Reviews

We LOVED everything about this restaurant. My husband had the meat stew in a wine sauce with potatoes and lasagna. I had the De Campione sandwich along with the sangria. Probably the best sangria we have had. This was our favorite restaurant in Florence and won’t miss it the next time we visit. The lady cashing us…
