    Gluten Free Pizza
    Megan O.

    I love that Italy has so many gluten free options! Ciro and sons had the whole menu available gluten free! The gluten free bread that came out to dip in oil was so good that my husband had to ask to double check that it was actually gluten free (it was!). He is not gf but he preferred the gluten free bread! We got a lemon apperol spritz, gf pizza, and risotto. They were tasty, but we wished they had a bit more flavor/seasoning. It's the first and only restaurant in Italy that i've had to add extra salt. The service was amazing. Everyone was so nice and continually checked on how we were doing. It was fun to sit outside and talk with others, it was a chill vibe!

    SO GOOD! The staff is like a family- multiple employees take care of you making sure your meal is enjoyable. Their entire menu can be made gluten free so it's a great place for gluten free people who want some classic Italian pasta or pizza. When bringing out the starter bread they ask if you want gluten free or regular or both. Their food is amazing (gluten free included according to my multiple gf friends). The restaurant decor/atmosphere is so photogenic and fun. When it's warm they have a cute lemon themed place to dine outside.

    Saw this place had great reviews so we came for dinner one night while in Florence. Ambiance inside is bright with an open space and beautiful. Food was decent but we had better meals else where. To be honest the pizza we ordered with the burrata had marinara that seemed a little watery which made the cheese slide off the pie and dough limp. The sausage pizza was tasty but mediocre. This place seems to be popular but I wasn't thrilled with the food. However service was good.

    We had the pleasure of dining at Ciro and Sons tonight and it did not disappoint! The service was top notch from the hostess to the waitstaff. Everyone was very polite, friendly, and attentive. We started with fried calamari which was nice and fresh and lightly breaded. We shared steak Florentine and the rosemary potatoes. The steak was enough for 4 people (over 2 lbs. in American size). We also split a 1/2 bottle of red wine which paired well with the steak. The air was broken but the staff was trying to open windows and bring out fans to help cool us all down. The neatest thing about the restaurant was the frescoes on the wall. They are over 500 years old. The building was owned by the Medici family at one time. Make sure you make reservations if you want to eat here, as it get very crowded!

    EXCELLENT! A must when in Florence. Food was absolutely delicious. We had the Mussel Appetizer, Caprese con Burrata, Octopus carpaccio and Steak Florentine

    Ok second trip to Florence but our 3rd time to Ciro $ Sons. I can not explain how great this place is. Best pasta and best bread in Florence! Also pizza is fantastic. Great staff and amazing owner who has been there working hard all 3 times we have gone. Give it a try you will be very happy!

    Considering some of the good reviews, I assumed this would not be a tourist trap. I was wrong. The restaurant is well maintained, in a prime location, and with quality furniture. But this is the extent of the positive rating. We had a reservation for two and the host was non existent for some time. There was no organized method to check in, and we were massed together with those without reservations. When we did get seated, the waiter was quick to get our drink and food order. We ordered a caprese salad, a daviola pizza, and a portofino pizza. The caprese salad came out within five minutes. The tomatoes and cheese were fresh but salad lacked any olive oil, vinaigrette or any type of seasoning. We waited nearly 45 minutes for the pizza to come out. I would have waited five minutes more if they would have cooked it. The pizza was undercooked with raw dough. The cheese was still cool in the center, the dough and pesto had little to no flavor, and the marinara was bland. A pinch of salt or anything would have went a long way. I barely ate some of the pizza before the waiter took it away. Not once did he ask the food was fine or question why 3/4 of both pizzas were still remaining. (He didn't even ask for a takeaway box - not that I would have opted for it). Overall, disappointing food, disappointing service, all for the grand price of 50 Euro. I do not recommend eating here. Considerando alcune delle buone recensioni, ho pensato che non si trattasse di una trappola per turisti. Mi sbagliavo. Il ristorante è ben tenuto, in una posizione privilegiata e con mobili di qualità. Ma questa è la portata della valutazione positiva. Avevamo prenotato per due e il padrone di casa è stato inesistente per un po' di tempo. Non c'era un metodo organizzato per il check-in e siamo stati ammassati insieme a quelli senza prenotazione. Il cameriere è stato veloce a prendere il nostro ordine di cibo e bevande. Abbiamo ordinato un'insalata caprese, una pizza daviola e una pizza portofino. L'insalata caprese è arrivata entro cinque minuti. I pomodori e il formaggio erano freschi ma l'insalata era priva di olio d'oliva, vinaigrette o qualsiasi tipo di condimento. Abbiamo aspettato quasi 45 minuti perché arrivasse la pizza. Avrei aspettato altri cinque minuti se l'avessero cotta. La pizza era poco cotta con l'impasto crudo. Il formaggio era ancora freddo al centro, l'impasto e il pesto avevano poco o nessun sapore e la marinara era insipida. Un pizzico di sale o qualsiasi cosa sarebbe bastato. Ho mangiato a malapena un po' di pizza prima che il cameriere la portasse via. Non mi ha chiesto nemmeno una volta se andava bene o perché fossero rimasti 3/4 di entrambe le pizze. (Non ha nemmeno chiesto una scatola da asporto, non che io l'avrei scelta). Nel complesso, cibo deludente, servizio deludente, tutto per il prezzo esorbitante di 50 euro. Non consiglio di mangiare qui.

    We left, already planning what to order the next day

    I will rate this place a 5/5 for the food alone but the warm hospitality takes this restaurant to a 100/10. The staff and Giuseppe himself made it feel like we were being welcomed to our own italian family dinner. Very attentive staff and again, emphasizing that the food is top notch. . We had the T-bone, pizza and arrabiata. Don't skip on that lemon sorbet, it's the perfect cap to a lovely dinner. The restaurant is perfectly lit with ambient lighting and still give off a sense of romance. They are very kid friendly and my kids felt like a part of the conversation.

    Olives - free appetizer
    Kimberly F.

    We loved this place, the only thing that sucked was it was so busy that they cram people into the indoor and outdoor areas. Each table is very close together, but it was delicious and worth it. The pizza was the best we have had in Europe and we've been traveling for theee weeks eating pizza almost every day at different places in different cities. The peach Bellinis were delicious!

    Octopus antipasto
    Dia D.

    This was our last meal in Florence and after a week of great eating, this food was disappointing. I had the octopus appetizer and the shrimp risotto and they were both pretty average. They did have a nice outdoor seating area. Service was fine until it was time to pay. I think there was some issue finding the credit card machine. In any case, it took a very long time to pay and leave.

    Spaghetti All'astice aka Lobster Spaghetti...delicious!

    I LOVE this restaurant Appetizer: calamari, light and flakey and delicious. They included vegetable tempura which was a nice surprise Dinner: the lobster spaghetti and the lobster was

    Located in the San Lorenzo district, just a few minutes' walk from the main train station of Santa…read moreMaria Novella), Mercato Centrale is a vibrant food hall experience housed in a historic market building (very similar to the Time Out Market franchise across Europe). From the outside, it looks like a grand, iron-and-glass structure typical of European markets; inside, it opens into a bustling, multi-level space filled with food vendors, communal tables, and constant movement. The vibe is energetic, social, and slightly chaotic in a fun way - perfect for grazing, group dining, or trying multiple cuisines in one visit (from Italian to American to Mexican!). We stopped in for a quick lunch at around 2pm on a Wednesday; there was plenty of seating at high-top tables, and QR codes on paper menus make it easy to explore all the different food vendor options. It's also a fun activity to peruse the market, taking in different sights, smells, and flavors. All of us ended up opting for Schiacciatas (large Italian sandwiches that are a staple in Florence) from Massimiliano Parri, which all ended up ranging from €10-12, depending on toppings - yes, it's more expensive than what you'd get from a traditional schiacciateria, but you're also paying for the market's location and convenience. We appreciated the fact that they shave the meat right in front of you! My schiacciata came with freshly shaved ham atop crusty white bread, slathered with burrata cheese, and sprinkled with arugula and figs (I opted for no additional olive oil, since I found the ham quite rich already). I loved the contrast of textures and flavors, though I will say that the bread ended up cutting the roof of my mouth! All in all, Mercato Centrale is a bit touristy, but still miles better (and cheaper) than most "Italian" sandwich places you'd find in the US (pro tip: save your receipt for free use of their bathrooms). The variety can't be beaten, prices are reasonable for a central market, and it's steps from some of Florence's most iconic spots.
