I think it's pretty new which is why the locals didn't know it yet.  Food For the quality of the octopus alone I would give this place five stars and I do not really believe in five-star reviews.  I had the octopus dish, my friends had the rest.  Octopus with potato, French beans and pesto: amazingly succulent. Best octopus I've had, melt in our mouth  Swordfish: not fishy at all, flavorful Risotto with shrimp: rich and creamy Dessert: Deconstructed mille feuille, a French dessert of crisp wafer and chantilly cream and strawberries, delicious and creamy and light and crisp  Drinks I was with a wine crowd so we split a bottle of white wine.  Service As I said we were the only second table in the evening but the waiter had some fun personality was happy to explain the dishes to us.

Unfortunately the waiter misunderstood my husband's pancake order and his food didn't arrive. We found out they were out of pancakes so ordered french toast, which still didn't arrive.

We came into a place with a relaxed atmosphere, and lots of American oldies music - i was already a fan! First off: wine. We got a bottle of Chianti to kick the night off. Pretty solid choice! In our party we ordered the risotto pasta and a different pasta with a ragu/wild boar sauce. I had the risotto, which didn't do it for me because it was a little underflavored, however the ragu pasta my friends had was amazing. Do try that if you go there! The piece de resistance was definitely the pistachio cheesecake. Soooo good, and totally worth it! We got a round of limocello from the owner, which is was my first time trying it. Also not my favorite, but we appreciated the gesture. We also got a chance to hang out with the owner, who's super personable and fun to talk to! Honestly, it was such a fun first night in Florence with pretty decent food, I'd definitely stop by again if I get the chance!

They have wine, champagne, a large variety of liquor and more than enough desserts to order. Great spot to hang out with and look at if you are in need of a break from roaming around. Oh and their bathrooms are just as cute and also very clean.

It is a very small french wine and cheese shop with a small but nice selection of french pantry items that would might be hard to find elsewhere. They have a couple of sizes/brands of cassoulet for example. They had a small but nice cheeses selection (all French) and a great wine selection. Prices are very reasonable. I got a Reblochon, a small cylinder shaped (bondes) goats milk cheese which was great, a Veuve Pelletier for €30 and a Fontbreuil Bordeaux Sauvignon (cant recall the price). The shopkeeper gave me a olive tapenade for free. French cheeses and wines are available elsewhere but this little shop brings together a nice collection and some harder to get pantry items at good prices. The only think it is missing is a baguette and maybe a few more options for bread/crackers.
