We had planned to go to a different restaurant the Monday after Easter in the same neighborhood and it was unexpectedly closed. So, we just wandered around and came in off the street to eat in La Martinicca. It was clearly a family restaurant and the whole family was working in various functions. The menu was in Italian and the... More

Homemade pasta was very good. When we went, atmosphere was quiet - only five table occupied. The owner and staff were friendly and checking on us to make sure everything was ok. More

Had the famous Florentine steak - minimum 600gram - not tender enought to warrant recommend, we had better at half the price across the river. Good wine list but expensive.

After two attempts to visit La Martinicca I finally succeeded in finding it open for lunch on January 4th. My guess is that it was closed for the holidays like many other restaurants. I am glad I persisted because the meal was one of the better ones I had in Florence. The restaurant is located on a side street close... More
