Ristorante Trattoria da Burde

Amazing place in Florence! The food is delicious and gives you the feeling of being in a true Italian home. It’s a historic spot with a great atmosphere and very authentic products — you can really taste the quality. Definitely worth a visit if you want a real Italian experience.

I’m definitely coming back. Delicious food, service was great. I didn’t feel rushed to order, eat or leave. The filetto was unbelievably tender. It does come with some fat and nerves, but honestly, you don’t want to overwork such high quality meat. Cold cuts and cheese were amazing. Wine by the glass was also insanely good. My only regret was not having someone to share a bistecca fiorentina with. I saw a few reviews complaining about the food or service. I’m not trying to make excuses or say they’re wrong, maybe it was just a busy day or something. My experience was excellent.

Excellent lunch spot or perfect for a nice date night. Charmingly authentic little local spot! The Fiorentina Bistecca was wonderful. I and my friend had the Pici Pesto and Pici Aglione. So good. The bar is in front. Prompt and delightful service.

Trattoria da Burde is a bit off the beaten path, but well worth the journey. Located in the outskirts of Florence, this place is where locals go for a hearty, traditional meal. The atmosphere is simple and warm – no frills, just good food and good people. I ordered the pappa al pomodoro and the bollito misto, a variety of boiled meats served with sauces. Everything was rustic and deeply satisfying. The ingredients were clearly top-notch, and the kitchen doesn’t cut corners. The staff were welcoming and happy to walk us through the menu. We felt like guests in someone’s home. Prices were fantastic – around €30 per person for a full meal with wine. It’s a great spot if you want to explore beyond the city center and experience a slower pace. There's a sense of culinary history here, and you can tell the recipes have been passed down through generations. If you love traditional food done right, this is a must-visit. Definitely one of the most memorable meals we had in Florence.

Overall great. Original atmosphere. A place for locals. The Fiorentina was nicely done. House wine very drinkable. However, the service was unwelcoming and raw at first. The place was 2/3 empty for a very late lunch; we had a reservation, but got by far the worst table, half into a passage towards the kitchen, because the rest was obviously already prepared for the next day. The annoying Germans we can be 😎, we forced our way towards a better table. (Just insist!) In the end, our waiter even warmed up a bit, after we ordered one dessert after the other.

Traditional old trattoria we had some fresh pasta and cold cut to start. We also try the chicken liver. The food is simple and good. I recommend more this kind of place that the tourist trap in the center.

We stopped here for a quick meal before our flight, what we thought was just going to be a convenient pit stop turned out to be one of the highlights of our holiday. Da Burde is what a restaurant should be. They respect the craft of both cooking and serving food. The chefs clearly know what they’re doing, the waiters know the menu well and the sommelier will make intelligent wine pairings for your food. That said there is no stiffness or ego, you are met with a smile, made to feel welcome and the team clearly enjoy working here which contributes towards an environment where time slips by. We almost missed our flight because we had to try a pudding, and we didn’t regret it! 5 stars!!

Our final dinner in Florence was at @trattoriadaburde for Bisteca Florentine. We were excited to try this Florentine dish as we are all steak lovers. My suggestion if you don’t like very rare or blue steaks is not to have this. Thankfully I like it like this but for others in our group it was borderline edible at this doneness. The food was good and the sides of potatoes and seasonal veg were very good. This restaurant is a bit further out and the English speaking ability is much less. We had a lot of trouble communicating. In the end Ryan spoke some Spanish which she understood a little of, and we used google translate. We managed to get everything delivered that we asked for. The restaurant is beautiful and very large which means service can be slow. If you are heading out here for dinner be warned that it’s very hard to get a taxi afterwards. We were on a tight time limit as we were departing Florence late that night, so I would definitely come and try this again with someone who speaks Italian and without any time constraints.
