About
Situed in the center of florence near historic center and most important Florentine’s monument. For our guest we offered easy and business lunch, romantic candel light dinner. The speciality of Trattoria dell’Oste, of course, is the typical Florentine bone steak, from Chianina race, selected with passion and care, to give all the flavor of the famous meat in the world. We propose a great and good wine selection, red and white, Tuscany and Italian. A great and cured research of row materials, transformed in full and tasty meals, a classic kitchen based on the Tuscany traditions. Everithing create to valorize our guest and the time if have dedicate to us.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Great food and excellent service! We had the butter and sage ravioli and the seafood linguine with red sauce. Both were excellent. We also really enjoyed the white wine recommendation from our server. This place was on the more expensive side but I think the fine dining ambiance and the quality of the food (not to mention the prime location) made the price point make sense.
At the end of the meal we did feel a little rushed to pay the check and leave even while we finished our bottle of wine because they had a line. Overall, feeling rushed was a common theme at most of the restaurants in Florence that were popular with tourists.
This was the most air conditioned restaurant we ate in the whole time we were in Italy! So it’s a great option if you need to cool down.

Our meal was really good, and they put on a good presentation - but it'll cost you. We went for my wife's birthday and took a pretty large party with us, so I did the ordering for the entire crew. The menu is a bit confusing, but it's definitely aimed at an international audience. Usually when you go for a fiorentina, the meat comes from the local breed (Chianina), comes at one temp (rare). and maybe three different cuts (poterhouse, NY sirloin, rib eye, and filet). There were multiple breeds to choose from, including American Black Angus, Wagyu, and Chianina, many different cuts, and an option for our own temperature (anything other than rare is an outrageous infamia to a Florentine).
My very American family benefited from these choices, because they could enjoy a steak that they were familiar with: an American Black Angus porterhouse done medium-rare. It might have been aged, and cost like it was aged, but I sure didn't taste it. That might've been a good thing, because dry-aged steak is a little bit of an acquired taste for most palates. Almost too many choices to make for a simple steak that everyone in the city makes, but I get it.
They allowed us to split four Pappardelle al sugo di cinghiale (pasta with white boar, Florentine comfort-food) amongst nine people, grudgingly so. The sides were very good, and worth getting (roast potatoes, peas and grilled veg). The food was delicious, but very expensive. They also were keen on us ordering expensive wine - the more reasonably-priced bottles I wanted to order were not available, but the ones for $15 more were.
All in all, the food was very good, the service very good, and the price very high. I don't know if it's *the* best place for Bistecca Fiorentina, but everyone was very happy so it was all good.

We stumbled on this restaurant in our first hour in Florence, noted its menu and returned later in the evening. Luckily we were able to be fitted in without a booking but we quickly saw that this was not the norm.
There is a good but relatively small selection of dishes on the menu if you do not go form the main huge beef selections (their estimate in one case in the menu is 1.3KG of meat). WE were quite surprised by the very large Japanese custom all opting for huge chunks of high quality (Wagu, Angus etc) beef. On talking to two pairs of young ladies about the size all the said was empty tummy and high quality food.
We chose items from the menu which would allow us to opt for three courses. The pasta and (small) meat dishes were very good both as starters and mains. The desert selection is limited but their version of an English Trifle is good.
We didn't feel like wine so chose from there very small beer selection a Viola Bianca which was refreshing and delicious.
Unlike another reviewer we found the staff very helpful, efficient and speedy. No mention of tipping was made to us (on two visits) by the serving staff because you pay off table at the door and tipping is left to you.

We went to dinner with the family..
We didn't want anything challenging.
pan-fried egg with truffle (to forget, two eggs baked with the dish therefore dry, the dried truffle grated and not blades ) €18
The tartare
(fantastic, excellent meat )
We ask for 4 sirloins of (rubia gallega ) was not Rubia but poor quality national meat ... IMMEDIBLE , HARD AND CHEWY .. the mortified Waiter fixes with another delicious cut ..
Fantastic service the guys in the room super really extraordinary ..
(One Argentinean boy and one from Campania)
Bottom line 300€ of bill

I was with a friend given the good reviews, at first glance it seems a nice place but then you change your mind
Bad service and hospitality, the girl who greeted us was very annoyed and barely showed us where to sit, The boys in the room did not pay attention and laughed and joked with each other (both young) I do not think it is their fault but those who do not instruct them, the metre came and went and customers who wanted to be served were not cared for
We had a plate of pappardelle with wild boar sauce and it was precooked pasta and not cooked well, while the sauce was absolutely tasteless
Then we divided an x2 plate on the menu where it said sliced croutons typical cheeses and a 950gr Florentine steak (non-Florentine, Florentine steak) for 40.8€
The plate of cold cuts were 1 slice each of 3 different cold cuts, 2 pieces of cheese that will have been 20 grams each with the crust and 2 croutons each one with tomato and one with liver (it must be specified that it says that you must be at least 2 to order that dish)
The cold cuts were not of good quality the croutons were not good except for the tomato ones but they were lucky to find a good tomato
The cheese was clearly left outside for air and the bread on the table was at least 3 days old
Coming then to the steak, the only thing right was cooking, the potato side dish was embarrassing without tasteless salt full of oil and not cooked well
The meat was almost all connective tissue so inedible
And then get to the bill and find out that that dish for 2 from 40.8€ was 40.8€ EACH which is not specified in every menu and especially not specified in the menu outside, really embarrassing
And when it was pointed out to the checkout girl she had the promptness to respond of a person who is accustomed to giving explanations for that complaint, I add nothing more

We had dinner with friends at this place. Excellent premises but already from arrival we could notice the lack of education and desire to work. They immediately greeted us with a knowledge and punctiliousness regarding our "delay" (less than 10 minutes). Once accompanied to our table they took our orders, with particular carelessness (we ordered 2 chocolate panna cotta and we got to the berries). Despite everything the meat was discreet. To be avoided.

Most of the managers were kind, but my table’s server was discriminatory towards Asians.
Unlike when taking orders from white people, the server sighed and leaned on the table while taking order from Asians.
Not just for me. He keep doing that other Asians as well.
I speak English well, so this was not a communication issue.
When serving white people, he showed the T-bone steak before cooking and asked if it was acceptable, but they did not do this for Asian customers.
I ordered my steak medium well, but perhaps because of the server’s attitude, my steak arrived very very rare.
I met kind and nice people in italy and other staff members were very kind, but this experience was shocking.

We recently visited this steakhouse and had a fantastic experience. The bistecca alla Fiorentina we tried was perfectly served and absolutely delicious—one of the best we’ve ever had! The service was attentive and added to the overall enjoyment of the meal.
While the prices are on the higher side, the quality and experience make it well worth it. We totally recommend this place to anyone looking for a memorable steakhouse experience!

It’s a very nicely decorated restaurant but that’s where the wonderful experience stops. I don’t know how this was rated as “Best 101 steakhouses” in 2023 and 2024. This was just an average steakhouse, at best. Let’s begin. We had 2 waitresses that didn’t smile and almost looked down upon us. We were very friendly from the start, and tried to speak Italian where we could. This was our first time ordering Bistecca alla Fiorentina so we were hoping they would provide an explanation of the cut and preparation, as they did at the table next to us. Instead we got a question: “how much fat? “ We didn’t know what she meant. After a noticeable confusion, she said. “Little fat or high fat? “. We had no idea so we said “chianina”? Ok that’s little fat. The raw steak was not brought out to us like we saw had been done for others who had ordered the same. We had ordered a mixed selection of Bruschetta as an appetizer but when it came out the waitress just left it on the table and walked away. I had to call someone back to ask what each of the four bruschetta toppings were. When the Bistecca came out we dove in expecting a great steak. Meh. I’ve had way better steak. And when we paid the bill they asked for a tip. That screams “tourist trap”. No other restaurant in Rome or Florence had asked that wasn’t in a tourist trap area. We left them 5 euros on the table anyway. Overall a very disappointing experience for an apparently highly touted restaurant.

Although at the end of the night the bill is important in my opinion it is worth them all.
Compared to other places maybe it is a bit more commercial and less "authentic".
But the quality of the meat is really good, the environment really special, the service good. Excellent choice of wine list.
Whether you are in company or as a couple I suggest
Fiorentina 1.3 kg, two side dishes, water, chianti wine 0.375 sweet and coffee about 160€
As mentioned before the total bill is important but I found it adequate.
I highly recommend

About the food and the location nothing to say. We took as first course the pappardelle with wild boar and as second course a Florentine black Angus. Both dishes were exquisite and the portions are more than fair. Unfortunately I had a NEGATIVE EXPERIENCE with the waiters. One of them while trying to open a bottle of wine at the table behind ours, spilled the open bottle on the floor and much of the wine ended up on my white fur, making it become patchy. NOBODY came to apologize for what happened and try in any way to make up for it. I noticed that the waiters were all grumpy, even towards customers and with little desire to work. This led me to look forward to finishing dinner and leaving. Definitely not going back.

The different rooms are beautifully decorated but the food is only average, not the best steak in Firenze, and not the best service. This is for tourists who don't know better. Dishes arrived cold, service was attentive but not courteous. If you don't drink expensive wines you are less welcome and they want you out as fast as possible. There are no locals in this restaurant which says it all. They are probably a victim of their success,

We came to this restaurant after a long morning at the Uffizi Gallery. It seems to be just past the periphery of the crowded tourist streets. It has attractive dining areas, and an area with beef hanging on display to show what is available. Service was good and attentive. There was a decent wine list and we had some very good wines with lunch. The steaks were of ample size, cooked as ordered, and lunch very filling. However, the steaks were not particularly outstanding, just average, and one in our party had a steak with considerable gristle. If you are looking for steak, we would not say not to go, but there are other places we would try before returning.

We came here on our honeymoon hearing about how this is the place to have the best Florentine steak, and we were not disappointed. Marco, pur waiter made the perfect recommendations for a fiorentine steak dinner for two and a nice wine to pair with the steak. The wine was perfecto! As well as the steak! He also suggested a nice limoncello shot at the end of dinner o help wash down the delicious food. It was definitely helpful. He made our dinner experience 5 stars! Grazie Marco!
I would highly recommend this place to anyone in Firenze!

Unfortunately I have to associate myself with the negative reviews... the place is also nice but it is really touristy and has nothing of the typical trattoria. The food is not bad but it is too expensive for the level it offers. In short, if not a real trap for tourists we almost miss ... I requested electronic invoice that I never received ... strongly discouraged.
