Steak was very undercooked despite waiter confirming it would be cooked medium rare. I know that fiorentine steaks are supposed to be rare, but when I asked if they could cook it more the waiter said medium rare no problem. It then came out rarer than anyone’s around me, which almost seemed intentional, on top of that the side we ordered never came.

This restaurant was recommended to us by friends. A bit pricey but overall a good experience. Impressive food presentation with each course and food was full of flavor. Our fault was in ordering too much (the lasagna would’ve been enough!) and we had to take a 2nd course home. The only negative was in having to eat so late. (Couldn’t get a reservation until 9:30) So if you’re even thinking of going, book way ahead!

Hardest working waiters striving to not only professionally serve your meal but also engage you to have a wonderful experience. Worth every dime and a “manga-to-boot”.

There was a long line to get in despite a reservation. The restaraunt was loud and packed seat to table. The service for us was very poor and our server was unpleasant and not managing our table of just 3. I started to feel nauseous before leaving and I ended up sick and with food poisoning the rest of the night. Not what we were expecting based on reviews and reputation.

This restaurant is fir tourists, but it is great fun! The staff is a lot of fun and their steak florentine is excellent. You go down the stairs to a basement level with lots of rooms. We all ordered starters and some had first courses. We had the steak for 2 and 4 of us had 2 slices each. Our group of 8 shared portions of many dished. Like most steak house, the side dishes were not spectacular, but good. We were all too full for dessert!

Il proprietario ( o colui che pensa di esserlo ) è molto maleducato . Il posto poi è diventato troppo commerciale . Le persone che ci vanno non sono piu’ quelle che ci andavano anni fa . Ci sono tanti altri posti , davvero seri e buoni , che non c’è proprio più bisogno di ritornarci .

Aldo was amazing. He made the experience worth while. He made amazing recommendations and was kind and friendly. Can’t say enough about him. The mashed potatoes were fantastic and the tiramisu was tasty. The steak was very good but very large.

A must visit restaurant during a visit to Florence. The owner greats every gust at the door. Which is amazing as the place is very busy and she also visited our table to make sure everything was perfecto. The staff is very friendly / well trained and knows the menu and wine list very well. Our food was very good. Pasta dishes were very good and well seasoned. Warning meat dishes are very large so consider sharing. Fried squash blossoms were delicious. Our only regret is we had zero room left for dessert. Pricing is at the higher end of the scale for Florence, but we felt the experience was worth the price. Highly recommend.
