It was the cherry on top our last night in Florence. The atmosphere was romantic, the food was good and Gino our server made it extra comforting. I ordered the veal osso buco, it was the tiramisu, we could do without but we wanted something sweet with out tea towards the end of the meal.

Unfortunately, this was a deeply disappointing experience from start to finish.
The restroom was in extremely poor condition — visibly dirty, poorly maintained, and unhygienic. It’s not difficult to wipe down surfaces, add new fixtures, paint over years of scuffs, dirt and makeup and design a nice bathroom. If the bathroom looks like this, imagine what the kitchen might look like.
The lack of care extended beyond the restroom. The wall next to our table had visible stains and residue, which added to the overall impression that cleanliness and maintenance were not a priority. I don’t understand how any server would seat guests next to a wall that was visibly dirty like that.
To make matters worse, we saw a cockroach in the restaurant, right beside our table. When this was mentioned to staff, the response was dismissive rather than apologetic, with the situation brushed off as “normal for Florence.” That sad excuse is simply not true. I live in Florence. I know very well that this is not standard, nor acceptable.
Service was equally disappointing. We had to ask three times for the bread to be warmed, and each time we were met with excuses, not action. We had to be very clear that putting bread in an oven is not difficult – despite being charged €4 per person for cold bread.
One dish was described on the menu as an “asparagus soufflé.” What arrived bore no resemblance to a soufflé in either structure or preparation. A proper soufflé requires aeration from whipped egg whites and should rise with a light, structured texture. This dish had no lift, no structure, and no aeration. It was closer to a loose purée or cream and was inaccurately described. Anyone who has studied food would not call this dish a soufflé.
Additionally, part of my dining companion’s order was forgotten entirely.
This restaurant presents itself as refined, but the reality is a lack of care, accountability, and basic hospitality. Between the hygiene issues, poor service, and dismissive attitude, this is not a place I would return to or recommend.

We were staying in Florence and made many plans for dinner, with the exception of this particular evening. So, we searched social media sites for options and this one looked promising, so we stopped in. First impression was that it’s beautiful, elegant, and appeared upscale. Server greeted us immediately and sat us without delay, even though we didn’t have a reservation and they were busy.
The table settings were beautiful and the décor is romantic and quaint. We had a nice table for two in the front dining room and they have these interesting small tables they place at the side of these smaller tables to accommodate other items that won’t fit on the table, such as wine, bread, or (in our case) the huge T-Bone steak they’re known for!
Our server picked a great wine to go with the steak and promptly brought it over. We did have a hard time deciding what to eat, as their menu has so many appetizing options. I knew I definitely wanted to try their Tagliolini con fonduta di pecorino a tartufo fresco – The description looked amazing and I’m currently on a pecorino and truffle kick. A couple next to us ordered the La Bistecca alla Foirentina and it looked amazing, so we opted for the same, along with a side of roasted potatoes. Our incredible server warned us that this might be a lot of food to finish and suggested we go with their half portion side of this particular pasta dish, as that’s an option, which we did.
Everything was EXCELLENT! The pasta came out right before the steak, it was piping hot, fresh, and looked amazing… smelled amazing too! Flavors were what I hoped for and dream of when I’m not in Italy, where it’s so easy to get such amazing dishes! Then the steak – OUTSTANDING! It was perfectly cooked, sliced, and served. Looked amazing and tasted even better! Those potatoes were incredibly tasty as well.
We saved a little room for dessert and enjoyed what we got. Overall, very romantic and amazing dinner to be had here – highly recommend stopping in, but make reservations!

This is by far the best dinner we had in our entire Italy trip. Our server helped us order our meal and it was perfection! We ordered the T-bone steak, Tagliolini truffle pasta, Pici Rigatoni Pasta, and a variety of desserts- just wow!!! The service was also impeccable and the atmosphere was so beautiful and romantic. Everyone was very attentive and provided us an exceptional experience. 10/10 recommend!

The atmosphere was warm and inviting. The wait staff were the perfect combination of friendly and professional, even though I am sure they get tired of tourists clumsily trying to speak the Italian language when ordering food. The presentation, texture and flavor of the food was excellent. Everything we ordered was seasoned to perfection. We will definitely return here on another trip to Florence (Firenze).

The most romantic place my wife and I ate the entire trip. The waiter gave us great food and wine recommendations and the food was spectacular! Best cooked duck I have ever had and the truffle pasta was melt in your mouth good! The whole experience was amazing. This restaurant is one that represents why you should walk away from the tourist restaurants calling for you to eat there as you walk by and instead make reservations at a place like this.

The food was excellent here, as was the wine our waiter recommended. We had one odd event where our waiter just disappeared, for the rest of the night, but the management stepped in and filled the gap nicely so all ended well

All menus are perfect. T-bone steak (the queen) is the best; good smell, delicious and beautiful decoration. Risotto, Lasagna and salad calamari & prawn are also very delicious. You can’t miss tiramisu and pannacotta for dessert. All staffs are very nice, very good service mind and do their jobs perfectionally.

I had the pleasure of having lunch at Oliviero, and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. The setting is elegant yet rooted in tradition, offering a calm and tasteful atmosphere that’s perfect for a relaxed midday meal.
I ordered the risotto and tiramisu—both were exceptional. The risotto was creamy and full of flavor, cooked to perfection, and clearly made with care and quality ingredients. The tiramisu was light, well-balanced, and a perfect sweet ending.
Service was excellent: discreet, elegant, and attentive without being intrusive. It’s the kind of refined hospitality that feels effortless but adds so much to the overall experience.
Oliviero is a true gem in Florence—ideal for a refined and authentic Italian lunch. I highly recommend it.

We had 5 in our group. We shared 1 Florentine Steak, 2 sides, 2 appetizers, and we each had a dessert. Service was wonderful. We had questions about the steak and our waiter brought out 2 steaks to describe the difference. We highly recommend this establishment and will be returning here next time we visit. Everything was delicious. It was our best meal in our 10 day adventure through Italy.
