Love Olio & Convivium situated on one of my favourite streets 'Via Santo Spirito'. I enjoyed a first course of hand made gnocci in a seafood sauce followed by salmon that was cooked perfectly with vegetables. The dessert and caffe were also excellent. More

Went there on recommendation a few years ago. Couldn't resist returning last week and was not disappointed. We had their daily specials. One had poached eggs with shavings of White truffle. Divine. (generous serving of truffle) Two of us had guinea fowl stuffed with foie gras which was also excellent. The staff are not standoffish. On the contrary, they are... More

We ate here the first night- an adorable gourmet food shop/ restaurant. A friend (a local) recommended this restaurant for food & wine. Well, I had the best Bistecca Florentina there.

Waiting staff were a bit stand-offish, but honestly we enjoyed it so much, also looking at the lovely delicatessen that we didn't care. Nice toilets... More

Olio&Convivium is a really good restaurant, probably the best one in Florence. Our friend, who is living in Florence, advised us this place for celebrating my husband's birthday. We booked a table within 24 hours and next day got the best table in the whole restaurant! The food and vine were excellent, the waiters were very pleasant, we have also... More

Our hotel concierge made a dinner reservation with Olio & Convivium 24 hours in advance (and in my presence). Just before leaving for the restaurant, he called to confirm the reservation and was told that the restaurant had no record of our reservation, that they were booked up for the evening and that they were unwilling to even try to...

I travel worldwide for my work as a medical reporter. I was based in Florence for the better part of 2005-2006. This restaurant has the best food, consistently, of any restaurant I have frequented anywhere in the world. The service is not only inpeccible but friendly. Note the daily prix fixe meal including wine.... Bruce Sylvester More
