The gnocchi is heavenly! And the sauce with the spaghetti with fresh tomatoes and basil is the best sauce I've had. Portions are huge - small size is enough to fill my appetite

Everything I have eaten here is excellent. I highly recommend the mussel soup. The gnocchi was light and fluffy, as good as all the reviews here. I was most impressed by the simple pasta dishes.

Lovely,romantic,fantastic I can’t think of many more words to use. The food is delicious and the space is quirky in a good way. Also the menus are made in part by art work from visiting children.

One of my favorite meals in Florence. Food was tasty, service warm & friendly. Get the pasta w/ tomatoes and octopus, and if you like offal or are feeling more adventurous, the tripe. It’s delicious!

Consistently great food, typical Italian specials, large plates, amazing mussels. It's in a more 'local' part of town. If you have to eat in a piazza then avoid Piazza della Repubblica and eat here!

Definitely the best gnocchi I ever had! Try it! And this is the small portion, that's perfect for one person. You can have a small salat also.

Terrific place with huge portions, though 1/2 of dish is available and is highly recommended in case you’re not a giant. Mussels soup is great.

Best gnocchi I've had, very creamy with plenty of cheese brought out still sizzling. This place is $$$. 21 euro to split 1 gnocchi one glass of wine and Pellegrino bottle + 6 euro fee to sit inside.

The gnocchi is the most amazing I've ever had! And they have an option called "porzione ridotta" that is a smaller version of almost all the dishes. For really fair price. Strongly recommend it!!

Seriously awesome place! A few things, but perfect fresh pasta, perfect service, what's not to like! Don't come if you expect big menu, pizzas, etc! Come for good quality pasta!

The best Mussels I have ever eaten I would honestly consider getting g a flight just to eat these mussels again! Only €10 for a huge bowl of heaven. Pasta is also very nice and fresh.

A place far from de tourist traps, real food on a real Italian neighborhood. Try the truffled gnocchi and be patient because this place is getting famous.

Great location on piazza. Good quality food. More of a tourist spot. Only heard English spoken. Octopus was excellent . Average selection of wine by the glass. Overall good but a 'once of' place.

Absolutely life changing! If there is one thing you have to order it is the truffle gnocchi. Make sure you get there at least 30min early to get in line

Best restaurant experience in Florence! Food was amazing and staff really attentive. The portions are huge so if you want to eat more than one plate (which you do) order the smaller portions.

Reservations are a must here I guess. Although some spaces were empty but they still wouldn't seat us without a reservation. Ordered mussels and gnocchi. Everything looks amazing.

Portions are huge. Small is enough for one person. Gnocchi is very delicious but so heavy it is hard for us to finish small portion. Ambience and service is lovely.

Can’t go wrong with gnocchi in truffle cream sauce. The risotto with zucchini was also very good. I wouldn’t recommend their vongole, not bad. But I’ve had better vongole elsewhere.

Our waiter was pretty stressed and unfriendly but the food was great. Order only big portion if you are really hungry, the "regular" size is already enough for most people :)
