Cantinetta Antinori In Firenze

28/06/2025: My wife and I got here at 9:45 on a Saturday night and they held the kitchen open for us. We had the set menu they offer (entree, main course, side, water and wine) for $20, and all of it was excellent. The service was over the top and we ended up having a very nice conversation with Samuel (waiter) until way past closing time. The restaurant itself was nicely decorated and cozy. I can't recommend this restaurant enough. I only took pictures of the entree because I was too busy eating and talking with Samuel.

24/06/2025: We stopped in for dinner on our last night in Firenze and couldn't have asked for a better send-off. The menu tradizionale featured a choice of a primo, a sicondo, and a contorno (side) for each person, along with water and a glass of house chianti. There were copious options for each, including pasta fresca a funghi and pesto gnocchi as primi, a steak of porchetta and a mozzarella a buffala for the sicondi, and zucchine, insalata mista, and other options for the side. None disappointed. We wrapped up with an assortment of desserts and digestivi, all for barely over 100 euros for our party of four...even though my stepson got the bistecca alla fiorentina, which arrived sizzling and fresh. Meanwhile, the service was outstanding. Our host was friendly and funny and told us about the food and the region and helped us feel right at home. I strongly recommend this restaurant for a true family-style atmosphere and food with a homemade feel.
