    Homemade cheesecake with berries
    Audrey L.

    Our hotel recommended this place and booked us a reservation! We ordered the squash blossoms which comes as a side. For the table we ordered the cheeses with fig jam and a liter of Chianti Classico. I wanted something authentic to Tuscany or Florence so I opted for the pappa al pomodoro which I really liked. I also ordered a side of roasted potatoes. Such a cute spot to enjoy dinner!

    Chicken with lemon
    Cindy R.

    I decided to stop at this place because it had a nice outdoor area. I had to wait about 5 minutes and was seated inside at the end of a long table with another couple. The interior was very large with beautiful buttress brick. I ordered the chicken with lemon (€16) and a house mixed salad with tomato, cheese, & olives (€8) and a glass of Chardonnay (€6). The wine was nice but I was disappointed in my meal. The chicken came out as chunks (that had a little flouring on it when cooked) with very little sauce and 2 slices of lemon. The salad greens were bitter and more yellow in color than green. In hindsight, I wished I had gotten one of their pasta dishes. Looking around me at other plates served, those were much more appealing looking. Total bill (which included €2 coperti + €3 for water) = €35 (~$41USD)

    Tripp and pici
    Eric W.

    If you are staying north of the river, I highly suggest heading south just to be a bit further away from all the touristy spots. And Ristoro di' Cambi is perfect set up for that. There are some tourists, sure, but also a nice mix of locals too. What caught my eyes were the unusual dishes on the menu that I didn't think was catered to tourists. So.... That got us there. The service is good, our waitress was attentive and helpful. Family of 4 ordered 3 dishes to share. One primi (the pici), 2 secondi: trippa (tripe) and florentine steak. All very well prepared and the place is well priced. Be mindful restaurants in the area will charge €2-3 seating fee. Regardless of what you meat read, I don't know you can avoid it in this area. This one charges €2. We will be back again if we are in the area!

    penne with tomato sauce, burrata, and basil

    I got the penne with tomato sauce, burrata, and basil and this was by far my favorite meal of my trip! The burrata was so yum and the tomato sauce was perfect. 10/10

    What a welcomed surprise. Food was excellent. I ordered the rolled rosemary roast pork with side of spinach which was excellent. Nephew got the occobucco which was also well done. Ravioli was fresh, eggplant parm was tender and well prepared and delicious. The cheese and fig app and the tomato/mozzarella app were also good. The service was best we've had in Italy since being here 6 days. Attentive and surprisingly fast with food and drink. Service with a smile was appreciated after a long day. The atmosphere and ambiance was also nicely done in Florentino style decor. Thank you for an amazing dinner and I highly recommend it. Price was also fair at $550 Euros for 11 people drinking wine and apps /dinner. Very fair

    I've been coming here couple of years for over a decade. The food is always amazing and service has been good. Be sure to try the lardo!

    Florentine steak & roasted potatoes
    Maggie A.

    So so happy this was one of our meals while in Florence. It was recommended to us as the "very best amazing steak" served specifically here. As a medium steak girl, I was a little hesitant on the rare cooking style, but it was delicious. We had the steak, along with a side of roasted potatoes. We did order a side salad, but honestly didn't touch it once the other food came. We had originally planned on ordering the steak and a pasta (why not when in Italy) and our server essentially told us that no one orders the pasta. Two of us were able to split everything and it was more than enough. Over the meat, a sprinkle of sea salt, black pepper & a drizzle of olive oil was heavenly. Staff was a little overwhelmed but very very friendly. Definitely doesn't compare to the fresh pasta & pizza that you can get throughout Italy, but if you're looking to experience a Florence classic, this is definitely the way to go.

    Steak Florentine

    Very local non tourist spot. Didn't hear any English spoken from other diners as full on a Tuesday night. Good wine menu. Attentive service and nice ambiance but when full can get loud. Why four stars? Well the Florentine steak was just pretty good ( I'm comparing to what you would get in a NY steak house). Had to send it back when it arrived very under cooked (asked for medium and came out rare). Roasted potatoes and tiramisu were excellent.

    Local bottle of Chianti

    All'Antico Ristoro di Cambi is a traditional Tuscan trattoria that opened in Florence, Italy in 1950. It was founded by brothers Silvano and Bruno Cambi. Originally opened as a simple fiaschetteria (wine shop), they had a small kitchen which served honest food to go along with the straw-covered bottles of Chianti. Although they expanded over the years, the place is still owned by the Cambi Family. They serve some of the best authentic Florentine dishes, steeped in a history of family recipes. My wife and I visited All'Antico Ristoro di Cambi during our honeymoon in 2018. We had heard about the establishment through the Rick Steves guide book. It was advertised as a local hot spot on the south side of the Arno River, away from all of the places crowded with tourists. When we sat down at our table, we were happy to see that the menu was on a freshly printed piece of paper in one language (Italian). This means that all of the dishes are made with ingredients that were brought in fresh that day. For our antipasto, we started out with a plate of Prosciutto and Bocconcini di Buffala (Buffalo Mozzarella cheese balls). For our entrees, I was on the hunt for a traditional Florentine steak. Florence is very well-known for their Bistecca alla Fiorentina, usually made with Chianina Beef (a Tuscan breed of cattle that is prized for its culinary value). The steaks are sold by weight. Our server even brought out the raw steak to our table and waited for me to give him a thumbs up. When Florentines cook their steak, the outside is charred from the heat of the coals, but the inside remains rare as can be. It is then salted after it comes off the grill so it doesn't try out and arrives at the table glistening from a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil and hit with freshly cracked black pepper. I ordered a side of sautéed spinach to go with mine. It was the single greatest steak I've ever eaten! My wife is not the biggest steak lover, so she ordered some Stuffed Zucchini Flowers as her entree. To drink, we ordered a delicious local bottle of Chianti. The restaurant had one of the largest wine selections I had ever seen. In Florence, pairing Chianina Beef with Chianti Wine is considered a "good marriage". The following day, my wife and I were on a Chianti wine tour. Our tour guide asked if we were planning on going to a Florentine steakhouse. When we told him that we went to All'Antico Ristoro di Cambi, he slowly smirked and said, "Ahhhhhhh... someone told you about that place!"

    Happy to say this place is still just as amazing as I remember it almost 10 years ago!…read more A couple of girlfriends and I discovered Pensavo Peggio during our first trip to Italy in 2017, and it quickly became one of the reasons Florence became one of my favorite cities. Back then, I ordered the Osso Buco, Lasagna, and Tiramisu--and I still remembered how incredible everything was. So, of course, when I returned nearly 10 years later, I had to order the same meals... and yes, I said meals! Fabrizio, the same server who took care of me in 2017, asked, "Are you sure you want two dinners?" I told him, "Yes! I want to try them both." Fast-forward to 2026: I walked back in two days ago, reminded Fabrizio of our conversation, and told him I was ordering both again. He immediately started laughing. Some things never change! My boyfriend ordered the pappardelle and instantly fell in love with it. We also shared a delicious cheese and meat platter and, of course, finished with Tiramisu. Nearly 10 years later, Pensavo Peggio still holds a special place in my heart. Highly recommend this cute little spot! It just goes to show that sometimes the best memories--and the best meals--are found when you venture off the beaten path. Some places are simply worth coming back to.

As we switched our plates back and forth, I kept looking forward to the next bite of this dish. This indicates that quality of this dish alone. Paired with the Pino Grigio, wow... combination hit all the notes. Service was exceptional. While we did come 1.5hours before closing and noticed the tires looked on the staffs, they were such a trooper and carried on as it was their mission. Such dedication to their craft is commendable. Interior is quaintly decorated with rustic charm. White table cloth service elevated this establishment quite well. Paired with great food, service, and charm... this is an exceptional restaurant. Great job team. You guys are amazing!

Cousin ordered the Ricotta and Spinach Ravioli and I ordered the Fried Chicken and Zucchini (thought this would have been an entirely different and more filling dish as it was the MAIN course). The second it arrived I was visibly disappointed, a chicken karaage dupe paired with battered zucchini fries (22€). Not a single lemon or sauce pairing with the fried dish (at this moment convinced that it's a country wide business model to sell water and wine). Chicken itself was juicy and decently seasoned, good but definitely not worth the price nor the wait, zucchini fries fall short to a traditional Japanese tempura. Had a bite of the ravioli and thought the sauce was good but not outstanding, mainly a cheese and spinach dish, I think it's bold to charge 17€ for 5 ravioli. Besides the food, the service and ambiance were standard, big fans of Madonna and 2000s American pop music in the background.

    Looking for a place to eat, found this gem and realized I wanted to try it. Everyone had told us…read moredinner reservations were a MUST here, but didn't think about it. Not many places actually have yelp reviews, but this one had so many with great feedback. The food looked amazing. When we arrived we thought they were closed, but that is because they moved to a bigger restaurant a few doors down. When we arrived at the front, the gentleman asked if we had reservations, which we didn't. He directed us to the line with no reservations. The line was a bit long, but doubled in size almost immediately. It also started pouring rain during this time and we were ALL getting drenched even with an umbrella. The non reservation line was not really moving unless people left the line. We waited a good hour. As we inched closer and closer, the lines were now both outrageous and getting seated seemed like a distant memory. The staff came out and gave out Sangria and Bread bites to help those in line feel welcome. We did finally get seated and we were so glad we waited, it was worth it! We ordered the Spaghetti Carbonara, the lobster spaghettini and the chicken breast with roasted potatoes. We also ordered sangria. Everything was so good and our total was 83 €. Prices were unbelievable! We were amazed at the quality, the service and how large the restaurant they relocated to was. It was like a well oiled machine. The food coming out quickly and efficiently. I will 100% be back if I return to Florence!
