Trattoria Sostanza In Firenze

This restaurant is an absolute treasure! Established in 1869 and relocated to its current spot in 1933, it boasts a rich history paired with unforgettable flavors. The breast chicken with butter sauce was extraordinary—perfectly tender and bursting with flavor. And the meringue strawberry dessert? Simply out of this world! A perfect balance of crunch and sweetness, it's a must-try. The atmosphere is warm and timeless, and the service is impeccable. If you're in Florence, don't miss this gem!

Il tortino di carciofi mondiale,la bistecca spaziale assolutamente da provare!!

Reservation required. I went there on the first day and was told I had to make a reservation, so I made a reservation for lunch the next day. Dinner is not possible because it is fully booked. I heard good reviews about the butter chicken, but... it's chicken breast, and it's very soft and moist. But I don't think it's a taste I would strongly recommend... The vegetable soup was not too salty and was good for comforting a stomach tired from steak or other greasy foods. The lamb tripe menu was especially soft and delicious. The last meringue cake I ate was the most memorable..!

This was our first meal in Florence, and by far the best! When you smell a waft of the butter from the butter chicken as the dish is being served out.. your mouth just starts watering. The butter chicken, fiorentina steak and meringue dessert was absolutely amazing. We will hopefully be back again some day!

Perfect, authentic trattoria! We recommend the butter chicken and the meringue cake, cream, fresh from the forest! Remember to book, closed on Saturday.

Delicious food and great atmosphere:)

Este es un clásico viejo gruñón, restaurante italiano con paredes de paneles de madera. Consigue el filete florentino (es lo suficientemente grande para 2 ) , y el tortino di carciofi - - son los must haves. El pollo con mantequilla también es simplemente delicioso. He visitado en tres viajes diferentes y volvería. Recomiendo una reserva!

Fun dishes and great atmosphere. We’ve gone for years but this visit was our last one. Butter chicken and artichoke dish great as always but robotic service. Got rushed out for the next reservation even though we ordered two bottles of wine which was annoying. Three turns a night at any restaurant in Italy is offensive (730pm reservation booted at 9pm). Many better options that appreciate your business.

I visited on the last evening of my Florence itinerary, and it was truly the best ❤️ It was a taste that made me forget about all the other restaurants and foods. Originally, you had to make a reservation before visiting, but we were in a hurry so we couldn't make a reservation and visited as a walk-in. I went at 7:20 and asked if there was a table, but unfortunately they told me that it would be difficult to make a reservation today because it was fully booked. I said I would wait in case there was a no-show, and they very willingly agreed. In the end, there was a no-show so I was able to eat 😀 (Thank you to those who made a reservation but did not come) The menu included butter chicken, ravioli, lamb (a type of tripe) with tomato sauce, steak, and meringue cake for dessert. I couldn't compare the taste of ravioli because I haven't tried it at other stores, and it's difficult to compare the butter chicken/tomato dish as it's my first time trying it. However, it is rare to experience a completely new taste in life, and I got to experience it here. (Everyone I went with was very satisfied) The steak was much more delicious than the famous restaurants recommended by Korean guides. The price is reasonable, so there's no reason not to eat it! Meringue cake is also recommended as a dessert. Actually, I was full before dessert, so I was debating whether to eat dessert or not... I thought it was a good idea to order it as it had a light texture that melted easily. Overall, I highly recommend it. Please definitely go!

Este podría ser el mejor restaurante que probarás en Florencia. Tiene el mejor pollo con mantequilla. Tal vez el mejor pollo en cualquier parte. Las tortillas de alcachofa también eran geniales. De postre, tuvimos el pastel de merengue con frambuesas que estaba súper delicioso. Gran servicio. Pequeño con solo 6 mesas, por lo que una reserva es una necesidad. Muy recomendable.
