Salvatore!!! Best waiter ever. This place has delicious food/steak and seafood. I had the seafood pasta and my friends split the steak. Air conditioned outdoor space. Limoncello at the end of an exceptionally delightful dining experience. Will definitely be back the next time I'm in Florence.

Florence is beautiful. So is steak. Gustavino speaks steak.
This restaurant near Piazza della Signoria and Palazzo Vecchio in Firenze proudly displays aging raw steak in its storefront windows plus a menu with multiple pages of steak choices ... which makes Gustavino a popular choice for locals and travelers to steak out in Florence.
So, I got a steak. The Bistecca nella Costola (Grilled Bone-in Ribeye Steak) prepared medium-rare to be exact. It was good. It was not amazing. Of course, good Italian steak is ... good steak. Capeesh.
Two local twists on Italian favorites carried more flavors. One was Ossobuco di vitelli alla Fiorentina con funghi porcini (Florentine veal shank braised with porcini mushrooms) with very tender meat carrying a powerful porcini punch. A creamier and almost too rich starter was Gnochetti fatti a mano con crema di gorgonzola e noci (Potato Gnocchi with Gorgonzola Cream and Walnuts) that would been perfect as a half order.
Relaxing at our table with a bottle of merlot (Ca' Stele) while dipping fresh bread in Gustavino Extra Virgin Olive Oil was nice, but even nicer was ... steak ... Gustavino steak in Florence. -

Second time in Florence... I don't know how we missed this spot the first time but definitely the best steakhouse in all of Italy! Service is phenomenal and steak melts in your mouth.. what more can you ask for?
You would be doing yourself a disservice by skipping out on this restaurant.. definitely worth a visit, if not twice during your stay! Ask for Klevis - super friendly, awesome, very accommodating! Even took shots with us and allowed us behind the kitchen to take photos with the steak selection prior to lighting them up!
Limencello on the house as well! -

A decent steak house in the heart of Florence.
I was disappointed with the beef stew I got. Expecting an actual stew with potatoes and vegetables, all I got was six large pieces of beef. It was good and the right texture, but who can eat that much beef without any veggies or carbs? Not to mention every bite had peppercorn. Ugh.
I'd say stick with the safe option and go with pesto fusilli.
My friend got a gnocchi that again had good texture but very weird flavors.
Our waiter Klevis was super cute, flirty, and gave us free wine. He was the best part of the experience. Only downside was that he blackmailed us into leaving a good review on TripAdvisor.
The atmosphere was great and very romantic. -

The meat lasagna is one of the best dishes I have ever had! The waiter was so kind and the house wine was one of the best in the area
