The atmosphere is very homey, service is quick and kind, and prices are good as well. 100% recommend the penne alla bettola and a trip to this beautiful restaurant next time in Florence!"

The food is some of the best I’ve had in Italy - nothing complicated but so much flavour and so delicious. A true local gem and can’t wait to come back one day!"

Mar 17, 2026"Stayed in Florence for 9 days and this was the best meal I've ever had. Recommended by a local and it surpassed expectations. Menu is completely in Italian but the servers will assist you. Our server gave us great recommendations and suggested we split food to try different things which I appreciated. The pasta in their red sauce was the best ever. I've never wanted to lick a bowl clean until now. It was like eating homemade tomato soup. We then shared the best Florentin steak. It melted in your mouth with intense flavor. Staff was friendly. A must if you visit Florence. Very reasonably priced."
