Fabulous food! Terrific service! And, for a great meal, the service was fast!!! (And the prices were reasonable!) 9 of us went for dinner. A lot of food was ordered, and EVERYTHING that I tried was delicious! I ordered a burger (I know... Italy... a burger??) BUT, we've been having pasta and pizza and I wanted meat...so, burger with arugula, cheese, sautéed onions...and something else...can't remember now. 🤔 Molto bene... Came with fries too! Perfecto!! And... fried Zucchini Flowers (which I personally LOVE!!!) Best I've had ANYWHERE!!! And, we ordered the antipasto platter for 3 (remember, there were 9 of us). It. Was. Amazing!!! My husband ordered a fish bowl! Also delicious (and he's very picky...) There was also risotto, tagliatelle, Chicken with arugula, steak, chicken milanese... and so much more. There. Were. NO. Leftovers!! That's unheard of with us!! So, kudos to the chef, and if you're in Florence ( the vicinity) please...do not miss this restaurant!! Also, Mira and Elena were terrific!!! And, let's not forget the limoncello shots!! Thanks for the delicious food, and, THE MEMORIES!! Pictured are: the antipasto platter, what's left of zucchini flowers (before we finished them all), fish bowl, gnocchi, (& my beautiful niece), chicken w/arugula, tagliatelle, 2 different burgers 🍔 and...
Read moreThis is a nice place to eat a bit further away from the city. We got this place recommend by our host. During our 8 days in Florence we visited this place in total five times. Both, for lunch and for dinner. They have their standard menu and variating specials. The menu is all Italian, but staff tries to help you in translating the options and can also recommend food. As everything is freshly prepared, it can happen that your first choice is already sold out. They have a nice wood fired pizza oven, they also use to bake the bun for their chefs interpretation of burgers. They also had been very kind as we arrived on a Friday evening as a large group of 8 (later coming 6 more) without a reservation and they managed to find some room for us. I strongly suggest to do a reservation if you plan to come as a larger group. The place was always fully packed in the evening. If you do a reservation they can probably offer a separated area downstairs as well. Check the website for...
Read moreWe were on a tour of Italy from north to south and searched ahead on restaurants near our hotels to eat. We were at Raffaello Hotel on July 16 and had dinner at our leisure and saw that this restaurant was a 3 minute walk from the hotel and had great reviews so we ate here. It was so worth the trip! We had 7 people in our party (ages 13-70)and they took us right in. They have indoor and outside seating. The menu was exactly what we hoped for with authentic Italian staples, done very well. Menu is also in different languages and they do speak some English, so you don't need to worry if your Italian isn't the strongest. A variety of pizza, pasta and antipasti are what we ordered and were delicious. If you are visiting Firenze we highly recommend this friendly and tasty place, that is reasonably priced. It is exactly what we were...
