TheForkUserWe found this restaurant after reading the reviews on The Fork and it didn’t disappoint. The staff were friendly and attentive, the food was delicious and really affordable and we had a lovely meal : )
TheForkUserGreat place to eat! Our server was exceptional and our food arrived quickly. Awesome staff, tasty food at a good price. One of the best so far this trip. Highly recommended
TheForkUserwonderful great choice highly recommended
TheForkUserExcellent food and atmosphere! We eat dinner here at least twice on every trip to Florence. Marco is an outstanding waiter!
TheForkUserAttentive and helpful service by Pietro. Great food, very nice wine with plenty of choices on the menu. Great view of the river and the beautiful buildings.
TheForkUserIf you want quality food, relaxed environment, and superb service, make a res at il desco!! Off the beaten path, this gem offers amazing steaks, minestrone and pasta with shaved truffle. The house wine is beautiful and prices are reasonable. We Always return and are greeted by familiar wait staff!! ????
TheForkUserFood and service was wonderful - very nicely appointed restaurant; off a lovely square - it is part of a hotel that seemed very nice!One thing that we saw was a young boy being chased out of the restaurant rather severely by the waiter that I wondered about... Until we later learned that children are being used to steal, so I think my friend's purse might have been misappropriated except for the waiter's fast reaction time.
TheForkUserGreat service, loved the bistecca and truffle pasta.Just remember to show the server your discount if you have one so they can apply to the final bill.
TheForkUserArturo and his magnificent staff have done it again! Octopus salad with potatoes was a superb starter. Followed by pici pasta with chianina beef ragu. Full of flavor and cooked to perfection. Some lemon sorbet for dessert. Bravo, La scarpetta!
TheForkUserWe booked this restaurant at very short notice, but the staff were aware of our booking when we arrived and , made us feel very welcome. The young man serving us was so friendly and helpful. Menu was fairly limited but we each enjoyed what we had ordered. Very reasonably priced restaurant with good service and a clean tidy establishment. Would definitely eat her again.
TheForkUserThis is a great spot to eat! This was our second time coming and it was even better than the first time. Definitely visit here to eat if you are in Florence!
TheForkUserThis was our 4th visit to this Restaurant. We have always had good service and food. Good varied menu and deserts! Very attentive staff which you don’t always get in Italy. We will always come again when in Italy!
TheForkUserVery nice restaurant…friendly service, fab dinner….sat outside on a warm Saturday night. Everything was AAA+. Grazie
TheForkUserFood is sooo good!! Loved everything we ate there. Can’t wait to go back. Servers were attentive and friendly. Cute place!
TheForkUserFantastic food and service. My fillet of beef was perfectly steaked, medium rare, and the roasted potatoes with truffle sauce was very tasty. My wife had the best pasta she ever tasted (with garlic oil, burrata and chili pepper). Best food so far in Florence.
TheForkUserIt was the first time we’d eaten Pinsa and we really enjoyed them. Being able to choose dessert from the pasticceria was a bonus. All the staff were really friendly and efficient. We found the restaurant too light for our taste although not uncommon in Florence.
TheForkUserGreat restaurant with a lovely view of Duomo. We had the Florentine Steak with sides - all delicious. The waiters were pleasant and accommodating. We had an excellent meal and a very enjoyable evening.
TheForkUserThis restaurant is so well organized and such a georgeous ancient walls and ceiling , worth eating high quality meat and worth Beeing entertained by empathetic staff , the head butler Luca is so well educated and professional , service is fast and friendly , I will definitely come back very soon
TheForkUserWhat a gem of a find. I booked Gilda thinking it was another restaurant that was recommended to me, but I’m glad I made the mistake. Gilda is very rustic, operated by a family and the food was amazing. Fresh, wholesome Florentine, creative food. The decor is rustic eclectic and my friend and I were the only tourists. The rest of the diners were local business people. We will definitely go back.
_TI***cyThis café has a charming atmosphere with cozy vibes and beautifully made coffee. It's a perfect stop in the heart of Florence, and Tomas provided amazing service!
TheForkUserGreat service leading to the best roast pork I’ve ever eaten, nice wine, and very reasonable bill. Thanks for a very pleasant evening.
TheForkUserRicardo was so patient and friendly while helping us choose our meals and drinks. The restaurant is lovely and the food is amazing. We dined twice during our stay in Florence - favorites were the formatino, lasagne sorrentina, and the tagliatelle ragu! Don't forget to order cheesecake or tiramisu ❤️
TheForkUserThe owner is warm, friendly, and a phenomenal host. We enjoyed it so much that we came back again and if we had time, we would come back again and again! The food is authentic Italian and delicious!!
TheForkUserSecond visit, equally wonderful. Set in Fiesole centre with tables outside, a very nice experience. Food was very good and just like the pictures shown on other posts, with ingredients locally sourced right down to the honey. Stuffed peppers were not what we expected and a pleasant surprise with tastes of Thailand. Cold tomato soup again a surprise, it's shrimp with diced fruits in a little tomato juice, very refreshing. Pork medallions soft and gently cooked with a nice honey sauce was delicate flavours.Bit disappointed with the steak not peppery as advertised, but cooked nice wirh a good char, potatoes were great. The agnolotti was a beautiful, yellow tomato sauce and stuffed with tuscan sausage, a must. The most unexpected carrot cake, a delight.Staff very nice, very helpful, seats a bit uncomfortable, on 2nd visit enjoyed comfy seats inside.
TheForkUserthe food quality is outstanding, Service top and the wine selection second to none. thank you for making this birthday lunch for my wife a memorable one
