Why Travelers Love Osteria La
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
I found this restaurant from a Reddit recommendation and we gave it a try for some Florentine Bisteca. I liked that it wasn’t on the main strip of tourist restaurants, but not far everything. Very cute, great Bisteca, but pricey. Enjoyed the meal, wine and black truffle ravioli. We made reservations in advance. The pasta was perfectly cooked and seasoned and the wine was great. There’s not much more to say, they get everything right here. The dining room is very small and was full the entire time we were there so a reservation is probably best. Very tourist style restaurant in Florence, friendly service and good atmosphere but food was a real disappointment! Pasta carbonara was way too salty and beef slices drenched with mushroom sauce. After my Prato culinary experience, this is a real let down........ not too sure if other restaurants in Florence are the same??

I had a beef ragu and hugo spritz. Both were really nicely prepared - the beef particularly melted in my mouth and was very flavourful - would recommend. There was no queue for lunch and plenty of spaces available.
