Best experience eating while in Florence last week. This is an intimate, family run trattoria. The food is delicious, wine good and prices reasonable. Best part is that it hasn’t been tarted up like many of the older restaurants in Florence. It is a slightly hard to find spot, immediately west of the city wall on the north side of the street, tucked into a little niche, about a 20 minute walk from the south side of the Ponte Vecchio. We ate there on the way to the opera.

Real authentic Tuscan cuisine for a low price. The fettuccine was very fresh in a light pomodoro sauce that was cooked to perfection. My wife had a soup with rice and cabbage that she loved. The ambiance feels rustic with a family owned and ran feel. Very patient with foreigners and their fare is fresh. The place was packed by 8pm so I know the locals love this place too. So far the best meal in terms of taste and value that I’ve had in Italy so far. You won’t regret your visit and will pass on the recommendation to others!

This was the perfect spot for a quick lunch. The feel is very local. All of the people in the dining area were speaking Italian and there was no tourist façade. The food was great. I had a lovely smooth minestrone with rice and my boyfriend had a tagliatelle with meat sauce. It is affordable and tasty :)

My train into Firenze arrived over an hour late and I was STARVING. My airbnb host recommended a few local spots and my boyfriend & I decided to come here for lunch. We were warmly welcomed after the usual lunch hour, maybe around 2 ish, and were told to sit anywhere. While the menu was completely in Italian, our waiter was fully fluent in English and took the time to translate EVERY item on the menu for us. I ordered a rice/cabbage soup which was amazing on the cold gloomy day I arrived, and my boyfriend ordered a tasty meat ravioli. While both items were delicious, we decided to order a half roast chicken since you’re apparently supposed to eat multiple courses! Unfortunately… the chicken was dry and I really didn’t feel like finishing it off. If we had stopped before the chicken, lunch would have been incredibly affordable. If you have limited euros on hand, be sure to remember that some places will add a table tax to your bill even if it’s not stated on the menu! Whether it’s legal or not is a whole other story, but it happens so what can you do? Summary: rainy days call for hearty soup from Sabatino.

Cover charge of 1.40euro per person and when you add in side dishes you expect comes with dishes the total comes out more than way more than 10 euros per person. We felt tourists were tolerated and definitely not the focus of their business — steer clear unless you live here and eat here every week(maybe — Im trying to be positive). We are still waiting for olive oil(or any to dip) for the very dry bread! Menu was sparse — we got there at 8pm and they had no spaggetti left(it opened at 7.30pm). V. Disappointed — can’t recommend it at all — is there a zero star?

I really enjoyed this place. We were the only tourists. The owner explained the menu to US and was very personable. The waiters we’re extremely nice as well. I had the soup and everyone else had pasta for a first course. 3 of us had the roasted mackerel, 1 the pork chop. Very tasty. We split a salad and roasted potatoes. Finished off by sharing coffee and desert. I would revisit.

Best gem in Florence. My 4 day visit had a trip here each day. The pastas, salads, and wines are perfect. The prices are very inexpensive for the quality. The staff there was very patient with my boyfriend and I as we both don’t speak Italian. I love this place!

Traditional, casual, rustic, authentic… This place is perfect! Each dish I ordered was simple, yet delicious. I write ‘simple,’ yet suspect that the methods and recipes employed evolved from generations of discriminating Sabatino palates. Local families outnumber visitors and the flavors outweigh the very modest prices.

This is where I take friends who are visiting to have no-nonsense home style Tuscan food. Nothing pretentious, super blue collar and traditional Tuscan pastas and mains. Rivers of cheap yet palatable house wine, fresh sliced charcuterie, local cheeses and momma style baked desserts– you can’t get any better for value and quality.
