Trattoria Baldini — Restaurant in Florence

What an awful experience. My husband and I went here for one of the last night's on our honeymoon. We found it while walking around- saw a good menu and a busy restaurant and figured we'd give it a try. Sat down, only Italian being spoke around us...we figured we found a local joint and got even more excited. As we sat and waited for our food, we watched delicious looking food come out of the kitchen. I was excited because my husband and I are both chefs and we could see right into the kitchen through the window. We waited and waited for our 'roasted meats plate to come out after our pasta. Finally, I see one of the cooks run downstairs, grab some trays of old cooked meat. One guy hacked a couple slices of pork and some beef off old stuff. Then I watched as they proceeded to microwave the old meats for at least 4-5 minutes. Sure enough, they pour gravy over it and bring it straight to us. Unbelievable! They thought they could serve us old food, presumably because we were some of the only Americans in there. We watched all the other food come out beautifuly. All of the tables around us had great dishes. Ours got delivered to our table, we each took a bite, looked at each other. It was dry and disgusting. We asked for the check. They took forever to bring it to us- charged us for the meats which we were CLEARLY upset about. Do not eat here- especially as a tourist. It is disgraceful how...

Trattoria Baldini is the kind of place that makes you feel at home the moment you step inside. The warm, inviting atmosphere is matched only by the exceptional food, making it a must-visit for anyone in Florence looking for an authentic dining experience.

The Florentine steak here is nothing short of perfection—charred beautifully on the outside, tender and bursting with flavor inside, cooked just as it should be. It’s a dish that truly showcases the quality of the ingredients and the skill of the kitchen. Pair it with their house wine, which is smooth, rich, and complements the steak perfectly, and you have a meal that feels both indulgent and effortlessly simple.

Beyond the steak, no dish misses the mark. Whether it’s the fresh pasta, the seasonal vegetables, or the hearty Tuscan starters, everything is made with care and tradition in mind. It’s the kind of place where you can order anything and know it will be excellent.

The staff make the experience even better, treating guests with warmth and genuine hospitality. It’s clear that they take pride in what they do, making sure every visitor feels welcome and leaves satisfied.

Trattoria Baldini isn’t just a restaurant—it’s an experience, one that keeps you coming back. If you want to taste the best of Florence in a cozy, friendly setting, this is the...

We were sorely disappointed. The service for non neighborhood clientele was horrifying. The food tastes old and stale. It was obvious that the locals are treated to a different menu. A menu that was fresh and inviting. We watched as we waited after asking for the cheque several times, that bottles of their wine was placed on the table rather than poured one glass at a time as was with us. The food looked fresh and I wished they had served the same to us If you are from another country I do not suggest you eat here. The only reason we ate there was the bartender in our hotel recommended it as it was close to our hotel. After experiencing fantastic food all over Florence and Tuscany, it left a sour note. We highly recommend Titos, and had we known better we would have taken the cab ride. ...
