The ragu pasta was delicious. my friend had the veal steak and thought it could've used some more flavor but was overall solid. I had the potato gnocchi with shaved truffles, although I wouldn't say it was the best pasta I've ever had it was a solid option. Overall would recommend for a good meal and good atmosphere

We had the asparagus salad (which was raw thinly sliced asparagus, tossed in a salad); two pasta dishes - the sage, spinach, and ricotta ravioli (3 empanada-sized raviolis), Florentine ragu; and shared a mid-price-point chianti. I enjoyed the experience and would go again, though my partner felt that the pasta was 'good but not memorable'.

Osteria Pastella was such a beautiful dining experience. The restaurant felt upscale, polished, and…read moreexceptionally clean, while still having a warm and inviting atmosphere. It felt like the perfect spot for a date night or special occasion. The highlight was definitely the flaming truffle cheese wheel pasta--it's easy to see why it's so popular! Watching the pasta being prepared in the cheese wheel made the experience even more fun, and the flavor was incredible. My husband was obsessed. To top it all off, they surprised us with complimentary champagne at them beginning and limoncello shots at the end, which was such a nice touch. Definitely make a reservation ahead of time! The line was literally down the block when we went, so this is clearly a popular spot. Between the food, atmosphere, and thoughtful little touches, it was absolutely worth the visit.

And it seems everyone does looking at the skills in everyone's faces. We ordered the pasta cooked in the parmesan cheese wheel. We had the show and it was great. The fresh truffles were just perfect. The second entree was an order of Pappardelle with a Chianti marinated Tuscan Wild Boar. It was out of this world delicious. No room for dessert but the complimentary limoncello was perfect. Great service. Highly recommend making a reservation...the restaurant was packed at 1:30PM!!!

Happy to say this place is still just as amazing as I remember it almost 10 years ago!…read more A couple of girlfriends and I discovered Pensavo Peggio during our first trip to Italy in 2017, and it quickly became one of the reasons Florence became one of my favorite cities. Back then, I ordered the Osso Buco, Lasagna, and Tiramisu--and I still remembered how incredible everything was. So, of course, when I returned nearly 10 years later, I had to order the same meals... and yes, I said meals! Fabrizio, the same server who took care of me in 2017, asked, "Are you sure you want two dinners?" I told him, "Yes! I want to try them both." Fast-forward to 2026: I walked back in two days ago, reminded Fabrizio of our conversation, and told him I was ordering both again. He immediately started laughing. Some things never change! My boyfriend ordered the pappardelle and instantly fell in love with it. We also shared a delicious cheese and meat platter and, of course, finished with Tiramisu. Nearly 10 years later, Pensavo Peggio still holds a special place in my heart. Highly recommend this cute little spot! It just goes to show that sometimes the best memories--and the best meals--are found when you venture off the beaten path. Some places are simply worth coming back to.

We paid 12E and 15E which were hardly exorbitant. Via dei Bardi has many other places worth exploring (a huge grocery store, two bakeries, etc.).

By the…read moretime we found parking, wandered around for a bit, we were a bit worn out and went to check in at our b&b just outside of the city centre. After checking-in we did not want to find our way back to Firenze so we ate downstairs at the flourescently lit tiny shop where they scraped chicken off the doner. There is definitely no arguments here about pricing 3.50 euro if eaten in sandwich form, and 4 eur in a wrap form. I was gonna share one with my boyfriend, but after he took one bite, he very very reluctantly let me take one, and told me to order my own. A little display fridge that has drinks including beer, it made for a satifying meal They don't have fries except for the 2-3 they thrown in the wrap/sandwich. They also have curry, and chicken,but they didn't look very fresh or appetizing. We wanted to come and eat again before we left, but they don't do breakfast and since we were in a hurry, we were relegated to AutoGrill on the highway stop stations. Had they opened for breakfast, I would have totally eaten that instead :)
