This is the place where I ordered my first vermentino of my life and have forever changed since. I thought I was just a sauvignon blanc girlie but I think I love vermentino more. I didn't get a chance to take a photo of the mussels we ordered but both the mussels and the spaghetti alle vongole (Spaghetti with Clams) were so tasty. Met some new friends from England while were were here that's from similar area as my partner's ancestors... The service was amazing, the restrooms were clean. Definitely a nice pitstop before moving on to sightseeing near the Duomo for the evening. Really love their seafood dishes that we tried. I thought they were very reasonably priced but maybe it's because I'm from a landlocked state. :)

The owner and staff were fantastic, very knowledgeable and provided great recommendations. The wine bar itself is a small quaint little place. Probably seats about 12 to 15 people total and has plenty of windows so you can see passersby and people watch. The cheeseboard? Get the cheeseboard. They do a fantastic job of pairing everything together to really bring so many flavors to your tastebuds. Their house wine is phenomenal and they take great pride in finding the grapes/different varietals to make it come to life. They have a both a red and a white house wine option. The second time we went - and yes, we went more than once in the four days we were there - we enjoyed one of the sandwiches and it was absolutely amazing. The bread, I can't even explain, the bread it's so flavorful and so good and so light. That paired with the delicious meats and cheeses were 100% worth it. I definitely recommend this location to anybody who is visiting Florence regularly or for their first time.

Yes, I've had two cocktails before writing this, be quiet, maybe YOU'RE the one with the problem, did you ever think of that? But seriously, fried dough with salty ham and truffle cheese. It is a delicious bomb. I want to come back and have tartare and try the wine and just taste all the things. Thank you internet for steering me here.

Since we didn't have a reservation at Bianco restaurant the staff guided us thru to Pavone restaurant to a cozy spot at the bar counter. That was incredibly kind and accommodating. I guess they both belonged to the same owner as we were given menus from both the restaurants to order food. Both the restaurants had beautiful decor. One carried a traditional charm & the other a modern tone. We kicked off our meal with complimentary bread & olive oil. We ordered a refreshing Aperol Spritz and a glass of Chianti Classico. For starters, we dove into a creamy burrata topped with freshly shaved truffles and olive oil an intriguing combination of grilled crostini with toasted bread, anchovies, and a flavorful green paste & a sprinkle of olive oil. It was a unique and delicious combo to start with! For our main courses, we enjoyed a show-stopping dish, Chicken breast with pecorino and truffle & this dish was, without a doubt, the best and one of the highlight of our entire trip, & wife ordered wild boar ragu was equally satisfying. Both mains were perfectly complemented by two glasses of Bolgheri red wine. A special shout out to our bartender, who was not only knowledgeable about the menus and wine selections but also incredibly friendly and helpful, making our dinner experience even more enjoyable. We thoroughly savored every moment and every bite at Osteria del Pavone/ Osteria del Cinghiale Bianco. I highly recommend this bar & restaurant to anyone traveling to Florence.

Seating outside is a great choice, if the weather permits, and a nice bottle of Pinot Grigio can find you here when the day is toasty. Our server, Lisa, spoke great English, helpful with the menu and delivered excellent service throughout. My mother paired her wine with the Pici al Cacio e Pecorino, served al dente and delicious. I ordered the Tagliata di Manzo, which was amazing. They recommend rare, but a few parts came out medium rare. Definitely let them serve it the way they want, anything else would be too dry and tough. To finish the Tiramisu will leave you happy and satisfied.

They have an English menu with all the local dishes that you'd be looking for as a tourist in the area. Service: 5 The service is wonderful! Our waitress explained the steak weight and cut and then even brought out the steak to show it to us! She also advised that the steak, spinach and pasta is going to be a lot of food and suggested we do a half portion for the pasta. We wanted to try it because it's handmade so I'm glad they were able to do it for us. Flavors: 5 ABSOLUTELY delicious! The steak was tender and flavorful. Couldn't get enough! The pasta had the chewy texture of handmade pasta. It seemed simply dressed in sauce but still tasty with complex flavors. We savored each bite! The spinach is a bit bland and bitter but I really didn't mind it when eaten with the rest of the meal. Overall, I am so happy we found this restaurant on our first night in Florence. We had such a good meal and it was so relaxing! Highly recommend!
