Not recommended. Bad for the lovely community around them.
We were in the car waiting for the instructions to access our room in the hotel next door. We were all tired by our trip and planned to enter the room, leave our luggage and go for dinner in a nearby restaurant. Possibly this restaurant. One of us urgently needed the loo, so my friend went into the restaurant and used the toilet. Once they came back out on the street, a waiter and a cook came out too attacking my friend, yelling that they used the loo without permission. My friend has epilepsy and generally doesn’t like confrontation, so they immediately apologized and offered to make things right, but waiter and cook kept yelling. My friend came into the car while their 70+ years old mum went talking to the waiter and the cook, trying to sort things out, but neither one stopped yelling. As they were getting closer and closer while addressing my friend and towering my friend’s mom, I got out of the car and gently drag both of them away from the car and towards the door of the restaurant. I begged them to stop yelling, explained that doing so was to avoid a possible seizure for my friend who was clearly stressed by their behavior and started showing signs of distress. I went back into the car and I heard waiter and cook discussing the matter in disbelief, while I was finally entering our hotel driveway. You can immagine, we didn’t pick this...

Lots of trattorias in Florence. What's the difference between a trattoria and an osteria? A trattoria is a FAMILY business. And Enzo e Piero really bit the bill.
From the start, from the first bite. That house bottle of wine that you would gladly pay $40 usd for at home, but is very decently priced in Tuscany, to those starters. From the menu, from the specials board, all beautiful.
Seasonal appetizers that will make you wonder why you didn't come here sooner. Pasta firsts that make you never want to eat Barilla again, and seconds that make you want to call you vegan cousin and beg them to reconsider their choices.
And worry not, my vegan friends. One person in our party of four was vegan, and the staff went way out of their way to make her feel loved and cared for.
If you aren't coming here at least once in your time in Florence, I don't know what...
Read moreHad pasta with truffles which was extremely good - and very generous portion. Very nice house red and good tiramisu, and I thought very reasonably priced. I was sat outside and only saw one member of staff, a very nice and friendly man. Unfortunately he was a little too friendly with some of the other guests and spent a lot of the evening chatting and laughing with them in Italian, making it hard to get his attention. I did manage to catch his eye and place an order for wine and dessert, but he forgot it... After half an hour of him chatting with his friends and bringing food to other people who'd come after me, I asked if it was coming - he clearly had no memory of the original order! I don't want to be mean about him as he was very sweet, but I can't really give 5 stars for that reason... But based on food and price very definitely recommend, just maybe be prepared to wait and/or wave vigorously to...
