I definitely recommend you make reservations! It was quite a long wait. The staff was friendly. We ordered a steak and i love how it came out on a hot plate. We were able to cook a couple of slice more for the kids. The French fries was really good. Pasta was cooked al dente. Expensive meal but it was good. read more

2.5/5 Mid steak restaurant in Florence. Somehow, they basically own the entire block with different variations of the same menu focused on pasta vs steak. Make a reservation online to get 20% off! Staff were efficient and vibes inside gave mid-century castle wine cellar. Pictures of cows everywhere LOL. My group ordered: Beef Tenderlion with Green Pepper and Brandy Sauce - 3/5 - Sauce was unique and creamy but the actual steak was tough/rough to eat. There were 2 pieces of bread underneath that nicely soaked the sauce. Bistecca alla Florentina "Chianina" - 3/5 - Specific to Florence and soft to eat but not sure if I would get it again. Bistecca alla Florentina "scottona" - 2/5 Their famous T-Bone steak was extremely disappointing; some pieces were super hard to chew and I had to spit out some pieces. The fat hardened before it even came out. Overall, extremely mid dinner for $255. read more

We came here to celebrate a birthday and really enjoyed the ambience and food. I made a reservation online which they give you a % discount off foods (I got 30% off for booking for a Wednesday 6 pm). I would make a reservation because after 7 pm the restaurant got crowded. So for the food here is what I got. Bread - This came with balsamic vinegar but I felt the bread tasted old or tough. Wasn't my favorite tbh. (1.5/5) Roasted Potatoes - Very Tasty. It's a good complimentary to a good steak. Can't go wrong. (4.5/5) T-Bone Steak - Loved it. So they cook meat a bit more rare than normal. I got medium rare and it was pretty red, so note that. Personally I liked it but my wife would've liked it cooked a bit more. Cost like 76 euro but I liked it and also 1kg was quite hit easily shareable with 3 people. (4.5/5) Tiramisu - We ordered this and they put a candle on it for my wife's birthday. This was delicious and worth the 7 euro. (5/5) Overall I thought this steak spot was pretty good. I would order it medium next time for larger cuts of meat but I do like that everything is lightly seasoned, the meat speaks for itself. With 30% discount from reservation my total bill was 101 euro for two people (shared steak, potatoes, water, and a whole bottle of wine) and we left FULL. read more

Florence was bustling and hot when we arrived, and we were craving a quiet, air-conditioned spot to relax and enjoy a meal. This place was a perfect retreat--low lighting and simple, charming decor gave it a calm, cozy feel that was a welcome escape from the busy streets. Our servers--friendly young men--were helpful and made great recommendations. The steak was absolutely spot-on: tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. My daughter couldn't get enough of her pasta. Even the restroom was impressively clean (always a bonus!). We left feeling refreshed and ready to take on more museums and shops. Highly recommend if you need a peaceful pause in the heart of the city. read more

We'd give this a 3.75 if we could do partial stars, so we've rounded up to 4. The food was good, but didn't "knock our socks off" for the price. The ambiance was nice and staff was friendly. read more

Meh! Didn't bring bread but charged 17 for table service. Steak was super tough even being cooked only to medium rare, but my daughter loved the gnocchi. Would not go back. Well maybe for the gnocchi. They did bring complimentary tiramisu when the server spilt something on my daughter. Husband and daughter loved the tiramisu. Underwhelming experience for sure. read more

Perfect way to start our trip in Florence- having Florentine steak at Trattoria dall'Oste! Everything was perfect- from the friendly and helpful waitstaff, to the delicious food. We ordered Mushroom risotto and Florentine steak with a bottle of Chianti classico. Everything paired well and enjoyed sitting inside, in the beautifully decorated restaurant, next to the window, watching the tourists pass by. Enjoyed every moment! read more

Was really looking forward to going to Dall Oste, Ordered the Steak Florentine but found it full of tough tendons and tough to cut with knife . I was kind of disappointed in the quality of this steak . Ordered a insalada Mista as well , That salad was poor my local diner back in the states make a better Salad . I would recommend finding a different steak house in Florence like Osteria Natalino . The prices here are on the high side as well . read more

We heard about this place and decided to go there for dinner without a reservation just to see if we could get in. The restaurant entrance has some steaks on display showing different cuts. If you've visited other high end steak restaurants you probably would've seen something similar. We were seated within a few minutes of waiting outside. Our server gave us a quick introduction of the menu and we decided to try their famous Florence steaks. We also had a pork dish that tasted pretty good. Overall I give this place a 3 star because the steak wasn't all that impressive and it was a little overcooked. We felt that it was on par with some other steak restaurants we've visited in USA and were not blown away by our experience. read more

The ambiance of the restaurant was very nice. We ordered the local Florentino steak which was huge. It was a bit undercooked for our liking so we kept it on the hot plate longer. One cut of the steak was very chewy but the other cut was much easier to eat. Our side of roasted veggies were a bit bland but they did the job. Overall it was a good dining experience but I probably wouldn't be back given the price tag on the steak and the texture. read more

The place to go for Bistecca Fiorentina. They have other traditional Tuscan dishes as well, but their specialty is the Bistecca Fiorentina. Go for the steak, not the other dishes. Service was just ok. Ambiance was very good and not loud. read more

Good steak but pretty pricey for what it's worth. I would give it a 3.5 stars. Our meal (steak, boar pasta, and a side of potatoes) came out lukewarm and not hot. The table next to us had their steak sizzling and with heat coming off it for the next 2 mins. Our steak was also a bit too chewy which was a little hard to cut. Wish there was more herbs for the pasta. Felt like it needed a bit more flavor. Nice ambiance and you should make reservations in advance. Note that there is a €3.9 cover charge per person. read more

Trattoria Dalloste - Bistecca alla Fiorentina "Chianina" famous grilled steak "Chianina" €104.40 - Tuscan Near Me - Florence, FI

This was our most anticipated restaurant on our trip. It is one of the higher rated steak places in a city of steak places. I was worried that I had built it up in my head but it lived up to its reputation in spades. We were hunting for big game. In this case we were looking to take down a Bistecca alla Florentine Chianina. The Chianina is an ancient all white cow that is native to Italy. These massive beasts can be as big as 6.5 feet and weight as much as 3500 pounds :o. They also make one of the tastiest steaks in the world. We headed over and disaster stuck. I had in my mind made an 8PM reservation. But in reality it was for 7. The host was accommodating despite being packed and we were seated in short order. Service was fantastic. We did get a chuckle when he recommended an American cut. The Food: BEEF, BEEF, WIld Boar, more Beef.... 2020 Marchesi Antinori Tignanello Toscana IGT: I was a bit hesatant as its fairly young but saw they had proper wine service and the wine would be decanted. It came out of the cellar clearly properly stored and was decanted. Barnyard and fennel ont he nose with an Intense ruby red color. with Up front dark jammy fruit and a hint of tobacco. It opened up quite a bit over the course of the meal and had a nice luxurious finish. Tartare con stracciatella, pomodoro secco e uovo croccante: OMG I clearly ordered the wrong tartar. This was my sons order but it was fantastic. Clean fresh beef with a foamy cheese and sundried tomato. The beef is really lean, so the crispy egg yolk which had a runny center added even more richness to the dish Pappardelle al sugo di cinghiale: So good. nice wide noodles tossed in a luxurious wild boar ragu. The silkiness of the sauce paired with the noodles was heaven. Tartare con tartufo e pere: WHile I would have ordered my sons tartar if I had known mine was actually just as good. the same beef preperation but with diced crisp sweet pear. Sweet, salty, and rich all in one bite. The truffled mayo added to richness. Bistecca alla Fiorentina "Chianina": OMG the king of steaks. We selected the 1.4 kg (you can go bigger) and as custom ordered it rare. It was sent out pre cooking to inspect., It came perfectly rare and still sizzling from the hot plate underneath. The filet side was silky smooth and tender. The NY strip side had some of the best beef flavor I have tasted. Its very lean so rare is the way to go here. The beef is prapared minmally with just salt and pepper. It was perfect. They gave us a small bowl of maldon sea salt as a finishing salt. Rucola pomodorini e grana: Arugula, cherry tomatos, and parm. We needed some roughage to move this much meat. It also helped cut the richness of the meal and we felt it made the whole meal healthy lol. Complimentary Grappa was a nice ending Simply a fantastic meal top to bottom and one of the best steak places I have been too. read more

DO NOT GO!! IT WAS SO BAD I WAS INSULTED!! Seriously, don't. They keep taking down my negative post, but I'm reposting cuz I really feel I need to tell my fellow tourists- I ordered the most expensive steak on the menu, thinking it would be good, and literally threw it away. I don't wanna seem rude so I got it to go. I had two bites of it. Which was difficult because the cut of beef was so stringy and uncooked that they probably should have given me a sharper knife., or maybe an ax. read more

We took the bullet train to Florence from Rome. So worth it. The overview, the steak was the best I've ever had and I've eaten steak at the best steakhouses in America. Worth the nine hour plane ride. The service was sub par, which at this caliber of restaurant is a shame. Let me explain. We had reservations and were seated promptly. I wouldn't come here without reservations. During the meal, we were ignored in favor of the Asian clientele. The staff catered to others in the restaurant as did the hostess, who also happened to be Asian. I had to finally ask a waiter to come to my table so we could order and so the night continued like this. We were a footnote. I understand, maybe, if you have some whales in here spending a lot of money and some were. Maybe, if my party were only getting salads but we had a full meal service. We held nothing back including pasta and bottles of wine, still, I had to stand and wave my arms just to get servers to come back to the table while they fawned over others. It was very apparent and very frustrating. Despite this, the meal was so good, the steak so excellent, I had to give 5 stars. I didn't think the price tag was too bad. In Chicago or New York a strip steak alone is $50 for one person. This was $86 for a porter house so big that three people are expected to share. The food was excellent. All of it. We had pasta and three sides along with the massive steak for three. My favorite side was the white beans with sage. They were mild, but so unique. Grilled vegetables, potatoes, all of these dishes were great. The environment was beautiful in the most beautiful city of Florence. This is a must try location in Florence. read more

Food (5) -- one of the most exceptional steaks I have ever had. We had high expectations given the reviews, but the steak and overall food at Trattoria dall'Oste surprisingly exceeded our expectations. We love when that happens! Service (5) -- this is a very busy restaurant with service that is well paced, appropriately attentive but not overly so. Impressive service considering how overwhelmed this place is with people wanting to dine here. Atmosphere (5) -- unique and well done. read more

Let me start off by saying I've never had a steak so good like this before. It was so good that we came back three times just for the steak. We made a reservation for one of the nights but were fortunate to walk-in the other two nights. The restaurant has an upscale feel with attentive waiters. The pasta was also very amazing. You can't come to Florence without coming here! Worth every penny! read more

Convenient location by Il Duomo. Very popular with the tourists with its great menu centered on Bisctecca alla Fiorentina (Florentine steaks). Menu is initially confusing with several groupings of bistecca. Our party of three ordered a carbonara pasta for antipasti. The Florentine carbonara is a must try. Very creamy with pleasant truffle notes. We then ordered two 1 kg T-bone steaks from the second page of the menu - from the section we thought they were featuring. The waitress immediately directed us to the back page of the menu. Our initial selection was apparently sourced "from Poland" ... the "real stuff" (i.e, Tuscan raised cattle) was on the back page. The minimum steak order is a 1 kg steak for every two people in the party - at least our understanding; so we ordered two T Bone steaks. Grilled bistecca had wonderful flavor - although I wished we had asked for more crispy, charred edges. We thoroughly enjoyed our steaks. These are as good as, IMHO, a Ruth's Chris T bone. Not the absolute best steak I have ever had, but up there in the 'elite' steak category. Side dishes were great ... roast potatoes and cicoria. Spacing of the tables are adequate. Ambient noise level on the Friday was normal. A fun experience albeit on the pricey side - €278 for a party of three (includes two rounds of drinks). read more

This reastaurant was the highlight of my Italy trip. My excitement was over the moon. I searched in the web to look for the best steakhouse in Florence, this restaurant was included in the Top 10. The restaurant is so easy to find. It as a walking distance Florence Duomo. I booked a month before my trip. If I clearly remember I booked at the Fork website. Ordered the 1Kg Medium rare Bistecca ala Florentina- Chianina and grilled vegetable. The meat is so tender. I've never had anythign like that. It was super juicy and taste like no other. I enjoy every bite as I closed my eyes in savoring the meat. It was so hard to describe, it is way better to experience it. If you are traveling to Florence, Italy make sure you visit this restaurant. You will never regret it and include this Trattoria Dall'Oste in your bucket list. I highly recommend this restaurant and I will definitely visit again. Grazie read more

Trattoria Dalloste - Tuscan Near Me - Florence, FI

Trattoria dall'Oste boasts of the world's 101-best steak restaurants and they do live up to that name. Firenze's steaks are known to be one of the best in the world and I can now attest to it. It must be the way they cure and then grill the meat. Steaks are not considered Firenze's steaks unless they are 3 fingers or more thick. The best cuts are only sold at 1kg or more. Therefore, you order this huge thick, tender, and juicy steak to share with 2-4 people. Their pasta dishes were really good with great sauces. They are so popular that they have taken over 4 locations on the same street and are still packed with hungry customers. Luckily, their service and staff are quick and friendly. Whenever you are in Firenze, you must stop by Trattoria dall'Oste and try their steaks. read more

Steak was okay. Service was lacking. I don't know if it's the norm in this part of the world but there is no more follow up after you receive your food. We couldn't find our server after our food were served so we have to flag random staff who don't seem pleased to assist us. For the price of the food, you would expect better service but you will not get it from this restaurant. I suggest going somewhere else where your presence and money is appreciated. read more

Huge disappointment. I expected an amazing meal with the amount of reviews and such a high rating in Google. But I've had a lot better steak at other places in Florence. their Florentine steak was very bland. I had to ask for a hot plate and the big salt grains for my Florentine steak. My wife's pasta lacked flavor and the pasta wasn't cooked thoroughly. I don't understand why this place has a huge following. Also, was this restuarant on an Asian YouTube/Tik Tok influencer channel? We noticed we were the only party not Asian in the restaurant. Avoid this place and go to a traditional Italian restaurant if you want real Florentine steak. read more

Perfect place to go for a Florentine Steak! The steak is pricey but worth it! There are many types of cuts too if you may want the traditional Florence specialty. The sides and other dishes are quite affordable. The pasta isn't amazing, but that's not what you should come here for. The wine list is also great and the wine list is expansive. The service was awesome too (ask them to show you the cut of meat before they cook it, it's a nice touch). read more

It's my first time in Florence and after months of researching where to eat the best Bistecca alla Fiorentina, here we are! You definitely need to book a reservation because they are busy. The restaurant was easy to find, clean and cozy and the ceiling has that nice vibe. The service was great also pleasant staff! We had roasted veggies and the amazing Bistecca alla Fiorentina Chianina. The meat was soooo tender and cooked to perfection! I was dreaming about it after the finishing the meal. The price was reasonable and also during our booking online they have a promotional of 30% off (thefork website). I cannot wait to go back to Florence and stay longer. You definitely need to try this restaurant if you're visiting Florence. read more

We were super excited to eat the Florentine steak here as we had seen it on Youtube and it looked great. Things went down hill almost immediately. Our server was non engaging and seemed bothered by our request to share our steak with two friends. When the steak arrived it was over cooked,(medium rare, close to medium actually). We asked for rare. He tried to tell us that's how we should accept our steak and was bothered when we sent it back. He brought us another steak (much smaller than the first) and it was cooked even more than the first! We payed for our fabulous wine and went back up the street to where we had lunch earlier, (Il Grande Nuti, a sister restaurant to Dall Oste and the same server we had earlier that day, who was so kind to us (even though we were sharing an entrée at that time as well), served us a fantastic steak, like the ones we had seen and were expecting. We ended up having a fantastic time with the wait staff. read more

Very busy, There are several locations in Florence and we showed up for a 5:30 reservations but we're told that we were at another location that did not open until 6:00. however this location accommodate us and we were seated within 20 minutes or so. The service was excellent and prompt. We were given the option to order a special even though we were prepared to buy their signature steak and we opted out for the $40 a person special which included a Croatian t-bone, two sids water, and the steak of course. We were served some delicious bread with balsamic vinegar and oil with our bottle of wine which was a Italian Chianti for $35. We then were served a charcuterie of salami, prosciutto, cheese, bruschetta and chicken pate. following we were served our steak, one kilo, cooked to rare on a sizzling hot plate with the most delicious parmesan roasted potatoes and a salad. our meal with tip was $127 which included tip. excellent evening and good. read more

I was adamant that we NOT eat steak in Italy because we are pretty good at making our steaks at home and because when in Rome (or in this case, Florence) we do/eat as they do/eat. But my husband was allured by the sights and aromas of the various steak houses that he needed to try it. After a quick search we found this place and waited for no less than 45 minutes. We were not disappointed. We ordered the Australian wagyu and it was sublime. The restaurant was packed both with tourists and Italians so prepare for a worthy wait. read more

It's a restaurant rated 4.8 with over 13,000 reviews. I had to try it. Reservations are a must. I made my reservation 2 days before and could only find a 6:30 pm dinner table. Staff was very nice and friendly. Prior to even entering the restaurant, the hallway you walk through is lined with refrigerated, gigantic slabs of meat that essentially scream "No VEGETARIANS ALLOWED!" The steak florentine is 1.2 kg and to be honest, it can serve 3 people. It's honestly a bit more raw than I prefer. It looks like it barely kissed the grill. Don't get me wrong, the taste was near perfection: buttery and full of the raw meat flavor that everyone comes here to get. But, because it's barely cooked, it did get pretty chewy. One of my favorite parts of a florentine steak are the meat on the bones. Unfortunately, you couldn't really eat that part because it was so tough and raw. Overall, the steak was delicious. I would recommend people to try it. Steak and the way it's cooked is very subjective to everyone, but for me it was not the best florentine steak I had in Firenze. 2nd best, yes, but not first. read more

I was looking forward to my dinner here for months leading up to my Florence trip and was incredibly disappointed from start to end, as was my family. We had a reservation made a month in advance and had to still wait 20 minutes after our reservation time. Once seated, we waited at least 10 minutes for water and once the server came to take our order, she had no answer to any questions we had (which were a lot because the menu is confusing) and a new server came 5 minutes later and seemed frustrated when we asked for more time after he answered our questions. We had to ask several time for a refill of our waters. The bread on the table was stale and tasted like cardboard. They do not serve wine by the glass, only bottles and 3 cocktails. Our appetizers were okay, but nothing impressive. The florentine steak was definitely the most disappointing part. It was a €150 piece of meat and should have been perfect. Ordered medium and came out medium rare. He told us we could "cook it" on the plate it was served on which was not hot enough to do so. The flavor of the steak was tolerable but it was very fatty, salty, and oily. It actually tasted like it was soaked in oil prior to being cooked. We all left very confused how this could be designated one of the top steakhouses in the world. +bathroom was dirty and seemed it hadn't been tended to all day. No toilet paper and poopy paper towels on the top of the trash can. If you're looking for a good florentine steak try La Giostra! Best food I've ever had. PRO: the steak photographs well. read more
