What everybody agrees on
Read across public reviews on Google and TripAdvisor plus Italian local writing in September 2026.
- Nearly all
The atmosphere is the product. Loud, jokey, and deliberately so, with the owner setting the tone.
- Most
The walls and ceiling are covered in things customers have written, which is what people photograph.
- Often
Friday is baccalà day and regulars plan around it.
- Often
Portions are generous and the Florentine classics are all present.
- Some
People who wanted a calm meal say so afterwards. This is not the room for it.
What to order
The Friday baccalà if you are here on a Friday. Otherwise the wild boar pasta, and let them steer you on the rest.
Before you go
- Getting there
- Ten minutes north of the Duomo up Via San Gallo, towards Piazza della Liberta.
- Best time

- Booking
- Worth doing for dinner.
The sign outside says nothing and the front looks like every other family trattoria in the city. Inside, the walls and ceiling are covered floor to ceiling in scrawl left by customers, the service is loud and deliberately teasing, and the kitchen sends out onion soup, wild boar pasta and a proper fiorentina.
The house calls its own style goliardico, which is roughly student humour with a straight face. If you want a quiet dinner this is the wrong room. If you want the version of a Florentine trattoria that locals actually book, it is the right one.
