Santa Lucia - Firenze

Delicious pasta for my granddaughters. I had rare sliced beef with spinaci. We tried vegetarian flan, which was excellent. And the lightly fried balls of dough with crudo and cheese are ever so yummy. Homemade bread? You cannot go wrong. Fabrizio and the staff were warm and friendly.

This charming little restaurant served some very comforting, simple dishes. We started with a carafe of house wine, which was great. The shrimp risotto was creamy and cheesy, with neatly arranged shrimp. There was a good amount of lemon zest all throughout the dish. I guess the acid was meant to break up some of the heaviness of the dish. The pizza comes in thick or thin. We weren't quite sure what that meant, since the pizzas all look pretty much the same. Our server was very nice and explained that it is the crust that is thick or thin. When we asked which he recommended, he replied, "I like it thick." So of course we went with his recommendation and ordered a thick crust margherita pizza. So the pizza arrived and the edges of the crust were thick and pillowy, while the center of the pizza was still very thin. It held the tomato sauce very well. There was a smattering of basil leaves, interspersed with some thick pieces of mozzarella. The pizza was delicious, and tastes great with a drizzle of their olive oil. The risotto was nice, but nothing too exciting. I'm glad we tried a restaurant a little bit away from the center of Florence and found a gem off the beaten path.

Went here on the first night of florence. Definitely recommend the pizzas. The waiters are very friendly and will help translate them menu options for you and give you recommendations.

An authentic Italian experience. Service staff Fabrizio was amazing , he speaks English and he is so fast that you feel a guest of wind pass you as he moves about! Food was great, had the octopus and my son had pasta with wild boar meat. The pizza looked great but just wanted to try something different and it was worth it! Will be back again for the pizza!

I would give a 10star if I could. The food was amazing! We ordered truffle pizza and salted mussels and clamps. And it did not disappoint. The staff was able to speak in English making the ordering process so much easier. A must try place when visiting Italy!

We had a lovely dinner date here last night, the pizza was excellent, the wine and beer were lovely & the staff were very welcoming & spoke very good English. We love that the restaurant allows dogs, we are on holiday and missing ours so see a few pooches was very nice. The atmosphere was lovely and the prices are very reasonable!
