Restaurants near Pitti Palace Palazzo Pitti

Wonderful experience. Great dinner for the entire family.

We ate outside, so be prepared for traffic and passersby. Still worth eating outside when possible. The servers were attentive. We did the bruschetta appetizer- 3 pieces piled with fresh tomatoes. I did the truffle steak and it was delicious. Cooked raw, slightly seared. My husband had the filet, again excellent. You received two filets with each meal. And roasted potatoes. No room for dessert. So decide if you want appetizer or dessert. Nice wine selection. We have already recommended to fellow travelers looking for a good filet.

WOW!!! We had reservations at another restaurant and when we arrived they told us that they closed a year ago. They use the space for cooking classes. I thought we got punked! So, we sat outside and look for another place to eat. I remember that Osteria del Tegolaio was on my list. So we booked immediately. Sometimes in life, mishaps turn out to be the best experiences. I can’t say enough about this gem!! It’s so quaint and homey. Our waiter, Steven, was very nice and accommodating. And the manager, Mario was incredible and so friendly. Ok, now let’s talk food…OMG!!! The food here was the best we ate in all of Italy!! It deserves an award for best restaurant. Each dish was presented so beautifully. We ate the spinach flan appetizer and it was soooooo delicious. For our main dishes, I had fusilli with a pumpkin cream sauce. Very light and tasted wonderful. My husband had the veal with truffles. This dish was insanely delicious. Mario surprised us with dessert. He said if we didn’t like it, we would t pay for it. LOL it was a cake baked in condensed milk with a chocolate & caramel sauce. Wowza!! We had a bottle of white wine that was also fantastic. So, forget the Instagram posts and go here! You won’t regret it!!!!! Compliments to the chef. And thanks to the wonderful staff for making our last meal in Italy so special!! ❤️🇮🇹❤️
