Place recommended by an Italian friend, absolutely worth it! Couldn’t book at they don’t seem to answer the phone but got there a couple minutes before the opening and that worked well. The 5 table wine bottle is a great concept and we clearly made the best of it. Pasta alla bettona (vodka tomato sauce) was incredible, and good florentine steak. Waiters were the best and good tiramisu.

This family owned restaurant is truly exceptional! It captures the essence of authenticity in every way. The Pane e Coperto pasta was hands down the best I had during my entire trip to Italy. Outstanding service topped off an unforgettable experience.

Went here twice during a 3 day trip to Florence. Dont skip out on the penne alla bettola. Best dish on the menu, dare I say best pasta in Florence? The atmosphere is very homey, service is quick and kind, and prices are good as well. 100% recommend the penne alla bettola and a trip to this beautiful restaurant next time in Florence!
