Came to Florence a few days ago and tried several well-rated trattorias, but they all left us disappointed. Then finally tried the restaurant right next to our residence, and it was a revelation. Authentic Italian pasta, quality ingredients, warm service, and the house wine was perfect. The tiramisu is the one you dream about. After four other places, this is the one we truly recommend. Please go.

This place is amazing! The food is made to order. Everything is so fresh. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. Top 5 meals of our life!!! If you are a visitor or local, we recommend. Staff speaks great Italian and English.

Wandering around a new area in Firenze & we came across this wonderful little place for lunch - whimsically decorated, great service & the food was excellent - caprese salad, linguine with clams & the standout dish was the gnocchi with sage & butter. Luis was so friendly & we were really happy we spontaneously decided to stop here to eat - highly recommend!

My friend and I just got to Florence super hungry and this is the first place we stopped at to eat something. Our experience was incredible, Salvatore and Louis were so hospitable it made the start to our Florence trip amazing. We will definitely be back before we leave. We ordered a lot of food too and everything was well priced and especially considering the service, definitely worth every euro.

Phenomenal food, including the best hot chocolate we had in Italy. The foccacia was also amazing. The waitstaff were incredibly kind as well—great place overall! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great meal

Wonderful little find in Florence After taking in the lovely sunset at the famous vantage point of Piazzale Michelangelo our hungry group of six stumbled across a rather unassuming little restaurant along Lungarno Benvenuto Cellini facing the Arno River named MOZZA & Bollicine. In our quest to avoid touristy restaurants we were warmly greeted by the owner Salvatore. From the moment we stepped into this GEM of a restaurant nothing was too much trouble for Salvatore. The food was exceptional with a definite thumbs up from each member of our group. Salvatore also offers a wide range of wines (another of his specialities) and was very happy to provide glasses of various wonderful examples of the region aimed to meet our palate. We were also showered with a range of little special compliments along the journey. Not only were the homemade desserts to die for but his special biscotti was a definite winner among us all. Then up another notch we were introduced to new experience of dipping the cantucci into Santo Spirito 11, something we would have never considered. Such a fantastic meal and experience was had by all, totally satisfying the hungry group on so many levels. This of course led to the unanimous vote to return for a second night. Unbelievably Salvatore even outperformed the previous night with some extra special homemade pasta dishes and unbelievable desserts. The dishes are too many to list, but my favourites were Pasta with Fresh Clams white wine chilli sauce and the incredible affogato semifreddo. Recommend this little restaurant to anyone visiting wonderful Florence.

A fantastic, quiet spot not too far from the busy centre with great food, wine, and service. Our waiter Luis was brilliant from start to finish. He was kind, attentive, and helpful with everything. The bruschetta, gnocchi, and hazelnut affogato were my favourites, though my husband loved his caciocavallo. For our wine, we had a bottle of the house red, a Chianti, which was smooth, light, and delicious. We couldn't have asked for a better place for our last night in Florence.

If you are looking for an authentic Italian meal cooked by a real, world traveled Italian chef; look no further This was the best meal we had on our 21 day trip in Italy! Salvatore runs his business and kitchen with passion and only serves the highest quality products to his guests. Luis gave us incredible service and every single detail was handled with the same level of passion and care.
