We arrived in Florence at 4:00 p.m. having traveled for two days straight, and were looking for a good place to eat that was not too pricey, but that was open between lunch and dinner. Our hotelier recommended 4 Leoni because it didn't close between lunch and dinner. We loved it. We asked our waiter for recommendations, so if you're... More

In July 2011 my wife and I were exploring Florence for a few days and during a previous supper in one osteria an English speaking gentlemen overheard our conversation and recommended two best steak places in Florence as I really wanted to taste the best Florentine steak. He said he lived in Florence for 4-5 years. Before visiting Boboli gardens... More

Tucked away in the Oltrano this old warehouse still delivers the goods for us in our third visit over five years. Good choice and interesting wines, well cooked food and pleasant atmosphere. We paid 77 Euros for an evening meal of two courses (we shared a starter) and a good bottle of wine. More

At the 4 Leoni, food is the main attraction. The pear and ricotta ravioli are simply a rare delicacy (we ended up ordering a second portion). Prices are reasonable for the quality. The atmosphere is rather nice, although the place gets really busy in the evenings. Reservations are essential for this reason. The only minus that we have experienced is... More

The food was excellent, the atmosphere/ambiance was cool at this out of the way trattoria on a small piazza in the Oltrarno.

There are so many other restaurants in Firenze with excellent... More

Excellent food and a wonderful dinner. You'll enjoy the experience more if you make an effort to at least make some sophomoric Italian conversation! You'll need a reservation, too, to get a decent table at this restaurant. This is a very local place, not a touristy location at all. In the Oltrarno, but very easily to find from the main... More

Very good little restaurant in-down with good service and good food. More

The thing I remember most about this restaurant is the great waiter. I love it when a waiter will tell you what their favorite thing on the menu is, instead of just saying "everything is good." We showed up for dinner early (7pm) without reservations. The place was almost empty, but we were told that there were reservations for most... More

Yes the food is edible, but am I the only one who goes to Italy with one of the main reasons being food? So yes, I expect a lot I guess. I expect that when I order risotto for it to be risotto and not rice pilaf. I am not kidding. No sauce or creamy consistency whatsoever. The pasta my... More
