We didn't understand what the reason why the waitress was so unpleasant with us was: if it's because we didn't order any wine or because we spoke a foreign language between us. Anyway, we certainly won't go back!!! First, we noticed everyone had Sardinian bread on their table. When we asked for some to eat with our 3 ham dishes, we were told there wasn't anymore. One minute later we noticed there was Sardinian bread on an empty table next to us and that the waitress took it to another table. We ordered fried thin potatoes and we received baked ones instead (without an explanation!). I might not be a Fiorentina expert but the meat was overburnt outside and without any dressing: no salt, no taste. We asked for an additional bottle of water but the waitress forgot to bring one. When, at least 5 minutes later, we asked her colleague, she, herself, took one from the same empty table and, annoyed, nearly threw it at us, as we were bothering her.

My meat had way too greasy parts for my liking. My dad's ribs were the same. I don't dislike a bit of grease on meat, but I dislike it when there is way too many. I left feeling disappointed on what we paid vs...
Read moreI wanted to love this place, especially since we had to go way out of our way to dine in there, but I simply couldn't. Apparently, this is the best bistecca fiorentina there. We didn't find it to be true. The meat was very bland and burned, some parts had unpleasant taste. May be they save the best pieces to locals and feed worst and old cuts to Americans, i don't know. We dined at a few other restaurants in Florence, and the steak in all of them was much tastier than at this place. Couldn't wait to finish our meal and got out of there quick, fast, and in a hurry. Will never come back and will not...
