Fabulous food, artichoke hearts arugula and gorgonzola cream on bread! Fried zucchini flowers, lamb chops, Florintine tripe, tagliatelle with wild boea sauce, all to die for. Beautiful restaurant and Aldo, our server sang to us again and again. Yes, he was a super-server as well. Oh, great wine list, too!

Important Update:

Quandoo is closing down. This is a planned, phased process and our platform remains available until 30 September 2026.

The food was amazing. We ordered 2 firsts and 2 seconds and were so full we couldn’t touch dessert but the dessert cart looked amazing. Whilst it’s on the more pricey side it was worth it!

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!
