We went here because it was super close to our airBnB and we were pleasantly surprised! For an appetizer we had the salon tartare, then for main a pizza and a cacio e pepe - this one i cannot recommend enough. So creamy and flavorful. For dessert the pistachio cannoli is incredible. Service is great as well, in the end we paid around 40 per person including a bottle of wine.

Despite the slightly lower ratings on Google, we came here on the recommendation of our AirBnB host.

It was our best dinner in Firenze. The food was good. The staff that served us was wonderful. The lighting and the atmosphere was great.

They had a good collection of wines on the menu and were knowledgeable about them as well.

The portion for the dessert was a bit too small and I would say that the pricing was maybe 10-20% more than what it should be.

They do have a great location. Slightly secluded and away from the hustle bustle. Just the right kind for a lovely dinner.

The place is rated as one of the top 50 pizzeria to go to in Italy.
The overall experience was great. As far as service and quality of the food goes, it was great. But I wouldn’t say that it was an incredible experience and that the pizza was unique. Still a great pizza to try.
