22/08/2026: We had a wonderful experience at Grotta Guelfa! The location is perfect, right in the heart of Florence, just steps from Ponte Vecchio. We booked dinner through TheFork, but unfortunately, we had mistakenly booked for two people the following evening.
One of the waitresses, noticing the problem, kindly came to let us know and was incredibly helpful: she canceled the incorrect reservation and honored our reservation for that evening, even keeping the discount. We really appreciated this gesture.
It was our first time eating Fiorentina, and another waitress was extremely professional in recommending the different cuts of meat and telling us which was best. She also advised us on the best way to cook it and, right at the table, cut the meat for us, explaining the correct way to do it, and then served it already divided into two portions.
We found the staff to be very friendly, helpful, and above all, welcoming. Even when we received the bill, they immediately reminded us of the discount, which is always appreciated because it avoids any potential embarrassment or confusion.
As an added touch, we were offered an amaro at the end of the meal, and after payment, we were given cantucci biscuits to take home: a truly thoughtful touch that made the evening a perfect end.
We ate a shared platter, a glass of wine, water, a Florentine steak with fillet, and a side of baked potatoes, for a total cost (with the discount applied) of around €30 each (more than excellent)!
The price was truly excellent and the quality-price ratio was excellent.
A perfect evening, made even more special by the excellent staff.
We highly recommend La Grotta Guelfa and will definitely be back!
