The most amazing lasagna ragú I have ever had. We had the lasagna, the spaghetti allabbiata and the salmon carpachio. The food has a homey taste, not too pungent, not too light, it really shows what good ingredients brought together properly can bring. Amazing Italian food, delicious.

Loved it! Had fish, lasagna and sausage. You can have half portions, everything is so delicious. Smiling faces and the authentic Tuscan vibe just adds more taste. All the customers seemed like locals.

Incomparable! Friendly service, incredible dishes at the most affordable price in the city. They have several styles of traditional carcofi and their beef tongue was among the most savory and tenderest dishes I have sampled during my travels in Europe. Travel foodies will be pleased with the array of choices from a fresh menu of seasonal picks from the doctor-turned-chef. Many thanks to my travel designer Cherie Martin for recommending this restaurant. My only regret is I didn’t eat here more often during my stay in Florence.
