Osteria de L'Ortolano In Firenze

A great find in the heart of Florence. I highly recommend it. Beautiful and relaxing location. Marta is very helpful and courteous. I appreciated the home-cooked food and the presentation.

We had dinner on Friday, October 3rd and were pleasantly surprised by the quality and passion that goes into every dish, as well as the kindness and courtesy of Mrs. Marta, a true Florentine like her husband, who is the creator of all these delicious dishes. The place is truly charming and tastefully decorated, and rightly so, it needs a caretaker to protect it, so who better than the wonderful Ken? Well done, keep it up, good luck 🤞🍀

We had the pleasure of eating at this super welcoming and family-friendly place, I truly felt at home. Mrs. Marta is a very sweet and helpful person. She puts love into what she does, which is not a given these days. Compliments to her husband, too, for the dishes, each one better than the last and with attention to the smallest details. The products are high-quality. I highly recommend everyone to try eating at Martarè.

The food was very good; all the different courses were explained to us. They have a few dishes, but they're simple and good, and you can tell they're homemade. The service was a bit slow, but they explained to us that they were short on staff that evening. I don't want to penalize them for that, especially since she told us it was an accident and the lady was very kind.

Beautiful, elegant, welcoming, and clean restaurant. The quality of the food was excellent, freshly cooked; you could taste the flavors, aromas, and colors. The owner welcomed us kindly and always made us feel at home. The service and dishes were excellent. Even the music in the restaurant was perfectly in tune with the atmosphere and our tastes.

This place is a true gem for those seeking an authentic Florentine experience. The atmosphere is simple yet elegant, and every detail at the table is meticulously crafted. The owner is a constant yet discreet presence in the dining room, and with her attentiveness and friendliness, she makes you feel instantly at home. The dishes are a true delight, celebrating tradition with authentic flavors and excellent ingredients. Every course we sampled was a pleasant surprise, a true explosion of flavor, along with an excellent selection of wines. If we really wanted to find a flaw, it would be that we didn't get to meet the chef, the owner's husband, beforehand. He only showed up, obviously due to his dedication in the kitchen, at the end of the evening. We would have loved to compliment him earlier on his excellent work in the kitchen! Two truly exquisite people, whose meticulous cuisine made us spend a wonderful evening with friends. In short, an unforgettable culinary experience, a true journey through the flavors of Tuscany. A must-try for anyone who wants to enjoy authentic Florentine cuisine in a welcoming and refined atmosphere.

An excellent culinary experience, with a very attentive waitress who knew how to recommend the perfect wine to pair the dishes perfectly. The dishes (first and second) were delicious, perfectly cooked and seasoned. We'd love to discover even more Tuscan cuisine after a visit to Martare. The only downside was the preparation time, but we were warned from the menu that making the dish to order takes time. Once the dish is on the plate, it's well worth the wait.

A charming and refined place, yet simple and authentic... with attention to detail, both in the decor and, above all, in the cuisine. The dishes are prepared with quality ingredients and with great passion in cooking and presenting them. For lovers of Florentine cuisine and, above all, for those who appreciate beauty in all its forms. A note to the owner, whose name I unfortunately don't know: dear lady, her beautiful fresh flowers on the tables, the small handbag chairs, the simple elegance of the place, and her passionately presented dishes are simply outstanding! Congratulations, and see you soon.

Wow Wow Wow Este debe ser uno de los mejores restaurantes de propiedad familiar en la Toscana. De una cálida bienvenida y un menú atractivo. Antipasti para morirse, increíble selección de vinos y un anfitrión muy bien entrenado y bien informado. Una decoración muy pensada y elegante creando un ambiente acogedor y agradable. El Especial de la noche de pasta enrollada a mano con limón 🍋 y salsa de jamón fino fue increíble. Tanto amor y pensamiento ha entrado en este restaurante. Volveremos. Los jueces de la Guía Michelin tienen que pasar por aquí pronto.

Location e servizio : - Locale moderno, elegante e accogliente. La musica in sottofondo migliora l’atmosfera perché avvolge e non dà assolutamente fastidio. - Servizio eccellente. Accolti dalla proprietaria Marta che con gioia e gentilezza, ci ha accompagnato in questo bel viaggio di sapori e tradizione. Anche di fronte a domande sui piatti e sulle ricette risultava ben felice di rispondere e di fare conoscere i prodotti della loro cucina. Ci ha fatto sentire completamente a nostro agio con qualche chiacchiera e battuta durante il servizio. I miei più sinceri complimenti. Cibo : - Prima ancora di ricevere gli antipasti, ci è stata offerta qualche pizzetta al pomodoro. Buona, calda e saporita. È stato molto apprezzato. - Gli antipasti, divisi tra caldi e freddi, sono abbondanti per una singola persona, quindi meglio condividere la bontà dei piatti. Tra un olio eccezionale, il pane fatto da loro ( tra piccoli panini, pane arrostito e profumato con origano e schiacciata, tutto fatto da loro ), un crostino toscano delicato e leggero, e un piccolo panino stracchino e salsiccia che esplode in bocca, posso dire soltanto che era tutto buonissimo. Questo antipasto super completo lo considero un piccolo viaggio nella tradizione. Inoltre, per alcuni degli antipasti veniva aggiunto un fiore edibile che aggiungeva una nota colorata e un sentore al palato . - Andando sui primi piatti, ho avuto modo di assaggiare sia gli gnocchi che un fuori menù del giorno, ravioli ricotta e spinaci conditi con una crema di formaggio blu. I ravioli avevano un’ottima consistenza e lo spessore della pasta era proporzionato al ripieno, ben fatto e molto gradevole. La crema di blu era adatta a quei ravioli, che venivano avvolti e coccolati da questo gusto erborinato. Per quanti riguarda gli gnocchi ho apprezzato la loro consistenza e leggerezza. Buona la crema di pecorino, necessaria ad ogni boccone, perché senza, lo gnocco mancava un po’ di sapore. Tutto sommato un piatto più che gradevole. - Passando brevemente ai secondi, ho dato un piccolo assaggio all’ossobuco di maiale. Buono, ben cotto, delicato, e anche i contorni a fianco del piatto per niente male. Piatto ben riuscito. Aggiungo che ci sono stati offerti anche i cantuccini prodotti da loro. Eccezionali. Croccanti, leggeri e delicati. Prezzo : Prezzo eccellente considerando quantità, qualità e posizione del locale. Credo sia veramente il costo corretto, quindi davvero un ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo . Conclusioni : Una bellissima scoperta dove ho avuto modo di conoscere una proprietaria gentilissima, dell’ottimo cibo, in un locale non turistico dove trascorrere una cena tranquilla e di gusto, nel quale divertirsi a scoprire tutto ciò che i proprietari hanno da raccontare attraverso i piatti. Chiaramente, da ritornarci.
