The gnocchi was good but not what I was expecting. Could be because this one was a mushroom and sausage sauce but was delicious. Can't wait to try the ones with the cheese white sauce or the ones with the red sauce. The gnocchi was good but not too billowy. Definetly worth eating here. The tiramisu was very good and the service excellent.

Husband and I were staying not to far away and…read moresaw this establishment had great reviews even as of this month (May 2023) and decided to have our first dinner in Florence here. Hands down one of the best decisions we've made on our trip to Italy so far!We had made dinner reservations and upon arriving were promptly seated in their back patio along with other patrons who were already dining or waiting for food (excellent sign; see previous review to understand what I'm referencing to) and placed our drink and food orders after having the questions we did have answered by our server Alex. From the moment we sat down at Trattoria de Guicciardini, Alex made us feel so welcome/had a great personally and had such a great sense of humor I don't remember not laughing all evening! You could see he genuinely loved the place he worked for and found out the chef is actually his brother as well. We were able to meet him afterwards to thank him for such an incredible first meal and already plan on being back before heading off to our next destination. We'll 100% make sure to drop by this spot from now on when ever we are in Florence for both the amazing food and staff! : ) 10/10 Recommend!!

The steak was very rare (that's how they traditionally make it there) but it was still really good and juicy and he ate the entire thing. Also, the portions for the prices were amazing. I wish I had another day in Florence just so I could go back there.

I had been…read morewanting to try truffle pasta during my time there and am so glad that we stumbled on this place by surprise. The pasta is homemade, cooked correctly, and perfectly chewy: also, the sauce was perfect. I got the truffle pasta with mushrooms and found that the truffle wasn't too overwhelming and was balanced well with the creaminess of the sauce. A great dish that defined the trip for me! We also got the crostini platter. It had bruschetta, chicken liver pate, mushroom pate, and an olive one. All were delicious, I can see why Florence is known for their crostinis! The mushroom pate really shined for me - it tasted like meat. The staff was friendly and attentive as well. Check this place out whilst shopping and exploring Florence!

I even paid in physical euro and my server couldn't even give me correct change. While I enjoyed the food and would consider coming again, I take it back. Don't get ripped off paying this much for one pizza and still water. -Note: I should've checked the reviews here and on Google before even considering coming here to eat. I only thought to come here unknowingly because I was getting laundry done. In short, I'm disappointed in an establishment that cannot calculate accurate change (even if it's off by a couple cents. Which, really adds up). And, the fact I paid €16.90 when I believe the pizza was about €9.50 that I ordered...

Last night, I went back to Nugolo and was reminded why this was my favorite meal of my trip last time I was in Italy. Perhaps it wasn't the food itself, but the welcoming environment that Nerina & her team have created. You do feel like you are in someones home as the whole team genuinely seems happy you have come in. For example, my boy Kevin was extremely engaging with me and was giving me recs all night for different types of wine and he didn't miss once! You're the man Kevin! I even wrote this short poem about the wine as my 1701 instagram followers got to read yesterday: "4 glasses deep in Firenze how could you knock me, Drunk textin I should probably sue Chianti" ahahaahha man I need to chill, but now onto the food. This will be the most unique and creative meal you will have in Firenze, and I mean that in the best way possible. I love when places treat food as an art, and don't just have the same things on the menu that every other place does. The ingredients they use are all locally sourced, and some even from their home garden as another review mentioned. I ordered Octopus to start, Chitarra Nugolo which is the coolest take on spaghetti I have seen, and the Pork Fillet for the main. Portion sizes were perfect, just like the food. I think since this place is off the beaten path a bit it has yet to be overrun by tourists, so it still has an authentic vibe and energy. I have 8 more days here, but as of now if you could only have one meal in Firenze this is my recommendation!
