Meatballs
Kevin L.

This place was literally behind the hotel/hostel that we were staying at and 50 feet away from a great Irish bar that we spent a couple hours at before dropping in here. The food came out fast and I did enjoy the meatballs. I just didn't realize that the entire entree was two meatballs. Probably would have ordered a second dish.

Pretty good meal here! We ordered the Tuscan steak and truffle pasta to share between 2 people. The steak is huge, but was a bit underdone for my taste. The truffle pasta was definitely my favorite!

scallops

AMAZING! best meal we've had on our trip so far. family owned with great service & food was unbelievable. scallops starter was so good we had to order a second round! wild boar pasta, both types of ravioli & lamb were all fantastic.

boar ragu
Savannah S.

Went last night for dinner and was impressed. Typical Trattoria in Italy with great food and friendly service. Filled with locals which is always a good sign. We order multiple appetizers, and I had the pigeon and special with boar ragu for dinner which I shared with my boyfriend. Food: 4/5 Delicious! Homemade pasta, creative offerings, however the ingredients could have felt a little more fresh. Great wines as well! Service: 5/5 So friendly and kind. Felt like I was transported into the family when I arrived with the warmth of the service Atmosphere: 5/5 It is not a bougie establishment, but it fits Italian Trattoria to a T. If you want something local, casual, but classic head there!

Acquacotta is a nice restaurant in the Santa Croce area of Florence. Kind of far from where we were staying but is supposed to be accessible by foot from Ponte Vecchio. Four stars for the excellent service by Ella. She was friendly and extremely nice. Far from what we've experienced in Rome and even in Florence. We got two pastas, meat to share and desserts. Frutti de Mare - mixed seafood spaghetti comes with shrimp clams and mussels and is pretty standard Shrimp risotto - pretty plate and a great selection. The risotto was cooked perfectly and the shrimp was fresh and sweet The steak that we got was kind of interesting. We should've gotten the hint when we were asked what temperature we wanted. She asked "medium or rare?". I guess medium rare isn't the norm here? Idk. Temperature of the meat was uneven. It went from rare to medium from one end to the other. We got two desserts. A chocolate cake and some type of frozen fruit cake. The chocolate is rich and decadent while the other I couldn't care much about. Sorry. I'd recommend Acquacotta for the shrimp risotto and the chocolate cake and maybe the other selections would be better. A definite four stars for Ella.

The caprese skewer.
Sage G.

This place is amazing. My dad and I got the caprese salad which is actually a skewer, and it was delicious. We also got the risotto (minus the prawns) which was like a religious experience to be honest, and my dad got the pheasant ravioli with truffle cream sauce - very rich and flavorful.

Pigeon
Len S.

Win in food, wine, and hospitality! A family restaurant where you can taste the care and deft hand of the husband-chef, and benefit from the attentiveness and knowledge of wine pairings of the wife in the front of house. Highly recommend the pigeon and, believe it or not, the potatoes (aka French fries seasoned to perfection). I got a little impatient throughout the service waiting on the next course or check, but my husband enjoyed the 3 hour dinner as part of the dining experience.

Wall fresco
Marc G.

Wonderful food snd service. A small restaurant with very artistic walls. A favorite of many of the Florence locals. Nothing fancy.

stuffed lamb
Alex C.

Dinner 18 June 2017: Right around the corner from our apartment in a nice quiet neighborhood. We had the wild boar ravioli, prosciutto with melons, stuffed lamb loin, stuffed rabbit and the Branzino (which they call sea bass). The host filleted the fish perfectly. All dishes were prepared with the freshest ingredients. Service from the family owned and run restaurant was warm and friendly, they made you feel like one of their own.

We had a lovely dinner with my boyfriend! We were looking for an Italian trattoria with excellent food &a service and we had! We arrived at 9pm without reservation and they found us a table anyway. So, I recommend you to reserve a table first! The food was fantastic, the service was amazing, they even took some time for the main course and they gave us 2 machiatti as to compensate the minutes we kept waiting for our Tuscan meat. Clap clap for this trattoria!

This little kitchen does an excellent job!
Nina M.

Lovely, family-run restaurant. Farmhouse soup, artichoke salad, pasta dishes, tiramisu all perfect. Atmosphere and friendly service.

Real good bisteca my favorite place to have nice steak in Florence . I have a recommending this…read moreplace.

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!

Wow, this place is amazing. Our waiter was very friendly and he was super hilarious. He made jokes…read moreand it enlightened the room. He provided us with excellent service. We ordered the 2.6 lb dry aged Florentine steak and gnocchi. The Florentine steak is a must try steak here. It was very juicy, tender, and it was bursting with flavor. The meat was nice and chewy. The steak was gigantic and it is bigger than my head. They first bring out the raw steak and weight it in front of you. The steak is enough to share for three people. The gnocchi was also very delicious. It was cheesy and rich. It was also in a way creamy and the cheese just melted in your mouth. One of the best things I've ever put in my mouth and eaten. The cheesecake is very famous in this restaurant. We tried it and understand why. The cheesecake was super creamy and soft. I had a great time and experience here. Definitely will be back sometime soon hopefully. This is a place I highly recommend to everyone. Come and try it out for yourselves.

In a town of Bistecca alla fiorentina, this restaurant was recommended to us and it delivered…read more The gnocchi was a fantastic way to start our meal. Creamy and spicy, only if you mix in the hot parts. They come to table and weigh the meat in front of you so you know what you're paying for. It is cooked rare or medium rare. This is NOT like steakhouses in NYC. In its own category. It was presented with melting bone marrow, sea salt and cut off the bone. Extremely flavorful and tender. My only issue is that the fat doesn't render and there was silverskin in some pieces making it inedible, plus you've paid for this by weight. Great attentive service by Nick

made a reservation through ig dm haha. no tables without reservations…read more the florentine steak is massive. 1 kg nice crust. cooked nicely rare. some really good bites, some okay bites florentine steak is not world class for me. BUT at the price of 45 for this is amazing value.

I've been to Florence before but didn't get a chance to try a Florentine steak. My husband and I…read moremade it a point to definitely get one for dinner on our first night in the city. 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.
