La Bistecca - Osteria Fiorentina

We were made very welcome and the waiter spoke excellent English which helped us. He provided good advice on food and wine. We enjoyed a really relaxed meal on our last night in Florence.

Lovely location, great service. Excellent menu choice and fabulous wine.

Delicious food. Great location. Reasonable price.

Carne squisita, proprietario molto disponibile

Waiters didn't wear a mask and there was no 2 meters distance between the tables, a complete No-Go.

Mai più - never again - nooit meer We are frequent visitors of Firenze and we can testify of the warm and friendly hospitality of the fiorentini. The experience with this relatvely new restaurant was dreadful and far away from any courtesy. We went for a 'filetto chianino', theoretically the best meat possible. Unfortunately what we received on our plates was far away from the quality we experienced over again in other restaurants in Firenze. The 'filet' was full of tendons and nerves, On top of that the waiters and head waiter went on the defensive and claimed that it was normal for a filet to have 'some' tendons and nerve, We were literally presented with the bill without even having the chance of ordering dessert.

Do not hesitate to book. Made our last night in florence amazing. Really topped it off. Food, service and atmosphere were that of a 5 star restaurant. Authentic and very reasonable. Would recommend the beef stew

Lovely food surprisingly good value for such a central tourist site very helpful pleasant staff

Ottimo!

Amazing Fiorentina Bistecca and very nice Service. Atmosphere in the outside atrium was a bit lacking but likely because of the time of year... don’t let this put you off... the Food was spectacular!!

Great steaks, authentic wood fired cooking fiorentina style with bits of char, smell, fatty bits and the like.

The service was very slow

Great service. And with great i mean honest, helpful and every now and then a joke. The food was also great. First we ordered the clams then the ‘Kobe’ steak. Clams were great, took out the last of the sauce with bread. The steak itself was amazing. I live my meat rare, almost raw. Not an easy task, but they did it. I even picked the bone clean. Kudos!

It was great! Super value for money, especially taking into consideration the location. Staff are great and the pizza was phenomenal

Great restaurant. Steak was one of the best I've ever had. Service was a little slow but the wait staff was friendly and entertaining. The location is great, right on the plaza near the merry-go-round and there were street musicians playing the entire night. Highly recommend.

We had the IGP rib eye and it was a bit too lean for our liking. I ordered mid rare and it came exactly that. The Tuscan stew and truffle pasta were really good and the pasta was perfectly Al dente. The grilled vegetables were also very good. Overall, a good dinner to end our Italy trip.

Pasta was good, but the not the best we’ve had in Italy. Wine was delicious. Waiter was very friendly. Remember, if you make the effort to say a few words in Italian, the waitstaff will be significantly nicer to you!

We chose the restaurant for the location -which was close to our rental apartment. Wanted somewhere close by for an 'early' dinner after an overnight flight and a day of travel to Florence. The location was great and in the middle of the lovely Piazza della Repubblicaia. Even though we were tired, we loved the atmosphere: the view of the piazza, the carousel, the arches, and the live musician in the piazza. A great start to welcome us to Florence. The pasta and wine were good. Service was a bit stiff at first. But as we were friendly and they instantly became very friendly to us. Afterwards we spent time in the piazza taking in all the sights and sounds. Our meal at La Bistecca was a wonderful welcome to Florence.

The restaurant was easy to find. The staff greeted us by name without needing to identify our reservation. The staff are very friendly when serving you. The bistecca was lovely and tender and the pasta was nice. The restaurant was very busy so it took a little bit of time to get the bill at the end and occasional delays getting the staff to assist during the meal. Overall a very nice meal in a touristy part of town. Definitely not for a quiet romantic dinner but suitable for a louder group. Thank you.

Real nice food and great staff!
