What everybody agrees on
Read across public reviews on Google and TripAdvisor plus Italian local writing in September 2026.
- Nearly all
Cheap for how central it is. This is the point everyone makes first.
- Most
The room is tiny and the pace is fast. You eat, you pay, you go.
- Often
The cooking is straight Florentine with no adjustments made for visitors.
- Some
Service is brisk to the point of brusque, and regulars find this funny rather than rude.
What to order
Ribollita or the pappa al pomodoro first, then whatever the day's meat dish is. Do not plan on a long lunch.
Before you go
- Getting there
- Three minutes east of the Duomo.
- Best time
- Arrive at twelve or after two.
- Paying
- Bring cash.
Small enough that turnover is the business model. Sausages and beans, arista with potatoes, the winter dishes done properly. Nothing about the room is designed and nothing needs to be. Good on a cold day and good when you have an hour rather than an evening.
