Amazing experience.
A hidden gem on a side villa. The T-bone steak was the best I ever had. The ravioli was as fresh as it comes. The service was perfect and the room was warm and inviting. I loved this place.

Natalie the hostess was amazing beyond words!! Very attentive and helpful!! She made us feel like family!! The food and ambiance superb!! I'm so glad we got reservations in advance!! We're definitely going back when we visit Italy again!!
Be the first to ReplyThe food was amazing.
I removed a star due to seating. Our table was very close to another table basically touching another table. At one point, I had to stand up to let other guests to get to their table. They do bring around a complimentary appetizer. The homemade ravioli was absolutely delicious. The stealer of the show was the Fiorentina T-bone steak. Hands down would return to have the steak again!! We also ordered fried artichokes and friend zucchini but should skipped these. Our eyes were way bigger than our stomachs.

Fell in love with Florence and fell in love with this restaurant. The staff, the food and the ambiance were incredible. We loved it so much we went back twice and there is not one dish that ate that we didn't love. We will be back.

A fabulous lunch! Great variety of salads and sandwiches with a beautiful outdoor seating area. The bread is the best!

We saved the best restaurant for our last day of vacation 1/4/24. The dinner was great and we really wanted dessert also, but after a very long wait we finally just got up and walked towards the door to ask for our check.

.. wow! GET RESERVATIONS! We did not have a reservation and Matilda said we could wait and she would do the best she could to get us seated (which rarely happens). 45 minutes later they squeezed us into a great spot... and the food was over the top! It started with a visit from Sahin who shared the menu choices and served us some Preseco and bruschetta appetizers. We finally got our meal of spinach ravioli and steak. It was credible! We finished the night with Isabella offering us some choices for dessert and had probably the best tiramisu we have ever had! This is a must visit location! At the end of the evening we shared a few laughs with the owner and ended the night feeling better than when we walked in the door... Thank you again! Matilda, sahin Isabella
Be the first to ReplyEverything about La Giostra was a 10/10.
My boyfriend and I went here when I was studying abroad in Florence and it was the best meal we've ever had and amazing service. The waiter was really great and accommodating and strongly suggested the pear ravioli, which I'd had other places in Florence, but nothing was quite like this one. Inside the place was also very nice and the steak we had was genuinely unforgettable. Highly recommend!
Be the first to ReplyFood was impeccable.
Service was nonexistent. Server never checked back. Any support staff never checked, we always had to flag them down. My first cocktail was never cleared, we had no olive oil on the table, when flatware was changed it was carelessly placed, unfortunately i would categorize it as a tourist trap.... The exact opposite of what was expected. The decor is intimate, the space is intimate, yet there was no service. A fine dining cafeteria at best, and it breaks my heart to write these words.
Be the first to ReplyOne of my favorite places to dine in Florence.
Excellent food and service. Great atmosphere. The owner Soldano is very gracious. Highly recommend dining here. I will be back every time I come to town.

Be the first to ReplyWent to this place with my family, heard so many good
Went to this place with my family, heard so many good things about it from others and that it's their favorite restaurant in Florence. I was very surprised to find a piece of steel wool mixed in with my carbonara pasta! Not only this but the waitress refused to take this pasta off of my bill, 22€ out of a 280€ check. All the food at this place can be found for much cheaper all around florence along with better quality, quantity, and service
Be the first to ReplyLa Giostra is probably one of the most famous restaurants
La Giostra is probably one of the most famous restaurants in Florence so I absolutely had to try it. Pictures of celebrities with the owner all over the walls. It did not disappoint!Service was very friendly. We were sat immediately for a 9:15 reservation. Lights are hung up every where and most waitstaff were multi-lingual and answered questions from other tables.We received a free antipasti with chicken pate and bruschetta. So good! For our main course we had the Florentine Steak (1 kg) and a Penne Sentarino. Thes steak was perfectly seasoned and melted in your mouth--don't usually order my steak rare but it was great! We finished off with two on the house lemonciellos.I would recommend this a must-stop if you're looking for at least one nice dinner while visiting Florence!
Be the first to ReplyLucky enough to get a reservation here on a beautiful
Lucky enough to get a reservation here on a beautiful night, and boy did this place live up to expectations. The ambiance was wonderful, with stellar lighting and romantic brick arches. I personally loved the photos of celebrities that lined the walls. Each table is provided with a wonderful complementary antipasto course, which was an extremely pleasant surprise. I had to try the pear ravioli (which came highly suggested online), and it exceeded all expectations. The rest of the meal was lovely as well, and overall I had a phenomenal dining experience. I definitely suggest this spot if you're ever in Florence!
Be the first to ReplyI honestly didn't think I would need a reservation but once
I honestly didn't think I would need a reservation but once I got there it was really busy. There was only one party waiting before us and right when we walked in we were not acknowledged by anyone. 20 minutes passed and we asked how long the wait time was and the waiter asked if we had a reservation which we said no so he said we mind as well come close to closing time because its busy. It was 7pm but he told us to go at 10pm. I understand I should have made a reservation but I honestly felt discriminated since I wasn't acknowledged at the door or at least asked if we had a reservation. I found this to be very rude and unprofessional and went to a place where the food was just as good and the staff was polite and attentive. Glad I did not spend my time and money here.
Best meal we had in Italy! The pear ravioli was outstanding.
Service was impeccable and loved meeting the owner!
Be the first to ReplyThe atmosphere is great, but I think it's a little
The atmosphere is great, but I think it's a little over-hyped. We were in Italy for three weeks and had many meals that were much cheaper and just as good- often better- than here.
Be the first to ReplyWe had a great dinner here.
The atmosphere is intimate and the lighting and restaurant are very romantic. The restaurant offered a welcome glass of Prosecco and delicious bruschetta. Our meal was 5 stars but our server Paola elevated our experience and we wish would could rate it an additional star for her welcoming and helpful service. We'll make sure to come back on out next trip.
Be the first to ReplyWent here for dinner on our honeymoon.
The ambiance was my absolute favorite part of the night. So romantic with the string lights and brick arches. The tables are a little tight and cramped for servers to pass but nevertheless we enjoyed the night. My favorite meal was the beef carpaccio starter! My husband got shrimp scampi and I got bolognese which was good. The wine was delicious. And the cheesecake was heavenly. Would definitely recommend this place to others

..the perfect dinner in Florence! Great staff, menu and ambiance! Love it here!!
Be the first to ReplyReally cute restaurant with great service.
Super cozy & romantic. Must get the tiramisu!!!!
Be the first to ReplyAmazing restaurant!! I came for the 2nd time last week.
2 major cons I had was that I made the reservation in April and couldn't get earlier than 9:30 and I was seated by the bathroom. Make reservations asap!! The pear ravioli melted in your mouth and the Florentine steak was amazing too!! It's a hotspot in Florence!!
Be the first to ReplyI waited two years to try this restaurant after our first
I waited two years to try this restaurant after our first trip to Florence was cancelled due to Covid. I left so sad and so disappointed. The entire menu is in Italian which seems charming until you ask the waiter for minimal guidance and you are greeted with a special kind of patronizing attitude. The kind where you get the partial smile that stops, the bare minimum answer and the look just daring you to ask something... anything more. (For the record, the Tagliatelle Taolmina has different names, depending on the menu you receive. My husband got one, I got the other. I simply asked which dish was the correct one to order.) I travel to Europe very frequently for business and have eaten in hundreds of restaurants throughout my travels, most of which require a bit of navigation as I am American and English is my first language. There really aren't words for the tag-team, swapping waiters, patronizing aura and average salads/pasta this place serves up. If steak is what you're looking for, give it a try. Maybe the waiters will be nice to you and/or the meal will be worth the attitude. If pasta is what you crave, I would definitely put this on your skip list. I often find yelp to be so accurate and am truly baffled by "the best food in Italy" reviews. My recommendation: for a delicious, authentic Florentine meal without the attitude, cross the Arno River and eat at any restaurant where the locals dine. You'll be glad you did.
Be the first to ReplyThere seems to be a theme with a lot of the restaurants I
There seems to be a theme with a lot of the restaurants I booked in advance while visiting Italy including here. They are filled with tourists like myself and have seemingly average food, but with great service and english friendly. It may be hard to resist to not try this place given all the reviews and history, but it most definitely does not live up to the hype as some of the best italian food. It is not bad food by any means and we finished everything, but I was left wondering and waiting when the good part was coming.
Be the first to ReplyThis place may be the best restaurant on the planet.
... Ambiance, service, and food are all top notch! We were recommended this spot by someone at the airport and they were spot on. We went here two nights in a row because once was not enough so we had to go back the next night. Everything you put in your mouth will give you a mouthgasm. Everything you order will knock your socks off!!!!! This is a must try if you are in Florence! Make a reservation early because it fills up fast!
