That’s not a tourist place and I liked it very much. Small kitchen but delicious food and tasty wine. Super friendly service and atmosphere
This place is an absolute gem! Very delicious, honest, home cooked food that is prepared fresh on the spot. The vibe is great - friendly and laid back. The two woman there (serving and cooking) were clearly working very hard. Perfect place to have drinks and some of their amazing crostini. But don’t look past their first and second courses. The menu appears to highlight whatever is available in season and there is a good selection of different animal part dishes. Everything was great - food, drinks, dessert, service, atmosphere. I wish this place was in my neighborhood at home. Such a nice, and unique dining experience. I dined solo here a few times during my stay and their hospitality was very refreshing. Also refreshing, were their homemade spirits they offered after dinner! Highly recommend this place!
We've been in Firenze for over 3 days and this place is hands down the best food yet! The food was literally cooked right there while we enjoyed wine and a great atmosphere! I'm certain I' Rinforzino will be one of our best memories of Italy and we have more to see!
Local dishes cooked by florentine people. Away from touristy spots, it is a small place with 6 small tables on the street terrace plus another 2 inside. You come for the food which changes daily depending on the menu of the day. Highly Recommend!
I am only sharing this photo to emphasize on how good everything was! We LOVED the quality, the taste and the uniqueness. Thank you!
This is a cute place. We had a 7 or 8 course meal with traditional Italian food. Some of them were even more special, made only in Florence. They were interesting and for a very good price. The ladies were very nicr to us. It was a great experience.
If you’re looking for a quiet and cozy place to relax while drinking your Aperol and eating home cooked dishes, you’re in the right place, not if you wanna get a proper restaurant experience tho. Anyways, I appreciated the few but cheap food alternatives, the “Tagliere” was excellent and “Pappa al pomodoro” was good as well (maybe a bit too spicy for me, but overall well-served). The staff, composed only by two women, are very welcoming and affable.
Absolutely the bestttt liver ever!!! It was so amazing. We stumbled upon this place. Just walking looking for a dinner spot. So glad we landed here!!
