praticamente vicino alla cattedrale, accoglienza straordinaria, il proprietario di una simpatia più unica che rara e ciò che è più importante è la qualità del cibo! pappardelle al cinghiale e taglio di manzo e filetto straordinariamente oca e tenera! Ho ancora l'acqua in bocca!

Decided to have dinner after reading good reviews. We have been in Italy for two weeks and this was our first mistake. Menu offers risotto but dish is made with rice. And pretty sure the shrimp served with it were not fresh. But if you are looking for a budget meal, this is your place.

We had a wonderful lunch at Zio Gigi. The staff was welcoming and attentive, and Gigi himself came out to great all the guests. I told him we had eaten at his restaurant 4 years ago and it remains top of our lists of favorite places to enjoy authentic Italian cuisine. Most of the patrons were locals, which made the meal even more enjoyable. For us, it's a must do in Florence. The servings are plentiful and the prices right. Lunch is now a fixed price at €12, and you choose a primo and a secondo course, plus a side. Our table of three picked 1) lasagna, Florentine rabbit and potatoes w/broccoli ; 2) Emmer salad, Florentine rabbit and peas Florentine style; and 3) pasta w/ Sicilian pesto and s... View menu
