My sister got married in Fiesole, outside of Florence, and we had the rehearsal dinner here (without the rehearsal, lol). They have a nice upstairs room that is quiet. The service is impeccable. They had wonderful food, especially if you love meat. Very adventurous menu balanced with classics. Also fantastic selection of wine. You will feel at home here, definitely visit. The owners are truly wonderful! read more

Very nice restaurant, offers a variety of classic florentine dishes all of which are really well made, it's quite crowded so reservations are a must. Special mention goes to the "Curry Shrimps", hardly florentine classics but absolutely fantastic! read more

Excellent restaurant close to Ponte Vecchio. For lunch We had spagghetti a la carbonara and some side dishes , all vegetables like sauteed artichoked and fennel and raddichio salad..We had a whole bottle of Chianti and i have to say that light food , excellent service(server very attentive and friendly) and great wine made this place for us memorable ! read more

Great restaurant. Great staff who loves to serve! Excellent food and away from the droves of tourists. The linguini with the lamb ragu and spaghetti with the mozzarella and tomatoes are great!!! Definitely give this place a try. read more

Fantastic ! Best meal in all my trips to Italy. Small but as real as it gets. Treated like family. Not the touristic 100 item standard menu. Must have a reservation, many turned away while we were there. The view is the traditional ambience of the hardworking, personalized family It's as though you were invited to their home for a meal....an exceptional meal! read more

The evening started out bad. We had been experiencing perfect weather all week. That night, we had 7:30 reservations as did apparently about 20 or 30 people. It began raining pretty hard at about 7:15. All of us were standing outside waiting for the restaurant to open. You would think they would have let us wait inside or at least be prompt at opening. They didn't open until almost ten minutes late as the rain continued to pour. It didn't set a good tone. The seating was very cramped and diners were crammed into the dining areas. The Ribolito and two fettuccini dishes (ham/peas/cream + meat sauce) were very good. Caprese was also fresh and tasty. Only reason to not rate higher is they seem less attentive to customers as I would have hoped between the tight spaces and late opening. read more

Amazing food. One of the waiters spent a lot of time with us suggesting what to visit in Florence.

I seriously don't know what to say about this place. Other reviews were right, that they stick American tourists like myself in a back room and ignored. It required a lot of negotiating but we got ourselves out of that room and to the front. And; what a wonderful surprise! We got to have delicious probably supermarket bought breadsticks. The menu was made to look like it was remade everyday, but I think the only thing that they change is the date on the menu. Plus, it is made to look laminated even though it is clearly shoved in a binder separator. On the bright side, the menu is in English and Italian. I got the sole. It was delicious, although it was floating in butter. My father is vegetarian, and they only had two meals that were completely vegetables, and one was a side salad. read more

It's true what they say about this place that they put all the Americans in the smaller back rooms and save the more attractive front room for locals. Also all the food is really heavy with meat and gross ingredients. This is good if you like this sort of thing. But not if you want lighter or vegetarian fare. It's over priced. And service is short and stuffy. My son ordered sole which was literally floating in butter. read more

Lovely intimate place! So good! Everything was excellent! Lots of locals here as well. It's nice to se photos of people that still work at the trattoria on the walls. A wonderful spot for a delicious meal! It's just over the bridge from historic Florence down the street from Ponte Vecchio. Would highly recommend!! read more

Horrible! A 1 star is generous! Just to level set, We are very excited and open to new things. Never again will I go to this place. Not because of the food, even though 1 out of 4 meals was edible but because they were rude/shady and downright the worst part of Italy. I have never been this mad ever in a foreign country. I spent 5 years overseas and been to Italy 10 times! They treated us like tourists...even though we were definitely not dressed like Americans(no offense). Started with stating that I ordered a lot, mind you, I love food...but am a size six. Rude! They basically said they were out of burrata, even though 4 tables after us were served. Who runs out of burrata in Italy? It's basically like running out of French fries at McDonalds. It was 7:30pm and they were also out of tortellini. Isn't fresh pasta a staple? How is it possible to be out out it in the country that invented it? We spent $300 the night before and had an amazing meal, I beg you...please do not give this place your money. read more

My in-laws hosted a rehearsal dinner for my brother-in-law and his fiancé. We had a party of about 20 attend. We reserved a room upstairs for our large group. We received impeccable service from their staff. My mother-in-law was able to plan this dinner via email weeks before our trip and we were able to come in the day of to finalize details and see how the room was set up. We even met with the owner that day. Everything was perfect! And, dinner that evening was amazing! I definitely recommend this restaurant. read more

Some of the best pasta dishes I've had, the chicken consommé and tortellini and the meat ragout pack so much flavor. Secondis are good as well, but don't quite reach the pastas read more

My only complaint with this restaurant was the initial seating of our group at the only available table in an overly tight area of the restaurant. We couldn't even move the chairs out from under the table without constantly bothering the neighboring tables. However, we were told by the owner that in just a minute a spacious table at the entrance will be available. Needless to say, we waited the minute. From there on out, our experience only went up with outstanding wine, food, and yes I know dessert is food, but a special remark must be made about it's delectableness! read more

I can honestly say that, after 4 trips to Italy through innumerable cities and towns, this is the best meal I've ever had in this country. 4 of us came in for lunch this afternoon and were seated promptly at a cozy table. The restaurant is a series of small rooms that makes for a very intimate, comfortable dining experience. Our waiter was very friendly, and brought us a bottle of house wine and complimentary bread. The dishes we ordered were all delicious and we ended up passing forks and plates around the table so we could try everything. My dish was a duck ragu over perfectly al dente rigatoni, my brother's a creamy sauce with peas and ham over linguine, his girlfriend had a tasty artichoke omelet, and my mom decided on a braised pork dish with fennel, chestnuts, and rosemary. So satisfying. We ended the meal with espresso and 2 desserts: a chocolate torte (my mom doesn't even like chocolate and she loved it...not too sweet and nice and dense), and chestnut fritters with golden raisins, pine nuts, and a sweet ricotta dipping sauce. The meal came out to about 30 euro a person, which for the food, service, and ambiance is great! I would go back in a second and would recommend this place to anyone without hesitation read more

The food here is solid, and Trattoria Cammillo is a great example of one of the better Florentine trattorias. It's popular with locals and tourists. They have all the basic dishes you would expect, but being a bit more "upscale" you should look for more unusual (and very well prepared) dishes like brains, liver and other Tuscan favorites. It gets busy, noisy and crowded. To other reviews that complain about noise, cramped tables and the like - embrace it - this is Italy. read more

Cozy and homemade food. The people that run the place are the nicest. And food is good.

Amazing food and service - I had the lamb sauce with fettuccine and it was perfection. The prosciutto was to die for and the marinated artichokes were the best I've ever had. read more

Tourist trap waiter ask for tip on check prior to charging on card.. some nerve after charging 3 euro per person.. eat elsewhere

Found this place after being turned down by 2 restaurants on a Friday evening - I didn't know you needed reservations in Florence, but am glad I found Cammillo - they agreed to take us (4), even though they were full and put us in the chef's table - great spot by the way. I have to start by saying that Italy probably has the best food in the world - not because pasta is an universal food and loved by all, but because every restaurant you walk in, the food is amazing... from small simple places to touristy ones to fancy restaurants, they were all great! But let's go back to Cammillo: our waiter, the same gentleman with gray hair you see in the pics, he was great.. very friendly, always with a smile on his face and with good suggestions. We ordered a bunch of apps and they were all good, our entrees were really good too, including the huge steak and the wine (3 bottles) were good as always too. If you're in Florence, make sure to stop by this place and have dinner. Authentic Italian food with good atmosphere and nice staff... a must have when in Italy! Can't wait to go back!! read more

While at our hotel on Lake Maggiorre, we encountered Guy Fieri. When we told him our next stop was Florence, he reccommended Camillo and suggested we tell them he sent us. We went for a late lunch and did give our introduction of Guy's. The restaurant was beautiful. The waiter recalled Guy and as lunch progressed he regailled us with his recall of his visit about 2-3 months earlier during truffle season. He said Guy was there 3 nights in a row eating truffle dishes, that he was lively and talkative. We were given a glass of prosecco and a "fritter" at being seated. The waiter informed us that it was now Crimini season, and that truffle season had past. We had great food! and awesome service. I had Crimini and pasta then Osso Buco. Loved it. I had a chocolate cake for dessert, the other desserts for our group were lemon gelato and peach cobbler. We were given a complimentary Tiramisu for dessert that was the best I have ever had. It had a rich custardy quality. We had a bottle of red wine accompanying our meal. When my brother paid the bill the owner actually lowered the amount and gave him a shot of grappa! read more

This place was recommended to me by a friend who lives in Florence for 6 months out of the year. This is his favorite place to eat. It is a little off the main drag, about a 10-15 minute walk from the Ponte Vecchio. The place is very small walking in, but has a very warm feel. There is an open kitchen, so you can see straight back and watch them cook. Our waiter didn't speak English, so my little bit of Italian came in handy. The menu does have an English side however, so you will know what you are ordering. I had the fettuccini with ham and peas in a cream sauce. Excellent! I saw very few cream sauces that didnt include seafood while in Italy, so I was happy to try one. The pasta was homemade, and you could tell. It was cooked a perfect al dente. For my main I had the grilled rabbit. It was perfection. Great taste and cooked perfectly. My wife had meat tortellini with a tomato basil sauce. This was the best tortellini I have had in my life. She also had the fried chicken and cheese. Chunks of chicken and mozzarella cheese flash fried. Really great flavor. I really liked that Camillo had some different selections on the menu than the normal fare. I would not hesitate to return here. read more

Our meal was so tasty! I had a pasta dish with peas and pancetta with a light cream sauce that was delicious. The pasta is homemade and just melts in your mouth. My husband had their chicken parmigiana, which looks nothing like what you get in the U.S. but is much tastier. He loved it so much he wants to figure out how to make the dish in the same style. Our wine was lovely and the service we got was good. read more

A tourist trap in Florence. Do not bother. Food mediocre at best. Wait staff fluent in english. Very expensive.

A classic restaurant and a safe bet in a city full of tourist trap

I generally try to avoid hotel concierge recommendations when I am in a foreign country, however when I heard about this restaurant through a local friend I decided to give it a shot. Not understanding any of the Italian reviews online, I am proud to say I'm the first person to write an English review of this restaurant. The olive oil that was initially served with the white bread was quite bitter, and I'm not sure if it was a local variety that I was just not used to or something else, but I found the strength of it to be somewhat off putting. I decided to try the house wine for €10, and although it was half a liter it wasn't the best quality, although it was quite passable given the cost. If you're going to go here, I would strongly suggest trying the pasta, and both me and my dining companion had 3 separate dishes. Each one was excellent, and I would highly recommend the spaghetti with garlic and olive oil, the fettuccine with meat sauce, or the tortellini in cream sauce. This trattoria has quite a local history in Florence, and seems to be a favorite among many locals. All in all a terrific meal, and the only thing that takes it down one star would be the olive oil and mediocre house wine. All pastas seem to be homemade and worth the reputation. I would definitely come here again given the chance. read more
