    Steak & Osobuco (MUST order, he lights the bone marrow on the plate at the table)
    Christiana R.

    Ammalia is a MUST if you're in Florence. We got into town late our first night and everything was closed other than McDonalds and this restaurant. Even though the kitchen was closed the host welcomed us in and we had an amazing first meal in Italy (lasagna, fried burrata, garlic salad) as well as amazing conversation with him. He showed us around the restaurant and shared the fine details and thought processes behind every decision down to the color, the lighting, the menu, live music nights, private dining rooms, etc. We ended up coming back every day during our stay in Florence to try unique drinks made by the boss himself, to chat at the end of the night, and to have our final meal there. Everything is a 100/10 and we're so happy we came upon Elias and his magical establishment, we not only ate good but made a new, great friend! See pics for proof of absolute decadence!

    Ammalia Restaurant & Lounge truly made our birthday celebration unforgettable by staying open late just for us. The food was fantastic--especially the fried mozzarella, tortellini and truffle, which was a highlight of the evening. The owner was incredibly kind and attentive, making us feel right at home, and provided complimentary drinks and desert for the birthday celebration. If you're looking for great food, drinks, and a welcoming atmosphere, Ammalia is the place to be! Highly recommend!

    THIS PLACE IS UNREAL. It's been so long since we enjoyed a meal this much. My husband literally said "this is a meal dreams are made of"

    I only had one bite because my boyfriend inhaled the plate before I can come for a second bite lol For dessert we had the Zuppamisú and the crème brûlée.

    My husband was craving Neapolitan style pizza, so we walked around to find a pizzeria. We found…read moreMister Pizza, which happened to be very close to our hotel. Not going to lie, I was a little bit worried about Mister Pizza being a tourist trap since it was right by the Duomo in Santa Maria Novella Piazza. I even noticed on the menu that they catered to specific dietary preferences such as gluten-free crust and dairy-free cheese. But hey, this was one of the few places I have seen that made a lot of accommodations. We arrived around 8:30pm on a Monday night. The place was busy, but it appeared that people hanging around the entry way were really there for to-go orders. We were able to sit outside with views of the Duomo. Service was fine. Servers were quick and attentive, but the food took a while to come out. That said, the deliciousness of my pizza made up for it. I ordered the quattro formagi and requested it to come with marinara instead of white sauce. I was asked if I wanted burrata, but I didn't realize that it was an upsell. I thought it was going to be in place of the mozzarella, so I technically had 5 kinds of cheeses. My husband and I loved our respective pizzas. I especially enjoyed the bursts of gorgonzola and parmesan that added bursts of unique flavor. The fresh creaminess of the burrata made for a nice pairing with the edge of the crust. Speaking of the crust, it was doughy and fluffy with air pockets. One of the best crusts on a pizza.

    This was hands down the best pizza I've ever had, or will have in my entire life! Don't let the…read morename fool you! This is as authentic as it gets! They cut the pies with scissors and you can drizzle chili oil on your pie to taste. It's right next to 'Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore' so many tourists frequent this location, but it's worth it.

Like many other reviewers have already noted, the service, experience, be food were all spectacular! We tried making a reservation online, but didn't hear a response for a few hours and decided to walk in at 6 pm since we were already hungry. We figured no one eats this early in Italy so it must be empty! We were correct. The place is small so if possible, make a reservation in advance if you are trying to eat at 8 pm like the rest of the locals. We ordered the 2 person steak for 75€ (it comes with 2 sides). The more expensive option has meat, which is apparently more tasty, but I neither my bfs are fans of fatty meat. We got the steak in medium rare, the server suggests that it is usually cooked rare, but can be done medium rare. It should not be cooked more than that. However, after it comes out, if you are still not satisfied, they can cook it some more for you. The meal also came with complimentary bread (not shown), and an appetizer (meat sauce with bread- sooo delicious!). The steak itself was sooo mouthwatering. Very much worth 75€! The plate is edible, but I didn't eat it sooner I was already stuffed from dinner! We also received complimentary dessert (the cup the dessert sits in is biodegradable! What a plus. No plastic waste). Sooo nice of the staff/restaurant to make the experience very memorable! Our waitress was very kind and came to check on us often.
