    Lasagna 06.10.23
    Juan M.

    I've been on Italy for about a week now and so far Mamma Napoli has provided the best service. It's top notch. And the lasagna was, ad the kids say, on point. So far my favorite lasagna. Mamma Napoli should definitely be on your list to eat at.

    Yeah, the calzone was great, but that's not why we fell totally in love with this place. We were in Florence for 3 nights and went there every single day. What makes it so outstanding was the people. From the moment we were greeted by Mauricio's ever, yet genuinely, smiling face, we felt like old friends. I've never met a guy who loved what he did as much as him. You could tell that serving his customers to a great time , is his jam. We were compelled to come back time and again, for dinner, lunch and just a great bottle (or 2) of wine and apps. Mauricio introduced us to his wife, the chef, his awesome son, David, the owner, Mama, and some fantastic cheeses to pair with equally fantastic wines that we had never before experienced. Rarely has a dining experience been so much fun. And YES, the meals were delicioso!

    Outside seating, misters and shade - super comfortable

    Amazing food and service. We had the pizza that has the cheese in the crust with prosciutto and spicy salami. Best pizza I've ever had. The vino rosso is amazing as well. We also had the Nutella donuts and a limoncello. Bravissimo! I shall be back soon.

    We stopped here on a whim on our first night in Florence after a long day of travel and were not disappointed! Our pizzas were delicious, filling and exactly what we were looking for in that moment.

    We had the most amazing experience at Mamma Napoli! We had a refreshing local Rose, fresh octopus appetizer, gnnochi, Ravioli, and dessert! Service was amazing and so hospitable. Ask for Maritzo!

    Inside is simple food is great!

    Gorgonzola ravioli, lasagne and the ribollita soup were delicious! Ambiance inside is simple but the food is great!

    If your in Florence. This is where you must go. My group went here everyday we were there. Not only is the food phenomenal, the host/server/owner Mauricio was the sweetest funniest, and most loving person I may have ever met. His hospitality was the reason we came back everyday, as well as the very delicious very affordable food. Thank you Mamma Napoli.

    Looking for a place to eat, found this gem and realized I wanted to try it. Everyone had told us…read moredinner reservations were a MUST here, but didn't think about it. Not many places actually have yelp reviews, but this one had so many with great feedback. The food looked amazing. When we arrived we thought they were closed, but that is because they moved to a bigger restaurant a few doors down. When we arrived at the front, the gentleman asked if we had reservations, which we didn't. He directed us to the line with no reservations. The line was a bit long, but doubled in size almost immediately. It also started pouring rain during this time and we were ALL getting drenched even with an umbrella. The non reservation line was not really moving unless people left the line. We waited a good hour. As we inched closer and closer, the lines were now both outrageous and getting seated seemed like a distant memory. The staff came out and gave out Sangria and Bread bites to help those in line feel welcome. We did finally get seated and we were so glad we waited, it was worth it! We ordered the Spaghetti Carbonara, the lobster spaghettini and the chicken breast with roasted potatoes. We also ordered sangria. Everything was so good and our total was 83 €. Prices were unbelievable! We were amazed at the quality, the service and how large the restaurant they relocated to was. It was like a well oiled machine. The food coming out quickly and efficiently. I will 100% be back if I return to Florence!

I went to the internet for the best Florentine steak and Trattoria Mario consistently popped up as highly rated. I reached out to the restaurant via email to make a reservation for a Friday. I wanted to get the earliest reservation possible, so the restaurant reserved me for 7:30pm, which was when they open. I was advised to show up on time - even a 2 minute delay would make me miss my reservation. I can see why Trattoria Mario was strict on reservations. They open on the dot, and then a staff member calls out each reservation at 7:30pm like a roll call. Seemed to me that if you don't have a reservation then you're out of luck, because there was no waitlist and the restaurant small and space was limited. Service was great. Our waitress was highly attentive and got us in/out of the restaurant quickly, which was what we were going for. Food came out in a timely manner. We ordered the penne al ragu, salad misto, and a Florentine steak to share. The penne was perfectly al dente, and I liked the meat sauce. I did find the pasta sauce salty, but it could've came from the grated parmesan. The saltiness was not a fluke. The Florentine steak was just pure beef and a ton of salt... too much salt for my liking. I also decided that I'm not a fan of Florentine steak in general.

Diving right into the food, my meal started with their Carabaccia, a traditional Florentine onion soup that dates back to when Leonardo da Vinci was slurping soup. It was a wonderful start to the evening. Feeling adventurous, or maybe just hungry, our group decided to share their Bistecca Alla Fiorentina "Tradiziozale", a hefty Florentine T-bone Beef-Steak. Wow, that was incredible. They brought out a 1.4kg very thick steak for our approval before cooking. We approved, and agreed in having it served rare. I ate so much steak.

ALL of us loved their food! So much so that my Dad insisted we go there again the next day. Later in the trip we were looking for pizza since gustapizza didn't work out and their pizza was also amazing! Fair prices, excellent food, in a tourist area, in Italy???? Never heard of her until now! Besides the different pizzas, I had the Cinghale which was incredible! The Lasagna also fabulous and the spaghetti for my picky daughter. With outside seating for people watching or inside and a menu you can't go wrong with, I highly recommend this Trattoria. Only attaching the pizza photo because the other food was takeout back to the Airbnb and I never took a photo sadly.

    Food was good but not necessarily the best we had in Florence. Given the reviews and the price I…read morewas hoping for a supreme experience. I shared two pasta dishes with my daughter (the handmade Pappardelle with Maremman Wild Boar Ragu and the Carbonara). Both were very good but not the best we've had. Appetizers were good: Salad with pecorino cheese, oranges, pine nuts and walnuts. We ordered the Octopus appetizer as well. The Octopus was beautifully prepared and presented, but didn't have much flavor. They nailed the Espresso Martini! One of the best I've ever had! We ordered the huge Florentine steak to share between 4 of us and it was more than enough. Ultimately what knocked this review down to 3 stars and what was really disappointing was how they targeted us as tourists with the note at the bottom of the bill (see picture). It read "GRATUITY NOT INCLUDED" in all CAPITAL LETTERS. Also note it was the only thing in English on the entire bill. If it had been our first meal in Florence we might have fallen for this tactic, however it was our last. There's definitely some hostility towards tourists in Florence. Don't get me wrong, some of the people and restaurants we've visited have been very welcoming and friendly. However we recently saw tourist taxes go up significantly, and then you see tricks like this on the bill at La Giostra. This was the ONLY restaurant in Florence where we encountered this. Once jet fuel prices make flying a relic of the past I would argue that some Europeans who depend on tourists for their livelihood may not miss our presence but will certainly miss our spending. Save your money and go research the many other places to eat while in Florence.
