What a great food experience for a group, we let the waiter bring us sampler plates of appetizers, pastas, salad. And dessert. The waiters are so gracious and helpful and the food is very well prepared. I take my tour groups there every time I am in Florence, as it is such a unique and pleasurable experience.

Have had another 2 great meals at Il Latini, a Florence institution, and rightly so. The food is very traditional Tuscan, and very well prepared. The steak is spectacular: minimum size is 1kg (2.2 lbs), served rare usually, seasoned and cooked to perfection, and one of the best steaks I have had anywhere - my understanding is the the meat...

Pretty good food, but not worth the 100 euros for the 2 of us, especially when we didn't drink any of the wine. We were seated with strangers, but that was actually pretty fun. Do not expect to find any locals eating here...all of us were tourists. I suspect the locals know to avoid this place. There is food of... More

Il Latini is a must if you are visiting Florence. The staff is very friendly, there is no menu and you sit family style. The waiter simply gives you some choices and you go with the flow! The Florentine steak was possibly the best steak I have had in my life. The pasta, prime rib, appetizers were all amazing. Dessert... More

Great lunch place. Florentine Steak was good . Waiters were all very good. Hear it is very crowded at night so our guide suggested we come at lunch and he was right . Well located around all the major sites.

Book before you go, because it is packed! :) Minestrone soup was amazing, so were the ravioli and the deserts. My friends tried the local specialty, bistecca, which was great! Very touristic but worth trying, definitely!!!

Dining at il Latini is an experience - it is brilliant fun, - good food and great wine (in plenty); no choices but no matter. We'd booked for 9.30pm and had to wait outside to be seated, well worth the wait! We would definitely go again.

This is a must visit restaurant when in Florence, there are two seatings, 8:00 and 9:30 (closed on Monday) - make a reservation from your hotel at least a day or two in advance, people with reservations are guaranteed a seat, arrive half an hour early. Cost is only 45 euros, includes all the wine you can drink and at... More

This must be one of the most over hyped tourist restaurants in Florence, perhaps in all of Italy.As the previous reviewers said, you have no idea what anything costs. All you get for the bill is a total cost. If you like " Country Buffet" quality of food, then this is your place. This was some of the worst Italian... More

Firstly: crowded and you have to share the table with strangers. Secondly: dinner is served without a menu, that's why you don't have any chance of estimating your check. Thirdly: food we haven't ordered had been charged on us (dessert, coffee, wine that at the begging was told to be on the house turned out to be paid by glass)... More
