Located near Florence's attractions in the city center, this restaurant provides a nice respite for tourists and locals looking for a quick bite--the tasty food came at an amazing value, though the service seemed a bit standoffish.

As we walked by, we noticed some of their employees inside so we asked if we could make a reservation for dinner for 6pm or 6;30pm. They recommended 6pm and took my name. We arrived promptly at 6pm and were the 2nd table seated. I'm so glad we came early. Over the next few nights we noticed so many people waiting outside all night long. I will tell you that my branzino was amazing. Fresh and cooked perfectly. I really enjoyed my healthy meal and I don't mind deboning a whole fish myself. My daughter had the linguine with clams which was also very delicious. My son had the pesto lasagna which was so-so. We were expecting red sauce bolognese so it could just be that we just had different expectations. He also ordered the steak and enjoyed it. My husband had the fruitti de mare and thought it was just okay. Something to know is that because they are so busy with so many people waiting, they like you to order everything together. We noticed a server who got frustrated with another table who tried to order apps, and then tried to order the main meals after they finished them, then dessert. These employees are hustling and trying to turn tables, as you see the queue outside waiting. It's a tiny cozy restaurant with a lot of demand. I would recommend this place for certain dishes, especially the fresh fish.

This is basically the new generation of "classic" Bologna restaurants. You'll find all the classics/favorites - gramigna, passatelli, tortellini/brodo, etc. - done extremely well, and fighting for attention with each other. The staff is, as expected, helpful, the wine list is quite good, and the mascarpone is off the charts (seriously). The bottom line here is that this is as good as anything else you're likely to find, and a heck of a lot more affordable to boot. Sooo, go!

Super nice staff greeted us when we walked in, and the interior looks small but inviting. We ended up ordering carryout (or, "takeaway," as they say here), and the food was a pleasant surprise. The Greek salad doesn't have lettuce, but the tomatoes, feta, capers, olives, onions, etc. are very fresh and delicious. The tsatsiki is creamy and tart, and is a a excellent complement to the Greek chicken souvlaki. And...the souvlaki is so flavorful and so fresh, that it was a unanimous hit. If you are in the mood for something other than pasta, give this place a try!

The eggplant dish was the best I've ever had in my life - and I'm 54. The service was excellent and our friendly, helpful waitress was fluent in English and generous in answering our questions. The front of the restaurant has a countertop and is brightly lit, but the main seating patio in the back is quiet, pleasantly dark, and small but roomy (there is plenty of space between the tables which we found was not often the case in crowded Florence). I highly recommend this hidden gem!

Arguably the Best Restaurant in San Terenzo/Lerici…read more San Terenzo and Lerici have several very good restaurants but this is arguably the best, and relatives who live several months in San Terenzo selected it for my wife's birthday dinner. The owner, Maurizio, is very welcoming and passionate about the seafood, which is especially fresh and well prepared. We just selected what he recommended, which was excellent. Appetizers, pasta, and dessert were wonderful. Our top meal in a two week trip in Italy.

I thought it was the best meal we had in Italy. From the ambiance (old Verona comes trough in a…read moretrendy contemporary setting) There is nothing touristy about this place, the staff doesn't even speak English very well but it's not going to affect your meal. You just entered a fairytale of dining experience their state of the art kitchen is lit up in red and opened to the dinning room with its plating station facing the guests... You can see fabulous dishes being assembled, watch their chef whip out some final details and be amazed! Again I am shocked with their outstanding (especially for Europe) service, one dish we ordered required extra time so they sent a complimentary appetizer to keep us "busy" I recommended strongly to order an appetizer with a crazy name "egg" I want to say it was the best thing that ever happened to my tastebuds- I still don't know what I ate but it was a culinary explosive... I still crave today months later If you are in Venice- this experience is equally as important as St Marco Basilica if not more :)

We were struggling to choose a pizza because everything sounded so good and the chef said don't worry about it I will make you my special. This turned out to be three pizzas in one so we could try some variety. All three were excellent but the 3 cheese with grape tomatoes was my favorite. They cook the pizza in a wood fired oven right in the dinning room which is fun to watch and smells great. They made us feel part of the family which made for a complete Italian experience not just a meal. This is a must for anyone in Maranello.
