It's a charming, homestyle feel with the Italian dishes you would expect, all extremely well done. One standout dish was the Sformato di Carciofi con Fonduta di Burrata (Artichoke Flan with Burrata (Creamy Mozzarella) Fondue). This is one of the best dishes I have tasted in a long time, and the name is misleading to me. It's more of a creamy ground artichoke burrata salad. It's fabulous! The service was spectacular too. read more

Made a reservation here based on some internet recommendations and it did not disappoint. Our waiter was incredibly kind and welcoming to our group, the restaurant was quaint and cozy. The ragu pasta was delicious. my friend had the veal steak and thought it could've used some more flavor but was overall solid. I had the potato gnocchi with shaved truffles, although I wouldn't say it was the best pasta I've ever had it was a solid option. Overall would recommend for a good meal and good atmosphere read more

Nice dinner in a cozy dimly lit wine cellar basement (fyi small curvy stairs may be a problem for folks with a disability); tables were also fairly close to each other - we ended up talking for most of the night with the two other two-tops next to us. We had the asparagus salad (which was raw thinly sliced asparagus, tossed in a salad); two pasta dishes - the sage, spinach, and ricotta ravioli (3 empanada-sized raviolis), Florentine ragu; and shared a mid-price-point chianti. I enjoyed the experience and would go again, though my partner felt that the pasta was 'good but not memorable'. read more

We looked forward to revisiting this old favorite trattoria. It was our travel day, so we had an unfashionably early reservation. By the time we left, there was a line outside. Francesco, our waiter, was very nice. This is an unpretentious restaurant. There were three dining rooms. The small room we were in was furnished simply, with a mix of tourists and Italian speakers. There was a lot of moderately priced wine available. It's almost never worth spending the money on expensive wine in Florence. We were started off with some typical Tuscan bread. Two of us ordered excellent butterflied shrimp with white beans as appetizers. My buddy and I split an order of perfectly prepared tagliatelle with porcini mushrooms. My wife had the same pasta as her entree. My friend's wife had tagliatelle with a beef ragu. My buddy and I shared a majestic order of steak Florentine. It was cooked and seasoned just right. It was accompanied by excellent roasted potatoes and white beans. The price was a bargain at €100 for two. We were too full for dessert. This nice place will always be at the top of my to do list in Florence. read more

Wow. From the service to the wine to the limoncello, we had the absolute best evening. We sat downstairs which was perfection. Started with the burratta and ham. Excellent. Wine menu was extensive. Florentine steak fed 3 EASILY. Truffle pasta was delish and fed 3. Sea bass fed 2 and we split a pasta. read more

I took my daughter here for her 30th birthday and I can't say enough about this place. The staff, the ambiance, the food, the location, the price...it was fabulous. We sat in the wine cellar, and yes, it is small, but you are in Firenze so there really aren't huge dining places like this for a special occasion. We had the Firenze steak Florentine for two and OHMYGOSH!!!!!!!!! The shrimp cocktail for the appetizer was so fresh and delicious and the wine. THE WINE...it all was just spectacular, and they made my daughter feel like the star of the show that night!!! read more

Yesterday morning, we asked the hotel to make a reservation at this restaurant for five people at 8:00 p.m. At 7:30 p.m., hotel staff called our room to remind us about the reservation. However, when we arrived at the restaurant, they said there was no table. The restaurant manager claimed that someone had called to cancel the reservation, which shocked us. The manager had given our table to someone else, which was very upsetting. After arguing our case, they finally arranged a very small, cramped table near the entrance. This is a restaurant with extremely poor credibility, bad service attitude, and dishonesty! read more

Ate hear twice in three days it was so great. Lovely atmosphere, staff was great (except our server the second time, she was a bit nasty but whatever) and the food was AMAZING. Gnocchi was the best I've ever tasted, hands down. Highly recommend this place. Make a reservation though. read more

Best place we ate at in Florence. The service, owners and entire staff was so accommodating (though I'd have loved to dine in the wine cellar but just another reason to come back :) The ambience and food were exceptional. Chefs kiss! read more

Don't go here. The food was excellent, but I was ignored by the staff all night. I ran out of water, bread, and wine without anyone approaching me to see if I needed more. I was really looking forward to a romantic dinner on my holiday, but the service as terrible. Don't sit in the basement. The staff doesn't like to spend much time down there to see if you're need anything. read more

Incredible steak, even better potatoes. The ambiance is lively, familia and cozy. Be prepared to wait if you don't have a reservation. The staff was kind and communicated with us in English as we needed. Would absolutely recommend for any Firenze visitors at least once. read more

The service was excellent and the food was superb! Everything came out at perfect temperatures and the server recommended a great wine with our appetizers! She also recommended a great red wine with the pasta! Amazing food and ambience read more

Ambiance nice, we sat downstairs. We ordered the Tuscan steak and a bottle of wine. The steak was very tough, extremely hard to cut and served rare, not to my liking. I asked our server if it should be tough, he said no and they quickly jumped on it and cooked us a filet and charged us for the filet vs the more expensive tuscan style. The filet was good but I make better at home so again kinda a letdown. They should have asked us first if we wanted something else vs. assuming we wanted the filet. Long story short, they were very very attentive but the steak was a big letdown and it was out last night in Florence and this was a recommendation. I'd pass when in Florence again unless they were pouring some Fortaleza Tequila! read more

One of the best meals, and definitely the best service we had in Florence! It was more fancy, and in result more expensive than the others as well, but it was a nice mix up. The layout was really cool because it was like 4 or 5 floors. We were on the bottom floor which had a cellar ambiance lit by candles. I got the truffle gnocchi which was the first time I had fresh shaved truffle - YUM. I ate my leftovers in the airport with zero shame. My dad had the boar tagliatelle and loved it. read more

My favorite place in Florence. The setting in the cellar is the best, food to die for and the service the best! Can't wait to come back!

Stop what you're doing. If you are in Florence go here now. If you're not in Florence book travel plans. You may have lived an exciting life, but your life is not complete until you have eaten here. We were in Florence for three nights. We ate here for two of them. In between, we made the mistake of thinking any other restaurant on earth could match this one. Not a mistake we made twice. Enjoy a first course of any of the pasta, you will not be disappointed. The second course (or only course because it's HUGE), Florentine Steak. Cheesecake for dessert. If you want to live a fulfilled life this is non negotiable. If you like wine, enjoy a pleasant Italian narration of the finer points of each wine pairing you may enjoy. Try not to get lost in the smooth accent before you're greeted by Giovanni, the executive chef (who will remember you by name, and spend time getting to know you, and preparing a dish custom to your hearts desire). This restaurant, the Executive Chef Giovanni, their fine dishes, excellent customer service, it makes the world a better place. Be part of a better world, eat this cheesecake. read more

So we were very excited to try this place and have the Florentine steak. Let's just say it was very interesting at €95 for two people which is the minimum order the pasta shared for €19 was actually not bad. I guess maybe I'm just not enough of a person to enjoy the mound of undercooked meat we were served. I do agree with what people say about the potatoes. They were fabulous. Service was great, and the wine was very good too. I'm glad we tried it, but that's a one and done sort of thing. read more

Love this place. Did it last year and again this year. Great basement table, wonderful staff, fantastic food. Most did the Florentine steak, I had great fish. Before was a wonderful antipasto spread. It's my company's pace every year , year after year for our annual meeting read more

Delicious Florentine steak (perfectly grilled) and potatoes - full of flavor, and pasta... but it was the tiramisu... AMAZING! We finished off the first tiramisu so quickly (and fought over it) that we had to order another. Honestly, I could eat a whole, huge tray if they allowed it. One last note, the service. It was NYE, and they were super busy; however, a man (dressed in white) who seemed like the manager was SO attentive to everyone coming in and out of the restaurant held such a collected calm. He was a tall guy, which would seemed intimidating; but after placing my to-go order, you could tell he was a nice guy that is very generous with his time. The second time (to order another tiramisu to go), I went in with my 3-year-old daughter and he gave a kind smile and a pinch of her cheek that was very endearing. I want to wish him and his staff a great new year! read more

After reading so many reviews, we were excited to book at Parione. We arrived early and were turned away as they were not quite open, which was fine, but we noticed others going in early and being seated. We checked in for our reservation and were seated on the main floor in a corner (rather than the cellar or even a nice window table) where our server took drink orders but did not provide her name. Our first appetizer, the prosciutto and melon was phenomenal; even after weeks of touring Italy, we agreed this prosciutto had the best flavor with a melon so perfectly ripe. Our second appetizer (salami with pear and cheese) was slightly disappointing as the pear was no where near ripe. Our goal for the evening, however, was the Florentine steak. We ordered one for the table (it's served as a 1.2 kg, 2 person minimum with potatoes and beans) with the intent to order more food, and did not finish it. The meat was perfectly cooked (medium rare at most, and that's traditional so if you don't like that, don't order anyone's Florentine steak), but lacked any seasoning and was tough. The potatoes and beans were lovely, but none of us wanted seconds of the meat. To top it off, our server never came back other than when we flagged her down to get our check. This seemed atypical though as we watched other servers interacting with their clients in a more familiar manner. Likewise, every table not ordering the steak seemed enchanted with their food. We left somewhat hungry and got other food elsewhere. Very disappointed, and as we've had Florentine steak before, we know it can be better. read more

We ordered the pice and the bisteca florentina. The pice is like a thick spaghetti that you won't find often and comes in a broth like sauce loaded with spices, bacon and cheese. Each bite is phenomenal and would definitely order again. The steak florentine was something I have been looking forward to and we were very pleased to have parione recommended to us. The steak is naturally cooked rare which is more rare than usual for us but wanted to try traditional. The whole thing was so tender and juicy and flavorful. This is an easy recommendation for anyone in Florence read more

We loved this spot so much that we went twice. Our waiter was unbelievable and made great suggestions, we especially loved the wine he recommended. The food was delicious, extremely fresh and hot and they were so welcoming and encouraged us to stay as long as we wanted which is such a refreshing change as opposed to the USA where restaurants want to turn the table quickly. You will not be disappointed stopping here! read more

Ive been to florence 5 times. Its my favorite city in the world. I stumbled on this place on my way home after a day of shopping and exploring new areas. My food was delicious. I was a walk in on a Monday night. It was 7pm and by 9 was still slow. I was not greeted. I felt like i was in the way trying to navigate eho to check in with. The first person I interacted with smiled and said hello but didnt instruct me who to speak to and i thought i was to follow him. I wasn't! When i finally met with the owner or manager, he was arrogant & rude. He acted like it was a burdon that i had not made a reservation in his empty restaurant. I knew it was early so i expected the place to fill up and let him seat me in a corner with my back to a window. I heard him greet others with reservations much more graciously & let them pick where they were to sit. The wine cellar would have been fantastic! A couple with a small child was seated next to me and we chatted a bit (this was ok for me as I'm social but with all the space it was odd to seat a family right next to a single person who had to adjust to let them get into the tiny space). The same rude manager later put things on my table as he served them (as if I didn't exist) for his convenience (plates and later the charge machine). He even pulled a chair away from my table without asking causing my bag to drop on the floor with no apology!!! On a good note; My server was sweet. Gnocchi was the best I've ever had. Cheese cake was so light & delicious but if you're looking for the generous, kind loving Italian experience, its not here. read more

Every year I visit Firenze I walk to this trattoria give it is just a block away. Again in 2023 Parione does NOT disappoint. Original Tuscan cuisine paired w an excellent and extensive wine list. Of course their meat dishes are selected by most patrons, but I am very pleased w their fish selections. A great place to spend 2 hours + having a dining experience. read more

We had lunch in this wonderful restaurant while walking around ponte vecchio and historic center. The food was amazing: we had tagliatelle al cinghiale, bistecchina di vitello con patate al forno, the gamberoni con fagiolini bianchi and we loved all dishes! The cinghiale was stewed to perfection with rich flavor, the gamberoni were fresh and butterflied for grilling so were tender and very flavorful and my daughter loved her bistecca so much that she picked up the bone and nibbled off all the little pieces of meat she could get off the bone. We had some Prosecco and great Brunello di Montalcino wine with our meal. The service was attentive and very friendly. The restaurant has air conditioning so a really extra good choice in hot days as it also provides a break from the heat. read more

Really cute place with good service. I would get the "filet mignon" instead of the Florence bistecca if I went again, but we ordered it for the experience- and it was still good. We actually re-cooked the steak and potatoes for breakfast the next morning (good). The wine was awesome. Service was awesome. Would DEFINITELY GO BACK!!! read more

Very inviting and fun with great food choices. Always available is the Steak but here an abundance of choices in pasta dishes still lead the way. Reasonable and in a nice neighborhood near St Regis, but make a reservation here and most places now that I think of it. The cellar is a fun place to have your meal btw. But anywhere here you will feel welcomed. read more

My family and I just left one of the most fun and delicious nights I can remember. This restaurant is not only delicious but the service is amazing. Please ask for Gianni you won't be disappointed.

I also highly recommend their cheesecake. I can't say enough about the gem of a restaurant. read more

Walking distance from our hotel and popped in for lunch. Did not have a reservation but they accommodated us. Fun to see all the famous-people photos on the walls. Started with yummy pear/cheese/salami salad. Shared a couple pastas for lunch - Spinach ravioli in a cream sauce and maccheroncetti with tomatoes/Mozza/and basil. Simple and delicious. Prices were in the $25 euro range for the lunch entrees but it was worth it. read more

Came here during a visit to Florence. Be sure you make a rez! We sat downstairs in the wine cellar, which was very nice and unique. Our server was fabulous. We started with the Tuscan cheese and charcuterie board, which was surprisingly big. Careful not to fill up! Next was gnocchi with truffles. There was such a generous portion of truffle, and the gnocchi was so soft, tender, yet chewy in the most perfect way. The main was a huge florentine steak, which was more than 1kg. It was fantastic! Served with a side of beans, the steak was definitely the highlight of the meal. We had tiramisu and cheesecake to finish. Both are delightful, and the overall experience was simply divine. read more

I was looking for restaurants with truffle pasta(s) and the hotel concierge recommended Trattoria l' Parione. I'm glad she was able to make reservations for us because there was a line forming when we arrived. We were seated in the cellar which was quite charming and added to the romantic atmosphere. Our server was very friendly and helped us through the menu. We ordered black truffle fettuccini, a truffle steak, and a bottle of wine. I was super disappointed with the pasta. All I tasted was olive oil, noodles and truffle shavings. The steak itself was good but I was hoping for something more innovative than just truffle shavings on top. Overall, the atmosphere was great, the service was good, and the food was mediocre. I wouldn't recommend going out of your way to dine here and be careful about what you order. read more

We walk down a cobble stone road, we turn to see a small entry way into the restaurant. We are greeted by the Manager who tell us to follow him. He walks us down a spiral staircase leading to a lovely wine cellar. We sit and gaze at the brick surrounding us, marveling at the copious amounts of wine. Our waiter walks in with a smile as we place our order. Soon enough a large piece of steak is placed upon our table. We look at one another, wondering how can we ever finish this, but fear not, we did. Full of food and wine, the waiter comes in with a small tray holding shots of grappa. We drink some more, meet the chef, and stroll back into the beautiful town of Florence. Great food, great staff. Had a blast! read more

Fantastic restaurant with great service. The waiter was really friendly and made some great recommendations for food and wine. I selected osso bucco with black rice - super tender, huge portion (almost American in portion). The waiter recommended Rosso de Montepulciano by the glass to go with the lamb shank and it was excellent - not too heavy to overwhelm the food but just enough to balance the sauce of the lamb shank. Very happy camper after the meal. read more
