Dante and his team are amazing! You will be greeted with warm, family-like appreciation for your visit! The food is wonderful, and the atmosphere is so quaint. All of the detail in the building architecture confirms you are in a beautiful Italian town. We enjoyed pizza, pasta, cheeses and meats. Dante's appetizer had us returning a second night (in a row!) to enjoy with delicious prosecco. This restaurant is just outside of the main area and that makes it even more enjoyable! read more

No gluten free pasta or pizza options here. Free wine with any entree order. Had a group of 21 people and Dante was so accommodating. Warning that they do not split the check. Chicken was cooked well and very good and my friends loved there pizzas and highly recommend. Unlimited wine is also such a good pregame spot. read more

We were staying nearby, and we didn't feel like walking back through the crowds, so we thought we'd give this place a try. We were able to walk in for an early dinner without a reservation in late September, but it did fill up more as the evening continued. We enjoyed the Dante salad which included prosciutto and Parmesan cheese along with greens and tomatoes. Dressing was olive oil and vinegar in bottles which was perfect. I had the Florentine Risotto which reminded me a bit of a stuffed pepper filling; it was good comfort food for a slightly rainy evening. The panna cotta for dessert was creamy and delicious and the cappuccino went nicely with dessert. Service was good and the atmosphere was quiet and relaxing. Definitely not a bad option if you're in the area and want a break from the crowds across the river. read more

So I went out and read some of the 1 star reviews. I have to say these reviews are posted by delusional people. We ate at this restaurant 4 times for both lunch and dinner. The service was excellent. The manager was extremely patient and understanding. I watched the poor guy split separate tickets on a table of about 12 American college students. We had their special one night, which consisted of a 2' T-bone steak, bruschetta, a bottle of Barbera wine, roasted potatoes and desert for 60 Euros (~73 USD). The prices were more than reasonable, The food was excellent and the servers were attentive. The ambiance was amazing. Just be sure to tell the waiter how you want your steak to be cooked. Now, it helps if you speak Italian. This eliminates any confusion these 1 star people may have had. I personally recommend this restaurant. It was a true find. read more

Worst dining experience in 20 years in Florence -- slow service, wrong food, bad pizza, and dishonest about payment. Avoid at all costs. Absolutely the worst dining experience in 20 years of coming to Florence. The door shows they accept American Express, but when it came time to pay, they refused. Service was unbearably slow, and when the food finally arrived, it was wrong. We ordered a Caprese and got mozzarella with prosciutto. We ordered two pizzas, but they brought only one--and it was terrible. Do yourself a favor and avoid this restaurant. Florence has far better choices. La peggior esperienza a Firenze in 20 anni -- servizio lentissimo, cibo sbagliato, pizza pessima e poca onestà nei pagamenti. Da evitare assolutamente. Assolutamente la peggior esperienza culinaria in 20 anni a Firenze. Alla porta c'è scritto che accettano American Express, ma al momento di pagare hanno rifiutato. Il servizio è stato lentissimo e quando il cibo è arrivato era pure sbagliato. Abbiamo ordinato una Caprese e ci hanno portato mozzarella con prosciutto. Abbiamo ordinato due pizze, ma ne è arrivata solo una--ed era pessima. Fatevi un favore ed evitate questo ristorante. A Firenze ci sono opzioni decisamente migliori. read more

This place was just what we needed! You get a Florentine Steak, bruschetta, a bottle of wine, and choice of still or sparkling water for €50. The staff is SO nice here. They speak English, too and really want you to appreciate the food. They even asked me how we enjoy the steak and if it's cooked to our liking. I don't know many places around here that ask if it's okay, because they typically like to serve steak the way the chef intends it to be cooked and there's little room to have steak the way you prefer. It's the Florentine way! We actually ordered it the usual way but they STILL wanted to make sure we were happy. The wait staff was wonderful, greeting everyone that passes by and they stand at the door to wait for their guests to service their every need. The steak was well seasoned! This American girls needs additional salt and pepper most places around here I visit but this steak was perfect. The salad was not that great, and the rosemary potatoes were okay, but that's not what I came here for. I will definitely return when I'm in the area! read more

Dante is the worst restaurant in Florence. Service, wine, food, and waiters are beyond terrible. Went there twice and regretted both times. My friend only ate half her pizza and asked for a Togo box and the waitress yelled no and picked up the plate and left. There are usually only 1-2 servers and both are not helpful and rude. read more

I have a mixed opinion of this restaurant, especially when it comes to the ambiance. As a student coming here for free wine with dinner this place can be a good choice to have long conversations, lots of wine, and getting to know the chatty owners. However if you're an adult trying to have an intimate dinner I wouldn't come here. Eat dinner here if you want free wine and cheap food. At lunch time the scene is definitely a lot more professional and calm. The food was alright. I wouldn't recommend the pesto pasta, but the pizza and calzones are pretty good and the dough is great. read more

Cute local trattoria in Florence. Service - excellent/ the waiter greeted us immediately and took our beverage order. Food - ordered the pizza, thin crust and IMO, the crust needed more salt but acceptable. Prices are very reasonable. read more

This was truly the best service and food I have had in Florence. After being her for 5 weeks I have never felt more welcomed. Although the restaurant was quite large the service was very attentive. Even Dante came up to us multiple times to check on my group to make sure we were being treated well. Plus it was the cheapest meal I have had yet! read more

Amazing service and super yummy food! I personally love the pizza!! The staff is so fun and friendly. Great spot to bring your friends.

Ever since arriving to Italy I always almost ordered a lasagna come dinner time. I finally did and it was a big mistake. Seriously, Maria Callender's frozen lasagna is better than what this place serves. And we didn't even finish the pizzas, which never happens. read more

I never write reviews but this time I couldn't not say anything. Was expecting bottomless wine here. They give you 3 tiny pitchers for 6 people and then cut you off. Besides that, the servers are incredibly rude. It started off in the beginning of our meal when they laughed at us for not getting water? They are currently laughing in our faces and saying "fuck you" in sign language to me. They will ignore the customers when they ask for a simple request and once again laugh in their faces. The waitress even rolled her eyes when a few people at the table decided to order the same meal. If I could give this place 0 stars I would in a heartbeat. read more

Service was slow, but staff was kind. Wine was good, food was... alright. Pasta was nice texture. I had the fettuccine alfredo, it had a good amount of sauce, but it was bland. Would have liked a little more flavor. Dining are was nice but be warned, there is no AC and will get very hot in the summer read more

Great atmosphere and service. I really felt like I was part of the Dante family and that everybody knew my name by the end of dinner. Unlimited wine definitely takes the cake for one of the most memorable spots in Florence. The pastas I felt were very reasonably priced and delicious. Not pictured is the spinach which I would recommend adding to any dish. read more

Our waiter was incredibly rude. We weren't served for 30 minutes after getting here. We were completely respectful and had to walk up to get someone's attention. It still took 10 more minutes. We asked for white wine and we're told "no". We were only one glass in (almost completely sober). We are unsure about why there was so much negativity towards us. The food was alright. We asked for more wine almost 4 times and we're not served once. He also asked if we wanted water twice, and brought it 10 minutes after we asked the second time. Would dine again if service was better. :) read more

As students, Dante's came highly recommended for its fun atmosphere and unlimited wine. I came to celebrate my birthday here and made the reservation one week in advance. When I showed up, they made my group wait an hour. We were frustrated and starving and the staff was not apologetic. Despite the rough start though, we had a good time. A few weeks later my friend had her birthday and although hesitant, decided to give Dante's a second chance and made a reservation a week in advance. Once again, not only did they also fail to honor the reservation this time for over a full hour, but they were unapologetic and dismissive. They kept lying telling us 5 minutes and would not seat us. They would not apologize or admit to not honoring the reservation. Once seated, we were cast into a corner downstairs-isolated, dewey, and smelly. They did not give us menus, enough cups or utensils. They then proceeded to mess up half of our orders forgetting some of my friends meals entirely and bringing us pasta instead of chicken which our gluten free friend could not eat. Every request took hours, with a small request of bringing balsamic for an undressed salad taking over 45 minutes. Aside from the waiter Jimmy who was kind and hardworking, rude staff and will not be returning. I do not recommend unless you have absolutely nowhere to be and are okay being treated like gum on a shoe. Unless you're willing to have a 4 hour dinner where only about 30 minutes consists of eating, I don't recommend. read more

We arrived in Florence around 3:30pm and most restaurants were either closed since it was Sunday, or closed in between lunch and dinner. Since we were famished and didn't want to wait until 6pm to eat, I searched on Yelp and found Dante! As other reviews have mentioned, Dante offers a more Americanized menu and it seems like the clientele is a majority of foreign exchange students. My husband had the fettuccine alfredo and I had the dante pasta (red creamy sauce with mushrooms and rigatoni pasta). The portions were larger and our entrees were very generous on the sauce. Service was slow and our food took awhile but they might have been understaffed due to the meal time. Pricing was a little high compared to other meals as well. There are so many other places in Florence that you should check out instead! read more

If I could give zero stars I would. This place is very rude towards Americans and the service in general is horrible. The food is trash and the wine is disgusting. I am appalled that I even spend one night at this place. We were seated in the dinging with other Americans because they hate us. We were told there was bottomless wine but we only got served two glasses. Do not go here. read more

The only positive about this place is the fair price of food for the location. When it comes to friendliness and attentiveness, it's nonexistent. We ordered a pizza (10 euro), pasta dish (14 euro), and bruschetta (7 Euro). None of it was spectacular by any means, though the bruschetta was rememberable. Other than that, the wait staff went out of their way to be rude. They also charge a 3 Euro cover charge per person that is added to the bill. You may save a quick euro by eating here, but I promise it's not worth it. I would recommend skipping this place unless you enjoy being treated like crap, and if that's the case I recommend a therapist! read more

This place is probably the worst place in the world to ever go eat. It is preposterous that they could even call this place and establishment. It took about 20 minutes to get a wine and they were so rude. My friend got the Alfredo and it was the most bland pasta in the whole entire world. Never think to come here and get a good meal or even have a good time. The waiters were eating and drinking three tables over from us and ignored us the whole time. The wine was cold and disgusting. read more

Went for a friends birthday. Barely even sat us even though we had a reservation and phone call to prove it. The waitress was then very rude the whole night. We all ordered different types of pasta, but they said they would only do penne for all of it. We got charged for the original pasta still even though it was all penne. It also took over an hour for our food to be served. However, we had a waiter who served us wine named simone who was wonderful. Was very disappointed as I had heard great things about this place. read more

Dante is a very popular restaurant with international students because they provide free bottles of house wine. When you walk in, the restaurant is filled almost exclusively with American girls and each table is decorated with at least one bottle of their "famous" house wine. The food was relatively inexpensive and the price certainty reflected the quality. I had by far THE WORST meal I've ever had in florence. I ordered a simple dish, spaghetti carbonara. The pasta was completely overcooked. I do not believe that there was any egg in the pasta. It tasted almost identical to my friend's fettuccine Alfredo (also disgusting) apart from the addition of bacon. The dish was far too creamy and overly peppered. Ultimately I found it completely inedible. At trattoria Dante's do not expect remarkable service. I found all of the wait staff extremely rude. When I asked the waitress a simple question (in Italian) she could not answer it for me and clearly did not want to. I also had an experience I have never had in Italy-- the waitress brought our check before we asked for it. Overall, I would equate Dante's to a fast food restaurant with seating in terms of the quality of food and service I received. read more

we only came here because we arrived in firenze late and were really hungry and this was the closest open spot we could find. if you have time, don't come here. the pizza was good but they don't allow to go boxes (the guy flat out said they didn't have any boxes when i just saw a guy walk out with a couple!). like i can understand if you're policy is not to allow to go boxes (it's a stupid policy but i get it, it's your policy), but to just say you don't have any? c'mon. so we wrapped our leftover pizza in napkins like animals and walked back to our airbnb with it. service was horrible, which I'm realizing is kind of normal in Italy but this place was the worst service we've encountered. do yourself a favor and go to any other pizza place. read more

My first experience with ribolitta (Florentine vegetable and bread soup) came at the rec of our friendly local waitress and it filled both expectation and belly. You can get wine by the half- or full liter or a whole 14" pizza fir the same very affordable price. We came in at a late lunch time and had great service due to slower dining room. Strolling along the river Arno just up the street after the meal has been known to help digestion! read more

DO NOT EAT HERE!!!!! By far the worst place I have eaten at in Florence. They offer unlimited wine to students studying abroad and then after two small pitchers say rhat the entire table is "cut off". The servers are also extremely rude, they seem to be related (two skinny brunette women) and will laugh in your face and tell you to fuck off. Sure the free wine might be enticing but we will never be coming back here as we felt disrespected and were treated extremely poorly during our time here. The owner Fante is very nice but besides that, If you are visiting Florence DO NOT EAT HERE!!! read more

This is one of our favourite spots in Florence! The food is delicious and well priced. The house wine is free with your meal which is also nice. Love the rose sauce. read more

THE BEST MEAL I HAD ABROAD. Came here with friends as per a suggestion and was so immensely happy. I ordered the sausage truffle gnocchi and was just glowing. I couldn't believe how good the little pillows of potato I was putting in my mouth were. I would eat this dish every day for the rest of my life. If you come here, skip the pizza and order the pasta. So so so good and you will be happy as a clam when you leave. read more

The service at this places is horrible. My waitress laughed in my face when I said I didn't wanna order water and she also was laughing when we asked for more wine. The owner was nice but still didn't fix the service. The food was below average and they advertise bottomless wine. It's a lie. They gave us two glasses then laughed when we asked for more. read more

This is a horrible restaurant with horrible service. The food is cold and disgusting. They say they offer bottomless wine for study abroad kids but they do not they offer one bottle. They are rude and you have to ask ten times to order. Do not come here. read more

Great service amazing food and perfectly priced for a study abroad student on a budget. Definitely will be back.

Hey there, it's the levils dettuce again. (That sweet sweet Mary Jane is super illegal in the Mediterranean boot) Dante's brings you in with a great deal: free wine. Endless wine. It flows like water. I'm very drunk. The order: 2 queen pizzas, spicy tomato ravioli, Salmon penne, 4 cheese pizza, a dump truck of carbonara. Word on the street is that you need to keep food on your plate to keep the wine flowing like water- so I got a pizza. My plate was always full because I'm 5"2' and cannot finish an entire pizza by myself, but nonetheless I did a pretty good job on both the wine and my meal. My friend on her spicy ravioli: "at first I saw ONLy 8 RAVIOLIS. I need more raviolis" My other friend: "I took the bandaids off my nipples. I need my pizza to be flavorful. This was medium flavorful." My glass is never empty, even when I need it to be. Levils dettuce out, counting euros is hard. read more

Unfortunately, the salad and pizza were disappointing. To be fair, the service was good, portions were sizable and the prices were reasonable. Still, there are many better options for food. read more

This restaurant had a great combination of delicious food and excellent service. Our server was very sociable and eager to take care of us as busy as he waiting on other tables. We ordered the meat and cheese antipasti platter which was amazing - great selection of salami, ham, and a variety of cheeses as well as olives and peppers. My meal was the gnocchi with sausage and truffle and it was done extremely well. The truffle flavor did not overtake the other flavors and the gnocchi were done just right. I finished with the berry panda cotta and it was delicious! There is a good chance I will be back here before I leav within the next three days. read more

Service can be hit or miss. The ribolla is fantastic, the gnocchi and sausage is disgusting. Nice atomosphere. Probably wouldn't eat here while studying in Firenze if it wasn't so close to my apartment. Really, the worst part of eating here is the wait times. The cheese and meat board/appetizer took over 40 minutes to serve the first time I went, early in the evening--I was one of only three customers inside at the time! One glass of their wine sends me reeling. I don't understand the folks who can down an entire bottle. read more

We had a great dinner! Complimentary bread, very large and fresh salads. My curry risotto was spicy and tasty and my friend's fettuccine alfredo was creamy and delicious. We had dessert- biscotti and sweet wine which was fabulous and tiramisu which could have had less whipped cream. The staff were friendly and the service well paced. We even received a complimentary shot of Montenegro liqueur. I would definitely recommend this quaint place! read more

Popped into this restaurant while in Florence for a day. It was amazing! I tried the carbonara pasta and it did not disappoint.
