La Fettunta in Florence is an outstanding destination for anyone looking to experience authentic Tuscan cuisine. Located in the heart of the city, this beloved restaurant has earned its reputation for serving some of the finest traditional dishes. With its warm, cozy atmosphere and incredibly friendly staff, La Fettunta is a must-visit for both locals and tourists alike. The restaurant is very popular, so it’s wise to book ahead. However, the staff do their best to accommodate walk-ins, and although we waited around 30 minutes for a table, the experience made it well worth the wait.

The prices at La Fettunta are refreshingly reasonable, especially considering the quality and authenticity of the food. Compared to other Florence restaurants offering similar fare, it stands out for offering exceptional value.

We decided to try the famous Bistecca alla Fiorentina, the pride of Florentine cuisine. This traditional dish has roots dating back to the Renaissance, when the Medici family celebrated grand feasts featuring the finest local beef. Today, the Florentine steak continues to be a symbol of Tuscany’s rich culinary heritage, and La Fettunta’s rendition is superb. We were served an impressive 1.3-kilo portion of beef, carved off the bone and cooked to perfection. The meat was incredibly tender, succulent, and full of flavor—just as it should be.

Alongside the steak, we ordered stewed artichokes in white wine and roasted potatoes. The artichokes were beautifully tender with a subtle richness from the wine, and the roasted potatoes were crispy and well-seasoned, complementing the main course perfectly.

La Fettunta provides an unforgettable dining experience, blending tradition, flavor, and a welcoming atmosphere. If you're in Florence and looking for an authentic taste of the city’s culinary heritage, this restaurant should be high on your list.
