Favorite restaurant in Florence. We go back whenever we go back! The Tomahawk Steaks ...the grilled potatoes ...get some savory veggies & dessert and don't forget about the Limoncello, Bernolino and grappa. Generous pours on the digestives because after that delicious meal, you're gonna need digestives. An Amazing restaurant! Returning there feels like going home for a celebration. A MUST TRY! Buon Apetito!

The food and service were outstanding, and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and history of the wine windows. I purchased a book about them and visited all the wine windows in Florence, which made for a very memorable experience. One tip: always make a reservation before heading to this restaurant, as walk-ins are very limited.

We didn't have a reservation and knew it was a gamble, but we showed up as they opened at 7pm on the coldest night of the year, so far, and they had mercy on us. Our 2.5 hour dinner was amazing! The waiters are very engaging without being gimmicky. Their food recommendations were on point, as well. We aren't drinkers so we didn't have wine, but we noticed other guests were happy with their wine recommendations. For portion-size perspective, my husband and I shared all the dishes. There is no way I could eat all this myself. We stared with the Pear and Peccorino salad, which was divine. The sweetness of the pear with the rather mild Peccorino and the bitterness of the spring mix was just perfect. I almost ordered a second one. We also had the grilled filet, medium rare as recommended, and it was very tasty. The roasted potatoes we ordered as a side were simple and amazing. They were so soft and creamy inside and crispy outside. The highlight of the evening was their special pasta. It's a thick spaghetti prepared tabelside by tossing in a Peccorino cheese wheel, with fresh black truffles. My experience with truffles have all been dried, in oil, and likely fake, so I was worried it would be overpowering, but my fears were unfounded. The pasta was perfect! It was decadent without being heavy in my stomach. The flavor was delightfully balanced. I would eat it again in a heartbeat. I highly recommend this dish for both the experience and the taste. We finished with the vanilla gelato, also prepared table-side, made with liquid nitrogen. It was a nice touch, and a fun experience. The gelato itself was so light and airy and just perfectly sweet. The space is really small, and they don't turn tables quickly, so make a reservation for sure. We just happened to get lucky and get in without one. When we left, there were people waiting outside in the freezing cold...

Hubby and I celebrated our anniversary here. We had a reservation ahead of time online, which was a bit odd of a process b/c you sign up, but they'll confirm 48 hours in advance, so it was kinda up in the air for a couple days. But they did confirm the reservation via email. We were there on Halloween, 10/31/2024, and I guess dinner time we picked was not their peak time, good for us b/c then we saw some folks walk-in and were seated right away. I would rather have had a reservation than chance it. Initially, we were sat at a table in the back room which felt a bit cramped for me with no air circulation back there. We were also sorta near the restroom, but not the closest table to the restroom. It just felt a bit too claustrophobic back there. Our server was very kind and friendly and offered us his menu recommendations. Unfortunately, I just didn't like where we were sat when there were a few tables available in the front room. Our server was kind and moved us tables, but sadly that meant we also got a different server :( but he assured us he'd take care of us lol and he told our new server that we were celebrating our anniversary. Idk why they didn't just seat us in the front room where there was more space but whatevs. I got their bleu cheese pasta, and it was amazing. the bleu cheese sauce was soooooo yummy. Recommendation from server #1. hubby got their gnocchi (also recommended dish) and not only was it the most beautiful and eye appealing gnocchi I've ever seen, but it also tasted amazing. I had gnocchi once before and I didn't like it but this one was delicious and melted in your mouth. At the end, our server brought us a "love dessert" for our anniversary which I thought was kind and sweet. We were sat kinda at the front, and so b/c it was Halloween, it was fun to see kids in costume pop into the restaurant and the staff had a bowl of candy ready for the kids. That seemed to be a thing for businesses to have a bowl of candy ready as we saw many kids around popping into other businesses. The most trippyyyy thing happened. Like I'm a big believer in signs, like a serendipity type of thing. So the new table we were sat at was against the wall, and hubby and I sat across from each other, and there were a couple prints on the wall, one next to him, and one next to me and looked like both were from the same artist but we didn't really pay too much attention. Tell me why mid way through our meal, I took a closer look at the art work next to me and it had the artist's last name in the corner of the print. and it was the same as OUR LAST NAME. I couldn't believe my eyes , like was this for real, What are the chances, I thought my eyes were playing tricks b/c how random was that. I didn't expect to see a Spanish last name in an Italian restaurant. I told Hubby, look!!! and then he looked at the one next to him, and it also had our last name in the corner. Of all the tables in the restaurant that they could've re-sat us at, it had to be that one, and that art work was placed there. We asked our server about the art work and he said the artist was French. I kinda tilted my head sideways b/c our last name isn't French but I figured maybe the artist was a French lady and she changed her last name. But then I looked up those paintings to find out more about them. The paintings were French inspired, by a Mexican artist, and what we saw were prints. Talk about coincidence though! Overall, we had a great anniversary dinner.

The best meal I had in Florence! This place came highly recommended, my friends have been here multiple times and were able to get us a reservation for our large party. Everything we ate was amazing, but the steak is a standout. It literally melts in your mouth. The servers were great and very engaging. We added our names to a couple pieces of wood in the hallway. Afterwards we got a free bottle of limoncello which was very nice, but too sweet for me. This place will not disappoint!

Best pasta in town. Recommended by a cardinal (or a Padre?). They get their cheese fresh, real fresh (the cheese maker is making the cheese 2am the day of!) Greer wine selection. And of course the Florentino steak is great The atmosphere is 5-star. All the employees work so well together and work for the customers satisfaction

This is definitely a super popular spot in Florence. I would recommend to make reservations for dinner otherwise seems like they may just turn you away. For lunch they do accept walk-ins although reservations are still encouraged. We came in around 12:30 for lunch and were seated immediately. It was packed by 1:00. My wife and I ordered a variety of pastas and salads. Our personal favorite was the gnocchi. Super creamy yet very light. The pici special was good, but I did think the whole pasta being made inside the cheese wheel is a bit gimmicky. The risotto I thought was maybe a bit overcooked, but flavors were excellent and I thought the shrimp was great. The two salads were also delicious. Both were super fresh and a great way to cut through the richness of the pastas. The space is fairly small and cramped given how popular it is. That being said, didn't feel too claustrophobic. Mostly just lively. I do wish we got the steak here, but since we already had one the day before it was purely a pasta experience. Service was very friendly. They definitely know how to work the tourist audience. Overall it was a fun experience and I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Florence!

For out last night in Firenze meal we chose La Buchetta. It was a great choice with exquisite decor inside and wonderful food and friendly service. We had to go here to try the infamous Pici Special which is pasta prepared tableside with a cheese sauce inside of a Pecorino Cheese wheel. My wife and I shared this dish. So much cheese! Delicious! My daughter chose the Ricotta Cheese and Spinach stuffed ravioli with a blue cheese sauce and caramelized shallots and fried sage. I tasted this and it was wonderful as well. Along with a Negroni (created here in Firenze!) and a few other drinks, and a pistachio cannoli with espressos for dessert, we had an excellent time here at La Buchetta. The decor inside is very well done with over 5,000 corks creating an immense arched doorway and other artwork around the interior. We were told each cork was from a wine bottle opened at La Buchetta. Pretty impressive! Give this place a try!

Dinner here will be the meal your family will talk about for years to come. It lives up to all the hype! FANTASTICO!! My husband and 2 boys shared a 47oz steak. They bring you a huge cut of meat and measure it in front of you for approval on the meat. It was outstanding, as was the gnocchi! OMG. I would go just for that and the spinach pasta pillows. The service was first class and our waiter truly made the entire experience memorable. He was extremely educational and passionate about the food. This was an excellent recommendation and I shall pay it forward!
