L'ORTONE In Firenze

Spaghetti was outstanding and the lamb chops were superb. Combined with great service and a vibrant atmosphere led to a super dining experience.

As a Roman, trusting the word of mouth among locals, I decided to try it when I came to Florence. The place immediately looked charming, with tasteful wood and stone furnishings. Sitting at the table upstairs, we were served by Leida, polite, professional, knowledgeable, and friendly, who was able to point out the cuisine's highlights. The appetizers were excellent, including caponata, fried tongue, cannellini beans, baked cabbage and broccoli, and fried anchovies. Again on Leida's recommendation, we tried the amazing grilled gnocchi with oxtail sauce. For the main course, Leida raved about their Fiorentina steak. Excellent, tender, flavorful, and surprisingly delicate. The braised beef cheek and pork leg were also excellent, all accompanied by baked potatoes, mashed potatoes, and vegetables. To finish, Leida managed to get us to enjoy Sacher torte, apple pie, cantucci with vin santo, and a few drops of Labaro. The wine list is also interesting. Excellent evening. I'll pass the word along, you guys can go eat at Ortone.

It was a nice evening. The food was good, the wine nice. Unfortunately, we expected a little bit more.

Everything was superb, the food, the service, the atmosphere. Ate here with my wife and two kids and everyone enjoyed their meal, even the pescitarian! 100% the best meal we had in Florence!

I can proudly say that I tried many famous steakhouses, but this place is the best! I am truly sad because this was my last day in florence, and because I ordered small size steak...

On my trip to Italy I wanted to. eat good food. L'Ortone was a great place for that. For the first course, I had the swordfish Carpaccio - honestly the highlight of the meal. Extremely tasty and paired very well with the sauce. Next off, I had the pepe al pomodoro with pesto. The pasta itself was wonderful, but the pesto had an overpowering taste. To drink, I had a glass of Pinot grigio recommended by the waiter, which paired well with the meal. The staff was professional and kind, as they made the experience better. The atmosphere was great, especially as I dined solo but I did not feel awkward. I wish the music was a little better curated. Overall, thank you for the amazing meal!

Great food, refined yet with local ingredients and traditional taste. An interesting experience.

One of the best meals I’ve had in Italy. Excellent service and food. The oxtail gnocchi was wonderful
