wonderful food here. It’s tucked away in a corner and a little hard to find but definitely a gem. Loved every part of the meal. The one complaint I had was that our waiter didn’t seem too friendly. Really enjoyed the rabbit.

A great meal! How could it not be as the two owners are there with a watchful eye. Fantastic pasta dishes, wine and secundi. Truly unique antipastas. I loved Thai place.

Best meal ever! I wish I was here longer to try everything on menu. I recommend everyone to try one plate here. Staff was great and chefs were awesome! Can’t wait to go back

We are here last night, our first night in Florence. Wow, such a nice restaurant right in the heart of the city. We are staying in their B&B upstairs, so proximity is awesome. The room by the way is also a find, for another review on where to stay. We started with a really nice glass of Prosecco and their starter of chicken liver pâté, very good. I had the creamy eggplant sauced pasta as my first course, absolutely delicious. The crispy fried eggplant skin on top was a nice accompaniment. My main was the branzino fish, perfectly cooked, was excellent. My husband started with the red meat sauce rigatoni, such a robust sauce, perfect pasta. His main was the meatballs, very good, but wasn’t a favorite. The meal, atmosphere, service all excellent. I highly recommend this restaurant when in Florence. Doesn’t have the touristy feel the other restaurants around here have. The only suggestion is either come hungry or share some of the courses, a lot of food, portions are very generous. With the affordable wine list, this makes for a great night.

I had a very delicious meal and some nice wine but it seems that service was a little slow. Things just took longer and I felt like the idea of getting a check promptly was new. I do admit that most people were happy and the outside seating is beautiful on a nice night like tonight.

Fantastic food right near the Duomo. We had squash blossoms stuffed with ricotta in beer sauce for antipasto and it was lovely. The fresh pasta is from another planet. Service was great.

We ate there twice on s recent 10 day stay in Florence. Need I say more! My husband had the osso buco and sea bass. I had thinly sliced veal and potatoes and good pasta. The salads were wonderful. We received better service the night we ate inside.

Perhaps the finest meal of my life. On January 1st we started with zucchini flowers. Unbelievably light and delicate. Pici chinghiale, ossobucco, and a rucola salad with parmasean. The wine list is outstanding… the atmosphere perfect… the owners treat you like locals and everything is perfect! The two of us ate and drank for 109 euros! Best meal in a two week trip to Italy!

Stumbled upon this gem for brunch after visiting Santa Maria Church. The restaurant has a covered outdoor patio which we dined under. The food is Tuscan and this was my first dinning experience in Florence. We started off with red wine and fresh warm bread. I then opted for the mixed appetizer plate which included deep fried local cheese, carpaccio and veggie strudel topped with black cabbage sauce. Second course was fresh pasta with locally picked porcini mushrooms. I was craving protein and picked the DOP pork chop — locally raised — this is the best chop I’ve ever experienced, tender and so juicy! We ended our excellent meal with mille strawberry dessert. The service was superb — the owner’s daughter explained each entrée and was so sweet. This was at the top of my list of dinning experiences in Italy.

Il Caminetto is my all time favourite Italian restaurant and in four short trips to Florence I’ve managed to eat there five times, most recently this May! I originally discovered Il Caminetto from a dear Italian friend who lives in Parma(the food capital of Italy, one day I’ll get there) and always eats at Il Caminetto on every visit to Florence. It was at Il Caminetto May 2005 that I discovered the traditional Tuscan dish: Tagliata di manzo con la rucola(beef steak with rocket), this is a man’s version of carpaccio really!!! Large slices of amazing flavoursome beef combining with rocket and parmesan cheese. Very generous portions and delicious fresh food with homemade pastas and gnocchi to die for. This isn’t a cheap restaurant but is an absolute must to eat in for visitors to Florence.
