We went on the recommendation from our hotel. Nice restaurant with good food and wine. Service was very good as well. Nice waitress. They know how to treat tourists and do it with elegance. We asked them to pair the wine with the food we ordered and it was nice. That gave us the opportunity to try several of their... More

Had the pasta tagliati with butter, bacon and black pepper delicious. The steak was OK. Great wine list so if you are into wine a great place to dine. A little pricey but decent.

I cam upon this restaurant after reading in a travel book that this restaurant had been making their own wine for over 700 years. Believing practice makes perfect we head over for wine and dinner. My wife and I chose different wines for variety since they had the largest selection we have seen "by the glass". (Many locations expect you... More

We hadn't booked a table but managed to get seated in this very busy restaurant. The wine selection was extensive. Service was generally good. The food was good if not the best we tasted in Florence. My wife sent her steak back as she'd asked for medium rare and it was cooked medium, although this was replaced without hesitation. Overall... More

All around great experience! The food was outstanding, the service first rate, and the atmosphere fun without being loud or intrusive. It was our anniversary and we could not have selected a better place to celebrate. Highly recommend you visit while in Florence!!

Couldn't decide on what to have as there was so much to choose from and in stepped Primo who after listening to my likes and dislikes came up with the perferct combination of food and wine for each course.

We visited on my wife's birthday having noticed it was full previously when we passed by. It was closed the day before so we had no reservation. When we arrived it was virtually empty, but within a half and hour it was packed. The staff are very friendly, speak good English, my wife's Sea Bass was perfectly cooked and subsequently... More

Just happen to walk by the Frescobaldi , looking for a place to have our dinner, and got the only empty table outside. Took a couple of minutes for me to get used to the outside seating. The young lady who served us was friendly and very helpful. Excellent wine and totally delicious food... Knuckle of pork with braised radicchio,... More

The fresh pasta with black truffles, artichoke risotto, and grilled sea bass were delicious! Service was below expectations given that only a few tables were filled at the late lunch time. We ordered water one still and one with gas- received two still. We had to ask the waitress on two different times to get water with gas, Had to... More

For somewhere close to the tourist action (just off Piazza della Signorina), this place offers great food and an excellent selection of Tuscan and other wines. We ate here for dinner, came back for wine with a group of colleagues from a conference and returned later for lunch. Primo, the wine waiter, was very knowledgeable and guided us towards some...
