Inspired by the flavors of Florentine cuisine, as well as that of Tuscany, famous all over the world, Brandolino based his secret of simple and natural ingredients, even if we are poor, local products, which enhance easily the passion of the preparation.

The food is delicious. I probably had the best dish here during my whole stay in Florence. Loved it. The staff is friendly, the restaurant is beautiful and well situated. However, itâs really expensive for relatively small quantities in comparaison to other restaurants Iâve been in Florence and Italy. We had a really nice time there but I think itâs a bit too expensive. Iâd recommend!

Run by young locals who grew up in the meat industry, these guys are passionate about their food and it shows in the way they present and deliver their menu. The food itself is absolutely delicious, particularly the meats. The waiter is knowledgeable and assists you in pairing wines with the meal. All in all, an amazing experience, away from the tourist traps, highly recommend!

Locale moderno e giovanile dove mangiare e bere ascoltando musica in vinile

We found Melloo while searching for a place for dinner on our first night in Florence. We were staying close at a hotel close to the river, so we needed to take a cab to get there. The owner was friendly and very helpful to us in selecting which pizza to order and in choosing a beer to go with it. And the pizza was amazing, along with the craft beer. Everything was fresh and tasty. We even topped it off with a cannoli with pistachios for dessert, and the owner was even kind enough to call a taxi for us. Thanks for a wonderful dinner!Thank you so much for your review!it was very nice to have you as a guest at melloo.When you return you will be welcome as always.

We were warmly greeted, advised and helped by the owner who made the effort of speaking French with us. He also had menus in a lot of different languages which is very rare. My first time trying panini wasnât disappointing at all, it was delicious! Cheap, tasty, made with quality ingredients and large portion too! Bread was crispy, there was a lot meat (not too much bread). Also very well-located in Florence. I can only recommend and would totally go again and try other panini and boards/plates. Thank you!!
3. SENZ'ALTRO Bistrot

Reviewed By xpatsuitcase
We arrived a bit early and the restaurant was empty. They had a problem with the credit card machine and let us know we would have to pay by cash. That was ok for us, and as the restaurant filled (with many locals) it was ok for many. Sensz Altro serves food beyond the ordinary, served more like a michelin starred restaurant than a neighborhood bistrot. The choices on the menu are not large and it would be a poor choice for a picky eater, but for a foodie....go for it!

Pizza ( and more... )
Reviewed By EdithHD C
My friends and I have been going to this little pizza place during our stay. You choose the pizza you want, then they weigh it and heat it in the oven. It is different from the traditional pizza, more like an open faced sandwich...fresh ingredients and friendly staff. There is a washroom,and a few high tables with stools. Go early because sometimes they sell out.

Daniele and his wife Valentina run the most incredible restaurant in the city of Florence. I always have a conversation with Daniele and he makes my experience one of a kind. They both truly care about their customers, and make the best sandwich I have ever tried in my entire life. If you are visiting Florence and are looking for a great spot for a meal, go to Mangiapepe for both the taste and the experience. This is my favorite place to eat in all of Italy, I recommend to anyone looking for a great meal and an unforgettable experience.
