L'Osteria di Giovanni In Firenze

Best dinner I had in Florence with incredible food and service. To come back! A very good pasta with truffles and a very good seafood spaghetti.

Absolutely amazing. The service is what separates this place from others and the food is to die for. Great atmosphere! Can’t wait to come back.

We had a super comfortable dinner. Excellent service and good food.

First of all in terms of service they tick everything one can expect in service. Their service is way beyond one’s expectations. I could give 10 stars. Amazing food quality and vegetarian options. Very flavorful food. Ambience was very warm/cozy and comfortable. There are very few countable restaurants that surpasses our expectations and this is one of them. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Phenomenal meal with terrific and warm service in a beautiful location near the Westin and St Regis hotels. The experience starts with the specialty fried bread before choosing among a number of fresh specials. The Florentine steak was simply superb - one of the best steaks I have ever had. But I was also jealous of the fresh fish I saw being served to my neighboring tables. Make sure to reserve as the locals love this place and all the tables were filled midweek in March. Try it, you won't regret it.

The meat was cooked well and sealed very well, and the juice was just right. As a starter, the bagel-like fried dough (served with cheese and meat) was very good. All the staff are very friendly, grazie Yuri!

First time in Florence and first place where we had dinner and what can I say... our holiday started off really well. I immediately noticed the perfect control of the situation in marking the times between the various shifts of people dining and even if you have to wait for your table to become free you don't suffer from the wait because there is always an aperitif to entertain you. The waiters are kind and listen to your food preferences, because not everyone can always eat what's on the menu even if it's good. You feel pampered, but not suffocated, they are all very discreet and exchange chatter and opinions if they see that you like them. The place is beautiful, clean, large and divided into several rooms, better to book before going. We ate typical cuisine and meat accompanied by an excellent wine which, on the waiter's recommendation, was an excellent pairing.

Stunning food - we had the pork & kale pici which was to die for, and my dad had the veal ossobuco which was SO so delicious. Fantastic service, so friendly and welcoming. Brilliant, bustling warm atmosphere. Thank you for a great first evening in Florence!

I did not have a dinner reservation for any place on this date of 9/6/2023. I remembered a place that had been highly recommended to us by some fellow guests at our hotel. We showed up at 7:30 pm without a reservation. Place was not busy so we were able to be seated immediately at a lovely table. I really liked the ambiance of this place when we arrived and my feeling continued to when we left. The staff are extremely friendly and very willing to offer information about items on the menu and/or offer recommendations. Along with the usual bread basket we were presented with fried bread pasta bites? I know our server explained this to us but all I can remember is how delicious these bread bites were! We might not have finished all the bread in the basket but these bites were quickly consumed. For drinks we are a pretty boring couple. My husband got beer-Poretti and I got a glass of the house wine-red. We're happy with our choices but my husband says he really likes Peroni beer best. For appetizer I see fried zucchini flowers on the menu. We get that. They were so, so tasty. I ordered the filet mignon-done medium. It was perfectly cooked as I had requested. It came with roasted potatoes and swiss chard. My husband decided to order the fish of the day. Drat! I didn't make note of what kind of fish this was but he said it was very good and not overcooked. His dish came with roasted potatoes and vegetables. Dessert. I got the tiramisu which was yummy. Every bite was a joy. My husband decided to go with gelato. Out of the flavors on the menu he chose pistachio. He said it hit the spot. Perfect way to end our meal. All the food was terrific. Service was spot on. At the end of our meal we got complimentary almond biscotti and limoncello shots. We also got a small bag of the almond biscotti to take with us! So glad we came here. By the time we were leaving it was very busy which wasn't a surprise given the quality of food and the excellent service provided. Cost 108€/$116.68. Highly recommend this place.

Locale storico di Firenze con servizio attento e cortese. Piacevole l’ambiente. Ottimo l’olio nuovo come entree. Sublimi i tagliolini al tartufo, l’insalata di Carciofi con scaglie di parmigiano, il filetto di maialino castagne e pere ed il Piccione del Valdarno (Piatto del Buon Ricordo). Meritano anche i dolci e la carta di vini e distillati
