Description: Osteria Pep�� is a wonderful little bistro minutes away from San Lorenzo central market in Florence. This unassuming Italian restaurant exudes warmth ��� from the friendly welcome, to the traditional Tuscan wood furniture. The atmosphere at Osteria Pepo is different, depending on whether you visit the restaurant by day or night. Lunchtimes are typically rustic; tables are set with placemats. Come evening, a refined romance fills the air as tablecloths are laid and candles lit. Worthy of being described as home cooking, the restaurant Osteria Pepo menu scores highly for its Tuscan appetisers such as marinated herring. Follow with a traditional soup, or a meat dish from the ���From the casserole��� or ���From the frying pan��� sections. Bellissimo desserts are made every day ��� perfect with a glass of sweet Vin Santo.

Just stopped there from a recommendation and the place was so good! We had delicious Gnocci and fried poenta as a starter. Each was perfectly cooked. We then shared an authentic portion of Florentin steak which was enough to serve 6 people. Potatoes and fried vegetables rounded out an superb meal that was appreciated by all. Great house wine and... More

There is a nice seasonal menu that changes daily, taking full advantage of the market just steps away, The restaurant fills up quickly with a nice mix of tourists and locals.

We were recommended this restaurant from our hotel and we were lucky to get dinner without booking. The restaurant has a limited menu of typical Italian and Florentine dishes, predominantly meat (but vegos will find something on the menu with mushroom, tomato or bean dishes), and chianti wines. We had a risotto of the day (porcini) for starters which was... More

Amazing dinner I had just an hour ago - it was that good for me to review it immediately. We had a full meal there from wine to coffee. Complimentary prosecco was pretty good, light and easy to drink as an aperitif. We ordered the Tuscan platter - selection of cheese, prosciutto and salami - one of the best appetizers... More

Upon being seated at our table we were given a complimentatry glass of Processo. We would highly recommend the chicken 'cacciatora' style (the chicken fell off the bone), and the entrcote beef which was cooked to perfection. Medium rare meant medium rare, from the 1st to the last mouthfull. The house red wine was also excellent and great value at... More

Seven of us went for dinner and all really enjoyed the food. We shared mixed anti pasto which was a great selection - not so heavy on the cured meats as other restaurants we tried. Some of us avoid red meat - not that easy to do in Florence- but the alternatives were varied and delicious. One of our party... More
