Our best meal in Italy as much for the food as the kindness and patience of the owner, Antonio.
Due to a booking error on our part, they didn't have our reservation on their books. They were totally committed and turned other walk in customers away. We were disappointed and ready to leave when Antonio told us declaratively, "Don't worry, you will eat here tonight."
The food was a true quality experience in Tuscan food. They explained EVERY item on the menu.
We started with two soups: the Ribolito and the Papa Di Pomodoro. Both fantastic and so unlike any soup I have had because of the added bread. I ate these soups with a fork. Try one or both as starters.
Pasta was next and we had the Penne and Picci. One had a meat sauce and the other plain tomato sauce. Simple and pure in flavors.
We ended with a 1.3 kilo steak shared 4 ways which was charred on the outside and still mooing on the inside. Delicious. We also had beans and potatoes which were delicious and not mooing at all.
Desert was a slice of homemade custard torte and a slice of apple/pear torte.
Everyone, starting with Antonio, was gracious, warm and patient even though they had to squeeze to let us in. All in all, our most memorable meal in a trip filled with good meals. -

Best Tuscan steak in TOWN!!! Found this when researching best meals in florence and was not disappointed. The space is nice, has an antique feel to it, and has bottles of chianti at every table as their house wine (priced like no wines in the states at a restaurant!). The Tuscan steak is certified with an actual sign on the door, as there are requirements for florentine steak (has to be the right kind of cattle). All in all with a 2kg piece of perfectly cooked steak, appetizers, and plenty of wine for 4, we spent no more than 90 Euros!!! Make sure to check them out!

Do not get the Passa Di Fagioli soup. Looks and tastes like Plaster of Paris (yes, I was a little kid once and know what that taste and smells like). The tagliatelle pasta, on the other hand, was delicious. A simple tomato based sauce with a bright flavor prevailed. Probably makes anyone who cooks think "I could do that!" As simple as the dish appears, it is likely beyond what most home chefs can pull off. Believe me, I've tried and will continue to do so. Your luck and talents may be better. It's probably me, but also has to do with the local ingredients - garlic, olive oil, salt, tomatoes and ?
Had the bifsteak. With all the great reviews, I expected to be blown away. Alas, I was not. The filet was good but rest of the cut was unusually tough. Had to chew and chew and chew before trying to casually spit out the tough grit. Happened for more than 4 bites. Maybe it's because I live in Texas now and have become San Francisco smug about my steaks, but I expected better from this highly rated Restuarant. -

It boggles my mind that this bistro made it into the Rick Steves Italy 2017 guidebook. Rick's recommendations have NEVER failed us in the past, but this place was a food and service disaster, right down to a bland, watered down Chianti house red that harkens back to the days before the DOCG was able to turn off the spigot of swill pouring out of Tuscany.
Service was choppy and perfunctory. My pork stew with potatoes was serviceable, if somewhat fatty, and very bland -- no seasoning whatever. Which was better than the bowl of penne bolognese my wife managed, like a champ, to half finish. Anyone with 30 minutes, a stovetop and a box of noodles could beat that dish. And don't get me started on the soup.
50 euros wasted. Too many other options all over Florence to walk in this doorway...someone is loving the Rick Steves recommendation and laughing all the way to the bank. Atrocious.
