After hearing rave reviews from friends, we decided to give this restaurant a try. Upon arrival we were greeted with giant cuts of meat that created a very strong, positive visual impression. We were seated in the secondary location across the street. Our waiter was more interested in overselling the Florentine steak than he was about creating a great experience. He didnt make suggestions or ask us any questions as we tried to understand the somewhat complicated meat choice combinations. The food itself was very good. In addition to the meat we ordered salad, a thick noodle pasta, pasta al carbone, potatoes and wine. At the advice of other customers we ordered the steak rare in order to get what Americans consider medium rare (the meat continues to cook on the platter it is served on). The potatoes were amazing! Must have been slow roasted in a broth. The pastas were good but nothing to die for. We were surprised that Florentines don't use much garlic! Overall, a pleasant culinary journey. read more

Great food, great place and great people. Enjoyed my fillet mignon very much but sadly I couldn't try their Bistecca Fiorentina because my friends were vegetarian and they only serve for two. read more

Food was great, especially the spaghetti and meatballs, though was a little let down by the other side dishes and pasta. The steak was delicious. 1.5 kg for 4 people was a good portion. Our waiters and service were really wonderful. We did think that the pan a Cotta was one of the best we tried In Italy read more

The steak is fabulous! We ordered the recommended cut, and it's a little over 2lbs I believe. And some sides. The two of us were not able to finish the whole meal unfortunately. It is a heavy meal, so come prepared with an extra empty stomach! I made a reservation online prior to our visit, and I highly recommend doing that. You get a 20% discount for the less busy hours too (idk if it applies to walk-in as well). The staff are super friendly, and a great ambiance in the restaurant. Perfect for a nice date night too. read more

I don't usually write yelp reviews when abroad for various reasons, but I felt this place deserved one! When in Florence, they are famous for their steaks. So famous that two restaurants in Florence made the list for Top 50 steakhouses in the world. And it's not that expensive (coming from california where one steak alone is an arm and a leg). You have to get the Florentine which is basically a T bone steak but thiccc. It is very tender, flavorful and not overly seasoned. Paired with baked potatoes, grilled veggies and red wine. Makes for a very delicious dinner. read more

My husband made reservations 6 MONTHS ago and had been so excited to have the Florentine steak! He has been talking about this for months. This place is over-blown. We ordered the 1,2kg chianineria steak rare/medium-rare, verdure alla griglia, and a glass of wine. No, they only sell bottles of wine, waiter leaves. (Next table gets a half-sized bottle) so he flags down our waiter and asked for the half-sized bottle. The wine never showed up. I don't think we actually got the particular steak we ordered. The filet mignon portion of the t-bone wasn't connected to the steak and was about a centimeter shorter than the bone it was supposed to be attached to. It was cooked medium and no red. There was absolutely NO flavor to this piece of meat. There was salt and pepper on the table, which was useful. We were served a bowl with potatoes, which we didn't order and the vegetables never arrived. I am so embarrassed to be posting this but I am SO MAD that you let my husband down! This place is a mess. Get it together! Try to blame the fact that we are American. We actually do have standards and are not stupid. If we were all idiots, we would not be able to afford to visit your establishment. read more

After checking in with Yelp I got a 20% the entire menu except for alcohol - so naturally we got the 1.2kg t-bone and beef carpaccio with burrata. Great steak, food arrived in a perfectly staggered cadence where we never waited. And a meal comprised entirely of beef was a happy reprieve for the endless train of carbs we were have been riding the last week. read more

Absolutely fantastic dinner here. I pre-booked in advance before coming here on vacation and glad I did because there is a long wait outside the restaurant every night. We ordered their steak and truffle pasta. Both were DELICIOUS. The truffle pasta is probably the best one we had in Italy out of all the restaurants we had tried. Their steak was also well seasoned and not chewy and cooked to perfection of our choice which was medium rare. The service was very attentive and friendly as well. read more

One odd thing that we noticed about this restaurant - there are two of them, or at least 2 parts. One is on a corner. Across the street and down a couple of storefronts is...the same restaurant. I'm not sure why, or if there is a difference. Unless there is a secret tunnel, they aren't connected. We ate at the part slightly further from the front of the train station. We decided to eat here partly as our hotel gave us a coupon for 10% off dining here. Plus, it was within about a block of the hotel and it had been raining earlier, so a short walk was preferred. They had a sign as you entered that announced 'the top 100 steakhouses in the world.' It was not clear to me if they were claiming to be on the list...? I'm not saying they shouldn't be, it just wasn't clear. We were seated promptly. The diners seemed to be a mix of Asian tourist couples and some upscale locals (at least the ones sitting near us). We were seated near the window at the end of the long dining room (far from the open kitchen), which was okay. However, then no one came back. No drink orders, nothing. We waited a few minutes until it became uncomfortable. Had I been solo dining, I'd probably have just left at that point. My dinner companions were hungrier and wanted to stay. I was about to get up to search for a waiter when someone finally came by. They got our drink orders (we just had still water). The guy brought that and took our order. Then it seemed like a slightly long-ish wait for the food. I'm not sure what was going on - they didn't appear short staffed. I wasn't planning on wine anyway, but from what I could tell from the menu, they only sell it by the bottle. Our food arrived, followed by the complimentary bread (which I'd have expected to come out first). We all ordered pasta, as we weren't sure whether we could finish a steak. The Tuscan region seemed really big on steaks, from our limited experience. The pasta was quite good, though. Everyone enjoyed it. I cannot recall if we got or split salads as well. My stuffed shells had a lot of cheese and were tasty. My daughter got a pasta with wild boar sauce dish that she used to get at a local place before they discontinued the dish. She enjoyed hers too. We didn't have to wait overly long to pay the bill. As we left, there were a couple of large marble stairs down to the sidewalk. They were slippery from the earlier rain and my daughter slipped on one. Luckily she wasn't hurt, but be aware of this if it is raining when you visit. read more

After a reservation made far in advance, we couldn't have been more disappointed by the service. For the prices, choose any other steakhouse in Florence and you'll be better off. They ignored us for far too long where we had to go and ask for service and then forgot many parts of the meal. One of the waiters got onto us for not mentioning we had a 1-year old baby with us, though she was a lap child and would not have taken a spot. Seemed like we were not wanted here at all, so uncomfortable. Would recommend Casa Del Vin Santo in Florence, better in every way. read more

Excellent restaurant. Great ambiance with nice decor. The steak was great and I am grading this fully aware that Tuscans like their steak on the side of rare vs the US medium or medium rare. If you want true US medium rare then you have to ask for medium well. The restaurant staff were very friendly. Our waiter recommended a 4-pound (2 Kg) steak for my family of 4. This is how it's done here. Don't come in and order a petite fillet with a side 3 spears of asparagus. Don't be the weird American. We also ordered the freshly prepared pappardelle with ragu and some potato. The food was phenomenal. The steak was delivered on a big sizzling platter that was on a butcher block. We also ordered an excellent wine. Great wine selection. Overall, highly recommended this place. read more

Fair warning - I am a food snob especially when it comes to steak. Coming from the states we are basically known for our big juicy angus steak and coming from Chicago I have experienced many upscale restaurants with steak that almost melts when you eat it - with that being said I have high steak expectations The famous florentine steak in the most famous steakhouse in Florence set my expectations even higher My honest opinion is that the steak was nothing special It was dry aged which provided a different flavor profile and texture It had big chunks of salt which I enjoyed However, the steak was overcooked and just didn't have the same flavor as back in the States The positives - the prices are very good and everything is sharable with the appetizers. We really liked the meat and cheese platter! read more

I had heard so many great things about this restaurant before coming to Florence I knew I had to come here. I called about 2 weeks in advance and got a reservation for the date and time I wanted. We arrived about an hour earlier than our reservation and they were very kind and sat us down immediately. Our waiter was super nice and helpful. We received a complimentary mushroom crostini after placing our order. We decided to try the Australian wagu Florentina steak and a rocket salad. Both dishes were superb and plenty for two hungry tourist. We left the restaurant around 9pm and there was a line outside waiting for a table. I would suggest you make a reservation. I would definitely come back here next time I'm in Florence. read more

Finally got a chance to try the Florentine steak /t bone.. This restaurant was nice and Clean.. Friendly staff. Made reservation night before but the girl didn't write my name down right or something.. But we went early enough I didn't have to wait. Ordered mixed salad which was pretty good. Ordered the 1.2kg medium rare.. I was surprised he asked me how I wanted it grilled.. I thought it just came pretty much rare.. I opted for medium rare which ended up being pretty much rare . Ordered fries and grilled vegetables. Fries were nice, hot, and crispy. Grilled vegetables (eggplant, zucchini, bell pepper, and tomato was OK.. No seasoning just plane grilled. But steak.. Oh my.. It was soooo yummy. One of the best steak restaurants steak I've ever had.. It was so juicy and flavorful. Price was not cheap but nothing crazy considering the quality of the steak I got. I definitely come back here again. read more

This is the third stop on our Tuesday evening in hunt for the best Florentine steak in town. This location is actually closed due to remodeling. So we explored a few others nearby that didn't seem to match the hype. We decided to head to the Trattoria dall'oste on borgo San Lorenzo. The waitlist was about 15 people around 8:30pm and hostess was rather rude. Almost gave up but right across the street we see the temporary store of trattoria dall'oste that was closed on via dei cerchi. We confirmed with the hostess that indeed it's the same restaurant. Only difference with the one across the street was that they made fresh pasta, and wait time was only going to be about 15-20 minutes. Perfect! Upon getting seated, we found that there was a set menu for two with Florentine steak and other accommodations like water, salad, and crostini for only €38 per person, we asked the waiter the difference between the set menu and the a la carte that had Florentine steak for about €86 per kilo. He was patient and let us know that the set menu was a good price but the type of steak is from Croatia, the a la carte one on the front of the menu was actually from Florence, Italy. Wish we can compare the difference but we opted for the Florentine "chianina" t-bone from Florence, and it was a pretty decent piece of steak! We also got the recommended pappardelle al sugo dicinghiale which was amazing! Perhaps watching a pastaio hand make the pasta in front of you adds kudo points to the actual pasta dish. Nonetheless a delicious pasta. For wine pairing, do try a brunello, it's what Florence is known for. But with so many options on the menu we had to opt for another recommendation. The waiter suggested three kinds of wine for us. We end up choosing the Brunello di Montalcino. We didn't regret the decision. The wine was on the dry side and very smooth. Finally for dessert, do not skip on the tiramisu! It was the best we've had so far. The cream was not heavy at all and paired with just the right amount of lady finger. All in all a pleasant experience. The waiters were accommodating and attentive and was rather genuine in their interactions. We didn't get any vibes of tourist discriminations at all at this temporary location. The one across the street felt more impatient with non-locals. But for the food, it's well worth a stop! read more

They told us 30 min, we waited 1.5hr. We get sat at the seating across the street, which I was originally fine with. Until we had a rude waitress, who just wasn't friendly. Steak was cooked wrong, pasta wasn't fully cooked, still kinda hard. I get al dente but that was absurd. Yes, we finished our food, but we also ate 2 hours later than we expected and weren't going to wait any longer. When asked how it was, we showed our dissatisfaction and we were given a response with no cares given. Rather than our waitress approaching us to pay, another waiter came to close us out, sparing her the awkward dissatisfaction of our meal. My girlfriend told me to keep walking when leaving the restaurant. We've never up left a negative review. I had to say something, being so excited to try a place and leaving frustrated. I told the same hostess and manager that had sat us originally our experience, the manager basically said their under two different managements, as if it's two different establishments, as if we didn't just get sat at the same hostess booth. Essentially giving us the idea, "it's not our problem." So long for wanting to try steak for the first time in Florence and wanting to see what's it's all about read more

We spent 9 days in Italy, 4 in Florence. We had an amazing time and amazing food...this was not one of them. The pasta was flavorless. The meat was better. The service was horrendous, our waiter watched over us and gave us very short answers. It seems as they cater to the tourists instead of keeping the old traditional tuscan food we love. At the end of our meal, we asked for boxes for our deserts and we were denied. There are many many Trattorias and Osterias in the city streets that are so much better than this one. read more

It's overall pricey to eat here if you don't have 30% from forkit reservation. Two of us ordered beef tartare with burrata and florentine t bone. We were going to order just the steak (69 something euros) but the waiter gently pushed us towards the local t bone which is better so we did end up ordering it but be aware that is about 109 euros. The beef tartare is a big portion for pure raw meat. It's simple and slightly salted. It's good but not like amazing to us. The t bone is the bigger game here and they recommended you having it rare because it's quite lean. The meat is good and we enjoy eating it since it's very different from marbled steak in the states. It's just a lot meat for people of two and the waiter still asked us if we want any sides. Oh the wine. It's way over priced. We ordered one best seller which is about 45 euros and regretted that we googled and found out it retailer price is 15. And the wine is just okay. read more

Visited May 22, 2023 Came here for... Yep! You guessed it! Steak!! My wife and I were all jonesed up about coming here and having the world's best steak ever. We both agree the steak was good, but I think I've made steak just as good at home on my Big Green Egg with a good cut of Prime or Angus beef as what we were offered here. I'm sorry but we were just not that impressed. Plus, it's pretty pricey. If you walk around and you look at the other are steak restaurants, and there are tons of them. You will find prices much better for the same cuts of beef, usually T-bones. Would we come back? No, given the multitude of other steakhouses in Florence probably not. read more

This is just a review for the reservation system, we weren't able to eat there because the system is terrible. I made a reservation online and got a "reservation request" acceptance email but apparently that doesn't mean you get a reservation. I got an email 3 minutes later saying the reservation was not accepted, but it's very confusing. Why give time slots that you can accept if they're not available. So we made the walk to eat there from a recommendation from a guide but were told we didn't have a reservation and had to wait over 30 minutes. It's also irritating that you have to subscribe to their marketing emails otherwise you cannot make a reservation. Go somewhere else read more

We were here last yr and enjoyed it. This time, it was very disappointing. Service very slow. It took 25 min to get our wine. The porterhouse for 2 was expensive, tasteless and fatty. They forgot our potatoes. Once we got our steak, there was no wait staff to ask about the missing potatoes. They charged us for the potatoes! We had to ask to have the charge removed. They have so much business, they don't care about customer satisfaction. Our concierge said he'll suggest better restaurants for the rest of our stay. We had planned this eat there twice, but not after this. Too bad. read more

My wife and shared the T bone steak and mushroom Risotto. We had a salad with excellent tomato's. The bread was a bit underwhelming for Italy. We shared a half bottle of inexpensive Chianti which was excellent. The steak was 10 out of 10. The risotto was average and not as good as risotto from other restaurants. The waitstaff was helpful and attentive. Overall a great meal. read more

The good. They took us just before closing. Steak was large, not bad tasting, but nothing I couldn't do on a grill with top-quality grass fed. Ask for a straight-up medium, which came out medium rare. This was solved by using the very hot iron it came on to cook the meat more. Veggies were ok. Lady at the counter was nice. Nice place, not a hole in the wall. The bad. Somewhat rude. Ask for things, and they sort of throw them at you. Nicer if you buy wine. Not all of them. The lady at the counter was pleasant. We had to wait a while for the check. read more

This restaurant provided me with the absolute best steak I've ever had in my life. The service is wonderful, the drinks and food are plentiful, and honestly 1kg of steak is enough for 2-3 people so the food is not really that expensive given the massive portions. Our server provided excellent recommendations that worked with all of our tastes, including my picky parents who normally don't like to eat red meat (but who devoured the food here). The restaurant ambiance is very cozy, and I was really happy with the overall experience. Even though we came here 4 months ago, I still think about the meal we had here! This restaurant is a MUST-GO for anyone who is not vegetarian and visiting the Tuscan/Florence region! One thing to note, here as with most other restaurants in this area there will be little to no cellphone service inside. Just enjoy your food without the disruption of technology! read more

Food and service was just ok. Americans beware, feels like we're not favored amongst the staff. When we were seated, our waiters were chatting pretty loudly, loud enough that we couldn't hear each other's conversation. It feels like the wait staff chose to ignore us because we spoke English. Our waiter doted on other tables, to the point where they were able to preview the meat before being cooked; but we just got what we got! We ordered Tortellini and received Ravoli; we asked about it, more so for understanding what's what here in Italy, but was quickly dismissed from our waiter. We did ask another friendlier staff member and it was explained nicely! As for the food, it was just ok. The steak was a bit overcooked and it was flavorless. The potatoes that came with our dish came out cold and tough. the best item we ate was a French pinion soup. Our total was over 200 euros and we enjoyed the soup, oh and bread!! read more

This place ruined every good memory I have of it from five years ago. The service was horrible. we ordered 2 steaks one showed up and then we had to wait 25 minutes before the second one showed up. They forgot the cheeseburger we had ordered. The mussels showed up and they weren't completely cooked. The servers were really horrible. They made us feel like they were doing us a favor. We had hyped up this place to our friends and we are completely embarrassed. The food looked good and tasted good but I can not recommend this place if service was this bad. read more

Service was good but felt they rushed you. Very Very over priced for a "decent" steak. In terms of value, top 3 worst places I have eaten which says a lot as I consider myself a foodie. Zero ambience sitting in the front section. Our hotel recommended this place when I asked a "casual decent place for our first dinner in Florence". Obviously a tourist trap. A week into our Italy trip and worst place we have eaten so far. read more

The bad: so you're not running around to 4 different locations like we did. The location listed here in jan on cerchi 40R is boarded up right now and the three other expansions are all on the same street on borgo San Lorenz. if you called the phone number listed on Yelp to make a reservation ending in 142, they send you to the smallest place on the street-- likely where they send all the foreigners lol. The other two places had a lot more people but honestly we didn't mind so just be mindful of you like the ambiance of the other locations better and make a reservation at the right one. The decent: we got a bottle of Pinot noir, the pappardelle with boar sauce, the tartare with the fried egg, the wagu with potatoes. All pretty good. Not the best wagu we've had (or the best restaurant we tried in Florence) but I also love ribeyes so it was marbled enough for me and cooked how we like it. There were a few parts over salted for me But my husband loved it. Sure it's on the pricey side against other Italian restaraunts but i didn't see wagu as an option in my cursory search of other restaurants. Note: for service, in Italy you have to flag them when you want something, they're not being rude, they leave you alone. It's different from the US, stop giving them terrible reviews for that and be pleasantly surprised when they happen to be as attentive as American service. I much prefer that then someone asking me if I need something every 5 minutes. The service was fine here. read more
