Osteria Il Sordo — Restaurant in Florence

As a tourist this was the best place. We were staying a little outside the city and chose here based on convenience and previous reviews. Olga served us and she was just lovely. Literally couldn’t do enough for us and we had a great chat with her. She really tried to help when she suggested getting one main for our two children to split between them. Food was unreal.
