Trattoria da Giorgio

Great little place with nice servers. Probably the cheapest spot to try bistecca alla fiorentina. 28 euros for the steak, a side, wine and water. I ordered my steak medium rare and it came out medium well. I tried my friends steak which was perfectly medium rare and it was tender, juicy, and flavorful. The steak was very big and a great value for the price. None of us could finish the steak! I would recommend this place but the wait can be quite long, we waited an hour or so but it was worth it.

Great place to enjoy food and wine. Looks like a hole in the wall, but great food, especially the different pastas (try one with truffle and mushrooms). Meal includes a first and second course, one side dish, wine and a bottle of water all for € 14. Love to go back there again. Place gets crowded after 7:30 — 8:00

I ate here last summer. This was the best meal I’ve had in Italy. The food was so good and the atmosphere was wonderful!

After waiting for a half an hour for this place to open, we were seated and served bottled water and bread. The water, by far, was more flavorful than the bread. The bread tasted like a combination of chalk and nothing at all (I’ve learned that this is normal in Firenze, but this bed is particularly bad). QWorst bread I’ve ever had. Uh oh, I’m getting worried now.
My father and I ordered a pasta dish and they were both just OK. I can do better in my own kitchen at home. At this point, I would give it 2 stars and call it a day. Then the Secondo arrived. My father received the driest and most foul tasting chicken I’ve ever tasted. It took everything not to spit this out. How can you serve this to people. This wasn’t chicken, this was my shoe, sliced up into stringy, bite-​sized pieces. My beef stew platter tasted like something that would be served at pub trivia. The kind of meal that you get and wished that you had decided to order the burger. We didn’t take our chances on dessert. Complete tourist trap. Yuck!

Absolutely the best authentic Italian food I had in Florence. We are here on our last night and I’m sad we didn’t have more chances to go back. We were the only English speakers I heard, meaning this is a spot frequented and enjoyed by locals. For $ 14 we got a 3 course dinner that was to die for. If you get the chance, GO. Just get there early it’s small and fills up fast.

I found myself in a new place, tired, hungry, and with sore feet from wandering around all day. I wanted food that would satisfy and fuel me for another day exploring the historic streets around Florence. Trattoria da Giorgio is the perfect place for this! My fellow Unilocalers didn’t let me down!
— Easy to find
— Friendly service
— Fast food delivery
— Great value
— Packed all night
— Italian family style shared seating
My wife and I wandered inside and were sat with another pair that were already eating (family style seating) and everyone was so friendly. In this type of situation you could end up unlucky sitting next to rude people that cows, but we didn’t experience this thing goodness. We ordered some wine, chicken, pork shank and gnocchi — exactly what we needed after a long day out in-​town.
I ordered the Pork shank which was so perfectly cooked and tender that it fell off the bone with little effort. Every bite was packed with moist flavor with the pork just melting on my tongue. I was just taking my fork and shredding the pork off for little savory bites.
While white wine doesn’t pair too well with red meat, I ordered some house wine that was possibly a Pinot Grigio. It really helped to get some extra sweet and bitter flavor out of my meal.
After deciding the pork wouldn’t be enough to prepare my body for the tourist beating that was planned for the following day, I ordered some pasta. Carb load! I have never in my life had Gnocchi that was so soft and the cream sauce had a subtle yet delicious flavor. I would recommend this dish to anyone!
My wife ordered the ravioli with meat sauce which had a rich seasoning flavor to it and the ravioli was very tender. Each bite was like butter melting on your tongue. She wanted a little more protein to make up for the 14 hours wandering the streets and ordered some chicken. The chicken was a little bit salty, but as soon as it sits in your mouth for a few seconds you cannot notice.
I would highly recommend!

I loved the pasta with mushrooms in truffle dish so much i ordered a second dish. (Not kidding).
We loved this place. The prices are great too.

What can i say about this place? They are a small hole in the wall, local place that is extremely cheap. There are so many locals here and the food is made so deliciously. I can’t rave enough about the cheap price here as well. Everything I had was delicious. Choose anything on the menu and you won’t go wrong. Their prix fixe menu comes with wine as well. If I could only have one meal in florence, this would be it.

Trattoria da Giorgio is a gem. A no frills, home cooked meal consisting of two courses, a side, ¼ liter of wine, and water, all for € 14 is unbeatable. The food is fresh, cooked with love, and always different. Service is friendly, lots of locals, and the environment is inviting and warm. I have never had a dish I didn’t like here. Again, it’s no frills, so do not expect a fancy ambiance or presentation, but the food is excellent, tastes like Mom made it, and the experience of that leaves one feeling warm and content.

Come to Giorgio’s and order from the fixed meal set. No questions asked. The best meal I’ve had in Florence and at such an amazing price. GO. GO NOW. and don’t stop going because there’s so much from that menu you can choose from. AMAZING.

Decided to give this place a try after seeing the reviews on Unilocal.We were disappointed in the food; 1 plate of pasta was overcooked and the other one was undercooked (and they weren’t fresh). Broccoli was mushy, sadly. I gave it three stars because the beef carpaccio and overall value was great, but food was sub-​par for what we can have in Italy.
I suggest going to mercato centrale instead, where you can get really good food for a few more euros. The best pasta we’ve had in Florence was in a tiny stall in the basement of the mercato and it was 5 euros.

This place was memorable and such a find in Florence. They have a fixed menu where you get a first course and a main course and a ½ liter of wine for about 14 Euros dinner.
The food was delicious and you could tell there were a lot of locals eating there always a good sign. I had the truffle pasta and it didn’t disappoint and I thank my fellow Unilocalers for recommending that. Main course was pork shank which could of been 19 euros alone and was very flavorful and delicious. I was in Europe for over 3 weeks and I always think about this place. If I am ever in Florence I will definitely be back. Ciao

The staff here are friendly. Tried their bistecca alla fiorentina and it’s good!!! I’m surprised they didn’t charge our red wine. Definitely will come back and recommend this restaurant to my friend.

Who says dining in Europe has to be expensive? I had Trattoria da Giorgio bookmarked due to the rave reviews and their 14 Euro dinner meal special. The menu has a wide variety of items and includes a main, a pasta, water, soda or wine and the bread and service charge. And who doesn’t love a good deal? Hubby and I both chose the tagliatelle with truffles to start with, for the main I chose the grilled beef, and he chose the meatballs.
Bread was fine but more simple. The pasta had a very toothsome bite to it and was a good size portion. Slight truffle smell and some truffle pieces but not too much truffle taste. He enjoyed his meatballs in their light tomato sauce. The beef looked like a flank steak and was well marinaded and again bigger than what I envisioned from the description of being slices. He had some of my beef and said that the seasoning tasted kind of Asian influenced to him. Nonetheless we enjoyed the beef and it was a good meal.
Trattoria da Gigorgio is a no frills small family ran restaurant with friendly staff. They have free wifi too (password on the menu)! Perhaps we could have ordered better items that could have highlighted their menu better, but this cute little restaurant is not a destination but a place to find a comforting cheap meal as there’s other highlights in Florence. 3ish stars.

Excellent rapport qualité prix pour ce petit Resto bien sympa et authentique. Nous y avons très bien déjeuné (2services + accompagnement dans un large assortiment de plats) pour 13 euros (prix du lunch, eau et vin compris). Je le recommande vivement

Ótima comida e bom preço. Tem um preço fixo no almoço de 13 euros e jantar 14 euros que inclui primeiro prato, segundo, água e vinho. Pedimos espaguete com molho de tomate, ravioli com carne e filet e batatas coradas! Tudo muito bom! Atendimento não é bom, mas não prejudica nada ao meu ver.

I think it’s hard to find a restaurant with such good food and price together at the city center !
Lunch is at 13 € and dinner at 14 €. 3 dishes with house wine, water and bread; they are good value and taste.
The host/​server/​cashier all in one guy is so funny, i like the way he open the wine

The food in Florence and pretty much everywhere in Italy is seriously blowing my mind. It’s my first time here and I can’t stop eating.
This little gem was right next to our Airbnb and we noticed a long line of locals (always a good sign) so we put our name on the list. So glad I did! The food here is super good, simple and rustic. The meal comes with pasta or first course, main course, bread, water, and house wine. ALL FOR 14 € per person! So ridiculous. I definitely recommend checking it out if you are anywhere near the area.

This was the best and amazingly, most affordable dinner that my wife and I had on our entire honeymoon in Italy. This trattoria is walkable from just about anywhere in downtown Florence.
For 15 euros each, you get salad, a first course (pasta), main course, ½ a liter of wine (2 glasses) and bottled water.
My wife had a truffled pici (fresh pasta) that was so fragrant I could still smell truffle hours later, along with a beef stew main course that was rich and hearty after a long day of sightseeing around the city.
I had the best mushroom risotto ever, and I make really good risotto at home in the states. I think the exact words out of my mouth when I tasted it were, «Mine sucks compared to this». My main course was a monster, tender, juicy roast pork shank that was wonderfully seasoned.
Service was excellent and the recreations of famous renaissance paintings give a great feel to the place.
Again all this for 35 euros, for a dinner for 2 with tax and tip… Can you beat that? I am waiting…

Amazing food! Where else can you get wine, 1^st & 2^nd courses for only 14e! If you’re hungry YOU CANNOT BEAT THE Bistecca alla Fiorentina forking 28e!!! So amazing, be prepared too wait about 30 – 45 minutes unless you arrive early, DEFINITELY WORTH THE WAIT!

We ate here last year and loved the place. Great food, lots of it, and ridiculously cheap prices compared to the rest of Florence and its overpriced tourist traps. So we returned once again and, again, we were not disappointed!
They open for dinner at 6:30pm (lunch 12 – 2:30pm), rather early by Italian standards, but make sure you get there before 8pm unless you want to wait, even on weekdays. They have a sign-​up sheet at the entrance if all of the tables are full, so simply jot your name down if you cannot find a seat. Arriving around 7:45pm on a Wednesday night, we were quickly seated and shortly thereafter our waiter arrived with our water and a half-​liter of red wine.
The menu is fixed price, now € 13 for lunch and € 14 for dinner, a pittance for what you receive in return and there is no «ala carte» menu. For that very reasonable price, you are entitled to a ½ liter of water, ¼ liter of wine (per person/​red or white), primo (first course — pasta, soup, etc), secondo (second course — meat dish), and contorno (vegetable — salad, potatoes, artichokes, broccoli, etc). Desserts are extra, but quite cheap at € 2 for the lemon sorbet or € 3 for tiramisu, panna cotta, and cheesecake among others.
We had the homemade pasta for our primi, a bigoli (think fat spaghetti) with black truffles and mushrooms and paccheri con broccoli e salsicce (a large flat noodle in a creamy sauce of broccoli florettes and sausage). The truffle and mushroom pasta was superb with rich, earthy tones and unlike more than a few Tuscan restaurants we have been to recently, perfectly cooked «al dente». The paccheri con broccoli e salsicce had a slightly odd taste, almost as if there were tuna in the recipe (I asked and there was not). It was not bad, but it was not what I was expecting, so my wife and I swapped plates as she found it quite tasty.
For secondi we both had the scaloppine marsala e noci (cutlets, pork I believe, in a creamy marsala and walnut sauce). The meat was juicy and tender and the sauce sublime, reminiscent of a savory German «rahm» (cream) sauce and one of the best sauces I have had in recent memory. Our contorni were patate fritte (French fries), perfectly cooked — crispy and hot — and artichokes marinated in olive oil, also excellent.
The wine, a local red, was good — lightly chilled, mildly sparkling, fruity, and slightly sweet. Although very full, we could not resist sharing a tiramisu (€ 3). Coming in a rather large cup, there were layers of saviardi cookies soaked in coffee and sweet mascarpone cheese sprinkled with cocoa powder as is the tradition.
Once again, we were not disappointed. In-​fact, Trattoria da Giorgio is the «BEST VALUE» in Florence or anywhere else for that matter. You will not have a better meal anywhere in Italy for € 30 … guaranteed.

Delicious and like others mentioned — a definite ‘steal’ in terms of value. Hubby ordered the menu with the Florentine Steak (noticed others don’t normally order) and every bite was spectacular. I ordered the risotto with beets and walnuts and tripe which were also super delicious.
We also ordered 3 desserts to get the full Florentine effect: Taramisu, Pear/​Chocolate Tort and Crème Caramel. Yum, yum and yum.
Oh and the wine was a great touch!
I would highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a local feel, good food, good people at a great price!

Une nourriture excellente pour un prix ridicule. Menu pour tous avec primi et secondi et un demi litre de vin pour deux.
Des 19:30 il y a de la file mais cela tourne très vite et l’attente en vaut la peine. A l’intérieur service rapide mais pas de pression; on peut déguster son menu à l’aise. Des plats toscans succulents à des prix défiants toute concurrence !
