I can't remeber the exact price, but for around 10-15 euro each, you get enough delicious food to keep you satisfied all the through the Uffizi. We saw several other interesting places to eat on this street, but we stuck with Contadino. We will make it a stop each time we go to Firenze. More

Just as everyone else says, this is the best deal for dinner in Florence. It seems to be a local institution, although it's now equally popular with tourists. This is a place where co-workers and friends meet to grab a good meal. For 13 euros, you get a first course, a main course, a vegetable side plate and wine. You... More

The food is lovely, seasonal and authentic. No messing service, very quick and friendly. So very cheap, you think theyve got the price wrong at first. But they must keep the cost down by serving so many people. When we were there on one of the two nights we went we shared a table with two train drivers who had... More

We just enjoyed a great dinner at Trattoria il Contadino. As other reviewers have mentioned, it is well worth showing up earlier (7:30ish) so you don't have to wait for a table. We arrived just after 7:30, got a table right away, but then saw people waiting outside for a table the whole time we were eating. Recommend you study... More

The Restaurant is amazing! very nice family (the waiter actually calls the cook dad- "pappy's tomato soup") and the food is great! It's the best value place we've been to and maybe the best food we had in Italy (and we've been here a month). -note that everybody has to order the menu, we wanted to go some day but... More

So glad I made the effort to eat at this restaurant despite it being closed(Sunday) on my first attempt and arriving too late (9pm) on my second. Authentic food, mostly locals; attentive wait staff that all spoke enough english and explained each course and the price up front; best price for three course meal with wine, water and cappuccino -...

This place definitely lives up to the positive reviews it gets on tripadvisor! We loved it much the first time, we had to go back on a second night because it is the best value one can get in Florence and tastes great too! An extra euro for a caraffe of wine doesn't hurt either. If you are looking for... More
