Nice restaurant. Pasta was amazing. Black bun with raw tuna was perfect. Tuna melted in mouth. Bartender Francis deserves a special thanks. A fun guy with classy mustache was a star for our toddler. He even gave plastic glass for baby to look cooler when drinking water😂
Also this restaurant has a wine window, though we had lunch inside🙂

Lovely atmosphere. I loved drinking the sparkling red wine. We also ordered some delicious small plates to snack on, whilst waiting for our dinner reservation elsewhere. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.

Great service. The staff are so chill, friendly and accommodating! I love it here. It’s got a younger vibe. We had brunch and we usually don’t repeat restaurants so we can try more places but we’re coming back for dinner service.

It used to be a great place to eat, but with the whole American obsession over the wine window they kinda transformed into a restaurant where locals wouldn't come to eat. We are locals.we ordered 3 plates. Let's start with the cheese plate, which was to share, costed 16 euros and had 6 small pieces of cheese, 2 figs and two sticks of tiny mozzarellas with tomatoes. Check the photo, it was a very small plate compared to pretty much any restaurant  in Florence. Cheese was good. The size was tiny, value for money is bad - I give it 3 stars. Then the pork ribs plate, cost 20 euros -  the price is what you normally pay for lamb or beef in Florence, but the ribs were good, so I give it 4 starts. And then we had a very sad experience with the tuna plate y 22€.  It wasn't fresh, it left a really bad taste in the mouth, both of us tried it and it was really bad. We told the waitress about it, she took away the plate to the kitchen and returned without the plate to tell us that the tuna was fresh instead. Like wtf? It wasn't. But whatever, there was hummus, veggies, potatoes and bread on the plate that she took away and it never returned to the table leaving my friend hungry. We then got out to smoke a cigarette, told the waitress we'll be outside, within a minute they took our glasses and water away, and let others sit at our table. We returned and had to tell them that out table was taken and drinks were gone. Then we went to the counter and paid in full for a Saturday night dinner 30€ per person, where one of us literally had 3 pieces of cheese and a slice of really bad tuna. Terrible experience.

Found the place just by walking by. Looked in and both the staff and the atmosphere looked chill. And it certainly was in the best possible way. Been there twice allready on our 10 day Florence stay, and will definitely be back. They have a buzy and great wine-window, but you should really go inside and try their great wine and food selection. The food has the perfect mix between authentic homemade feel and artisinal experimental perfection. And the staff really know how to pair wine and food. Had two amazing meals there allready, can't wait for the third.
