Il Giova In Firenze

Stumbled across this restaurant by chance on my first night in Florence after visiting another restaurant where the food was ok. This place was so busy, every seat inside and outside was taken - so I thought to myself I’ll be back again on my last night. This restaurant, their food did not disappoint! ✨ We didn’t have a reservation, so we got there at 7:30pm, in hope we will get a table for 3 people and we did! 🤩 For food we ordered the following: Fried duck egg with truffle Pasta with truffle Pasta with clams Pasta with white rabbit sauce Rabbit Beef with mushrooms (not pictured) Tiramisu The pasta dishes were incredible. I ate the pasta with truffle and pasta with clams - they were just so good. Cooked to perfection and the flavours were just right. 🤤 My friends who ordered the pasta with white rabbit sauce, rabbit and beef with mushrooms all praised how delicious the food was! We paired the food with limoncello spritz (it was strong the drink! 😅) and ended the dinner with classic tiramisu which was just as delicious! Service was friendly and attentive. The man (wearing with glasses) who served us was very lovely and funny! This restaurant is away from the hustle and bustle of Florence therefore a lot of the diners are local and I can honestly see why they are so busy because the food is incredible. This whole meal will live rent free in my head forever and I hope to be back again to eat at this restaurant again!

Small restaurant with few tables (better to book) but also very welcoming. We ate a delicious first course, mouth-watering tripe and my husband a fish risotto. The menu is not very rich but it satisfies everyone. The staff is professional and welcoming at the same time. For us to recommend, a home-made experience of good food prepared by a real Florentine family

Great, actually an unspectacular trattoria. But everything is just right here. Reservations!!

Fun little restaurant with top quality. The fillet with onions is to die for! Thank you for the lovely evening!

Away from the heavily touristed restaurants, this is a gem of a restaurant with excellent Tuscan beef dishes. I highly recommend it.

The best tiramisu is here! Definitely try it! Otherwise there are changing dishes, all very tasty. Be sure to reserve in advance.

Fantastic food, great atmosphere, and friendly owners. Can't wait to go back!

Traveling the world eating food, Il Giova has officially made it to my #1. Local as you can get, and you truly feel at home. The food is made with love, and whatever you choose, it will be hard to find something that can beat this level of local love for the best Italian food.

Ottima materia prima, locale piccolino e accogliente. Buon rapporto qualità /prezzo. Consigliata la prenotazione.

La migliore trattoria di Firenze per qualità del cibo e del personale! I'm ottima posizione, si mangia super bene e con prezzi veramente onesti.
