My partner and I made a reservation based on trip advisor reviews and we were not disappointed. The food is wonderful and the house wine was very good. Thomas and his staff were very friendly and helped us with the menu and suggested good options. We enjoyed ourselves so much we went back again the next day. I think this... More

Although this restaurant is barely marked from the outside and does no advertising, it's not a surprise to me that it is ranked in the top 5 of all restaurants in Florence by Trip Advisor members! You'd be crazy (or just lucky) to try to get seated without a reservation. First of all, some of the best, if not THE... More

First off, this is a *very small" place. Don't go here, if you don't like sitting arm to arm next to a stranger. If you don't mind, you will be rewarded with an exquisite experience for your palate... While the salad (Artichokes salad with Rocket) was nothing special, we were pleasantly surprised by the pasta (Fettuccine with Mushrooms). The pasta... More

My girlfriend had read reviews of this place online and made reservations to eat here during our first night in Florence. Her choice did not disappointed. In fact, this place is even better than we had expected. We ordered the prosciutto with mozzarella as an appetizer - it was amazing! My girlfriend and I shared each other's entrees, the osso... More

While wondering around Florence, we stumbled upon this place for lunch, and we sure did find a treasure. The staff was very accomodating to us even though we saw many people coming in with reservations.This food is fantastic! Everything is made in house. While eating there, we felt like we had stepped into an Italian home and treated as their... More

We arrived on Saturday and could finally get in for lunch on Thursday. Handwritten menu in Italian one side English the other, small menu which looks as it changes daily. To us it was real Tuscan food, simple and fresh. Papa stands at the front counter preparing the drinks, salamis, cheeses & desserts. Loved the note on the menu No... More

We tried finding the street Via dei Magazzini on a map and asked locals but no one knew where it was located. We asked a police officer and they knew. The street is located behind Piazza della Sigoria to the left towards Via Condotta. Make reservations in advance since there are only 18 seats in this one room osteria. The... More

After reading the reviews we took everyone's advice and asked our hotel if they could try and make a reservation for us, which thankfully they succeeded in doing. We shared the Pacherri pasta with zucchini flowers and saffron - absolutely delicious! For main my husband had beef stew with red wine - melted in the mouth! I had rabbit stuffed... More

We arrived at our B&B across the street from this restaurant about 1 pm and were hungry so we popped in for lunch about 2 pm after checking into our room. The owner looked at his watch and started to shake his head but his son waved us on in to a great table. We had the rabbit, the pasta... More
