Had an amazing experience at the restaurant. Came as a walk in on a Saturday night and was promptly sat. It was busy but they def fill seats. The ambiance is cute and quaint. It's almost like the restaurant is positioned in a cave but it feels homey. Ample light to make it feel intimate and comfortable. The services was good and the wine and food were outta this world. All recommendations were great but would suggest the wild boar ragu and t bone steak. Would def be back when visiting Florence and highly recommend to others visiting. read more

Wow, what a special place. Set inside a 14th-century tower near the Ponte Vecchio in Florence, this restaurant delivers an unforgettable dining experience from the moment you walk in. The atmosphere alone is worth a visit, but the food is what truly makes it exceptional. We ordered the ravioli, pappardelle with wild boar ragù, the Florentine steak, a mixed salad, affogato, and fresh strawberries with mascarpone cream. To drink, we shared a small carafe of red wine and a Pinot Grigio. Everything was spectacular. The Florentine steak was easily the best--and largest--I have ever had. Perfectly cooked, incredibly flavorful, and remarkably tender, it was the highlight of an already outstanding meal. The pappardelle with boar ragù was rich, hearty, and deeply satisfying, while the ravioli was beautifully prepared and full of flavor. Every dish felt authentic, carefully executed, and memorable. The wine was another pleasant surprise. Both selections were excellent and very reasonably priced, making the meal feel like an even better value. Our waiter was friendly, attentive, and incredibly helpful. He patiently answered questions, explained the menu, and guided us toward some fantastic choices. Although we thought we were too full for dessert, we're very glad we changed our minds. The affogato was fantastic, and the strawberries with mascarpone cream were absolutely delicious. One of the highlights of the evening was watching our four-year-old happily clutching two spoons and enthusiastically scooping fresh strawberries and mascarpone into his mouth. It was one of those memorable family travel moments that you don't forget. A terrific meal, a unique historic setting, excellent service, and a wonderful atmosphere. This was one of our favorite dining experiences in Florence, and I highly recommend it. read more

I literally can't say enough good things about this place. Main takeaway: make a reservation!! I called day-of and they squeezed us in at 6:15 (which was perfect) but everything before 9:30 was booked up. We were welcomed warmly by the staff (he literally said "ah yes I remember you" ) and guided to our cozy little table in the corner. Were ordered a bottle of Chianti Classico to start, as well as a few pastas plus the steak and cod. I can safely say the spaghetti pomodoro with burrata was the best pasta dish I've had in Italy - the pasta was perfectly cooked and the cherry tomatoes was so sweet, the kind of thing that reminds you why you came to Italy in the first place. Overall: great service, great atmosphere, and fantastic food. Just be sure to make a reservation!! read more

What a bummer this place was last night for dinner. We arrived in Florence late, tired and starving and just needed somewhere to park ourselves for a decent meal and a glass of wine. I think there was one Italian couple in the entire restaurant. Okay, fine, to be expected in August. But the service and food was clearly geared for that demographic. We have been traveling in Italy for over a month and are very used to having our meals coursed properly. Our waiter ignored all of our requests and unceremoniously dumped everything on our table at once (forgetting our salad altogether). Did Stanley Tucci eat here? Yikes. The spinach gnudi were gummy and flavorless. The veal chop was fine but needed salt and pepper to bring it to life. This was the only sad Italian meal I experienced this summer. But they will serve you Coke with ice! read more

It's super cool because their place is a 14th century watchtower. One of the few places that actually still sells and serves boar per Tuscany traditions. I tried the polenta and boar and not really a fan of polenta, but that's my fault. The bore was tender and delicious and savory. We also tried the Panzanella, which is a staple Italian breakfast. Definitely a good appetizer. Vibes are nice and the waiter was nice for Italian service. They even make their own wine. read more

Tiny little place but great ambiance - very not tourist forward. I generally am not a medium steak person (I am well done) but risked a medium seared with a sauce and potatoes and it was amazing - not going to change other steak orders but for them yep I'll do medium. Service was great - very friendly and super efficient. That being said DO make a reservation- for those who know it's very popular. read more

Believe the hype. And trust me, I was incredibly doubtful at first, afraid it would be overrated given the absolute fandom around this being one of Stanley Tucci's go-to. On top of the pain of securing a reservation (they only take these over the phone; no online system), the only slot I could secure even as a solo diner was as soon as they opened, at 6pm, and via a bar seat. When I arrived, I was immediately greeted by several of the staff, all warm/kind. One of them offered me a table, even though I humbly mentioned I'd be fine with whatever was convenient to them. I looked around and saw what seemed to be majority American tourists so I had very standard expectations. Well, what commenced...my god. I'm getting chills now thinking about the entire experience. Just the absolute perfect dinner my first night in Florence. Everything on the menu looked fantastic and I was even tempted to order 2 Primi (pastas) but my server discouraged it, said they were quite large. Instead she guided towards the "must" appetizer, the "onion flan with pecorino cheese and truffle" followed by their signature pasta, "pappardelle with wild boar ragù" The appetizer literally brought me to tears as soon as I took a bite. I didn't think I liked truffle but this was life-changing. And the pasta was served piping hot and also to die for. I complemented the meal with a delicious glass of white and red and ended with the utterly divine tiramisu. I will be dreaming about this meal for years to come. So epic. read more

The Renaissance continues in Florence and their canvas includes fantastic food, professional, entertaining and informative service and the ambiance is pure steeped in history and still creating very special meals. We had been looking at art and visiting churches and museums all day and you can arrive hungry. It is well known for its meat. The desert cart makes it past you during your time to tempt you with even more. We were given aprons to cover our unbuckled belts. read more

I had heard about this restaurant from various online Italy forums so made a reservation via email (though they normally like phone calls). They asked that I reconfirm closer to the date so I did and all worked out. After viewing a beautiful sunset over the Arno River, we arrived to a long line to get in, but we quickly got a nice table in the back room with the resie. The interior was cute with several boar carvings on the walls. Husband ordered osso bucco, which he devoured. I had the wild boar parpadelle, which was delicious, probably my best meal in Italy. We ordered a nice bottle of Chianti and had a delicious pannacotta with berries for dessert. Husband also had a grappa. Total bill was $115 USD. Service was pleasant, we chatted with the granddaughter of the owner who was working part time while attending university. They didn't rush us out and it was a perfect ending to our last meal in Florence. read more

It's almost impossible to choose only 3 dinner spots in Florence with so many good options available but I am SO glad this is one of the places we decided on. Between Reddit, Stanley Tucci and personal recommendations from friends this one felt like a no brainer. We had a 7:30 reservation for Wednesday evening and upon arrival and check in there were two lines. One for people waiting for a table with no reservation and one for people waiting for their table with a reservation. We arrived on time and were seated after about a 15 minute wait. The ambiance of the restaurant is super warm and cozy and the service was attentive. For dinner we ordered 3 different pastas to share. I really appreciated that they split each pasta for us before bringing them out. I know that they are know for their cinghiale pappardelle but our favorite pasta was the Chitarra Pomodoro with burrata. It was simple and perfect and I wish I was eating it right now. Tiramisu was great as well if you are a dessert person but I honestly could have also just gone for a fourth pasta. For sure make a reservation in advance and definitely prioritize this restaurant if you are visiting from out of town. read more

It's been about 10 years since our first visit and though I wondered if we should try different in new places, I'm so glad that we decided to come back. It's an intimate restaurant, but with such cozy and comforting food and surprisingly reasonably priced. The suckling pig was fantastic in one of the best I've ever had. It really teamed with porky goodness. We loved it. I'm so glad we came back and look forward to our next visit. read more

Osteria del Cinghiale Bianco located near the Ponte Vecchio. I had to try this since Stanley Tucci revealed this was one of his favorites in Florence. You need to make reservations, I tried calling and gave up and went to the restaurant to make reservations in person. Ordered the boar ragu ( a little too salty for me), bistecca, onion tart, truffle pasta. All of the entrees were delicious. Ended the meal with the tiramisu - absolutely one of the highlights of the meal. Service was very prompt - the restaurant was very crowded and I met some lovely people at the tables next to mine. A great dining experience- I look forward to returning! read more

Man this place was something else and If I could eat here every date night I would but unfortunately over 6,00 miles is stopping me. The steak was out of this world delicious and probably one of the best steaks I've had. Be open minded and go with the recommendation of having it rare. The pappardelle was also very good and enjoyed every bite of it. The service was top notch with no complaints, our server was very helpful. The space is small but that's the whole experience of being in such a beautiful old city. read more

This was our first meal in Florence during a 3-night stay, and sadly, was our least favorite. Perhaps it is the traditional menu that it was known for, as we are more into the modern flair. Or it could be the fact that we were here after having visited the best restaurant in San Mario and arguably the best Italian restaurant during our week-long road trip in central Italy! We asked several servers for the recommendation, and everyone suggested the pappardelle with wild boar and roast suckling pig....the pappardelle was delicious, but certainly not the best we had (I guess it gets tough after having been to 100 countries). The roast suckling pig was a different story...the meat was chewy and not tasty at all. We could barely finish our food and left the restaurant unsatisfied. The service was hit and miss. The bartender warmed up to us after seeing us struggle to stay cool. But the server took a while to take our orders after we were seated at the table. The restaurant was buzzing though, even at late hours. I am sure there must be reasons that drew people here, we just didn't get to taste the food that we enjoyed. read more

Made a reservation during our visit to Florence. A cool, cozy but bustling restaurant in a historic building. We made reservations and were seated right away. The bread was delicious and went with everything we ordered. We started with grilled artichokes that were amazing. We went with trying the dishes with the restaurants trademark boar in them - pappardelle with boar ragu and wild boar polenta. Both delicious. We split a half carafe of the house red wine. An amazing and delicious evening in Florence. Highly recommend. read more

Great service. We were beyond impressed by our server's attention to our requests. Food was amazing!

I made reservations (we waited 30 minutes to be seated) here based on a recommendation from someone who had dined at the restaurant 15 years ago. For our party, the food was average at best. We ordered their specialty and an assortment of pasta dishes - all average. The best thing was the lemon sorbet for dessert. The restaurant is packed with people, noisy, and uncomfortable. Be prepared to have your seat continuously bumped into if you're unfortunately seated where the wait staff run to and from the kitchen. Service was haphazard. I feel we had to ask for too many things that should have been offered or provided. read more

Just had an amazing meal here. We started with the bruschetta Pomodoro which was very fresh. For entrees, the stuffed rabbit special and the wild boar steaks were both fabulous. They catered to our kids making our son a half order of ravioli to go with his meatballs and basic spaghetti and butter for our daughter. We uncharacteristically each wanted different things for dessert and splurged with everyone getting their own. The tiramisu lives up to the decadent hype. The two variations on the "cake of the day" were excellent, and the Panna cotta was light and fluffy. Service was very accommodating and the ambiance was superb. read more

Once in a while, there comes a restaurant where, after you dine there, you are glad that you took someone's recommendation to try it. Osteria del Cinghiale Bianco is exactly that sort of place. Even without a reservation we were seated quickly and we were fortunate have the nook surrounded entirely by brick. It is safe to say that it was here that I have tasted the best tiramisu I had ever had in my life. Seriously - listen to everyone else on this one... the antipasto di cinghiale and pappardelle were expertly prepared and the ambience is quite exquisite -- in a way that seems storybook and welcoming. Please plan to visit this spot the next time you're in Florence. read more

This was by far our favorite restaurant in Florence. We made a reservation about 3 weeks in advance by calling. We sat outside in the back ally- and while that sounds weird it was an amazing experience and a great atmosphere (quiet and quaint). We moved inside for dessert because it started raining. The owner was so friendly and we were taken through the kitchen to get to our table. It felt like you were being greeted and treated like family. The wild boar papperadelle is a musssttt. I got the filet steak with Chianti sauce and baked potatoes and it was cooked to perfection. My boyfriend got the wild boar steak to try something different, however he said it wasn't bad but he would go with a regular beef steak or another pasta next time. Save room for the tiramisu!! The best I've ever had. read more

I got the pasta with fresh truffles and as a truffle-lover, was absolutely blown away. I definitely recommend this place! read more

This is the one you've been waiting for--the restaurant you dreamed of when visiting Italy. Beautiful rustic dishes made with quality ingredients. Handmade pappardelle blanketing the plate with wild boar sauce. The namesake of the restaurant is the white boar, so I paid special attention to factor it into the order. The butter and sage ravioli was aromatic like perfume, even intoxicating. And the porcini mushrooms blanketed the steak like umami butter. Book this restaurant if you are in Florence! I just wish I could have tried the other dishes that were parading out of the kitchen past our table. read more

This was one of the best meals we have had in all of Italy, and ranks up in the best-ever category. We are from Kansas in the US and know good beef. The meat at Osteria was some of the highest quality I have ever tasted. Coked perfectly and served with simple sides. My wife's beef filet was in a Chianti sauce that was fantastic. Our T-bone was over two pounds of meat, not including the bone, and was tender and flavorful with just salt and pepper. Highly recommend but you should make a reservation. Service was impeccable. read more
