Back to Trattoria dei Quattro Leoni Best pasta I ate in all of Italy My friend & I loved this place. We were told to go there 'if you like good food' by another couple at a fairly ho-hum restaurant - they were so right! We ate outside on one evening in the little courtyard, and loved the food so much we went back for lunch the next day.
Reviewed by: Jane from on Jan 15 2009 Quattro Leoni - Thumbs Up! I can very enthusiastically recommend Quattro Leoni for any visitor to Florence. Friendly service, innovative food, fun atmosphere. It was a positive experience all the way. We got involved in pleasant conversation with people at 2 other tables - a family from Kansas City & a couple from Canada.

The only big expensive thing was the mineral water. Make sure and visit their website to make a reservation. Also, try the appetizer's all were fantastic. If you go early like 6 pm it's easier to get a table.

Reviewed by: Willie from on Jan 17 2008 What a find! We were staying around the corner in the Palazzo Belfiore and stumbled onto this place. It was the best food, best service and best value we experienced in our two week trip to Italy. Great outdoor seating in a little piazza. Proves my wife's theory that the farther from big hotels and big piazzas you go, the better the experience. The fiochetta with pears and asparagus was unbelievable.

Reviewed by: A Yahoo! Contributor from on Jul 01 2007 Christmas Eve We went there Christmas Eve---without reservations. We were politely asked if we would promise to be out in 2 hours to make room for reserved spots and we of course agreed. I had a risotto with octopus---it was as tender and tasteful as any dish I've ever had. Period. The 'vino locale' that our waiter recommended was a superb match. Similar experiences were had by my wife and 2 daughters, (one of whom lived in Florence for a year and who never found a better place to dine before or since.) We went back (with reservations) on New Year's Eve and the only thing that was not as good was our waiter who simply was not as friendly and efficient as was our first waiter.But the food--from bistecca to zabaione--was spot on.
Reviewed by: Carl from on Jul 27 2006 We left quickly! Nice outdoor setting in a small piazza. But service was very rude and the lunch menu extremely limited. We could not wait to leave, although it took quite some time just to get the attention of a waiter.
