Il Vicolo In Sesto fiorentino

Lunch booked through TheFork with a 50% discount. The place is familiar and informal, without too many pretensions. From the outside, you wouldn't expect a place like this because it's on a busy road and has limited parking. The cuisine is very good and carefully prepared. Traditional Tuscan and Sardinian dishes come together, an unusual and curious yet effective combination! The service is very attentive and courteous. Overall, a very positive experience; we'll be back!

Everything perfect, excellent meat at a good price!

A restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere and an interesting menu featuring traditional Tuscan and Sardinian cuisine. Service was prompt, the staff were friendly and helpful, and the menu we chose was completely satisfying, offering excellent value!

This is the second time I've been here for work and I have to say that the food is quite good.

I dined at Il Vicolo, booking through TheFork with a 50% discount. The restaurant is simple, with an informal and unpretentious yet welcoming atmosphere. The cuisine is good, featuring local dishes prepared simply yet carefully. You can taste the attention to detail, while still maintaining a traditional, home-style feel. The service is relaxed, not formal, in keeping with the restaurant's ambiance. One note: having booked with a 50% discount through TheFork, the website specified that only drinks and cover charge were not discounted, but when we ordered, we were informed that meat was not included in the promotion. It would be better to specify this in advance or indicate it more clearly before arriving. Overall, a positive experience for a simple, traditional dinner. I recommend it.

I’ll admit it: I almost skipped Il Vicolo because of the not-so-great Google reviews. But it was a short, easy walk from the Novotel, and curiosity won. Friday night at 8 pm, the place was basically empty—which probably explains some of the bad press. Service was perfectly fine. There is a bit of a language barrier, but the staff made an honest effort and were friendly and accommodating to us non-Italian speakers. Now, the pizza. I ordered the prosciutto and mushrooms, and suddenly the negative reviews from my fellow Americans made sense. If you’re expecting a thick crust and a heavy blanket of rubbery, coagulated cheese… this isn’t that pizza. Thankfully. This is a thin, well-balanced pizza with a bright, flavorful sauce, prosciutto, mushrooms, and a generous hit of parsley that ties everything together. Light, fresh, and packed with flavor—every bite worked. Is it fancy? Not even close. Is it worth coming back for the pizza alone? Absolutely. Sometimes the best bites don’t photograph well—but they deliver where it counts

A simple restaurant with no extras. The food is very good and the owner is accommodating even if you don't speak Italian.

I'm giving 3 stars for the atmosphere because when I went, the place wasn't heated properly. I was eating and feeling cold. The food was well-cooked and good. The place is okay.

It's actually quite basic, but fine for its customers. There's hardly anything negative about it, but also very little positive.

The food was really very good but really, I ate with my 2 little girls who are fussy eaters and the eldest 10 year old even went crazy for the cacio/pepe pasta (and that's already a lot if she eats plain pasta 😅), really compliments to the chef
