Osteria del Corso — Restaurant in Florence

The restaurant has a very pleasant, relaxed atmosphere and incredible tasty food. All in the whole, we would have been happy with our visit if there was an unpleasant situation at the end. The young lady who served us initially was very helpful and nice. However, when it came to payment, everything changed quickly. The thing is we always pay by card everywhere, and we don't actually keep cash, when we started paying by card the payment didn't work out. Instead of the waitress to say that they have a problem with the connection and no girth (as we later found out when we translated the check), and in connection with this can not pay. She made us look as if our cards didn't work. She began to tell us in front of all the guests that she had to call the boss, without explaining why with a frightened look on her face. We assumed that she thought that we could not pay. We tried to calm the situation down and told her I could go look for an ATM. But she just shrugged her shoulders and said that she didn't know where the ATM was and didn't help us in this situation. Although in such situations you could have asked your colleagues, because it was obvious from us that we were not from around here. As I think both parties were keen for the bill to be paid. My boyfriend was left to deal with them while I went to an unfamiliar city to look for an ATM. We ended up paying them and even left a tip, but purely because of the food and service before the occasion. Unfortunately, words cannot convey how humiliating it was and our last evening in Florence was completely ruined. And the most frustrating thing is that it was an absolute trifle if she had just told us that their ATM was not working, now the boss will bring another one, then as it turned out they had two. Or would have said well, I'll wait for you to swipe the money from the ATM and none of this would have happened. I don't know if it was a language problem or something else. But despite the fact that I have travelled quite a lot, this situation has never happened to me anywhere, ever. So if you don't want to get in the same situation, just take cash, as there even the connection on the phone does not work. Despite all this, the food there is really tasty, so if not for this situation we would probably come...

Our visit to "La Osteria del Corso" was an absolute delight for the senses. We embarked on a culinary journey that left a lasting impression. To start, we indulged in the Tuscany cheese platter as our first course—an exquisite selection that showcased the rich flavors of the region.

For the main course, we opted for both risotto and pasta, and each dish was a masterpiece in its own right. The risotto was perfectly creamy, with a symphony of flavors that danced on the palate. The pasta was cooked to perfection, and the accompanying sauces were a testament to the chef's expertise.

Complementing our meal was a classic Chianti wine that enhanced the entire dining experience. The staff's recommendation proved spot-on, and the wine perfectly complemented the flavors of the dishes.

The service at La Osteria del Corso was impeccable. The staff exhibited a profound knowledge of the menu, guiding us through the selections with enthusiasm. The ambiance was warm and inviting, creating a welcoming space to...

Every time I'm in Florence, the first reservation I make is with Osteria del Corso; it is my favorite place!!

Atmosphere - Upscale, modern and cozy; I always feel right at home!

Staff - Incredible! They are so knowledgable, friendly and sweet. They genuinely care about building lasting relationships with their customers!

Food - You can't go wrong, everything on the menu is delicious and flavorful! Classic dishes with a sophisticated twist. Hand-made by an expert, the pasta is delicious and so fresh! The risotto and soup are two of my favorites! If you get the Bistecca Fiorentina, it is meant to be shared and savored (pair with the potatoes)! A perfect balance of richness and portion size, you will always leave content! Don't forget to leave room for dessert!

Wine - A great and complete selection of Tuscan wines that is always expanding! I love being able to try new vintages!
