Service

This little restaurant is a great find. It&rsquo;s a bit off the beaten path, a decent walk away from the center. Super casual. Menu is on a chalkboard. Very clean and cozy space. The service was a bit slow and they didn&rsquo;t open at their listed time. But the food was fantastic and worth the wait. The arancino was fabulous.

Staff were super lovely and friendly right from the beginning, food was very good throughout every course. They were busy and so there was some wait time for our main course - bistecca fiorentina - but they brought us extra potatoes on the house which was very nice of them. Will definitely go back!

The most delicious food. PIZZA! The best tiramisu in town and the sweetest people. This is always our first and last stop in Florence.

We stayed on the property for four night and couldn&rsquo;t help but eat dinner here multiple times. Food is excellent along with the service and ambiance. Highly recommend.

Great little restaurant with loads of atmosphere.  My wife and I between us had tagliolini and truffles, salad caprese, steak florentine for one and the aubergine main.  All were outstanding.  2 nice wines, a Chardonnay and a Chianti rounded off the meal.  Service was very friendly and a special thanks to our lovely young waitress.  Prices were very fairer &euro;22.50 for the steak (which I couldn&rsquo;t finish - it was large).  Highly recommend but you&rsquo;ll need to book.  It was humming on a Saturday night!

This place is a craft beer paradise! With a fantastic selection of Italian beers on tap, it&#39;s a must-visit for any beer lover in Florence.

We had a very pleasant dinner with friends. The grilled roast beef that my partner got, and my steak were both fabulous. I thinks it&rsquo;s good value for money too. Will definitely be back soon!

We ate inside which is our recommendation due to the crowds in Piazza Santa Croce.It was quiet and peaceful. The service was outstanding ( Aldo) and the Bistecca one of the all time best ( we had a &quot; chianina&quot; steak) we have had in our many visits to Florence. This is not a fancy place but rather very homey and comfortable, very welcoming. And although not obvious from the interior, the wine list by the bottle was very good. The location is in a touristy area but we read about the steak here in the Florentine Newsletter where they gave this restaurant a very high rating. We were pleased to see many locals and highly recommend Bisteccheria Santa Croce to the&quot; bistecca fiorentina &quot; experience.

Excellent food served by Michela who was attentive and knowledgable. I had Four lamb  chops grilled and seasoned to perfection.  My wife had veal shank with grilled veggies which put a big smile on her face.   Our waiter recommended the artichoke salad to begin and it was delicious as well.

Good service and the restaurant was willing to find solutions together with the customer in case what you ordered was not available. Good quality of food and perfect outdoor dinning experience during summer.

Great food,  excellent quality, generous portions and well presented.lovely place and friendly service&hellip;Great to have a great restaurant at 3 minutes from home!!!

Love this local pizza place. They do great pizzas with good ingredients and unlike many others, cater to gluten intolerant people like me too. Both food and drinks are fairly priced and service is excellent. Would thoroughly recommend!

The service was good and the wine was just lovely! Food was on point. We have the pasta and the beef. Both were just awesome!

Excellent experience. Only annoyance was crying baby in the  enjoining room, but not the fault of the restaurant. Veal scaloppine and veal ossobocco were very good. Limited choice of wine by the glass but they were good selections.

Always outstanding choices of risotto and other dishes, with creativity and good taste. Thanks again, Jacomo, for the distinguished service!

Promptly seated upon arrival. Great hosts and varied menu. Pasta tasted lovely, Tuscan vegetable soup great, sea bream and pork excellent. Very good experience. May well visit again before leaving Florence.

Food and wine were incredible, the best meal I&rsquo;ve had on multiple trips to Florence. Our waitress had excellent suggestions, which made an already fantastic experience that much better. Highly recommended.

We found this little jewel because we had rented a flat nearby.  Welcome was very warm, food and beer from the tap was excellent. Our waiter was an outstandingly friendly and humourous guy! His poor English and my ten Italian words, combined with many laughs made our orders a challenge for both sides - the reward was an unforgettable culinary trip to Tuscan cuisine at its best. Will definitely come again.

Nice small restaurant out of the center of Firenze. Good and friendly service. Nice food and good price quality balance. We enjoyed the dinner and got a limoncello afterwards

Wonderful neighborhood restaurant with really delicious food and very friendly florentine service.   So glad we dined here

The food at Lo Stravagante is simply outstanding! The homemade pasta is incredibly fresh, and the attention to detail in every dish is evident. A must-try for anyone visiting Florence!

This place is a hidden gem! The truffle tagliata was delicious, and the service provided by Francesco was excellent. I would definitely recommend making a reservation to enjoy this fantastic dining experience.

Service was perfect Food was very good Became something special because of my lactose intolerance A lot of vines to choose the right one I will come back

The restaurant itself is such a comfortable atmosphere. Two small rooms with candles on the tables that provide an intimate feel and the food was incredible. We had a very nice traditional crostini with liver pate and a pasta dish. I ordered a simple fettuccini with bolognese sauce but there was nothing simple about the fettuccini. It was truly as good or better than any pasta I&#39;ve ever tasted - and I&#39;ve been fortunate to spend a great deal of time in Italy. My wife ordered the pear and pecorino ravioli and reported it to be the best pasta dish she&#39;s ever tasted. So, what began as a quiet, smallish meal turned into one of the finest tasting meals of our weeklong stay in Florence. Don&#39;t be fooled by this little unassuming looking place on the Piazza, see for yourself. I couldn&#39;t give a higher recommendation!
