Fantastic food. The fixed price menu is an exceptionally good value. €10 includes an entree, side dish, wine, and water. Would return again.

The food was extremely delicious, maybe the tastiest food I’ve had in Florence. There is a fixed price option $20 for two courses, a side, a drink, and water or a $15 option which is the same minus one course. The staff was kind and I felt that I couldn’t go wrong with the food.

During my stay in Florence, this got to be my most authentic local feel Italian restaurant. When we arrived, the place was packed with locals. We are nervous at first. A lovely young lady was able to talk a little bit of English. After reviewing the menu, they offer a set menu for 15 or 20euro. I take the 20euro, which included two entree side dishes and wine. The two entrees i got were pasta with truffle and grill pork chop and grill vegetables. The house red wine comes in a craft equal to two glasses, maybe more. Both my main dishes are good portion and very well prepared. For dessert, we ordered the tiramisu. It was also a hit. This is my must visit restaurant in Florence.

Great value for their lunch set menu! The lasagna and spaghetti carbonara alla mare were delicious, as well as their grilled eggplant and spinach side dishes. We were full for the whole day!

This has been the best food and atmosphere we’ve experienced in Italy so far. After five days here, this place stands out for its warm, welcoming vibe—locals were dining there too, which added to the charm. The service was exceptional; they took the time to explain several dishes to us with genuine care and patience
