About the restaurant L'Osteria di Giovanni

GREAT RECEPTION - The restaurant L'Osteria di Giovanni is located in the heart of Florence, near the Piazza di Santa Maria Novella. It offers an environment with a rustic, characteristic furniture, embellished by a warm, friendly and always very relaxing.

REGIONAL CUISINE - The restaurant's menu is full of typical Tuscan specialities, with a prevalence of meat dishes. There is no lack fish courses, prepared based on the daily availability. Very good the homemade desserts, such as the pistachio parfait.

DISHES TO TRY - Do not miss the ribollita, pici with sausage and cabbage sauce, sliced beef with porcini mushrooms sautéed and milk-fed veal ossobuco with potatoes.

How to get to the restaurant L'Osteria di Giovanni

How to get there?

  • Public transports
    We are very close to the main station square (Piazza della Stazione) so all buses and trains that go via that square are good!
  • Specific directions to get there
    L'Osteria di Giovanni lies in a very narrow side street that runs from Piazza Santa Maria Novella right the way down to the Arno River. It's just one car wide and has tiny sidewalks - don't be discouraged! We are on the left hand side as you walk towards
  • Car park We strongly advise that you don't bring a car. Public transport or a taxi are much the best options. If you do bring a car, a private car park or the station car park are your best options. Legal street parking is impossible!

So worth the 20 minute walk from our accommodation. Terrific all around. Excellent value, left extremely full and super happy. Delicious house wine, at a fair price. The ribollita was fantastic, the caprese with burrata and artichokes - so delicious. Love the finale with house made sorbetto and biscotti. Would love to experience this again one day.

We had four days in florence. The first day we walked in for the first time just to try our luck. Because the restaurant has a very good rating so we thought that we gave a go since we were very close by. We were lucky to have a table, but in front of the toilet because we didn't have a reservation. It didn't become an issue when the food was put on the table, they were so delicious. We couldn't finish our second course because the portion of their food were so generous. However, we went back again for late lunch two days later because they are so good. Ordered different course, still so delicious. This time we managed to reserve appetite for the dessert. The Tiramisu was the best I have had ever eaten. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. I strongly recommend to try this place when you are in Florence.

Our dinner at L'Osteria di Giovanni was wonderful. We were there two years ago and it was great then also. Giovanni personally and all his staff were welcoming, professional and very accommodating to my wife's gluten sensitivity. The menu was creative as well as offering more familiar items to interest all food tastes. Even though the restaurant and staff were very busy you always get the feeling that they appreciate your business and it seems most everyone else felt the same as there were happy faces and laughter everywhere. Highly recommend but best to make a reservation.

If you're in a group, I suggest you order at least a dish from each section and just share. The portions are big enough and everyone gets to try a little bit of everything. Lastly, order the bistecca if you can. It took my sister, brother and I about 30 minutes to finish a 1.5 kg (52 oz) steak. It was delicious and highly recommended.
