Trattoria Sostanza In Firenze

A place that makes good butter chicken

The best meal we had so far in italy!! Ordered the butter chicken breast, artichoke pie and meringue cake🩷 everything was so perfect. Everyone was really nice too good service

The best meal we had in Firenze, and we had many good meals. The butter chicken and the tortellini in chicken broth were exceptional.

Reservations are a MUST! And yes, they are typically booked up way in advance. It's a tiny restaurant that serves some delicious local dishes. Omg, I'm still dreaming of that mouth watering chicken! Because of its size, do expect to sit with others or close by others. Best way to connect with people as a result of this highly sought after restaurant.

I made a reservation via email three weeks in advance from Korea and visited. The servers were all incredibly friendly, and while the interior is small, it feels cozy, like a century-old restaurant. The butter chicken is a must-try. It's my first time trying chicken, and it's incredibly tender and the best I've had in Italy. The pasta, which tasted like dumpling soup, was fresh, and while the offal dish was a new experience for me, it's familiar to Koreans, so I didn't feel uncomfortable. I'd love to visit again. Thank you for the delicious food!

This is a top-notch trattoria, with excellent service and of course the food. The meat in the bistecca melts in your mouth with just a few bites, and the savory flavor is amazing. The artichoke omelette is also delicious, so much so that even people who don't like artichokes will love it.

Too much to say. Without a doubt a priority for Florence. Call and book ahead

This was recommended by a local. It's a small place running (probably) by the family circles. The menu is simple and doesn't provide many selections like others. It's by reservation only and the guests get serve by waves. This means that everyone goes in at certain time and everyone leaves after a meal period. The next wave will be served after the tables are cleaned and set up. We ordered the 1kg T-bone, the butter chicken, and a pasta to share. The T-bone aged very good, fats removed, cooked just as requested, and it tasted like a premium steak. However, it lookes smaller than the 1kg that I had at the other restaurant. The butter chicken comes in 2 pieces with a lot of tenderness and juice. The pasta is just like a homecooking style, small portion and simple. The cake is unlike regular retail cake piece. It's not overwhelmingly good. Again, it maybe just a small Italian Mom & Pop eatery with no fancy decorations and menu. The price is reasonable for a small eatery.

The service and friendly staff were great. The steak was very good in appearance and presentation, but it was so tough we had a hard time eating it.
