Il Basilico - Florence

Florentine and courtesy. simple and welcoming place. the waiter who served us was kind, but not intrusive. we took the Florentine with baked potatoes, superb!

Quiet friendly local staff good food and with more choices

The fried polenta was amazing, same as the other plates. The staff is very friendly and fast, and the atmosphere is very pleasing. You can see the kitchen and the meal being prepared, which is interesting.

Service unbelievable. Main gentleman seemed to be running all evening. Every table filled. Noisy due to street but this seems to he the norm here in Firenze. Had the Bistecca Florentine. Definitely underseasoned. But with the olive oil on the table and salt and pepper it was very good.

Not what I expected. I loved the soup, but was disappointed by the risotto. I can make it much better at home... No one ever asked me if I wanted bread and never gave me bread, when the soup was clearly indicated WITH BREAD on the menu. Not the right way to manage customers.....
