    We stayed at a hotel right down the street and while walking around this afternoon I saw this place. My wife and I don't eat any meat or dairy, so it's not easy finding options. I thought it might be a good place to go. The waiter was super accommodating. I ended up getting the plain gnocchi, with the cannolini bean side dish on top. Wow! I know it's not a dish on the menu? But it should be! The gnocchi are super light and pillowy. The beans were unbelievably tasty and together they made an awesome new dish. My wife did the same with the with the gnocchi and grilled vegetables. My sun had muscles and my daughter had a mushroom and pasta dish. Great staff and awesome food!

    I'm not sure how we ended up at this restaurant, but it was a nice choice. We were skeptical as it was right smack in the touristy area. The wait staff was attentive and helped us choose several dishes. The place was a reasonable size with hand sketch Italian landscapes on the walls. This was beautiful. The food was really tasty. They are known for their meat options. The goal was to try something that we hadn't so far. The standout dish was the Ribollita. Our waiter stated that either people loved it or hate it....well we loved it! The house wine was actually pretty good. Nice evening meal. Don't shy away from this location because it is in the tourist area. Worth a visit.

    An amazing restaurant that you would think is a tourist place but it isn't at all. Really lovely pizzas and pasta. I had the vegetarian pizza and it was fabulous the mushroom tagliateli was perfectly al dente. Bruschetta was flavorful with perfect bread. Service was quick and professional. A treasure of a place.

    Had a wonderful dinner here. Right next to Rialto bridge. Minestrone soup and lasagna was great. House wine and great service. The real deal.

    It is a no frills restaurant that offers authentic Tuscano cuisine that is located right by Ponte Vecchio. The portion of the dishes here are large and tasted good. The owner is very friendly and our family enjoyed dining here. L

    We only went specifically for the pear ravioli (I've had better, but it was good). Located in a very touristy area so it doesn't feel as authentic cuisine.

    We made a reservation ahead of time and came here mostly to try the t bone steak. I should've only ordered the steak and some sides but I think we were too hungry and ordered a full meal, which I would not recommend. We started with the caprese salad and Tuscan tomato soup. The salad was fresh and good. The tomato soup was personally not up my alley. It was a little too chunky and not soupy enough for me. Flavor was very light and slightly bland. The soup was better when I paired it with bread seasoned with oil and vinegar. Next we had the ragu and mushroom pasta. Both were not bad and the pasta itself was yummy, neither were mind blowing. Mushroom pasta was buttery but the mushroom were a little too rubbery and slimey for my taste. The minimum weight for the Florentine steak here is 1.2kg. It was a little over cooked in our opinion but still tender with good flavor. We seasoned it with a little pepper, olive oil and salt. Overall, we felt like the meal was fine but wouldn't come back again/recommend to others to make time for.

    My favorite Florentine!  Do not miss having a meal at Trattoria Ponte Vecchio!

    I've traveled to Florence many times, and must say that the city has some of the best food I've ever tried. I also have to say that Trattoria Ponte Vecchio is far superior to many of the restaurants I've visited while here. I'm currently in Florence for about five weeks taking an Italian course and in that time I must have visited Salvatore and his lovely staff at least 5 times. My favorite dishes are the fiochi and the lasagna. Also, I consider myself to be a tiramisu connoisseur, and they've got the best one I've had so far. If you're in Florence, do NOT miss this culinary experience. Not only will you leave with a happy belly, but you'll be made to feel like part of the family.

    Staff was condescending and rude. The service was passively hostile and apathetic. The food was subpar. Will not be coming back.

There…read morewere only two tings that I didn't like; one of which I don't think the restaurant has much control over. That being said, the first thing was the service. It's rather slow. I don't know if it's slow to me because crazy Americans think everything should be faster than not. So I wish I could give half stars. They are super nice ..,it just took a while to get my order in. The second thing that I don't think they can control is the people who walk around trying to sell you something. They're a bit aggressive. With me looking like them, they beelined for me the two times we sat there near the entrance. So I suggest sitting inside away from that because they can't come in. There is this little cute table that we sat at that is on the edge of the inside but the window is a roll up window giving you access to the outside patio. That is where the can still get to you but can't come all the way in....except this one lady. She stepped all the way in....i was shocked. And got aggressive with me when I told her no thank you. The trick?...they told me "I'm beautiful" "like your natural hair..." and since they liked me, they said "I give to you..." and handed me two bracelets and a fan. I said no thank you and she kept shouting "excuse me...I give to you..." I set them on the table and she gave me the son story of being pregnant and since she give to me, I should give to her for the gift. I said no one final time and she snatched everything off the table and left...FINALLY. Ugh. So not sure if the restaurant can do more but they need to.

We grabbed a bottle of wine on a warmer June afternoon after a day of exploring, which was definitely refreshing. The location isn't much as it overlooks a pretty bare piazza. The service can be a bit on the slower side, especially when I walked in and tried to get the bill. But still if you're able to get a table it's a pretty quaint wine bar. It seemed like they had some flights/tastings, which would have been an interesting option.

    Title: Great wine selection, but disappointing service from our server Noemi…read moreWe visited Enoteca Pitti Gola because it was recommended by Wine Spectator, and the wine list truly is impressive -- an extensive and well-curated selection of Italian wines. We were two couples and went for some wine and light snacks. When we arrived, there wasn't a table available for four, so we had to sit separately. Once a table behind our friends became available, we asked to move so we could sit closer together, but our server, Noemi, wasn't very accommodating and seemed somewhat annoyed by the request. We mentioned that we wanted to share a few dishes and asked about portion sizes, but Noemi didn't explain things clearly and wasn't very friendly. She insisted the plates weren't meant for sharing, which turned out not to be true. The wine itself was excellent, and the snacks were good -- but the overall service from Noemi felt unfriendly and not very customer-oriented. I'd still recommend the place if you're interested in trying great Italian wines, but be aware that the service experience may not match the quality of the wine.

    November 9, 2024 2:30PM…read more It does appear they have two stalls on the same street that you can order from. One side seemed to have more alcohol on display and the side I was on was more sandwich focused, but I'm pretty sure you can order the same things from both windows. Initially I was going to get the 21 - Fresh Sausage and Eggplant because I'm an eggplant lover... the lady at the counter was kind enough to let me know that the fresh sausage is actually rare, uncooked sausage and gave me a small piece to try. I was getting ready to get on a train that day and didn't want something that might not sit well with me, so I moved on to number 27 spicy salami and cream cheese. My partner got the number 1, ham, cream cheese and rocket salad. Both are very good sized and oh so delicious. The line moved quickly, so many options for decision paralysis. This is the place for schiacciate Florentine as recommended from friends who used to live here. Definitely would recommend to study up their menu before coming so it's easier to pick what you want. This is more of a stall and you grab and go, we stood around the sidewalk and inhaled our sandwiches. Watch out for the pigeons getting ready to take your crumbs too, you can see them on the ledge of the building getting ready to attack. A must visit for Florence.

I am an Asian female. ***updated 2025 post- I showed the owner and pointed at my boyfriend who was in line multiple times that we were purchasing food. *** updated 2023 post - Apparently my post was blocked because the owner of the store tried to cover my true experience. Racist owner randomly took my table and chair while I was eating on it to give to a Caucasian European couple. l'm an Asian female by the way. I showed him that my boyfriend was waiting in line to purchase food and constantly assured him we were using them and that we were buying food. He still took my table and chair and said I'll give you another one- to which it down graded to eating off 3 short chairs. I told the European couple that it wasn't fair that the server took our table to give to them and they just smiled and dismissed me. Racism at its finest. Their sandwich is not good. Actually the sandwich shop across the street I' Grone De Ghiotti is way better with service and sandwich taste. Sadly I don't think this post will change the attitude of the owner.
