    The menu at Gangnam had a little something for everyone. We went at lunch time and there was no…read morewait and no requirement to order off the BBQ menu, their kimchi is solid. They have decent versions of the go to Korean dishes like kimbap, ddukbokki and Korean cold noodles aka nengmyun. If you are craving Korean food after a week of Italian food, this is the place to be.

    I am incredibly disappointed with our experience at Gangnam Ristorante Coreano, which completely…read moreruined what should have been a special high school graduation celebration for my son.The moment we walked in, the staff was entirely unwelcoming. They immediately cornered us to ask if we had a reservation, yet we watched them let other customers pass through the door right after us without asking them the same question. The waitresses seemed completely bored and visibly bothered whenever we asked for service. In fact, when we asked for assistance, the waitress seemed irritated. It was incredibly disrespectful and unprofessional.Unfortunately, the food did not make up for the toxic attitude. The beef was incredibly tough, and the rest of the meal lacked flavor--likely because the hostile atmosphere ruined any chance of enjoying it. On a hot evening, the only thing welcoming about this place was the air conditioner. The air was cold, and the service was even colder.I will never go back to this establishment, not even for a glass of water. I strongly recommend looking elsewhere if you want a warm, respectful, and pleasant dining experience in Florence.

    Okay, I preface this review with I don't think the restaurant was made to serve foreigners…read more(especially Americans). It's a themed restaurant that sells burgers, chicken, steak, salads, fries, etc. Basic American food. There's not many places in Italy where this kind of food is served. The food isn't very good. The burger I ordered was dry and I'm sure the meat had bread (bread crumbs or like) added to it. The fries were ok. A little too salty. The desert was fairly plain. Tasted if purchased from a supermarket frozen section. The staff was good. They were friendly and helpful. Young people in their late teens and early twenties. There's games inside and an old west theme. For locals, this place may fit the bill for a taste of burgers and fries. Change of pace from Italian food. Unfortunately they aren't getting a good representation of American food. And for Americans visiting, I would recommend sticking to the numerous Italian restaurant choices available in Florence. You can always get a good burger and fries when you get back home.

    I have been here a few times in the last few years. Being from Texas I was immediately drawn to the…read morename and "vibe" of the place. The food is ok. I don't think it is stellar but I also think they do an allright job. One really cool aspect is that they give you peanuts to shell and leave on the floor/table just like they do in Texas at some restaurants. They have mostly tex-mex options, from ribs, nachos, burgers, wraps to Italian food. Their burgers are pretty good, I really enjoyed mine the last time. I think their nachos are just ok, but I will admit that the only place you will get close to perfect nachos is at Hard Rock caffe in the center. I recommend ordering the chicken wrap which is a perfect size and served with chips and beans. perfect for lunch. enjoy!

    I can confirm what has already been posted here. Yes, it is hard to find (look for the Hausbrandt…read moresign, see pic). Yes, there is in fact a grandma cooking the food (just as Jeff J. said, two in fact). Yes, the food is amazing. Maybe the reason this place is so hard to find is that it is a hidden gem that feels so authentic that you only hear whispers about it. But it is real folks. We started our meal with the fried polenta with ragu. The combination is a meal in itself. You can tell the ragu was fresh and well made because you could see the chunky bits of garlic, mushrooms and meat. The next course was the lasgna. It was rich with the ragu and ricotta. The noodles tasted homemade. It was a delicious dish blessed by a nonna. The last course was the steak Florentine. You can order it by weight. My conversion math may have been off because we got a HUGE cut of porterhouse. But it was absolutely tender and delicious. We enjoyed this delight to the bone. The service was exceptional. We were the only non-Italian folks in the restaurant but we were treated like family. I will also add that while I enjoyed our food selection, I noticed that the pizzas and pork/veal shank were also very popular and looked incredibly appetizing. My only regret is that we found this gem of a restaurant on our last night in Barga. I wish I had more time to taste more of the menu. The family owns another restaurant in Lucca (la Donna Clara) and one that's 3 km away that does seafood.

    Writing this review is ridiculously painful because figuring out how we got there and its address…read morewas impossible. Their "webpage" is on Facebook, but their address on Facebook is inaccurate (stating that it's in Lucca city). On the receipt, there are two addresses, their page on TripAdvisor is matches one of the address on the receipt. When I put down the address here, the location on Yelp doesnt seem right. I tried to Google Map this place, but street images were taken in 2011, and this place wasnt opened yet. Long story short, we were driving down from Renaissance Tuscany Il ciocco resort on the SP20 looking for a restaurant, and happened to turn into this one off the side. It seemed like a traditional Italian restaurant you see on TV with cozy red chequered table cloths, a wood fire oven, and ladies behind the counter busy making pizza and pasta for you. We ordered a 4 seasons pizza (6EUR) and a personal sized lasagna (8EUR) - both of which came out of the wood oven! It was so delicious. We came in just before noon and there was only one other table filled but as we were leaving this place filled almost to the max and when we were driving out, people were waiting for our parking spot! WIth a beer and capuccion, our total was only 18.50 for too and we were so full.We really felt it was traditional Italian home cooking - awesome comfort food. We are still wishing to go back!
