The service was great and we left happy, and this was just our first visit! We came back another time and the experience was even better! We were the last table and chef Lorenzo came out and shared some Amaro with us. All in all it was a great experience great food the nicest of staff and we even left with a gift. We promised to be back in one year and we hope not to break our promise! Thank you Guillerme , Aurora and chef Lorenzo for making our visit so special! See you next year!

My niece and I ate here last night and we loved everything about it. We split a steak Florentine,…read moreGreek salad and a pesto pasta. When I ordered the steak they told me it comes red and with no accompaniments. It is served rare and so flavorful. It was priced by the pound and came to 36 euros and definitely had some leftovers, it is enormous. I suggest ordering with a salad or vegetable. The Greek salad was delicious. My niece said her pesto was the best of her life :) The service was great as well. Nice warm atmosphere. I would love to come back some day.

Ah, another great Tuscan dinner at Trattoria Napoleone. We made reservations online and were…read moreconfirmed through whatsapp. We were seated right away on a couch in a hallway, lol. It was odd, but actually was romantic to be seated by ourselves right next to the fireplace. Our server was very sweet and brought us a bottle of Chianti Classico. Their house Chianti that is their own brand was one of my favorite Chianti's on the whole trip. OMG so good! Then came a complimentary soup in a cute little pot, with an assorted bread basket. We started with prosciutto and burrata and holy cow, both were the best of the trip. The prosciutto was sliced so thin it just melted in your mouth. The burrata tasted like it was made one hour before. Absolutely amazing. For our entrees I ordered the spaghetti with zucchini, zucchini flowers, truffles, and shrimp. My boyfriend ordered the steak and potatoes. We both loved our entrees and even had some leftovers. We tried the "world's best panna cotta" for dessert. We both love panna cotta and loved the texture. It was so decadent. However, it tasted exactly like caramel popcorn. I didn't love the flavor, but probably would have prefered if it had fresh berries or something on top instead. Our waitress here was very sweet. Great food! We would definitely go back!

This is a cute restaurant right near the Ponte Vecchio. We came for dinner and sat indoors at a…read morenice corner table by the window near the front. Our waiter was nice and we both really enjoyed our food. We ordered the caprese salad to share as a starter. My son got this huge calzone that he surprisingly finished. I ordered the filet mignon which was fantastic. The only drawback was that they brought out my son's calzone at the same time as the salad... and my filet (rare) took forever to come out after that (I eventually asked the waiter to check on it). So, for the longest time, my son and I were just waiting for my steak to come out, and then I was eating alone. :/

Our Florence airbnb host was a flake. He didn't show up to meet us as scheduled and when he did…read moreshow up he left us with the wrong set of apartment keys. He was managing upwards of 75 rental units and doing the job poorly. When we found his list of restaurant recommendations in the apartment we were skeptics. Could we rely on this unreliable man to point us towards good food? We could and we did and all was (almost) forgiven. When you sit in Osteria De' Benci for any length of time you'll hear the phrase "welcome back" uttered often. It was said to us on our return visit, several days after our first visit, and I heard it said many more times while there. This is a place whose food and attitude inspires a return visit. A specialty in Florence is a Florentine Steak, here so enormous that the staff brings it out to show you in an "are you sure you want all of this?" gesture. The table beside us on our first night, sisters from Boston, first agreed then rose from the table 5 minutes later to cancel that order. On another night the table of 4 beside us looked satisfied that they'd agreed to share it between the table. As delicious as it looked, I couldn't handle that volume of meat. Instead, we began with a cheese plate which, by volume alone, made us giddy; This could have been a meal in itself. Accompanied by honey and a spicy compote made of red bell pepper and jam (delicious), the offering was glorious but that was only the beginning. Next up was fresh pasta with cherry tomatoes and parmesan. Split evenly between two plates, my son and I could not stop raving about this dish the entirety of our trip. This pasta was so fresh that it tasted unlike any pasta we'd ever before tasted. From there we moved on to a beef dish, perfectly prepared and drizzled with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. This was food of the gods. We knew we must return here. Osteria De' Benci is casual and reasonably priced. Their wait staff are friendly and welcoming. On our second visit, we consumed exactly what we'd had on our first, but my son also ordered something they're supposedly known for, a pasta cooked in red wine. Truthfully, this dish was one-note, didn't excite us at all, and I'd not get it again. Why bother? What we'd already discovered on their menu was pure perfection. We loved this place.

We had a much anticipated lunch here. We stopped by but it was closed. So we started calling to…read moresee if and when they'd be open. After a few days of trying them each evening, one afternoon at lunch time they answered - so we jumped at the opportunity. Probably built up too much for us to accurately review. But it was okay. I had the Eliche del Profeta which had pasta tossed with so much ricotta and olive oil with some herbs, tomatoes, and some other kinds of cheese. It was way too rich. Mr. R had the Spaghetti dell'Ubriacone which is a deep red colored pasta due to being cooked in (or made with?) red wine. He liked it fine, but nothing we'd go back for. Probably too heavy for lunch.

Came here for dinner and enjoyed a delicious dinner and glasses of wine. The Ribollita and the…read morePappa Al Pomodoro were both hearty and comforting which was perfect for the cold weather. The soups were all well prepared and the medley of ingredients were just absolutely enjoyable. It was the first time I tried these traditional Tuscan soups and I'll be looking for more in the future. As for the pork dish (Arista di Maiale), the meat was very tender, savory and so tasty. I chose to get a glass of red wine to enjoy with the meal and I like their model where they bring you a newly opened bottle and only charge you by what you pour. Smart on them since of course I poured myself more than one glass so really it's a win win for both. Reservations are highly recommended and there are no English menus available. Thankfully, one of the staff flagged down another worker who spoke english and was able to walk me through the menu. He was very friendly, helpful and patient. I cannot wait to go back and try the other traditional Florentine dish, the 1kg steak :)
