Passaguai - Firenze

This little gem of a restaurant was a great find. After being in Italy for two weeks all of the menus were starting to look and taste alike. This restaurant had some fresh and innovative things on the menu. The food was delicious. Our waiter was so friendly and helpful. He made our evening truly memorable. The best part was it was easy to make a reservation through trip advisor and we got 20% off.

Perhaps I was expecting soooo much more so, based upon a locals referral, we made reservations. First of all, it was more difficult than I imagined to find the place. Tiny little venue in the center of a narrow street, not too far from Ponte Vecchio. The service was friendly but the food choices were limited. The antipasta plate that we shared was very nice but again, I was struggling to find a nice dish of pasta for my dinner. I apologize if I sound picky but when you are in Italy, you would think pasta is a staple dish in most places. Also, I have to admit, I felt a bit leery about walking through the area before we arrived.

I can still remember the delicious meal we had here! Definitely worth booking in advance, there isn’t a lot of space, and the 20% off is a nice addition as well! Service was friendly and not too imposing. Would definitely return!

Bel wine bar con un sacco di cibo.

Ordered a breaded soup, friend calamari vegetables, and medium rare steak. My guess it was a thick cut of flank, so even at medium rare, it was pretty hard to cut and of course chew on the steak. The soup was a litte cold, calamari was fine. Service was great.
