We went there two nights and loved it each time. The food is delicious and the owner/hostess very gracious. We liked the fact that it is a small restaurant and very quiet. Wish we could move this one to the USA!

Bad attitude since we are tourist. No olive oil or balsamic vinegar for bread. Forced to order a bottle of water even we have ordered wine. DONT order spinach because it is sandy.

Lovely little trattoria. Locals and tourists eating there. Had the pheasant agnolotti and fetta ravioli for starters - excellent. Mains; melanzane and boar ragu with polenta - very good bur not exceptional. Bought my side salad after mains (think they forgot). Tiramisu excellent. ?70 so not cheap (with bruschetta, one beer, one large water).

We ordered from the lunch menu - ?12.50 for two dishes, glass of wine, water and bread. Between the two of us we tried four items and found them all salty. Don't search this place out.

Having read previous reviews, was anxious to try....away from the maddening crowds and obviously a favorite of native Florentines...a very good decision.

From the looks of the very visible kitchen,... More

Called in for lunch on my first day wandering in Florence. I had lovely crostini and salami followed by spaghetti vongole, a glass of wine and a bottle of water. It was very good and a nice atmosphere with locals and tourists enjoying great food. Well worth a visit if in the area.

Delicious wine, great ambiance, incredible homemade pasta, wild boar with porcini mushrooms, perfect tender lamb, crispy rosmery roasted potatoes, homemade cantucci... incredible. It`s not ranked much higher because it`s just a bit outside the "centro" (like 5 blocks away from Duomo) but it should be between the top ten of Firenze for sure. Almost no tourist, mostly real florentines. For... More

A break from the common pastas. The most tender pork and lamb dishes. Friends also tried the phesant and truffle ravioli, which they loved. Tiny, intimate family owned restaurant. Wonderful! My teenage daughter says, " the best meal in the trip"
