Their classic T-bone steak is indeed crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, but it just makes me feel like I'm eating raw meat. They should have taken pictures of the cut meat. Although the surface looks cooked, it's actually raw inside. If there are tendons, it's hard to chew. I can only say that raw meat is not suitable for patients. If you like to eat raw meat, you can eat more steak. I feel that the steaks here are all in this style. Black truffle pasta is delicious. I like it very much. It's the kind with a strong creamy flavor. Creamy mushroom risotto, I also like it. I especially like the risotto made here. I feel that it will never disappoint [good]
The restaurant is very large, consisting of outdoor and indoor rooms of different sizes, and the decoration is very warm. We ordered a T-bone steak and lobster noodles. The steak was cooked to medium rare, which is their specialty. The lobster noodles were cooked in the traditional hard-core way and were delicious.

I've always heard that the steak in Florence is very good. My friend also recommended this restaurant to me. Sure enough, the environment is nice and the taste is great! The steak is medium rare and the tenderness is just right. The tomato-flavored pasta and garlic baguette are also a must. The taste is really authentic!
I went to Florence for a trip before I got pregnant, but I never had time to comment. Now that I've come across this restaurant, it brings back a lot of memories! I went to this restaurant when I was planning to go there before the trip. It has a very good reputation and is a well-known steak restaurant in the area! The "T-bone steak" is so delicious, my husband loves it! I especially like the "lobster noodles", which are the dishes with the highest click rate! I hope I'll have the opportunity to go there again in the future, and I recommend this restaurant to all my friends who go there

Mainly around the tourist attractions, there is no difference between Italy and China, they will cheat if they can, it is obviously just a fast food pizza restaurant, the sign at the door does not indicate the service charge, when it is time to pay, the waiter will point to a line of words under the menu that you can't even read with a magnifying glass and tell you that a service charge of 2 euros per person will be charged. You should know that in Rome, eating this level of fast food pizza from his place will cost 6 euros for twice the amount of his place, next to the Florence Cathedral, I advise tourists to stay away

This restaurant is amazing! Ate there 2 years ago and was excited to go back again and have it be just as wonderful! Food was amazing and the wine recommendation was perfect! The staff is fantastic! Highly recommend the florentine steak!
Our experience here was nothing less of amazing! The food, specifically the steak, was out of this world. Hands down the best steak I’ve had. The waiters were very helpful to us with understanding the menu and even gave us good wine recommendations. We ended our dine with complimentary limoncellos and I must say this Italian restaurant owes me nothing! 10’s across the board!

A fancy restaurant with classic Italian meal!
I had a Stinco arrosto di maiale con patate, the size is more than I expected! The flavour is just right for me, the potatoes are well seasoned. The only thing is you need to have enough time for this restaurant, from you go into the restaurant, sit down, order and the food arrive, it took me around 45 minutes, I understand traditional Italian are in a slower pace, if you are travelling and visit traditional Italian restaurants, reminded to plan enough time for every meal, so you won’t be in a rush for your next location!
Overall this is a good experience!

I went to Trattoria Mario, which is only open for lunch near my accommodation, as recommended in the guidebook. It is a small room, and you need to set up a table. There is no set menu, so I ordered the local specialty Bistecca alla Disossata, which is a grilled Florentine steak, boneless. In fact, everyone ordered T-bone steak, but a 21kg portion costs 35 euros, and I don’t have money. This one is only 12 euros, plus a glass of red wine, the bill is 14 euros! Very satisfied!
There weren't many people eating at noon, so I didn't order steak. I ordered two main dishes. Bread before the meal is a must because the service charge is per person. The bread is very chewy, but it's a pity that there is no butter. The seafood pasta is delicious. The mussels are very delicious.
