Why Travelers Love Osteria dei
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Come with 4 guests and sit by the window! 🍷 We had an incredible dinner on our last night in Florence. Mu-Az (lovingly nicknamed ‘Obama’) was our server and made us feel right at home. We shared a family-style course of Pappardelle al ragù di cinghale, Pici cacio e pepe, Spinaci saltati and Chiana Steak (Medium Rare). We shared a lovely bottle of Ruffino Montepulciano and admired the people as they strolled by the front window. As the sun set, we enjoyed Limonchello and Crème brûlée - the best I've ever had. We will back and recommend to all of our loved ones! Friendly service and great food. This place seems to be more geared towards tourists (at least at the time we came) but it is a solid option. The workers are extremely friendly and quick. The carbonara was a bit on the salty side, but was delicious! The Florentine steak was cooked perfectly and was one of the best Florentine steaks we’ve had so far. Steak was a bit pricey, but well worth it. Greek salad was just “okay” but a great way to get some veggies. We were a group of 5 women, mixed ages group and have different different dietary preferences. Our host was very helpful, we had red wine and white wine. Brushetta and tomatoes for starters, mixed meat, seafood and pasta dishes for secondis. Cheese cake and panacotta desert was very tasty. We would recommend!

We stumbled upon this gem of an osteria in Florence and were so blown away by the food and service that we had to return the very next day. The atmosphere is authentic, but what really made our experience unforgettable was our waiter, "Obama" The carbonara was hands-down the best we've had in all of Italy – perfectly creamy, rich, and balanced. The fillet steak and chicken Caesar was out of this world – if you're a truffle lover, do yourself a favor and order the ravioli. It's easily the best ravioli I’ve ever tasted.

We had a reservation and we were seated on the second floor. It had beautiful vibes and we ordered various types of food. The steak was juicy, octopus wasn’t chewy and lasagna was delicious. Also the staff was really friendly. Recommend!
