Natalino è una storia che va avanti dal 1880. Mai scontata e mai uguale. Ereditata da 20 anni dalla famiglia Mazzanti, che conserva le ricette della tradizione e ogni giorno porta in tavola i piatti di una volta. Il ristorante è uno dei più antichi di Borgo Albizi, nel centro storico di Firenze. E si trova laddove prima c'era una chiesa sconsacrata. Di cui ancora rimangono piccole e preziosissime testimonianze: diversi affreschi e alcuni capitelli antichi. Tra il pavimento in cotto fiorentino e il soffitto a volte è custodito un vero e proprio scrigno. Grandi tavolate conviviali in legno, sormontate da un tovagliato bianco, si alternano a tavoli più piccoli e riservati. Mentre d'estate il locale si apre all'esterno, sulla piazzetta, con la possibilità di mangiare in uno degli angoli più antichi e pieni di storia di Firenze: un crocevia tra i monumenti più visitati, da Santa Croce a piazza della Signoria.
Dagli antipasti ai dolci, da Natalino il menu parla toscano. Crostini e antipasti misti sono un punto fermo della carta. Dove, a seconda delle stagioni, i funghi lasciano il posto ai carciofi e viceversa. Qui la infatti la stagionalità delle materie prime è un altro ingrediente essenziale. I primi sono un tripudio di paste tipiche: pappardelle, pici e ravioli. Da assaggiare i fiocchini di pere, gorgonzola e pecorino: un piatto della casa. Mentre i secondi sono un elenco di portate della tradizione: l'anatra alla vernaccia, la bistecca, l'ossobuco, la scaloppina, la tagliata e il pollo fritto con le patate. Non mancano le proposte di pesce, come l'inzimino di polpo e carciofi. Si passa poi ai dessert: tutti prodotti in casa, dalla brigata di Natalino. Come il tiramisù, la cheesecake e la torta al cioccolato quasi sempre disponibili. Immancabili i vini, sia rossi che bianchi. Tante le etichette toscane e un'ampia selezione dei migliori vitigni d'Italia.

Fabulous
This is our favourite restaurant in Florence. Really friendly and relaxed atmosphere, delicious food and great people watching spot.
I spent several evenings at Natalino during my lasy stay at Florence. The first dinner was just by chance, because I was just looking for a płace close to my hotel in the kate evening, but they were really very good and I decided to have a next try. I visit Florence every year for many years and have been in many trattorias there, by the way. They work hard, are friendly and food is really good.
love this place will come back always. Fast service & nice people
A great restaurant I highly recommend if you're looking for good food in the city center. Very good menu, delicious food and very kind staff :)!!
It was myself and my partner’s first night in Florence and we could not have asked for a more delicious meal. The ravioli and linguine were so tasty- accompanied by the lovely outdoor dining. It was a perfect evening. I would thoroughly recommend you visit if in Florence.
Amazing food, simple, fresh, authentic pasta. Great Value for central Florence in a lovely local setting. Best tiramisu we’ve had in Italy so far. Can’t wait to come back soon.
A busy restaurant, as many locals as tourists. Quick and efficient service from Dandy. Very good restaurant for beef steak, as you would expect in this city.
Wonderful waitress, delicious food! Atmosphere is charming.
Ottima cucina
We came here on a recommendation from our niece. It was an easy stroll from our hotel. The staff was very attentive, and spoke perfect English while helping us with our selections. They have a rather extensive wine list, with many available either by the glass or by the bottle. We began with the pistachio pesto ravioli, which were delicious. Our main reason, however, for choosing this restaurant was for the Florentine T-Bone. If you prefer your steaks prepared medium or medium well, this is not the place for you. Although the steak was large enough for 2, it was cooked to medium rare, despite our request for medium well. Once we had eaten a little, our waiter offered to cook it a little more, which was much more acceptable for my husband. Looking around, some of the other dishes looked good.
We made a reservation ahead at the recommendation of our hotel. The food was delicious and our waitress was very attentive. Wine was great and they had simple mixed drinks as well.
The best little restaurant. Food was amazing and service was very personal. Great outside seating.
Good diner overall. However, not aligned with the rating (above 9)... so slightly disappointed vs expectations. The staff was welcoming and the atmosphere very typical. So overall a good time with the family... but only okay-ish (not outstanding).
Food, wine, and dessert was all wonderful. Great place for lunch.
Love this restaurant - we ate 2x in a 4 day stay Wonderful service, and fabulous food
Wonderful, friendly service, excellent wines for a fair price (below US for comparable), exceptional foods including appetizers,second courses and main course (large filet mignon at prices well below US). Natalino is a special place run by an excellent family. You will enjoy the experience.
The excellent reviews were correct! This lovely little restaurant was great. The food was some of the best we’ve had in Italy and the service second to none.
Good, atmospheric lunch.
Very nice local restaurant. Greeted promptly with friendly stafff. Excellent service, Nice atmosphere and food. Very enjoyable evening and experience here. Would highly recommend for nice casual family dinner out.
A restaurant that for us, has the best food in Florence. We have travelled here many times and regret that we did not find it sooner. It was late and we had a light dinner of pasta with meat sauce, caprese salad, and a dinner salad that we shared. As simple as the meal was, it still exceeded our expectations and we look forward to trying the other items as well. The staff was very accommodating and gracious without pretensions. Highly recommended.

PARTICOLARE - In pieno centro storico a Firenze, si trova il Ristorante Natalino. Unico nella sua particolarità, dentro una chiesa sconsacrata di cui ancora porta e conserva con gelosia capitelli e affreschi. Un luogo dove si riscopre il piacere di stare a tavola, quel banchettare tra ottimo cibo e un bicchiere di buon vino, come quello toscano, per brindare ai piaceri della vita.
LE PORTATE - Dalla cucina escono i piatti della cara tradizione fiorentina, dove non manca la bistecca fiorentina, la pasta fresca, la carne con i porcini e il coniglio, specialità della casa.
CANTINA - Il locale propone selezioni di vini toscani e non solo, in una ricca carta dei vini.
