Zio Gigi In Firenze

You shouldn't stop at the sight of the place, but at the friendliness of the manager and the food served....... Excellent Greetings from grandfather Gigi from Belluno

Excellent welcome from Uncle Gigi and his staff, excellent food, we will definitely return next time we are in Florence

Trattoria tipica nel centro di Firenze, di fronte alla chiesa di santa Maria Nuova. Locale informale, menú toscano, ma anche con piatti calabresi. Ottimi e vari i primi, oggi abbiamo preso delle ottime penne al ragù bianco con tartufo, porzioni abbondanti per tutti i piatti. Servizio celere e cordiale, allietato dalle canzoni del simpatico zio Gigi. Rapporto qualità prezzo ottimo, probabilmente il migliore di Firenze. Super consigliato

Came here for dinner since it’s a short walk from our place and avoid from touristy areas. The one thing that I enjoy about Italy is the architectural of their buildings. I like the high ceilings, exposed woods and bricks. This restaurant has it all. Food: we ordered the fresh pasta with wild boar, pasta with porcini mushrooms, spaghetti with meat sauce, 1 kilo of aged Florentine T-Bone steak, grilled eggplant, and roasted baby potatoes. Good: the streak lived up to its name. Tender and the flavors were well-developed from the aging process. The fresh pasta has good texture. Grilled eggplant was creamy with a hint of sweetness. The mini potatoes were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside (really well made). What I didn’t like: the pasta and spaghetti sauce was aggressively seasoned with salt and/or too sour for my preference. The waitress was courteous and patiently waited while we navigated the Italian menu. The owner was friendly to us and strike up conversations with all of the costumers. I would’ve love to talk Italian food with him has I spoke Italian well.

Lovely welcome, delicious dishes, exquisite wines, an unforgettable experience in Florence

Traditional Florence restaurant, behind the Duomo. Very good homemade food and at a good price. A fact Uncle Zio Gigi will assist you singing😍🎶

A good place, good food but fairly average service, especially if it gets close to 2:30 p.m. and Italian is not spoken.

La dama más dulce del mundo nos cuidó. Tenía el pelo rubio. Ella inmediatamente nos hizo sentir como familia y tan bienvenido. Ojalá pudiera recordar su nombre. No hablaba inglés, pero era fácil de entender. Ella nos dio excelentes recomendaciones! Mi marido tenía el bistec ala florentina y yo el pici marinara con albóndigas. Desafortunadamente, he estado experimentando problemas estomacales durante esta visita a Italia, así que me enfermé mucho por todo el delicioso vino que hemos estado tomando. Lamentable y vergonzosamente tuve que salir a la calle donde me enfermé, y cuando volví estaba llorando porque estaba tan frustrada que no he podido mantener toda esta deliciosa comida italiana que hemos estado tomando sin enfermarme. Esta increíble dama, Dios la bendiga, me secó las lágrimas, me abrazó y me dio un beso en la mejilla. Ella me trajo un poco de Sprite para ayudar a asentar mi estómago y fue tan increíblemente amable. Ojalá pudiera volver para agradecerle. La comida era excepcional y auténtica cocina y mi marido y yo estábamos disfrutando mucho. Nos gustaría volver aquí de nuevo! Grazie mile Signora. Fuiste un ángel y estamos muy agradecidos por tu amabilidad, tu atención y tu hospitalidad. 💚🤍❤️ 🙏🏻

Gigi and Alba make this place lively. Their place is always packed with locals, a clear sign of good food. The dishes did not disappoint. And the price is cheaper than most restaurants in the historic centre. You will hear Gigi sing while serving customers if you are lucky. I recommend this place if you are looking for good food in the centre of the city without breaking the bank.

Love this restaurant been going there over 25years this is a must stop in Florence I will be back at the end of the week and looking forward to seeing and hearing Gigi.
