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!

After a great but large anti pasti of chickpea pure and schrimps I had an excellent tuna with pistaccio nuts - but with all the delicious bread and contorni I had no room for dessert.... So I guess I'm saying the portion sizes are very big. Have to come back????

The service was amazing. We were well treated. The food was delicious. The veal chop was excellent, the pasta with truffles was very good and the piccione dish very, very good. Grazie mille Giovanni. It was a pleasure to meet you and your restaurant.

I am a regular visitor to Giovanni’s and it never disappoints. The menu is never changing but the I never want it to change. The pici and savage ragu starter is fabulous. The sirloin steak with porcine mushrooms is as good as I could imagine it could ever be.
The staff are wonderful and there are plenty of them which, these days, is a rarity.
The place itself could do with a lick of paint. It is like taking a trip back to the 50’s or 60’s, but that could be said about many places in Florence.
Overall, a very satisfactory lunch.

We were there for lunch. Excellent service, starters, pasta and main course (stuffed Rabbit) were all excellent. The desserts while nice were not similarly exceptional. Must visit place.

The Tuscany-styles steak was grilled as medium rare which offers the juicy, tender flavor, the use of the parsley is the awesome additives. The burrata cheese served in the antipasti was not as good as what I imagine, but overall experience deserves a 4.5-Star rating.
