With almost two weeks exploring Firenze, Sienna, and then off to Rome... this was without a doubt the best meal of our trip, and one of the top 5 in my life.
We didn't have a reservation (you really should book one... otherwise, you'll probably end up walking away without a table... especially on a weekend), but managed to convince them that we'd eat quickly and wouldn't be in the way of a 9pm reservation (we showed up as soon as the door was opening for dinner service at 7pm).
If your Italian isn't very good... there will be some struggles, but it's doable. My Italian is almost non-existent, but my restaurant/food Italian is pretty good. :)
We decided that we should go all out and order a full Italian meal... (minus appy's). The wife and I ordered the same primi... a penne in a vodka cream sauce... OMG!!! Was so good I needlessly ate bread just to get all the sauce off the plate.... secondi... she went for a pork chop... the thing was almost the size of my wife's head! I had the steak... again... super huge... but both were SOOOoooo good. Her pork could have been a little less cooked (almost to the point of being dry... but not), but my steak was perfection. At the end... the wife ordered tiramisu (her fav desert...) and it didn't disappoint either. It was a very rustic serving of it, but was so tasty (I was almost loosening a notch at this point)... The house wine was served as a bottle on the table with a per person charge, and if that bottle had emptied, they would have brought another.
So... I've suggested any of my friends that happen to be in Firenze to go here... and I'd highly suggest ANYONE to do the same. For the meal, the prize was a great deal I thought... yes it was a little more than most of our other meals, but the quality, the service... the atmosphere... priceless!
