    Osso buco

    The food was 5 stars! Everything we ordered was so delicious! The ravioli with truffles was the best pasta during our visit to Florence. The main courses we selected were excellent with so many flavors and textures. For dessert we had tiramisu and apple cake, which is so much better than NY. The restaurant is small and very unassuming from the outside, with a set up of seating the diners along the counter and facing the chef/server. There was one separate table near the window that seats 4. The owner/chef, read the menu board to us in English as it's all in Italian. Google translate was not very descriptive or clear. The mom/chef served us dessert and she was a bit more pleasant. I can agree with some of the posted reviews where the chef can seem rude or standoffish. This was an epic meal for such a reasonable price! In NY for this type of quality meal it would easily be double or triple this price.

    Who can resist a Michelin recommendation?

    I have been to many awesome restaurants- but normally Michelin starred food is just too fancy for me. But after seeing the front door of this restaurant... And seen the inside... Let me tell you it was worth every unbelievable fabulous bite.! Best pasta ever!! Super cool looking restaurant great vibe... Unbelievable wines!!! we only sat for lunch... The service was very good!

    Tip: menu is written in Italian outside, and you could either figure it out with translation app or take a photo and figure it out while waiting to be served inside. Food is wonderful traditional Tuscany food with a modern twist, such as homemade ravioli filled with cheese (ricotta I think) and topped with pear sauce, and perfectly cooked tripe with tomato. Portion is quite generous thus you only order the primi first. I enjoyed my food and conversation with other customers so much and forgot to take a photo except the dessert, lol. Price is beyond reasonable by American standard. Efficient no frills service. The owner/chef/son will hold up the chalk board with a daily menu and explain for you QUICKLY if you don't speak Italian. And then you are expected to order quickly given there is only one or at most two people working in the front of the house for about 20 seats. He will also recommend pairing wine for you based on the dish, but doesn't have a problem at all if you don't want to drink (my case). While they are busy, you can still get your napkins, wine refills, etc. as needed. It could take a bit to order each dish and could take a bit for the food to come out esp. fresh made pasta so don't go if you are in a rush - this seems to be standard in Italian restaurants. Ambiance is very modern and nice despite a bar setting. People talk in low volume so it is not too loud.

    We were brought here by Italian friends that live outside of Florence. Always a good sign. But the food?? As I said to the owner, this was the single best pasta I have eaten in my life. And I've eaten a lot of pasta! I had 'cappellacci del fiori Di zucca' - a pasta stuffed with zucchini flowers and at least two different types of cheese. The sauce was a very light cream with shredded zucchini for flavoring. The dish was so light, so refreshing. Others had the coniglio (rabbit) and the osso bucco. The house red was exceptional. The restaurant itself is super charming. You eat around a common bar, with the owner and his mamma engaging with the guests. We have already made plans to return on Thursday. Waiting an extra day only because they are closed on Wednesday. (For those reviews commenting on the service, see the photo of the smiling man below. This is the affable gentleman that has been accused of being rude and standoffish? That was the opposite of our experience.)

    First of all, the owner and all of the staff are very customer friendly and explain the menu to each of them. After the owner explained me the menu list, I chose as a first course the Cappellacci stuffed with pear, pecorino and ricotta served on a pear sauce. This tasted so great that I was tempted to try a second course. This time I chose the Peposo a Tuscan speciality which consists of meat marinated in oil and spices and pepper corns for several days. This course gets you stuffed by just eating it with bread. It was delicious beyond words. I ended up adding two glasses of rose and a bottle of water. This was a great lunch ! I can highly recommend this place.

    Absolutely rude- ruined experience. Food average for the area and over priced. Many options in Florence that are better choices.

The steak was gigantic and it is bigger than my head. They first bring out the raw steak and weight it in front of you. The steak is enough to share for three people. The gnocchi was also very delicious. It was cheesy and rich. It was also in a way creamy and the cheese just melted in your mouth. One of the best things I've ever put in my mouth and eaten.

He was awesome and had us laughing the entire night. We peppered him with a lot of questions about the menu, he answered everything and also accommodated my father-in-law, who is GF.

For app I had the anchovies with roasted red pepper, sea salt and oil over grilled crostini, very good. I skipped first course and ordered the ribeye steak for my main course. Bone in, medium rare, sprinkled with sea salt and a side of onion marmalade. The steak was very good and had way less fat than I expected. The waiter suggested a huge steak for the table, but I was the only one ordering steak that night. Maybe next time. Others ordered the fillet and it was cooked perfectly, the angels and demons gnocchi, and the veal scallopini. Everybody was pleased Really cool spot with a very good wine selection, drinks, excellent food and a fun atmosphere that you don't find at many places. Nugo was an A+ server.

    Wow, what a special place…read more Set inside a 14th-century tower near the Ponte Vecchio in Florence, this restaurant delivers an unforgettable dining experience from the moment you walk in. The atmosphere alone is worth a visit, but the food is what truly makes it exceptional. We ordered the ravioli, pappardelle with wild boar ragù, the Florentine steak, a mixed salad, affogato, and fresh strawberries with mascarpone cream. To drink, we shared a small carafe of red wine and a Pinot Grigio. Everything was spectacular. The Florentine steak was easily the best--and largest--I have ever had. Perfectly cooked, incredibly flavorful, and remarkably tender, it was the highlight of an already outstanding meal. The pappardelle with boar ragù was rich, hearty, and deeply satisfying, while the ravioli was beautifully prepared and full of flavor. Every dish felt authentic, carefully executed, and memorable. The wine was another pleasant surprise. Both selections were excellent and very reasonably priced, making the meal feel like an even better value. Our waiter was friendly, attentive, and incredibly helpful. He patiently answered questions, explained the menu, and guided us toward some fantastic choices. Although we thought we were too full for dessert, we're very glad we changed our minds. The affogato was fantastic, and the strawberries with mascarpone cream were absolutely delicious. One of the highlights of the evening was watching our four-year-old happily clutching two spoons and enthusiastically scooping fresh strawberries and mascarpone into his mouth. It was one of those memorable family travel moments that you don't forget. A terrific meal, a unique historic setting, excellent service, and a wonderful atmosphere.

Were ordered a bottle of Chianti Classico to start, as well as a few pastas plus the steak and cod. I can safely say the spaghetti pomodoro with burrata was the best pasta dish I've had in Italy - the pasta was perfectly cooked and the cherry tomatoes was so sweet, the kind of thing that reminds you why you came to Italy in the first place. Overall: great service, great atmosphere, and fantastic food. Just be sure to make a reservation!!

As for the pork dish (Arista di Maiale), the meat was very tender, savory and so tasty. I chose to get a glass of red wine to enjoy with the meal and I like their model where they bring you a newly opened bottle and only charge you by what you pour. Smart on them since of course I poured myself more than one glass so really it's a win win for both. Reservations are highly recommended and there are no English menus available. Thankfully, one of the staff flagged down another worker who spoke english and was able to walk me through the menu. He was very friendly, helpful and patient. I cannot wait to go back and try the other traditional Florentine dish, the 1kg steak :)

Am I the only one that thought steak florentine was supposed to be served this way? Maybe that's was my mistake but I thought that's how it was prepared in Florence. Anyways, I was immediately suspicious when our waitress asked how we would like our steak cooked and her suggestions were medium or medium well. Uhhhh what? That goes against everything I believe in! The steak came out on a hot stone slab on top of a wooden box. The slab obviously continued to cook the steak so I immediately took off a few pieces to prevent this. The steak was thick and tender with chunks of large salt grains. It looked nice all sliced up but that's where the compliments end. It lacked flavor and ended up cooking to be more medium rare when I grabbed my pieces and then even medium by the time my dad grabbed his second slice. Our waitress seemed annoyed when we asked for the truffle sauce to accompany our steak (my dad forgot to ask for it when we placed our original order) and walked away with a huff to go grab it. The fries came out cold and limp with flavorless truffle shavings on top. I'm not sure why this place has such great reviews. Maybe it got too big for its britches and the quality has declined? The one saving grace was the crema bruciata! And the very understanding hostess who gladly pushed our reservation from 7:30 to 8:00pm due to travel difficulties. Whatever the reason, this place definitely missed the mark. You can't walk three steps without seeing a steakhouse here in Florence. My recommendation? Try one of those.
