What everybody agrees on
Read across public reviews on Google and TripAdvisor in September 2026.
- Most
It was among the first places in Florence doing Neapolitan pizza properly, and regulars still treat it as a fixture.
- Most
The room is large, theatrical and noisy, and this is the reason people either love it or avoid it.
- Often
Portions are generous and prices sit at the reasonable end for the centre.
- Some
It fills, and the wait at peak times is real.
What to order
A classic rather than a loaded pizza. The kitchen is at its best when the toppings are few.
Before you go
- Getting there
- Via Maffia, in the Oltrarno, five minutes from Piazza Santo Spirito.
- Booking
- Worth doing at weekends.
- With a group
- One of the few rooms in the centre that takes a large table.
Named after the mischievous house spirit of Neapolitan folklore, and decorated with the same lack of restraint. Several doughs on offer including one made with vegetable charcoal. It is a big operation and feels like one, which is either the appeal or the problem depending on the evening you want.
