Modest trattoria much frequented by locals enjoying the fixed price lunch at less than 11 Euros. We had good pizzas and salads. Popular but you can eat quickly if you want. Nothing fancy but sometimes you just wnat to eat, rather than "eat out", so we tend to use it for lunches and choose more upmarket places for eevnings. It... More

This place was recommended to us by locals and it was by far the best food we had in the whole of Florence. Great wine list, very reasonable priced. The staff made us feel very welcome, even though we were the only tourists there at the time and most of the other diners were known to staff by name. Ask... More

We were recommended this restaurant by hotel and were not disappointed. Staff were always very obliging and friendly especially Tomas??. It was nice to have a varied menu other than pizza and pasta. The food was excellent - every dish was thoroughly enjoyed. There was an extensive wine list and prices were very reasonable. The premises were very clean and... More

My wife and I went to Osteria Centopoveri few minutes after being robbed at Bar Scudieri and having filed a police report. Despite the negative impact of this experience, our mood improved greatly when we arrived at Centopoveri. The place, as most osterias are, simple, but the service & atmosphere were very warm & friendly. There was a wide selection... More

Problably the origin of its name is related to the Ospital that around the end of the 17century became a place where " honest and poor maidens" could find hospitality, altrought the restaurant is just behind the corner of the originsl hospital location. Those girls must have found their way and so today the restaurant looks shining and modern, recently... More

I know its so cliché but there pizzas were amazing and at great value. The pastas and seafood were also beyond good. Try the oven roasted chicken, also really good. The owner was what an... More

The menu was plentiful but not overly fussy, and daily special explained to us by the owner (with a passion I may add). The atmosphere was lively and very firendly - live music too Tuesdays and...

I arrived early and for a few minutes was the only person in the restaurant. I wondered if I had made a mistake. Then, it filled up quickly, with all the other tables speaking Italian. The food is good and moderately priced. The service is professional but because there was only one waiter serving the whole section it soon became... More
