When in Florence...this is the place to visit for fresh seafood! Located in Via Faenza...very easy to locate... going towards San Lorenzo market. They provide outdoor seating or a cosy, relaxed atmosphere for dining inside. The staff are prompt and polite. The entree' dishes were quite large...we easily enjoyed the mussles in three! I ordered the Baccala with ceci (chick... More

We were recommended to visit lobs by a friend, and we were so glad we did as we had a wonderful meal here. We sat outside as it was a lovely evening and its nice to watch the world go by. We did see inside the restaurant and it was decorated quite nice and looked clean. We had oysters to... More

The food was fresh and delicious....but get there early so that the sea bass isn't all gone! The staff was friendly. It was a quick walk from La Contessina!

We had dinner here on our last night as we fancied something light, having had a very heavy and boozy lunch! We ordered a dish for two which consisted of a whole lobster with clams, squid, king prawns and crayfish served with taglietteli. It was absolutely deliscious, all the fish tasted so sweet and the sauce was to die for.... More

Well we have been expecting much more from a sea-food restaurant!!! ALL dishes were spicy, like they were trying to hide the real taste ( in the menu there was nothing mentioning the dishes are spicy). Besides, to get a frozen lobster for 50 euros is just terrible, We have ordered a lobster plater with lots of pasta and some... More

Quite a delightful restaurant with a good selection of fish and seafood dishes. Crostini at lunchtime was interesting and good value. The Gnocchi with fish and tomato was very enjoyable. Fish lasagne included mussels and had two large prawns as a garnish. The deserts (a warm chocolate cake with a serious chocolate sause and a pannacota) were large protions and... More

We came across this restaurant in our walk about Florence and as it was a fish restaurant we decided to try it that evening. We turned up to find a queue and asked the waiter if we could book for later in the evening. He took some details and didn't appear to write it down and then disappeared. I then... More

I had a lovely bass dinner. It came wrapped in a foil packet which wasn't very appealing. The carrots and zucchini inside were way over cooked, but the fish was really tasty. This particular side street was bustling just the right amount. Lots of places to eat and it felt cozy to us. The service was okay. Good people watching.

I shouldn't really review a seafood eatery when I come from Sydney. None the less went to dinner here last night on recommendation of apartment manager as she said it was the best. I assume this place is considered great as a local seafood place, but for us it was average. Very eatable, but won't return. Very noisy and stuffy... More

Taken here by a friend who lives here, I thought the food was delicious. I had the black squid risotto.
