Their classic T-bone steak is indeed crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, but it just makes me feel like I'm eating raw meat. They should have taken pictures of the cut meat. Although the surface looks cooked, it's actually raw inside. If there are tendons, it's hard to chew. I can only say that raw meat is not suitable for patients. If you like to eat raw meat, you can eat more steak. I feel that the steaks here are all in this style. Black truffle pasta is delicious. I like it very much. It's the kind with a strong creamy flavor. Creamy mushroom risotto, I also like it. I especially like the risotto made here. I feel that it will never disappoint [good]
The restaurant is very large, consisting of outdoor and indoor rooms of different sizes, and the decoration is very warm. We ordered a T-bone steak and lobster noodles. The steak was cooked to medium rare, which is their specialty. The lobster noodles were cooked in the traditional hard-core way and were delicious.

I've always heard that the steak in Florence is very good. My friend also recommended this restaurant to me. Sure enough, the environment is nice and the taste is great! The steak is medium rare and the tenderness is just right. The tomato-flavored pasta and garlic baguette are also a must. The taste is really authentic!
I went to Florence for a trip before I got pregnant, but I never had time to comment. Now that I've come across this restaurant, it brings back a lot of memories! I went to this restaurant when I was planning to go there before the trip. It has a very good reputation and is a well-known steak restaurant in the area! The "T-bone steak" is so delicious, my husband loves it! I especially like the "lobster noodles", which are the dishes with the highest click rate! I hope I'll have the opportunity to go there again in the future, and I recommend this restaurant to all my friends who go there

An ice cream shop with a long queue, good service, and sweet but not greasy
As a popular coffee shop in Florence, Vivoli's Affogato is not only delicious, but also full of ritual. Experiencing a cup is definitely a highlight of the trip!

There is actually a place to eat offal in the town of Florence. This is the first time I have seen it after staying in Italy for several days. The business is pretty good. The words in their shop are all written in artistic fonts, which looks a bit tired, but it does not affect the taste of the tripe buns. It is really good...
If you haven't eaten it, you can come and try it. It tastes pretty good. You can see it as you enter the side of the market. It's made with real ingredients and is pretty good.

This is a cafe bar located on the beach. We played at the beach for a whole afternoon and had a great time. After playing, we felt thirsty, so we had a drink in this cafe on the beach. The latte art here is also very cute.
Because I wanted to see the lights on the carousel in Piazza della Repubblica, I started looking for food nearby and saw this century-old restaurant. The glass house is in a great location and the desserts in the window are very tempting. This is it~

Super delicious western restaurant, I have been here several times, pizza and steak are recommended
🇮🇹Florence｜Top 3 delicious European cities in my mind|||I didn’t have any amazing food in Rome, but every meal in Florence amazed me‼ ️
Picture 2⃣️ 3⃣️Il Ricettario
A relatively niche restaurant, but very worth it👌We ordered a seafood pasta, a meat sauce tortellini🥟 and a grilled steak🥩 grilled vegetables🥬The meat sauce tortellini is the most recommended. The taste is very rich with mashed potatoes and cheese fillings. It is super delicious and addictive.
Picture 4⃣️ Ostaria dei Centopoveri
This restaurant is also relatively niche. It is basically locals and there are few tourists. The taste is very authentic. Their pizza is a bit thick and chewy. The key point⭕️I recommend their slow-cooked beef fettuccine noodles. The noodles are not hard at all. The meat sauce is very fragrant and tastes very Chinese👍
Picture 5⃣️6⃣️ La Strega Nocciola Gelateria Artigianale
When traveling in Italy, I basically show off a gelato every day. The best one I have eaten is this one. My eyes lit up when I took the first bite of pistachio flavor, hahahaha The thickest and softest pistachio gelato I've ever eaten. I highly recommend you to try it. I think it's the No. 1 gelato in my heart.
Picture 7⃣️Impression of Chongqing
Order the Maoxuewang with your eyes closed. Spicy and fragrant🥢 There are a lot of tripe and duck blood. The potato wide noodles are very tasty.
Picture 8⃣️Beef tripe buns
The green brand beef tripe buns on the first floor of the Central Market. The tripe is very soft and has no taste of offal. It goes well with the toasted crispy bread. I can't wait to pack one to take back to London. I don't know how to order it, just say stomach. The sauce is a little salty and spicy like chopped pepper. #Florence #FlorenceTown #FlorenceMustDashCard #FlorenceMustEat

If you're in Florence, you absolutely must try this down-to-earth Tuscan restaurant! It's a century-old establishment! The food is truly delicious and affordable. We ordered Grandma's Meatballs, Black Pork Ragu, Beef Slices with Mushrooms and Artichokes, and Veal with Cheese, which had a nice hint of truffle. The meat was so tender and juicy, and absolutely delicious. The entire service staff was so welcoming, and the whole dining experience was truly delightful.

La Menagere is a cafe bar with a local Florentine feel. The cappuccino here is really delicious. You can sit there for an entire afternoon while reading a book and ordering a cup.
This place is really beautiful but the menu is limited. There are unusual dishes with some interesting ingredients. The plates are not generous and the prices are quite high for Florence.
