Shannon EaganOctober 5, 2017Ravioli, wild boar, burrata, wine, ambiance, service. Everything was absolutely amazing.
Zach AaronsFebruary 2, 2012I wish I had more petals to give to Soldanno. Run by the coolest guy in Florence, La Giostra serves up incredible Tuscan food like pecorino and pear ravioli and steak. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Lydia ShahmoonMarch 19, 2011everything is delicious. brie and artichoke ravioli, pear and pecorino ravioli, seabass carpaccio - I need it all! and the complimentary appetizers are delicious as well.
Michael CassonJune 18, 2017Everything was amazing. Incredible ambiance and staff. Prices reasonable given the level of quality
Dave DudeJune 20, 2012Absolutely amazing food and great atmosphere. Pear and ricotta ravioli and osso buco are best. Complimentary prossecco real nice touch too
Elina TompuriJune 28, 2013Don't leave the place without trying their tiramisu or cheesecake. Best I've had my life.
Nacho CifuentesAugust 18, 2017Food just OK, wine too warm, service slow and rude. The dinner a disaster. Def a place to avoid despite the surprisingly good rating.
David WeinertAugust 31, 2021Food was a HUGE disappointment. Worst carbonara I've ever had, regret not sending back. No English menu so you're totally reliant on waiter. Horrible negroni (€15). Very good house red wine.
Makeda King-SmithOctober 17, 2016Everything we ate here was amazing. Best meal we had in Florence. Pasta with truffle is a must. Bronzino was incredible.
Victoria SavageMay 27, 2019Pear and ricotta tortellini is unbelievable. Free glass of Prosecco and a plate of appetisers too
