit annoying.

    Beautiful traditional establishment
    Pett O.

    Fantastic historic trattoria, with a great Florentine menu. Unique establishment with a traditional depth, and charming decoration. Service is impecable and food is so good. The meat is truly exceptional. Do not miss the more elaborated osso buco, and the ragout with white beans. Pasta is incredible here, and do the house made cakes. A safe heaven in a city full of tourist traps.

    Eggplant parm

    Came here twice on our trip to Florence. The food was amazing every time. Definitely recommend

    Lovely little salad
    Carrie R.

    We had a great meal here. We were seated on the lower level which feels like a charming old wine cellar. We loved it. All the food coming out looked great. We had a lovely authentic meal. The pasta was fresh and so delicious! We wouldn't hesitate to go back!

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.

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.

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

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 ordered the Spaghetti Carbonara, the lobster spaghettini and the chicken breast with roasted potatoes. We also ordered sangria. Everything was so good and our total was 83 €. Prices were unbelievable! We were amazed at the quality, the service and how large the restaurant they relocated to was. It was like a well oiled machine. The food coming out quickly and efficiently.

Definitely can tell the old building and maybe they had expanded over the years. The service was amazing and the food delicious. This is one of the places that friends recommended and it's also on the list of many influencers. Tourist trappy, maybe. But the food was totally 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. Definitely a spot you don't want to miss when 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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

    We had a lovely dinner at Trattoria Giovanni. We loved how cozy, spacious, and genuinely local it…read morefelt, like eating at your grandma's house. 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.
