Vecchio Vicolo in Florence

Wonderful and welcoming place, my favoutire in Florence. Versatile menu, not only traditonal dishes but also interesting plates, what you cannot find in other places. Whats also important a variety of options without meat, as not always there is a want to eat it and in most of places thats a problem. Always fresh food and good quality/price balance.

Our dishes were cold, the drinks were not good either and speaking of price-quality relation, we paid a lot for what we got.

If I could give more than 5 stars I would! Been touring Italy for 2 weeks, and this place was our favorite! Grilled octopus, grilled calamari, and burrata tortellini! Absolutely amazing food and such a wonderful staff. Would return to Florence just for this restaurant!

The pizza is great. 8/10 Very good price. However the octopus appetizer is $19 for one leg. taste ok but seem overpriced. 6/10 Fagotti pasta is good. It is sweet so we treated it as a dessert. It is a bit too much for one person to finish so recommend to share between 2-4 people. I never had it before so it is interesting to try it. 7/10

Amazing good and service! Fresh and tasty seafood pasta with tomato sauce (the portion of seafood is also very generous). You will love the tiramisu if you prefer a richer coffee flavour

I had the most delicious tortelli of my life, the filling was creamy and the sauce was full of flavour! I highly recommend to try any kind of fresh pasta that they offer (as far as I can remember there were 4 types). The vibe of the restaurant is really nice and it makes you feel like a guest at someones house. The staff was really welcoming and nice to us. The wine glass was bigger than your usual portion and that was a big plus beacuse the wine was great!

Cozy atmospheric place. Kitchen is authentic and creative at the same time. Be prepared for quite rich choice of meals, for testing each of them youll return to this place.

This place was fantastic. We’d highly recommend it. We had the seafood pasta, duck, Tuscan sausage and calamari (pictured below)All the dishes were extremely wellCooked and tasty. It also was not expensive for the quality and quantity. Strongly recommend to book ahead as it fills up right when it opens. They do take walkins but the line was long

We had amazing time at this restaurant. Weve eat in many restaurants in Italy, but this is definitely favorite. Food, drinks, everything is so delicious I cannot recommend it enough. Staff are also very serviceminded and you can taste that they love what they do.

Really great food, at a good price - we didn’t know what to expect and came across it randomly. I would highly recommend! The steak was delicious, no antibiotics, pasta were homemade and grilled mozzarella was to die for. One of our best Italian experience so far!

We have been there two times during our stay in Florence. It‘s always full, so do yourself and them a favour and reserve online. It’s really easy, just google it and the webside appears.The food and the flair is amazing. I was so happy we found this wonderful restaurant.

It was an amazing experience. Literally everything was perfect. Florentine steak is the real story. Try it here, and you wont regret it :)Also its usually busy in the evenings, so make a booking in advance at least for one day or in the morning.

A lovely, charming restaurant with great authentic local cuisine. Our waiter was engaging and very knowledgeable.We had the caprese salad, which was excellent (the mozzarella is a lot better in Italy than NYC!and a great seafood pasta.The waiter recommended a great Tuscan wine, which enjoyed very much.

A must visit in Florence!The Florentine steak - delicious! 🤌The owner of the restaurant - passionate about his business and caring about every single detail as well as about every single guest coming to his restaurant.Lovely Ambiente! Highly recommended!

We really enjoyed the food- the pasta was amazing! They have a diverse list of wine too which allowed us to explore various types of wine. They serve the meals very quickly within a 15min of sitting so if you want to take your time don’t order immediately. Unfortunately, our waiter was not very attentive and I had to top up our wine various times.

This is it. The best restaurant in Firenze. Over the past years I’ve visited this city often and every time I do I have to come to this restaurant. It is just that good. Lovely atmosphere, not too crowded and the food is absolutely delicious. They’re obviously doing very well (I saw they were forced to turn some people away during my evening there - so book reservations if you want to be sure of a spot. They do still do walk-ins though!And despite their success there is not one ounce of snootiness; the staff were just as warm and lovely as when I first came here years ago. In closing, I cannot recommend this place enough. Please do yourself a favour and get the wonderful handmade pasta, the perfectly cooked steak, and the sweetest, softest dessert you know you deserve.

The first impression of this restaurant was nice, I liked the interior and the overall atmosphere. We had a long walk so we needed to settle for a nice dinner. The dish you see in the picture below was probably the best one I ate in Italy, so I would recommend anyone to try it. It was truly worth a visit.

The best experience of our journey!100% recommend!Great food. Florentine steak was the best steak in our life! Literally melting in your mouth.Nice lady who worked there told us so many interesting facts about the local cuisine.We ordered amazing Chianti (local vine, perfect with the steak), margherita and an interesting Italian salad with tuna and beans.Everything was so good! Hope to come back to this place one day.

Literally an amazing gastronomic experience! We tried both the fresh and the factory pasta. Both were great! The thin pizza also is very tasty. The portions are quite generous, thus avoid ordering a lot of plates, cause you will end up leaving food. Also the tiramisu was delicious! The staff was quite helpful!

Nice restaurant, pleasant atmosphere. Dishes where ok. Team is friendly and efficient

Absolutely amazing! Lobster pasta was so good that we didn’t even know to prioritize lobster or the pasta itself. Great staff as well!

Amazing food. We enjoyed the cheese platter to start. The paccheri ai pistacchi were delicious, as were the spaghetti alla chittara with truffles. We also shared a white pizza with truffles and arugula, and a classic margherita. Delicious.

Great restaurant with dito menu. Service and food was excellent!

Best meal we had in Florence. Great location and lovely staff. Would recommend to anyone visiting. Especially the cacio e pere fagottini, one of the best dishes I’ve had!

Large and fresh salad. Easy to get in on Saturday night in July without a reservation. Friendly owner and service at first, then the waitress completely forgot about us for another half an hour before we could even place an order. Uninspired fish dish. Decent pizza. Wafting smell of sewer all night.

One of the best pizzas I’ve ever had! Very fresh ingredients used. The wait staff was attentive & friendly, the decor was cute & cozy, and there’s AC inside! 🍕❄️😊 I would definitely recommend for lunch or a casual dinner.

Stumbled across this place. Delicious. Huge steak, yummy all round and free.limoncello from a chatty owner.

We had an absolutely amazing meal at this super inviting and welcoming restaurant. The salads were fresh and so tasty, our entrees amazing and dessert was out of this world. They have a lovely wine list and their limoncello is the best!

Amazing restaurant in an ally in Florence. We discovered and ended up having a great lunch. The place is a bit expensive in general but the quality of food was awesome. Ambience is amazing as well.

Found this place out of sheer luck and was one of the best meals weve had so far. Staff was super helpful, and the food was so delicious. We had both the steak and pasta with a meat/cheese board to start and the tiramisu to end off with. It was all delicious.

All was perfect! The waiters extremly friendly and nice. The food was delicious and extremely good looking. The price is good compared with the foods quantity. All perfect!

Weve eaten here twice so far on this trip to Florence, and will probably fit in once more before we head home. The staff is friendly and welcoming, the pizzas are family favorites, and the speciality pasta have all been wonderful (look for the dishes with pistachios and the one with pears...both are winners!The interior is decorated with a lighthearted hand...fun to pretend one is outside, even inside. Highly recommend!

Very friendly service and delicious Italy food🤤! Lobster pasta is really worth a try!

A lovely find. The food was of high quality and a reasonable price. If I had to gripe, the past portion was a little small. just wanted some more of this good stuff. Clean restaurant and polite staff. Nice that they did half bottles of wine. Fair price for good food. Thanks

Great place to enjoy a pizza. The interior is really cute, little balconies on the wall make you think, youre in a little italian street. They even put their laundry on lines!Be aware of the pizza size! Some are big and some are bigger!!But they all have a great tast. The service is good and the staff very polite and helpfull.

What can I say?The wait staff were amazing and extremely helpful with navigating the wine menu. VERY accommodating.Easily the best service we’ve had in Italy.The food was delicious, highly recommended the home made pasta.Great location, lovely atmosphere.10/10

Great and friendly service. Food is delicious. Very tasty home made pasta.

It was the first time I was impressed by italian food in Italy.Service was perfect, staff were so kind and helpfull.The pasta and pizza were by far very better than all Rome reataurans. I added the photo of the bill to see what we ordered.Also, the decoration and view were very nice and cozy.Thanks you so much.I would return to this restaurant one day.

Best meal we had in Italy. The Sinfonia di Verdure was pure joy - loved the smokiness of the mozzarella and the fried onions. Everything else was awesome too - we had the handmade pasta with truffles, sausage with white beans and the sliced steak !! Excellent attentive service and a really cool setting!!

As my parents are small business owners, I typically try not to leave bad reviews because I understand faux pas can happen however, I feel a strong necessity to say something so others can avoid this tragic experience.Long story short- I can NOT recommend this place.We came to eat at this place because of the 4.6 star review and wanted authentic Italian food. The ambience was decent and the service was good. I ordered a bean soup and a fancy “spaghetti with meat sauce” called PICI ALLA MAREMMANA. To summarize and to save your time, it was basically a hamburger helper with “home made pasta”. There is nothing positive I can say about my meal other than it could prevent you from famine if you are at that point. The waitress and the restaurant manager were both aware I didn’t consume more than one bite of my food, yet, they never asked how the meal was or question why I was not eating more. My husband ordered a different primi (don’t recall the namebut his was no better than mine. As we sat there for 2 hours finishing our bottle of wine, 2 other couples left without finishing their food. There is nothing authentic or good about the food here. If you are hungry and are down to eat anything this is still not your place. If you are in a search for some good ol’ Italian food, please go elsewhere else. We spend 80+eu here including our sparkling water, 2 soups, a (23eubottle of wine and 2 primis but we only enjoyed ourselves bc we had each other’s company. To conclude, a frozen meal from Olive Garden is 10x better. Save your time and experience and go elsewhere.

5 stars for their thin dough pizza. Surprisingly quiet street in a very busy area near Ponte Vecchio. We loved how tranquil it felt after being in crowds all day. Very friendly staff who was really kind and accomodating to the families around us with small children. swift service! Look no further for a quick pick me up after a long walk around the city! They are generous with their portions, use high quality ingredients, and the pizza was amongst top ten ever.

Nice restaurant, extremly friendly staff and the food came fast and was delicious. They were very generous with the wine. If you want to tip the staff, bring cash!

We had one on of the best delicious pizza that ever had. Great atmosphere and outstanding and very kind service. We met Arabian waiter who very helpful. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Very nice place! Recommended!Helpful and polite staff, fantastic steak!Mohito is the best!

Nice , friendly staffs. I appreciate the informations in the menu (eg. what pasta factory makes its pasta, what type of beef they use)

There are so many pros to this restaurant. Plenty of space in their amazingly decorated "Vicolo" area, so if youre covid-conscious and worried about cramped restaurants, this is a great place to go. We were asked for our COVID certificates at the door, which we appreciated.Great responsibility aside, they have incredible pizzas, great wine and a frankly unmatched atmosphere, even though we went for dinner long before the main rush. The staff are also warm, friendly, inviting — well no doubt have to come back before we leave.

The service is good. The lobster pasta is delicious. The cake with fig is good as well.

Luigi and his staff are some of the best we’ve experienced in Italy (and we’ve been here for a month now). The attention to detail and care behind his ingredients shows in his food and his warm conversation. We had an awesome experience and are already planning our next visit. Worth every penny.

Delicious pizza we all lovers it. The rounded ones are the normal pizzas and the long ones are the think crust

Great restaurant in one of the narrow Florence street. Ordered pizza and gnocchi, both were really tasty. Nice staff.
