Fantastic experience! the food, the service and the people were great - Made us feel at home Highly recommend! read more

Stopped here for lunch after arriving in Florence. It was a brutally hot day so we opted for the outside seating to catch a little breeze. Service was fast and friendly and in a minute or two the Aperols were at the table. We weren't super hungry, however, we did opt for some charcuterie while we chatted and were deciding on our next adventure. Everything on the board was excellent. After a couple more Aperols we were on our way. All in all, a nice place to stop and have a drink and watch the people pass by. read more

Di tutti i ristoranti che ho visitato in Firenze, questo è stato il più deludente. L'osso buco, un piatto che aspettavo con entusiasmo, era eccessivamente salato. Per di più, il servizio è stato pessimo. Dopo aver richiesto più volte un semplice olio d'oliva e aceto, sono stato costretto a prenderli da solo dal banco del personale. Sconsiglio vivamente di cenare qui. read more

Trattoria Marione - Tuscan Near Me - Florence, FI

Trattoria Marione was without a doubt our finest dinner in Florence. This may be a bold statement, but this unassuming neighborhood trattoria outdid well known, Michelin-mentioned restaurants. The seating for 2 (no reservation required) in the front room was still cozy. The crostini -- one with tomato, the other with a divine mushroom pâté -- and the pecorino with honey & fruit mustard were incredible appetizers. The first courses of mushroom risotto and cacio e pepe did not disappoint. Second courses of roast pork & eggplant Parmesan were top notch. A shared dessert of tiramisu & a "present" of limoncello (probably because I tipped like an American!) finished an incredible evening. On any future visit to Florence, Trattoria Marione will be where I return. read more

Trattoria Marione - Kind eyes watching over us while we ate. - Tuscan Near Me - Florence, FI

4 of us happened upon this restaurant our 2nd night in Firenze and had a great time with great food and atmosphere. Stefano was so helpful in choosing dishes that we really enjoyed. We returned the next night for Florentine steak and were not disappointed. In a city we so many restaurants, we were so lucky to find such a special experience twice. read more

A very old school, traditional no frills joint that serves up the famous classic Florentine steak. Steaks are all served up by the gram and you can opt for a ribeye cut or tbone. You have no control over how large the portion is but it ranges from $35 to $130 based on the cut. All steaks are served rare -- they do not allow you to adjust the temperature. Limited menu and side options such as just a handful of pasta dishes and other main courses. I would not come here if it's not to enjoy a steak. Relative to other places that serve Florentine steak this spot is very affordable and humble. This is not a spot to come out for a romantic dinner as the ambience is more similar to dining in somebody's older home. There is free wine outside to sip on as you wait. read more

My friend from Florence recommended this restaurant to me and it appeared that other tourists also got the same recommendation. Their Florentine steak was the best that we had during our entire visit to Florence. They do it so well. We also tried fish, lasagna and salad. We ordered a bottle of wine to go with our meal. There is also a menu of specials written on the board. They were very patient with us as tourists and the bathroom downstairs is clean. I highly recommend coming here and coming early (we were here for lunch) because it will get crowded. read more

First rule of eating Florentine Steak. It comes rare so don't ask for it to be cooked any other way. Second rule of eating Florentine Steak. Even if you don't normally eat your steaks rare, do what the Romans do and go with the flow. My sister and one of my nephews don't like it rare but they tried it and loved it. Super popular spot for Florentine Steak. Since we didn't make any reservations, we arrived when it opened for dinner and were seated right away. There is an upstairs and downstairs. Service was outstanding from start to finish. As busy as they were, our waiter was patient in explaining that we should order in kilos. Our mouths were watering with anticipation. That first bite was everything and more. Why can't we have this back home?? Order a pasta or two to go along with your steak. As I am writing this review, I'm salivating. We got to visit two places for Florentine steak in Florence and we all thought this was better than the other one. We also ordered a plate of Salami and Pastrami. OMG, best salami ever and I'm not even a huge fan of salami. It's just different from the ones I have had all my life back in the states. A must visit on your trip to Italy. read more

Our taxi driver recommended this restaurant to have a traditional Florentine style steak. It was absolutely delicious! We also had the homemade lasagna which was amazing. The place was very busy but we got seated within 20 minutes. We sat right next to the kitchen so you can see the chefs moving and shaking which was very cool to watch. I highly recommend going here if you want to eat with the locals read more

Booked a reservation for 3 about a month in advance. Our son became ill and couldn't travel, so we emailed the restaurant a few days before...as a courtesy...and told them we would only have 2 guests in case they wanted to give our larger table to another party. There response was "We don't take reservations for two, so we're cancelling your reservation." They said we could now wait "first come, first served" like everyone else. I thought I was doing them a favor. I guess not. Needless to say, we dined elsewhere that night. read more

We had dinner tonight at this restaurant. Although the food and atmosphere were good, we had the worst experience with the waiter. His name is Michaelo. He was brusque when we asked a couple questions about the menu. He did not bring something I ordered and said I didn't order it. Near the end of the meal he took my wine glass before U was finished and said go to the bar. He later cursed at us in a loud voice the everybody could hear and said how he hates Americans. I would avoid this restaurant. read more

The place gets crowded for dinner and we were lucky to get seated downstairs (yes it has more below the street level). We ordered risotto, tortellini, ossubuco and tiramisu for dessert. Except risotto being on the salty side, all other dishes are simple and tasty. Tiramisu is one of the best we have ever tried and I almost wanted a second plate. That evening we happened to be dining with a large group of people so it got loud in a smaller underground space. And there were a few fruit flies kept attacking our wine so we were constantly paying attention to our glass which is a bit annoying. read more

A young man who was at the same wine bar we were highly recommended this trattoria, he happened to be a server there, as well. He didn't steer us wrong! The food was great and service was outstanding! The wine bar that's affiliated, a block or 2 away, was outstanding as well! read more

Great tortellini ragu withbechamel pasta spinach and atmosphere very way good wine selections

Pessimo servizio e cibo al di sotto della media. 1) Avevamo prenotazione per le 630 ore di apertura e quando siamo arrivati verso le 632, ci hanno chiesto di aspettare fuori perche` il management finire di cenare. Poi finita la loro cena, dovevano ovviamente prendere il caffe`. Ma scheriziamo. Poi nonostante fossimo i primi ad entrare nel ristorante ci hanno condotto al piano sotterraneo in un bruttissimo angolo. (Invece che accoglierci al piano terra dove e` piu carino ed ospitabile). Il cameriere era estremamente maleducato e puzzava di sigaretta. Sconsiglio questo posto. (Il cameriere, fra l'altro, ci ha detto che non prendevano prenotazioni solo per due persone. Pero` sul loro sito questo non e` dichiarato o comunicato durante la prenotazione. Il cibo bistecca alla fiorentina era sotto cotto (undercooked). Abbiamo deciso di non prendere secondo o dessert e di andarcene. Un schifo. read more

Fantastic historic trattoria, with a great Florentine menu. Unique establishment with a traditional depth, and charming decoration. Service is impecable and food is so good. The meat is truly exceptional. Do not miss the more elaborated osso buco, and the ragout with white beans. Pasta is incredible here, and do the house made cakes. A safe heaven in a city full of tourist traps. read more

We stopped 30 mins before the restaurant opened and asked for a reservation for 5, and the owner was able to get us a table.

Great lively ambiance, noticed mostly locals which is a great sign! Friendly service and food was delicious

The place is authentic, the fusilli with Pesto was the best pasta dish I've had, and I have pasta whenever I can. Service was courteous and efficient, prices were more than fair. We were in Florence 4 nights, we dined there twice! read more

The absolute best restaurant we went to in a 2 week trip to Italy. Mix of locals and visitors. Very friendly, helpful service, and very reasonable prices. The food was simply incredible. We started with a sampling of meats. Our entrees were a fantastic truffle pasta and the ribollita, which was the perhaps the best thing I've eaten ever. Highly recommend these dishes, this restaurant, this city. read more

A perfect hidden gem in Florence with amazing food, great service, and even better prices. If you want a fancy look, go elsewhere. Walking in it felt like we stepped back in time dining at a local mom and pop sort of restaurant with dried meats hanging from the ceiling. My wife and I had delicious food with large portion sizes. We ordered the dried Tuscan meat antipasti, truffle pasta, cacio e Pepe, and the "grilled beef with potatoes". The grilled beef with potatoes was a perfect way to taste delicious Florentine steak without having to order a monstrous t-bone. It was all incredible and even the potatoes oddly were to die. read more

Hands down great restaurant in Florence . Our taxi driver recommended the place and said it's a local favorite . So we tried it one night and went back the next day because the food was so good . Loved the ambiance and the staff were welcoming. Their lasagna is one of the most popular dishes and it was something I still think about because it was that good . For desert I tried their tiramisu and it was the best I've had also. read more

This delicious meal will satisfy your soul. I happened to dine at the fine refectory in July, and ordered the classic Tuscan Steak and Penne Al Ragu. I suggest dressing slightly upscale, and avoid wearing white or light colored articles of clothing. Food arrived within 15 minutes, and was served with a cheerful disposition. I highly suggest coming here on your trip to Florence in order to fully relish the true Tuscan dining experience! read more

We are Americans visiting and saw that there was a line outside this restaurant so we gave it a try. It was a fun, lively atmosphere with locals and tourists dining. We enjoyed the lasagna (white sauce ) and bolognese pasta dishes. My husband had the steak which he really liked but it was cooked too rare for me. The wine by the glass selection is limited but they have several options by the bottle. Surprisingly the bread is not good so treat yourself to an appetizer. read more

One of our greatest meals during our trip to Italy - everything came out perfect . Highly recommend

We were here in March and loved it. Back in August and a total disappointment! The service was very slow and the food had no flavor. My son's filet was barely edible. We were seated before the other tables and waited over an hour in a half for our food. It got so late, we lost our appetite. They brought us the eggplant parm before the other entrees, so my daughters boyfriend ate without us. My husband got the meatballs and he said it looked and tasted like diner food. The waiter took 13 euros off our bill and it still cost 180 for 7 with one 1/2 carafe of the house wine and 3 sodas. read more

I am sad I fell into this tourist trap. The doors opened at 7:00 and there was a line at the door. The restaurant has an upstairs dining area and a basement. We were taken straight to the basement. I noticed all the tourists were seated in the basement, not an Italian in site. My first theory is that they reserve the upstairs for locals, which was noticeable upon our departure. Tasteless bags of bread were tossed on every table. We asked if they had any butter, they said no, only olive oil and balsamic, which would have been fine, but they were clearly cheap. There was one waiter for all the tables. We were told they were out of lasagna after just one guest ordered. My other theory is they saved lasagna for upstairs. The ravioli was frozen for sure, the sauce tasted canned. The Florentine steak was just ok, but mostly bone and of course sold by weight. I just really felt duped. Don't let reviews and their beautiful website fool you like it did me. Within blocks you will find plenty of other trattorias worthy of your money. I have learned that I won't make a reservation based on random "best of" lists, but rather by asking friends or locals, or walking around, and letting my own eyes, nose, and the number of Italians enjoying the meal be the judge. read more

Clemente, Clemente, Clemente! What an incredibly enthusiastic and entertaining waiter! On top of his immensely talented service, Osso Bucco and amazing tartufo pasta. I can't say enough about this place having come for a second time visiting Firenze! read more

The Florentine steak is to die for!! Seriously, it's tender, fresh, flavorful and just melts in your mouth like butter. House wine is a great deal, as it is cheap and delicious (no bad wine in Italy!!) Our waiter was so sweet. He apologized for our food taking a while & brought us a plate of prosciutto on the house. They also serve complimentary bread and limoncello post dinner. Can't get better than this! Come here for a delightful meal! read more

In three decades of visiting Florence each year, we have overlooked this place. We ate there for the first time today, and will probably return tomorrow. The typical Tuscan stuff is in the menu: ribolitta, tripe, bistecca and tartufi, but they have everything else, too. Service is cheerful and quick and what comes out of the kitchen is first class. The two of us enjoyed our soprasata di testa, caprese with mozzarella di bufala, and linguini al pesto (all pictured) and the sr to di Manzo con verdure (not picturesque, just tasty) read more

I was told that "You must have Bistec Della florentine ". This is a T Bone steak thick cut 2-3 inches thick! So we did... Wow I was so underwhelmed and unimpressed. It is ordered rare. And came with nothing but 2 mouthfuls of arugula and shredded carrots (salad). We also had the meat lasagna (average) and chicken and potatoes (dry chicken and no taste). On top of this tasteless table full of food, the service was terrible (average for an Italian restaurant, terrible in American taste) and the size of the place is just average (Italian standard- average, American standard - elbow to elbow). I will recommend getting bufalo mozzarella. That was good but how can you mess up mozzarella and tomatoes??? Ciao! read more

Trattoria Marione just happened to be super close to my apartment in Firenze, but it honestly took great Yelp reviews to get me here. Having said that, I visited here twice during my stay, because it is that good! Eating alone on a solo trip can be intimidating, and I will admit that it was probably the most intimidating here at Trattoria Marione simply because, if you get seated downstairs (which I did both times), it's pretty intimate down there...lots of couples, families, date nights, etc. But the staff did not make me feel awkward at all and truly catered to everything I might need. All-time favorite dish here is not even super Italian - it's the roasted chicken with rosemary potatoes! Wow guys, this dish here is OUT OF THIS WORLD. I don't know if they douse this in a gigantic jug of lard and oil, but it is phenomenal. The chicken skin is crispy and delicious, and the meat is tender and nicely seasoned. Having the accompanying potatoes marinate in the oils just completes this dish. I ate this dish both times that I visited, and I would recommend anyone visiting Firenze check this out and get the roasted chicken! You are given a bottle of natural water when you arrive (but it's not free, obviously) and a basket of bread. I added an insalata verde in there just to get some greenery going. There are many things about this restaurant that give you the cozy feeling of being in an Italian home. The servers are all locals, the menu is handwritten, and the dishes change frequently. There is never a lack of business here. In fact, I am surprised that they were able to seat me both times without reservations. Definitely one of my favorites in Firenze, and I will be back on all of my subsequent trips! read more
