My partner and I are budget travelers. Having traveled in different European cities in the past week and eating overpriced , not very appealing food.. we thought that this place was fabulous and wallet-friendly! The food may be simple (pasta, meat, salad/fries) BUT for the price 12euros for 3 solid courses+drink/wine is probably the cheapest and most delicious meal we... More

Lunch for 11.50 Euros including wine, water and bread. The food is surprisingly nice. I had ravioli with pesto and it was one of nicest pastas I had all week. The staff were very patient explaining the menu in english. You aren't encouraged to linger but it is very popular and the tables are in demand. More

This place must have one of the best quality-price ratio in Florence. The daily menu at 13 euros for dinner is great and offers a lot of choices. The ambiance is also something to stop for. However, I would avoid the tiramisu for desert, which they cover with cheap pieces of chocolate instead of cocoa. And if you're looking for... More

Not a fancy place but a great local place with good home cooking. The simple style makes it more like an Osteria than a Trattoria. Set menu with wine and water for 11,50 with many varieties. Very busy, but still very efficient. We loved it. More

Read the reviews and, was a little sceptical when we found it. So wrong - do not be deceived by appearances. The menu was varied and, the food excellent. Service very efficient however, I would skip the tiramisu - choclate sprinkes are good for the kids - not the the adults. Worth making the trip to find. Good food at... More

Sometimes the price you pay doesn't matter as long as the food is good. This little restaurant serves delicious food at very affordable prices. We will certainly be back!!! More

Read about this place on Trip Advisor and was really looking forward to going there as I love eating in basic local restaurants where the food is authentic and good. Wasn't full with locals the evening we went, but full of tourists, who I have to say were treated with a fair amount of distain. They got our first course... More
