Mattacéna In Firenze

We ate here last night amidst worries about the impending strike disrupting our travel plans. The food was good, but the service was excellent. Our server was so nice, making suggestions to our itinerary changes and even offered to personally drive us to help us get out of Florence! We unfortunately lost her number in the chaos, but want to let her know that our train got to Venice as scheduled this morning and we really appreciated the kind gestures! Eat here and you’ll feel just at home!

I was really satisfied with this restaurant! The staff is friendly and helpful! The service was quick, attentive, and always available for any request. As for the dishes, I found excellent quality at a truly fair price: a value that's hard to find these days. Highly recommended. I'll definitely be back!

My partner and I had lunch here and were truly satisfied. I ordered the lampredotto, served in a lovely terracotta pan with a crust of bread as a garnish: excellent presentation and authentic flavor, truly delicious. My partner chose a tagliata, also perfectly cooked and rich in flavor. To accompany everything, a local Chianti Classico—simply perfect. The restaurant is very unique, with attention to detail, featuring a rustic wooden style that conveys a warm and welcoming atmosphere, almost like feeling at home. The staff was kind, courteous, and attentive throughout the lunch. A place we happily recommend, ideal for enjoying traditional dishes in an authentic and relaxed atmosphere.

Lots of vegan options here with knowledgeable staff! I got a soup and then a vegetable pie served on top a vegan burger. Both were very good - would recommend.

The pappardelle with wild boar and the ribollita were pretty good, but I felt like I was paying more for the vibes than the food.

Lovely authentic Tuscan restaurant with plenty of vegan and vegetarian options. The waitress was lovely and recommended which wine would go well with our food!

It's been a while since I've been, but I still found the same relaxed atmosphere, attentive and friendly staff. The food was excellent (but taste is a personal thing, as we all know). I'll definitely be back more often.

Matta Cena is one of those discoveries that makes you say, "I have to come back here." The atmosphere is convivial, the welcome warm, and the food truly surprising. The real highlight? The all-you-can-eat steak: juicy meat, cooked to perfection, served without reserve and with surprising quality. An innovative format that combines the Tuscan tradition of good meat with the desire for modern conviviality. To complete the experience, a glass of wine accompanies the tasting, enhancing the flavors and making dinner a special moment. It's the detail that makes the difference: simple, elegant, and authentic. Congratulations to Matta Cena for creating an experience that focuses on taste, generosity, and quality. A must-see for those who love fine Florentine cuisine, reinterpreted with originality.

Ambiente mooooolto accogliente, una saletta interna veramente divina. Personale gentilissimo e disponibile...Pici e Tagliatelle ottime e al dente come da espressa richiesta, ottimi anche gli gnocchi e il baccala'. Prezzi modici grazie a The Fork.

Abbiamo scelto questo locale per i piatti tradizionali toscani che proponeva e abbiamo fatto centro. La ribollita aveva i sapori e la stessa cremosità della prima ribollita che avevamo gustato molti anni fa - perfetta! - ed il lampredotto un gusto deciso ma equilibrato con una salsa verde che gli dava un perfetto tocco in più. Ottimo anche il chianti Le Rancole (80% sangiovese e 20% canaiolo non facile da trovare).
