About Osteria La Dolce Vita Firenze
Nestled away from the busiest thoroughfares, this charming Italian eatery offers a delightful Florentine dining experience. With a stellar 4.7/5 rating from over a thousand diners, it's clear this establishment gets many things right. Diners frequently praise the expertly prepared Florentine steak and the perfectly cooked, well-seasoned pasta dishes, particularly the black truffle ravioli. The atmosphere is noted as very cute and intimate, though it can become full quickly, making reservations a wise choice. While prices are in the mid-range ($$), the quality of the food and wine, along with the authentic feel, makes it a memorable stop for those seeking genuine Tuscan flavors.

4.7 / 5.0(1,069 reviews)
I found this restaurant from a Reddit recommendation and we gave it a try for some Florentine Bisteca. I liked that it wasn’t on the main strip of tourist restaurants, but not far everything. Very cute, great Bisteca, but pricey. Enjoyed the meal, wine and black truffle ravioli. We made reservations in advance. The pasta was perfectly cooked and seasoned and the wine was great. There’s not much more to say, they get everything right here. The dining room is very small and was full the entire time we were there so a reservation is probably best. Very tourist style restaurant in Florence, friendly service and good atmosphere but food was a real disappointment! Pasta carbonara was way too salty and beef slices drenched with mushroom sauce. After my Prato culinary experience, this is a real let down........ not too sure if other restaurants in Florence are the same??

I had a beef ragu and hugo spritz. Both were really nicely prepared - the beef particularly melted in my mouth and was very flavourful - would recommend. There was no queue for lunch and plenty of spaces available.
