I went to a famous pizza place to eat but ended up discovering an even better spot! You’ll need to dine at an outdoor table in the square in front of a cathedral. The place is not very big, so you might have to wait for a while. Although the staff seemed a bit confused with the waiting list, they made up for it with sufficient apologies and friendly service, which made the experience pleasant. Most importantly, every dish we ordered was absolutely delicious. To be honest, I don’t usually eat lasagna in Korea because it’s not very good there. But I was curious about how it would taste in Italy, so I decided to try it—and it was amazing! (It’s a bit sad that I won’t be eating it when I go back to Korea because it won’t taste the same.) The staff’s English was excellent, and the serving time was just right. However, since it’s an outdoor table, it can get a bit chilly once the sun goes down. If you cross just one bridge, you’ll find many other great places with delicious food at reasonable prices. I highly recommend exploring a lot if you visit!

An absolutely delicious lunch at one of our favorite restaurants in Florence. We were thrilled when we found this restaurant 12 years ago, and we come back every time we’re in Italy. Pasquale, the owner, has created a fantastic atmosphere for dining both inside and out, and the smiles on everyone’s faces say everything you need to know about how delicious the food is. On this visit, my wife and I went for the Fiorentine and Mediterraneano panini, and both were fresh and flavorful. The pesto was the best we’ve had this trip, and the salami was perfetto! We wish we had saved room for the Ribollita, which looked wonderful. With only a few days left in Florence, we will be back! We recommend to everyone that you make Gustapanino, Gustaosteria and Gustapizza part of your Santo Spirito tradition. Update (9/24/24) … As promised, we made it back for lunch today, and as always, they did not disappoint! Bruschetta, excellent … Ribollita, delicioso … two panini, the best! Everyone should experience this at least once!

This one might be our favourite restaurant we found on this trip to Florence! The food is delicious, the staff very friendly, approachable and fun and the atmosphere is just right. The first time we ate there we just found the restaurant by chance, sat outside and were welcomed with some free small drinks. We had two pasta dishes that we absolutely adored + negronis, so much that we made a reservation for dinner the next day. The second time we sat inside, it was warm (which matters, on a cold December day) and ate a full dinner and traditional deserts. We felt really relaxed, we spent around 2 hours and we enjoyed every minute. After paying the bill we received some limoncello to top it off. Definitely recommend & will definitely eat here again!

Sensational restaurant with amazing food, service and decor, set on a beautiful square across the river. Our tour guide recommended crossing the river for a taste of the “real” Florence/ what all of Florence used to be. And this restaurant was recommended. Wow, it’s so beautiful both inside and outside where you have a view of the square and stunning church facade. Service was so friendly and welcoming, and English was spoken. Very reasonably priced food and drinks, and great value for money considering the location. House lasagne and the cacio e pepe pasta were excellent, and the negroni was sublime. We would absolutely return here next time. Great experience and great recommendation.

I really wanted to like this place. The glowing reviews drew me here for dinner, where I ordered the meatballs and spinach. My dish came out very fast… and a mix of lukewarm and cold. I called over the waitress and explained, and she quickly took the plate back and apologized. I was offered a new and this time hot plate a few minutes later, as well as complimentary garlic bread. However, even warm the meal was average at best—the meatballs were unremarkable in texture and had little flavor, same for the spinach. I appreciate the staff’s efforts to correct the error, but it ruined the baseline mediocre meal for me, unfortunately. I won’t be returning.

What an incredible experience! Our server Andrea made us laugh til our stomachs hurt! He was so friendly and incredibly helpful with the menu and offering suggestions with the menu. Let’s get to the food! The pasta my wife and I both ordered was absolutely incredible! The ingredients were fresh and we could tell that love was put into both plates. Her plate was the pasta with truffle and sausage and mine was the special with cheese (I cannot remember the name). We are on our honeymoon, but if we were here for an extended period of time, I would absolutely come back. 10/10!!! This was more than a meal, it was an experience!
