La Cantinetta

The cheese and jam appetizer is a MUST! It was so delicious. We enjoyed everything we had, but that cheese dish is something special

We had the Florentine steak, cooked to medium raw, it was absolutely delicious! Juicy and tender with an amazing flavor. The red wine recommended by the owner was also excellent. Great service and a convenient location. Highly recommend! A wonderful evening!

Many will tell you to absolutely avoid restaurants around the main attractions in Florence but if you're after a delicious no-frills meal, this is the one you absolutely shouldn't. We stumbled upon this restaurant as it was the only open one in the area late evening. We had the asparagus and cheese risotto which to a meat-eater like me sounded boring but was actually amazing. The wild boar pappardelle? Equally delicious even without parmesan on top. We went back for lunch another day and tried the ravioli topped with ragú bolognese. The ragú was probably the best one I've ever had or at least in a long time, so now we have to come back again for more whoops lol. Luckily it stays open till midnight which is a big plus as is the service with a smile! Here's a video sure to make you drool ... Buon appetito!

The food here is absolutely delicious, and the staff couldn't be nicer. We received excellent wine recommendations from a lady on the team, who asked thoughtful questions to ensure we had the best experience possible. We enjoyed it so much that we came back two days in a row, first for dinner and then for lunch. Highly recommend!

I had a wonderful evening at La Cantinetta, and it was recommended to me by my relative – totally worth the recommendation. I had the Florentine steak and it was absolutely delicious – juicy and flavorful. The servicewas superb aswell – the waiter was super nice and assisted me in choosing the right dish, making everything even better. Wonderful place for real cuisine and warm welcomes in Florence!

Went here on my school trip with friends. The quality, looks and prices were satisfactory. I'm a big fan of sea food and this is the BEST spaghetti with seafood in Italy that we tried. All of my friends are satisfied with their orders as well, we are very happy and hopefully we will come again!

Worst meal we had in our 7-days trip in Italy!! We ordered grilled fillet steak with roasted potatoes and risotto with cheese. A bone - huge like my pinky finger nail in my first bite of the steak.. I was lucky that my teeth are strong. And, the steak has no taste at all and even my husband cooked a better steak than this EU38 steak. And the staff never come and ask if the food is okay or not. AND when we pay the bill we found that they charged EU3 each for “Coperto”, which we later search online and found out it means bread basket and we didn’t have any as they didn’t give one to us!! We recognized that other tables have that bread basket and we assumed they ordered one or it comes with wine order, no wonder it is automatically charged and we never had that!! That’s nonsense! We don’t know Italian so we didn’t figured it out until we left the restaurant.. What an unpleasant meal and we will never recommend anyone eat here!!

Came for dinner at 7:00 pm on Saturday and no wait. It was an excellent dinner given touristy location. We ordered Florentino steak and seafood spaghetti with 2 plates of veggies on the side and homemade tiramisu as desert. The gentleman, probably the owner, offered half or full steak with preferred steak internal temperature (rare to get this special service in Italy.) We took half as we did not want to overeat. It was a perfect portion considering the spaghetti portion was generous. Tiramisu was delicious.
