Trattoria CocoLezzone — Restaurant in Florence

The trattoria is located in a street corner central Florence, and is one of the oldest restaurants in the city. We arrived at lunchtime and got placed at the end of a long table - here the setting is like a canteen, and guests shared a long table. The service staff explained the menu to us, and we ordered the soup of the day duo (tomato / white bean) as antipasti, and as main course the roasted pigeons and calf meat with green sauce, plus green asparagus, and potatoes in tomato sauce. Unfortunately, the razor clams that we had 6 years ago were not available this time. The "soup" was more like a thick soup or "suppchen" and it's kind of grandma style. We found the duo option is a good idea so that we can try both soups in one dish. The roasted pigeons had an intensive flavour and aroma, and the devoted pigeon-eater approved the dish. For the cooked calf meat, the sauce is more important. The mixture of herbs, garlic, and olive oil resulted in the unique taste. The side dishes - the green asparagus (in room-temperature) in olive oil was well-made, and my husband enjoyed the potatoes with tomato sauce very much - it was sweet and aromatic. During the planning stage of this year's Florence trip, my husband insisted on putting it into the list, as his food memory 6 years ago called him back. I am looking forward to...

Not your typical restaurant. Over the Ponte Vecchio bridge in Oltrano on a quite little street corner, you will find one of the best restaurants in Florence. The food is authentic Florentine and I suspect mostly locals eat here. Its more like going to your familys house for dinner, not fancy but you know everything was prepared with passion and love. Our waiter Tony was excellent. He made his suggestions and we ordered everything he said. The Tripe Florentine was nothing like we were use to. No red sauce, no potatoes or peas. It was in a simple broth of onions and carrots and the best we have ever tasted. The Ribolita was also outstanding. We also had the pork chop which was tender and amazing. Tony was so kind and he even let me try speaking to him in Italian. We enjoyed the house wine. The meal was so good and Tony was so welcoming, we went back on our last night in Florence. The menu is simple and the food was delicious. If you can, stop by and see Tony and oh, take his suggestions on what to eat. We will definately go back when we...

The service was very disappointing. The man who served us and the whole restaurant did not welcome us and was extremely rude and dismissive. He ignored us on several occasions and I saw that other people were also annoyed with his blunt behaviour. We asked if we could have more bread and he rolled his eyes and sighed... we chose the pasta with beef and tomato and vegetable soup which was absolutely delicious but the portions were very small and this adds up! We were a bit surprised when we got the bill and wanted to double check which he was not happy with and then when he came back he pointed at the section of the menu which says service is not included even though it was added to the bill. I'm not sure if they expect a tip on top of the service charge but he was very rude and stormed off... did not say thank you for coming or goodbye... very poor service , would not recommend. We were not happy with...
