Ristorante Pizzeria La Tortuga In Firenze

08/05/2025: Really enjoyed our Florentine steak dinner at Caffe Italiano

05/05/2025: Just previously read about this place near the Galileo Museo & Basilica Croce on the Southeast side. Lots of overall positive reviews of the aforementioned attributes: 5 stars in every aspect. My gf and I walked about 8 mins to this lively spot after leaving the Galileo; it’s our final night in Firenze so we wanted a high quality meal to remember the city by —and that we got— along with friendly service staff. Carbonara was done to perfection here, al dente & tasty—- some other places just don’t get it right. Raviolis with meat sauce and roasted sea bass (branzino) with thinly sliced yukon potatoes, capers & sun dried tomatoes were also well executed. I’d spent 20yrs in kitchens career wise and this is how hospitality/F & B industry should strive for. We didn’t do dessert, but I’m sure they’re also very good. Bes was our server along with a sweet young lady and good natured male host.
