Best Tuscan restaurant in Italia

R	Royi Sher on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ What a fantastic place! Giovanni himself greeted us and made a table for us even though they were fully committed that evening. Service was fantastic in Italian standards. Food was absolutely delicious. Seafood Pasta was fresh and delightful. Wine was excellent. Just everything top notch. You won’t regret!
L	Lavinia Palanciuc on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Excellent food (and we have different dishes between the five of us, all was great) and also excellent service. Would definitely visit again if in Firenze.
B	B T on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We came here to celebrate a few special occasions while on our trip and it ended up being the perfect place. We did make a reservation in advance, showed up on time and were seated promptly in a nice quiet back room. From wine, to appetizers (fried bread), to some of the best pasta and meats we had all trip, and lastly a multi round dessert course for the ages, all delicious. Giovanni has a wonderful restaurant and staff, and he graciously went way over the top to make sure the night was memorable.
S	Sharon Bao on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I LOVED this place. The food and service was 10/10. They served us fried dough to start, which I liked way more than I expected. The server knew that we wanted to have steak florentine and were concerned that we would have too much food if we ordered appetizers, but he was nice enough to do half portions so we could enjoy the main dish. The steak was phenomenal. Cooked so well, but beware if you're not a fan of bloody meat. Once we were finished the staff let us take our time to enjoy the rest of the food. They even brought us a small dessert and taste of limoncello on the house.
S	Sivaram Chandrakumaran on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We arrived extremely late to the hotel in the centre of Florence and struggled to find somewhere with the kitchen open. We found this gem on google maps and rushed to see if the kitchen was open. The waiter told us if we order quickly then we could eat and we were extremely happy. He recommended the Florentine T Bone and suggested a great bottle of red wine. The meat was juicy and delicious. It melted in our mouths and went well with the potato side. I would highly recommend and would go again. The service was great and they went over and beyond. They gave us an on the house starter and some sweet wine and snacks at the end. All in all fantastic!
N	Nick Bugbee on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The best food we have had in Italy (Capri, Positano, Rome, Florence tour)! Upon entering, we were greeted nicely by an older gentleman who showed us to our table. The restaurant was full and everyone’s food looked delightful. Their table side bread was unlike any other restaurant in Italy, perfectly crisp, fried puffs of deliciousness. If these were served after dinner, they could have been the dessert with a little honey or powdered sugar. Next the server helped us select our wine based on what we told him we liked and he was spot on. Our first dish was the Pici Al Sugo Di Salsiccia E Cavolo Nero, which was the very best pasta dish we have had. The noodles were a great texture and consistency, the sausage was fantastic, but the sauce was unbelievable. Next came our steak, cooked medium rare, pre cut and it was like eating little slices of heaven. The texture was consistent and tender all the way through. Not one bad bite in the whole steak. Next, they give you a cold gelato type dessert which cleansed the palette, service with dessert bread that went well with our espresso. Finally, the tiramisu arrived and it was the icing on the cake! We finished our bottle of wine and the server brought us lemoncello! Every bite of food we had here was unbelievable to our taste buds and left us craving more so much so that we booked another reservation and will eat here again! 12/10 this place is great. We asked several locals about their favorite place to eat and they all mentioned this place in their top selection.
M	Maria on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ One of the nicest and authenic Tuscan restaurants in Florence we have been. The service is amazing and the food is really good plus a good selection of wine. There are a lot of tables but it’s good to have a reservation in advance. The owner Giovanni is greeting everyone in the restaurant and make sure everybody is happy. Definitely worth a visit when jn Florence.
S	Steffan Chartrand on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We were visiting from San Francisco for our honeymoon. This was the first meal of our first night in Italy for a 3 week trip and it did not disappoint. We ordered two pasta dishes and the flavors and texture were both excellent. We finished with a dessert wine and they were nice enough to provide us with biscoti on the house. We would certainly come back again :)
