I've been coming since they opened. The service is excellent, fast, and friendly.
The sandwiches are excellent; you can tell the cured meats are homemade.
The quality is also excellent for the osteria, with simple, tasty dishes and just the right amount.
The steak is exceptional!!!
It's worth coming back!

The restaurant is located in the square where Livorno's fruit and vegetable market is set up every morning, slightly hidden behind the vendors' stalls, but it's immediately recognizable by the menus hanging outside.
As soon as you enter, you're greeted by an authentic, rustic atmosphere: a quaint setting dominated by the large counter and hanging hams, a nod to local tradition.
In addition to sandwiches and other delicacies, you can also enjoy lunch or dinner with authentic dishes, and here's the surprise.
I ordered seafood tagliatelle (off the menu) and baby octopus stew, similar to cacciucco: both dishes were rich in flavor, well-cooked, and generously portioned.
The tagliatelle was perhaps a little too peppery for my taste, but so good that I couldn't put down a single bite.
The baby octopus, delicious, also deserved to be mopped up!
The service is attentive and courteous, with short wait times and helpful staff.
Prices are in line with the average for similar establishments, appropriate for the quality and quantity of the dishes.
In short, a quick but truly delicious lunch in a traditional and authentic restaurant that perfectly captures the spirit of Livorno.
I will definitely return to try other specialties: highly recommended!

We ordered two schiacciate: the Tramontana and the Libeccio! They're truly enormous and delicious! Highly recommended!

A historic place that has preserved all the tradition of "good old Giovanni"... an institution when it comes to sandwiches... and more. You can never go wrong here. Well done, well done, very well done.

In the center of Livorno, a casual yet welcoming place. The staff is friendly, helpful, and courteous. I had a Tuscan soup and bread that would have been a shame to leave behind. Excellent in every way!
