Food and service was great! Price is decent and table wine is very good. Hidden in alley, but worth seeking out. Trip advisor ranked this place highly, surprised there aren’t more Unilocal reviews.

Just finished the nearly perfect Italian meal! This would have been a five star review but for one fault, which we will save for the end.
We started by sharing the pear and pecorino salad with honey and walnuts. For anyone accustomed to shavings of cheese on their salad, be assured that this is shareable by virtue of the hunks of cheese and generous amount of pear. Add a little of the supplied vinegar and oil to balance the honey.
We followed with a shared primi piatti of spaghetti with lemon cream sauce and dill, which was perfectly al dente and perfectly balanced — the cream accented with the lemon, and the lemon softened by the dill.
For secondi we both ordered the shrimp in a tomato cognac sauce, which was unbelievably delicious. The shrimp are served whole, in the shell, as is customary here, under a robust, dense but ever-​so-​slightly sweet sauce. The shrimp are not pre-​sliced in any, so part of the enjoyment is getting a little messy as you free your meal from its natural container.
We finished with a very respectable panna cotta and a seasonal chestnut budino.
The drag on the rating is the dining room, which is downstairs and windowless. This would not be a problem but for the slight mustiness that was a little difficult to overlook (oversmell?). Nonetheless, service was warm, the meal was paced well, the food was just about perfect, and we are anxious to return to what seems to be a truly local joint in a city that can be overrun by turista enterprises.

A great restaurant tucked away in an alley near Piazza Della Signoria and Ponte Vecchio. Don’t be fooled by the tourist-​heavy location: this place is awesome! I had the gnocchi with creamy pesto sauce. Divine! The gnocchi was light with just enough bite and the sauce… What can I say about a creamy pesto with the perfect amount of garlic that doesn’t say it for itself? It was amazing. Finished the whole plate, which I never do because gnocchi tends to be heavy — this was not. That and great service make a combination that’s hard to beat! Also note their table wine is great!

Great little restaurant although you can hardly tell from the outside. The restaurant itself has outdoor seating but there is also an inside part underground. Food is authentic and excellent. The limoncello after is a perfect finish…

One of the best restaurant I’ve ever been to. Salvatore served us and he was an amazing server. The food is amazing. It was worth every euro spent. Congratulations on such a successful place.

This place is tucked away off the Main Street, about two blocks north from the Ponte Vecchio. We met some friend we hadn’t see in a long while and had dinner. The hospitality at this place was very warm. The food was fresh. I had ravioli stuffed with porcini mushrooms and a bruschetta starter. All the food was fresh. There were no complaints fromanyof us. Even with bottle of wine the bill for 4 with starters and entres and tip, was less than $ 100 euros.
