One of Florence's oldest restaurants, not to be missed for its cuisine and its privileged position in front of the cathedral!

Since 1882, it has been one of the city's oldest restaurants, retaining its reputation and soul thanks to the quality of its cuisine and its privileged position in front of the cathedral! But also thanks to its grilled meats and bistecca alla fiorentina, which are not to be missed, without missing out on a little innovation. Try the tortelloni stuffed with smoked scamorza with saffron potato cream and zucchini. Wonderful red-brick vaults adorn the dining room, and its terrace in front of the cathedral is a privilege.

What a fantastic place right near the Duomo. Went there the first night we arrived and was greeted by the friendly staff. Food was delicious and service even better. Went there every night then at least for a drink at the end of the night for the next few days. The staff not only remembered us but also our drinks order. All of them were lovely - the Italian men, the Sri Lankan and the Romanian girl.

It’s a quaint little basement restaurant with narrow stairs down. The decor and table setting is lovely. I can’t remember what the pasta dishes are called but they were good and the house Chianti is good. The only problem I had was when the whole lid of the black pepper came loose and half the bottle of pepper landed in my plate. I had to scrape the pepper to one side but the pasta was still edible. The waiter thought I put too much pepper when he cleared my plate.

Un'esperienza culinaria indimenticabile nel cuore di Firenze! Il ristorante in Piazza Duomo offre non solo una vista mozzafiato sulla celebre cattedrale, ma anche piatti deliziosi che esaltano la tradizione culinaria toscana. L'atmosfera elegante e accogliente si unisce a un servizio impeccabile, rendendo ogni momento trascorso qui un vero piacere. Consiglio vivamente di assaggiare la ribollita, la bistecca alla fiorentina e, per concludere in dolcezza, il tiramisù fatto in casa. Un luogo da non perdere per chi desidera vivere appieno l'essenza della cucina fiorentina!
