Ristorante Godi Fiorenza – Authentic Tuscan Cuisine Near Florence Duomo

Very friendly staffs and great recommendations. Feel very welcomed and warm. Food is very nice. The environment is wonderful.

Very nice, good traditional toscany Food. Also nice drinks. Have a try.

After spending three hours wandering the beautiful squares of Florence on a sunny day with my wife and our 2-year-old daughter, we were exhausted and hungry. The area around the Duomo cathedral was packed and most places were either too crowded or overpriced. While searching on Google for somewhere with good reviews, we stumbled upon what looked like a regular restaurant just two minutes’ walk from the Duomo, with inviting outdoor seating. We decided to give it a try — and I’m so glad we did! We were welcomed by Edi (thankfully he spoke perfect English — my broken Italian would have failed me in that moment of heat and hunger). Both my wife and I are huge pasta lovers, so we took a chance and ordered two portions of Carbonara. We were slightly nervous after a disappointing Carbonara experience the day before, but this time we struck gold — it was honestly the best Carbonara we’ve ever had! We also shared a truffle bruschetta, which was delicious, and the Aperol Spritz hit the spot perfectly on such a hot day. The service was impeccable, the staff were genuinely friendly, and the prices were fair for the location. If you’re near the Duomo and looking for great food, a refreshing drink, and a place that feels welcoming and unpretentious, look no further. Highly recommended!

Stayed 3 days in Florence and on our first day stumbled across this absolute gem, and actually our favourite in all of the several places we visited. Firstly the staff are excellent and extremely welcoming. We were very well tended to the whole time. The food, genuinely - best I’ve had in a number of years. The antipasti was the best I’ve had, you could just taste the quality of the salami and cheese. The Florentine steak, we had a few, was not only the best value but the taste was incredible. The mean was perfectly cooked and genuinely melt in your mouth. The potatoes are a must. Aperol and coffee - spot on. Didn’t have a bad word to say. The kitchen itself tells you all you need to know about this place, it was spotless and they had absolute pride in their work. I would urge anyone to come out of the centre and visit here.

Honestly the best steak we had in Tuscany, me and my wife finished it in 6 minutes. We tried other steakhouses that were highly rated and honestly it wasn’t nearly as good. We also liked how we could have the option of medium rare/rare and the appetizers + pasta were super good too.

The food was amazing! It is definitely worth it to walk 5 minutes outside of the main plaza to have a great meal. The Rigatone Alla Carbonara is a must have and you cannot leave without trying the tiramisu.

Three things: 1) Mattia is an informative, energetic, and extremely considerate as our server. 2) The tartare and ALL the food was soooo good, we had to sit in silence while eating so we can fully enjoy how the perfect it all tasted!!! Woooooow! The Chef’s menu items are among best I’ve ever had! 3) atmosphere here is stunnnnnning! The greenery, the walls, the decor! This place is a vibe! IF YOU NEED A PLACE TO EAT, RUN… don’t walk. You will not find much better :) Thanks Mattia!!!

Saved myself all day for the famous Steak ala Fiorontina and this place held up its end of the bargain. Great service from Mateo and the staff. The baked potatoes and house Chiati are excellent also. Not over priced. Do yourself a favour and go. And when a place is terrible I'll review as is. Cheers
