    This is by far the best pasta experience that I've had so far in Italy. The flavors that I experienced with this basic spaghetti meal was just.... omg!! We leave for Venice tomorrow, but most definitely stop back in for round 2!

    First stop in Florence. food was amazing. Service very friendly. We are planning to return for multiple meals.

    Margarita Pizza - simple, but heavenly! No fuss, no disappointment

    Okay, my boyfriend and I spent 5 nights in florence and passed by this restaurant every night on our way back to our Air BnB. One night, we were just too tired to venture far out for dinner and decided to stop here. I'll be honest... I was super hesitant and skeptical of this place. It has a very confused identity and the menu is an expansive puzzle. But, let me tell you... this meal was probably the best meal we had in Florence - better than our one allocated fancy dinner we had at La Giostra! And, best of all, this place is inexpensive! Or, at least, it's typical pricing for the pizza/pasta you get in the area. My boyfriend wanted a simple yet delicious Italian pizza and hadn't found one that satisfied... yet, until he ordered the Margarita Pizza, which was just a thing of beauty. You could tell it was made with love. Straight to the point, this pizza is what you think of when you think classic pizza in Italy. Order it and probably any other pizza on the menu! I, on the other hand, was on the search for good, homemade pasta. I couldn't decide what to get and on a whim I ordered the fettucini ai funghi porcini, not expecting much. When I took my first bite, I looked at my boyfriend and we locked eyes in utter joy. We had found our perfect pizza/pasta! Dramatic, yes. But, this was just a creamy, earthy swirl of magic. I will try to recreate this dish at home and probably fail, but I can't forget about how this pasta tasted. So, yelp, I wanted to leave this review since it has an average rating and tell potential patrons that Firenze Barbecue is the Italian dream you have been searching for!

    I don't write many reviews, but wanted to show this little trattoria named for the street it's on some love. After a day of traveling, tons of walking and being tired we decided to just try the little trattoria next door to our hotel (Macchiaioli), and so glad we did! This is truly a mama and papa place, as the proprietors are a married couple, and so welcoming of our little kids. The ribollita (Tuscan vegetable soup) is to die for; so glad we copied the elderly Italian ladies on Easter Sunday to order that. The pasta dishes are all freshly made by hand. The waitress was curious what we thought of the chocolate torte, and when we approved she proudly gushed since she had made it herself! We liked it so much that we came back the next night. After dinning the second night we received complimentary limonita's after dinner :)

    Just a flew blocks from our hotel (Gran Duomo ) we stumbled upon this family owned gem. Gionni, our waiter was very helpful, friendly , & spoke very good English. Gionni recommended a local bottle of wine (fiorre de Maggio) for us that was delicious & only 14 euro. We had a meat and cheese plate to start & the bruschetta. It was both beautiful and delicious ! Gionni also helped us decide between different pasta dishes . I had the truffle ravioli, & I could have licked my plate clean. He had the zucchini shrimp linguini. We were both stealing bites off each other's plates. We are here for two days and. I would like to say we won't eat here again, but it was so delicious we might have too. They have a large menu with pictures to help if needed .

    Tiramisú!

    Walking on the sidewalk we were drawn in by the welcoming family that owns this restaurant. The wifi password is provided. The food took a little long but it was because they make fresh food! Lastly, they are constantly checking on you and striking up great conversations (where we were from & what we were planning to see during our stay). Great experience, will be back!

    Very good pasta and chicken options. The service is great, and their outdoor seating area facing the street is very nice.

    Excellent restaurant, possibly the best pasta we have had in Florence. Family owned with great service. Highly recommend the lasagne.

    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.

    Another excellent spot we tried in Florence. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and seated…read moreimmediately. The staff was very friendly and our waiter was Nugo. He was awesome and had us laughing the entire night. We peppered him with a lot of questions about the menu, he answered everything and also accommodated my father-in-law, who is GF. He had his own GF bread basket and was able to order almost anything on the menu. We ordered a nice bottle of Montepulciano red for the table that was $48. Others had the Hugo spritz. For app I had the anchovies with roasted red pepper, sea salt and oil over grilled crostini, very good. I skipped first course and ordered the ribeye steak for my main course. Bone in, medium rare, sprinkled with sea salt and a side of onion marmalade. The steak was very good and had way less fat than I expected. The waiter suggested a huge steak for the table, but I was the only one ordering steak that night. Maybe next time. Others ordered the fillet and it was cooked perfectly, the angels and demons gnocchi, and the veal scallopini. Everybody was pleased Really cool spot with a very good wine selection, drinks, excellent food and a fun atmosphere that you don't find at many places. Nugo was an A+ server.

    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.
