We had a groupon voucher for this restaurant so we had a small selection as to what we could order. Was the best value. Food was tasty, wine was fine, service was good. Will go again. More

We just stumbled across this restaurant while walking around Florence, the prices were reasonable so we thought we would give it a go. First off, the food was quite good. Very tasty and reasonably priced. That's about it for the good points. We were sitting outside and the two waiters spent the whole night checking out girls walking past and... More

I really enjoyed the food. I have a gluten intolerance, and they advertise gluten free food. They will adapt dishes for you, and when I went to eat something which had been fried in the same fryer as breaded food, the waiter rushed over to stop me - and offered to make me my own chips. More

We traveled with our two girls (12 and 8) and sat on the welcoming patio for dinner. They were very accomodating and even prepared a dish for our youngest daughter that wasn't on the menu. They were the best pasta dishes we had in Italy. The reason for the rating is we were ignored by the waitors for long periods... More

Steak was tender, flavorful and just what we had hoped for. Enjoyed dessert after dinner.. Great creme brûlée and chocolate cake and our waiter ended our meal perfectly with complimentary limoncello that... More

We recently had dinner at this place which seemed to attract tourists and some locals. One dish on the menu was pasta with oil, garlic, hot peppers and bacon. We ordered it and asked the server if we can have it without the bacon. He said no problem. When the dish arrived it was with bacon and served by another... More

We picked this restaurant for our new years eve dinner and weren't disappointed. The prices were higher for that evening. We are vegetarians and found 2 pasta dishes which we were very happy with. The dessert was delightful as well. The ambience is pleasant, trattoria like and service brisk and efficient. Worth visiting. More

Excellent food and lots to choose from, my husband and I went here during our time in Florence twice (lunch and dinner) and both meals we had were amazing. Staff were very friendly. The lemon sorbet was awesome. The price was reasonable as well. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Florence. More
