Osteria Pastella

Because it is very close to the hotel, I ate here twice during my stay in Florence. The aperitif and digestif were great, and the dishes we ordered were all recommended by the waiter. They were great in appearance and taste, and the price was very affordable. The most impressive thing was the appetizer, the cheese and ham platter, which was very authentic Italian.

This was the best restaurant experience we had in Italy. The cheese wheel pasta was amazing. The service was just as great. We had 5 or 6 different people wait on our table with food, drinks, water etc.

My fiancée and I went as an engagement dinner with my parents and it was delicious! There were a few things forgotten towards the end of the meal, but it was late and they were closing. The rest of the meal was delicious! The roasted pecorino starter and the truffled cheese pasta were amazing!

Fantastic restaurant with great staff! As we waited for our reservation they brought us a welcome drink and ended our dinner with a complimentary limoncello! Food was delicious. Overall 10/10

Exceeded our expectations. Great food, friendly and efficient staff, and great ambience. The truffle pasta is a show in itself without any sacrifice to taste. And to have truffles shaved right on top of the pasta, as it’s served, was a great finishing touch. One thing that stood out was how all the servers worked together as a team. If someone sensed you needed something, they would ask regardless of whose table it was. Again, very efficient. Don’t be deterred by the long ones outside when you get there. They open at 7 and seemed to take two waves of reservations at 7pm and around 845pm. For those without reservations, they seemed to try to work them in.
