Osteria Vecchio Cancello In Firenze

Incredible, here we taste the typical Fiorentina ribollita (vegetable soup) and the paccheri alaaaaa ragù di lampredotto (caillette stew) and the cinghiale del calciattore (braised wild boar), accompanied by a Chianti classico with a beautiful texture. You have to go there to believe it

I had the pleasure of dining at this Tuscan restaurant, and I must say it was an exceptional experience. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with rustic yet meticulously crafted furnishings that instantly make you feel at home. The staff is incredibly kind and attentive, always ready to recommend the perfect dish or a good local wine to pair. The cuisine is simply extraordinary: traditional dishes prepared with fresh, quality ingredients. The Florentine steak was cooked to perfection, tender and flavorful, while the pici with Cinta Senese ragù was a true masterpiece. The desserts also deserve a mention: the cantuccio with vin santo was the perfect ending to an impeccable dinner. A place I absolutely recommend to anyone who loves authentic Tuscan cuisine and wants a genuine and flavorful experience. I will definitely be back! 🍷🍝

Fabulous food (steak, tiramisu, panna cotta), super friendly staff: attentive but not overbearing, and away from the tourist traps. Can’t recommend highly enough. They deserve all the great reviews they’ve had.

Whenever I'm asked what the most delicious meal was during my 16-night trip to Europe, I always say it was here!! It was the best Italian food I've ever had, and the T-bone steak was truly... truly different. Honestly, Koreans are so good at cooking that other Italian dishes didn't really stand out, but the T-bone steak here was on a whole other level. I ordered it medium-rare, and it was perfectly done, and when I sliced ​​it, it was tender. And when I added truffle salt, olive oil, and other ingredients to my liking, it was heavenly. ㅠㅠ Of course, I also ordered wine, pasta, risotto, and more, and they were all delicious! The service was great, and the waiters were fun and friendly. When I think of good restaurants in my travels, this place will always be the first thing that comes to mind. Thank you for creating such wonderful memories!

Really enjoyed the food here, everything tasted fresh and homemade.

I chanced upon this restaurant while craving risotto. After waiting a bit, I was offered a courtesy drink, which was nice. We were served by a friendly waiter (short blonde hair – let’s call him A). We ordered a burrata truffle salad and a main each. We asked for balsamic vinegar, which was served with the salad. Waiter A kindly drizzled some and left the bottle. Soon after, another waiter (taller man – B) came swiftly, took the vinegar bottle away, and put it back on the rack. Later, when my husband asked for a bit more, waiter B replied that the vinegar costs €50 and isn’t for bread. That really spoiled the mood — I couldn’t believe we were being told how to eat, especially after paying €16.50 for the salad. Despite that, waiter A remained attentive. We decided to have tiramisu (though we were full) just to end the meal nicely. The food was hearty, and we spent about €90 for two, leaving a tip for waiter A for his good service. I’m giving 3 stars — one for waiter A, one for the chef, one for the cosy ambience. However, please treat your diners with more dignity. For a few drops of balsamic on a paid salad, I don’t need to be told its price or how to eat my food. If it’s too costly to share, don’t serve it or list it as an extra on the menu. We’ve been touring Italy for a week and had lovely experiences everywhere, but sadly, this was the most unpleasant one.

Absolutely fabulous! The food was perfect, the wine very good, and the staff was absolutely delightful! Merci beaucoup pour ce dîner !

We ate wonderfully! The Florentine steak was impeccable, with flavors we'd never tried before and high-quality ingredients. The service was excellent, attentive but never intrusive, with every request handled flawlessly. Special praise goes to the staff, truly perfect: kind, professional, and always smiling. And then... Valentino is number 1! A charismatic presence that makes the experience even more enjoyable. We'll definitely be back! Go Milan and Juventus!!

Ci siamo fermati per pranzo ed è stata un'ottima scoperta. Locale molto accogliente, staff competente e all' altezza. La qualità delle materie prime , in particolare la carne, è veramente alta. Consigliatissimo!

Un dignitoso ristorante del centro. Prevalentemente frequentato da turisti, da quello che ho visto. Personale gentile. Prezzi un po’ alti.
