Baldovino Bistrot

great food and service pomodoro was amazing, just tomato sause and spaghetti but the best pasta i ever had during the whole journey

This was a fantastic experience! We got gnudi to start which was delicious and simple. Then a Bistecca alla Fiorentina which was absolutely delicious and perfectly cooked. The wine we got Brunello was smooth and delicious and the desserts were so so good (cheesecake, tiramisu, both made in house and a gelato cake (?) made by a local gelateria). The service was perfect and made for an overall great experience.

This place is a hidden gem. Food, service, atmosphere… all excellent. Obviously the owner cares about his customers. Highly recommend!!

I wanted to review it with 3,5 star but I do not have this option. So I give 4. We ordered the ravioli burrata, classico Toscano con coccoli, 2 pizzas (panierino and baldovino), sorbetto lomone, 2ltr water , sprite and aperol. We paid 93,50 euros. The pizzas had different crust from the classical Napolitan. It was very good and I liked it. The Ravioli burrata had unique taste but I wanted 2 more in the plate. The rest of the food was very good also. The people there were very kind and polite. But they loose stars for these reasons: We paid for cover change that never came. We did not have salt, oil vinegar or bread in the table like the other restaurants in the area. Also they did a lot of time to bring the forks and the knives in the table and we waited a lot to pay the bill. I believe that is something that they can improve. I suggest it but the restaurant must consider to fix this issues.

We had to wait to check into our apartment and they cleared out a space under some tables for our bags while we ate. The food was fantastic and the service was better. Highly recommend.

We started and ended our visit to Florence at this lovely restaurant. We were made to feel SO welcome and the food was supremely tasty - fresh, delicious and authentic. The wine list is super and we had two excellent negronis. The service is warm and friendly (in English) and the menu is extensive without being overwhelming. We were surrounded by locals and other visitors alike, big families, groups of friends and couples. This isn't a touristy place but they also didn't sneer at us being tourist. Quite the opposite, we had a warm welcome back from the owner who chatted with us about our Florence holiday. Vegetarians like us are extremely well catered for (too many choices when normally there's one or two!). I already look forward to going back!

We had an amazing dinner experience tonight at Baldovino! The food and service were outstanding! The highlight of the menu was their famous Florentine Steak! Cooked to perfection with a crispy crust outside and medium rare soft pink in the middle... Lightly seasoned with salt and pepper...tender and butter soft...it was pure carne heaven! My wife's seafood pasta was loaded with a generous serving of clams, mussels, squid, and giant prawns. Delish. Our friends ordered the off the menu zuppa (soup) which was very filling along with a nice Buffalo Mozzarella topped pizza. I highly recommend Baldovino and look forward to our next visit!

Absolutely delicious. We had pizza, steak and a side salad as well as tirimisu. Very nice food and really hit the spot.
