We came for a quick casual lunch and enjoyed the food, service, and atmosphere so much that we had to come again for dinner the next night. The restaurant location is in an area that was not overbearing with the tourist hustle. We started with the best minestrone soup my wife and I have ever had. We ordered a bowl to share and they split the soup into two smaller bowls without asking. Much appreciated. Pasta carbonara for me was delicious, creamy, rich, and the fresh pasta was amazing. My wife loved her pasta as well. Tiramisu for dessert hit the spot with a limoncello to finish it off. The atmosphere is vibrant, rustic, and feels of Tuscan tradition. We truly believe anyone who visits Florence should come try Chef Enrico’s magic for themselves. Thank you for the experience.

The BEST meal we had in Florence. The risotto was incredible and best we have had. The Cacio Pepe was also amazing. The spritz and bruschetta deal was great too for €7. Everything about this meal was just fantastic. Bonus points as the chef actually came out and spoke to us which was a nice touch! You can tell they really care about their restaurant and the impression they give.

Trattoria da chef Enrico is a place not to be missed. The location was very close to the Duomo, cozy vibes. The food was perfect, everything was tasty, the pasta with truffles I had was very tasty, the types of meat cooked very well. We felt like we were at home, the staff was very welcoming and ready to help us with anything we needed, we also met two Albanians who were part of the trattoria on the staff. Whenever we are in Florence we will come back to have such a good time. Faleminderit shume

A simply outstanding restaurant. The food was delicious and the prices were fair (my mother still dreams about the tomato soup!). The service was impeccable; everyone was so pleasant and kind. We were even treated to a complimentary Limoncello! My only regret is not having taken photos of all the dishes. (From, Brazil)

Visited on our first lunchtime in Florence during a 5 day stay and ended up eating there three times. A very enjoyable experience with great food and friendly staff.

Had an AMAZING steak here. It came out really rare and initially worried me but it cooks on the plate into a beautiful medium rare/medium depending on how long you leave it. And it is such a cool experience, they light your plate on fire. Had some great bruschette as well and I recommend the red house wine. A fun and unique experience in Florence, although definitely come with friends as the minimum order amount for steak is 1.2kg Not cheap but worth it!
