I walked in early evening to read and have a glass of wine, and ended up staying for dinner and had friends join. The service was amazing, ambience so calm and relaxing, and the food was some of the best I had in Firenze. The staff were amazing and also gave us great recommendations for local places, and made us feel very at home. If you’re looking for a hospitable local experience, definitely go here!

This restaurant is nothing short of amazing! The food was incredible, and the service was equally as good. Kris, the owner, is an absolute gem, too. So personable and kind. The steak was cooked to perfection, the wine choice was on-point, and the pistachio cake for desert was out is this world. I will eat there again this week, for sure.

Delicious delicious food. Fantastic steak. Had it with peppercorn and mushrooms. Amazing pasta. So good that we came back the next night. That says something special about this place. They offer you a nice Prosecco to start and limoncello on the house to end your meal. Menu available in English And it’s a very professional and courteous establishment. Highly recommended. Not a tourist trap but a hidden gem. You won’t be sorry.

We came for the food, which was fabulous, but were blown away by the excellent service we received at this restaurant. We were treated like VIPs throughout the whole dinner, and everything we ate was top-notch. Highly highly recommend this restaurant! The bistecca and pistachio cake were especially noteworthy.

We were very lucky to have come by this place. My fiancé and I actually passed by the same restaurant closer to the river and it was already prime time dinner and seating filled. However, the manager (De Aldo) was very kind to recommend this one ~10 min walk, and even called ahead to inform of our arrival and offered a generous discount. In fact, we much preferred this location due to more secluded hidden location and less busy, service more attentive. And the service was great! The waiter took his time to explain all of the menu and wine options and was very patient. Now the food was simply amazing - pasta cooked at just the right aldente texture with nice rich and balanced sauce. We are very picky about our steaks and unfortunately find many places disappointing, but this T-bone steak set a new standard for us! Perfect medium rare with nice char and black salt. And finished with the panna cotta with truffle honey and salt which I must say, everything amazing, but this was the cherry on top! Overall, absolutely amazing meal that was the highlight of our time in Florence.
