Casa del Vin Santo In Firenze

03/01/2026: We ate very well, typical Florentine trattoria, good and tasty meat, simple but welcoming staff, keep it up

03/01/2026: I'd like to preface this by saying that, having worked in the restaurant industry for 35 years, I always have high expectations, so I may seem very critical, but for me, it's more than just a passion, it's also a job. The atmosphere is in line with a Tuscan trattoria, as one would more or less expect. The staff is young and very customer-friendly. We arrived at 7:10 PM and were immediately seated. The menu included water, bread, and everything you need for the day, taking a maximum of 5 minutes. The dishes arrived at the table at 8:03 PM. The restaurant was at 80% capacity because I looked around while waiting. (Too long.) Let's move on to the food: First note: In my opinion, it was very negative: the food was barely warm. (This is unacceptable because it negates its potential quality.) The peposo was very good, very tender, and well-balanced, but the side dish was salty and almost cold. The wild boar was almost entirely sauce; there was very little meat (definitely an oversight), and since it was lukewarm, I didn't appreciate it as much as I would have liked. The spaghettoni on the menu were actually fettuccine or tagliatelle, not spaghettioni; they were bland and too dry, and not as hot as the rest of the food. A glass of Chianti and a glass of water cost €75, so I'd say that considering the culinary offerings Florence has to offer, especially in the city center, it was definitely not worth the wait.
