Antica Osteria del Sole In Montelupo fiorentino

A typical Tuscan restaurant right in the center of Montelupo Fiorentino. A top-notch atmosphere, a warm welcome, and excellent food, especially the mouth-watering Florentine steak! What more can I say? A place we'll definitely return to!

Antica Osteria del Sole, located in the heart of Montelupo Fiorentino, is highly regarded for its meats, particularly the excellent Florentine steak, cooked rare and perfectly done. Customers praise the quality of the Tuscan ingredients, the tender meat, the green peppercorn fillet, and the excellent value, all in a quaint and welcoming atmosphere. Also noteworthy are the excellent first courses and wood-fired pizza.

Nice rustic restaurant in the old part of the city. It truly feels like a place where locals go, which is always a good sign when you’re looking for something authentic. The atmosphere was warm and cozy, with soft jazz music playing in the background. They have their own house red wine, with a bottle placed on every table, which adds a charming touch. I didn’t try it because I had to drive, but I took a bottle with me instead. I ordered a steak, medium rare, and it was absolutely perfect — tender and melting in the mouth. Dogs are also welcome, which makes the place even more inviting. Overall, a wonderful and complete dining experience.

Excellent restaurant, stunning location, ancient and meticulously maintained. There's even a room with an Etruscan well. The staff is qualified, impeccable, extremely kind and attentive. The food... Superlative! The wine cellar is well-stocked. The price is reasonable for the service. I highly recommend it! We'll be back!

Excellent pizzas! The tomato sauce is among the tastiest I've ever had; they just need to add a little more garlic to the marinara. Otherwise, the pizzaiuolo is top notch!

A restaurant for locals, but in the heart of Montelupo. We ordered pappardelle al chingiale with chocolate flakes and black olives, a combination I'll definitely be adding to my recipe repertoire, and an incredible lasagna. The half-liter of table wine was also very good. The service was excellent. Everything was 10/10. The atmosphere was warm, elegant, and welcoming. I'll be back for the juicy bisteca fiorentina, which looked so tempting. I highly recommend it if you're in Montelupo or the surrounding area. The prices are very reasonable.

The price is disproportionate to the price, the grill menu needs to be reviewed, it's terrible

This is our second year here, and it's still an excellent place. The atmosphere is beautiful and warm, with wines in the background and beautifully presented tables. The food is very good, with recommended appetizers and appropriate portions. The steak was truly excellent, cooked perfectly rare. The trio of desserts is highly recommended. The first course (pappardelle) didn't leave a wow effect on me, but it was still very good. The house wine isn't bad. On a negative note, the service was very polite and impeccable. Unfortunately, I can't say the same about the girl who served us. There are subjective things that can be annoying, and that's about it. But there were two things I didn't appreciate at all. First, the limoncello brought to the table without being asked for and added to the bill. It's not going to cost me 3 euros to starve me, but I'm talking about the gesture. The worst thing was that EVERY time—and I mean EVERY time—a plate seemed half-empty, he always came asking for it to be taken away. It was even taken away while I was still chewing. I'm sorry, but I just can't stand that. All in all, the quality/price ratio is fair. Some things are reasonably priced, like 10 euros for a first course, others are overpriced, like 5 euros for a small portion of fries. But all in all, you eat well in a nice place.

Welcoming, with a warm, typically Tuscan atmosphere, you can dine on simple yet delicious dishes like pizza or the classic Florentine steak paired with a good Chianti. A lovely open-view wine cellar with a good selection of wines, including house wines. Prices are reasonable for the area. Highly recommended.
