Trattoria Donnini — Restaurant in Bagno a Ripoli

Well, when you give the category - restaurant, inn, trattoria, etc - you give also a range of dishes, ambience and prices. In this case, honestly the place is nice: almost in the countryside, nice rooms and the chance to eat in a comfortable porch during the warm season. But ... there is an important "but". As soon as you sit at the table and still reading the menu, a nice woman will come to suggest to you some prelibate dishes out of the menu. The "outdishes" (let's call them like this) are honestly many and also more peculiar and even more tempting than the dishes written (on the menu). Surely, it is up to you to decide to taste them or not. But in any case, their prices are not telled. Surely you can ask the price of the "outdishes", but as you know, sometimes it is difficult to ask the price. Maybe i am silly, but i feel embarassed to ask price in the middle of other people because, even if it is a right to take care of the money, well... you know how it works in some circumstances. Today, i asked for a - half portion - of "taglierini with white truffle, to share with my wife. My son asked for a normal pasta with ragù. The cost of the two first dishes was a surprise: 38,00 euro. My fault, sure. But very expensive, for sure. Taking away the pasta for my kid, how much did i pay for a - half - portion ? More than the tagliata steak, for sure. Please, remind about the "outdishes" because in my opinion is a not nice way to do. Usually, there could be some "dishes of the day" but correctness wants a separated list attached to the menu, with clear prices. Especially when so high. Up to you, but i do not suggest this...

What a pleasant surprise. When approaching, we thought it was a little, family run, hole in the wall, restaurant. The types we like to visit on our trips. But boy were we surprised. It was definitely family owned and run, serving authentic Tuscan food, but not a hole in the wall. Beautiful setting, especially the garden in the back and the food was amazingly plated and extremely delicious. The service was wonderful. Only 1 person speaks broken English, though, but their hospitality more than made up for the language barrier. Amazing wine, cheese and cold cut platters, fresh Burrata with an eggplant purée and the Bacala. Rounded off the meal with espresso and lemoncello. A must visit when in Florence/...

Lovely staff, lovely place, RIDICULOUS prices. We ended up spending €60 per person: €40 for 10 cookies (cantucci) and an average of €28–30 for a main dish. When pointing out the disproportionate pricing, the owner replied, “That’s how restaurants cost in Florence.” Sorry, Rimaggio is not downtown Florence, and even in Florence restaurants are emptying because people are tired of paying €40–50 for dinner. Inflation is hitting everyone hard, but raising prices won’t bring more clients. Choose a different menu, and above all, don’t choke your customers, they won’t come back. I strongly do not recommend this place; there are plenty of local options that are cheaper...
