The best Pappardelle in Florence!

We dined in the wisteria courtyard on a mild October evening. The Pappardelle al Cinghiale was simply divine—rich, meltingly tender, and bursting with flavor. The hospitality made us feel like family. Highly recommend reserving a courtyard table in advance!

Unforgettable Florentine Anniversary Dinner

From the moment we arrived, the service was attentive yet relaxed. The Bistecca alla Fiorentina for two was grilled to absolute perfection with rosemary roasted potatoes. Superb Chianti Classico wine selection. We will return on our next trip to Florence!

Authentic Tuscan dining at fair prices

A genuine Florentine trattoria that avoids the tourist traps. Excellent Insalata Caprese with creamy buffalo mozzarella, followed by homemade pici. The courtyard atmosphere is romantic and quiet despite being right in the center.
