Pizzeria La Gioconda In Sesto fiorentino

12/10/2025: I visited Vecchio Carlino during a weekend in Florence and fell in love with it. The atmosphere is authentic and welcoming, with a touch of Tuscan tradition that makes you feel instantly at home. The staff is incredibly kind and always ready to recommend the perfect dish or a good local wine. The food is simply fantastic: I tried the Florentine steak, cooked to perfection, and the pici with ragù—truly unforgettable! The desserts also deserve a special mention, especially the house tiramisu. Excellent value and a true Tuscan culinary experience.

19/09/2025: Excellent service, super friendly waiters (one of whom spoke Spanish very well), and short wait times between ordering and being served. I went with my partner without a reservation on a Friday night, and even though it was busy, they still had tables available. The food was very good; the risotto was delicious, as was the truffle carbonara. Since we were hungry (but not too hungry), we ordered a margherita pizza for both of us, which was immediately brought to our table, also very good 👌🏻 The restaurant is just a few minutes' walk from the train station (about 15 minutes). I would go again 😉
