We had read some good reviews and were excited to celebrate our last night in Florence here. We were not disappointed in the quality of the food. Unfortunately, the prior reviews of the owner being rude and condescending were all true. We arrived at an empty restaurant at 9 pm and ordered our first course of pasta. When I reached over to try some of my wife's pasta, the owner snickered and told some sort of a joke to the incoming Italian patrons, after which they laughed at us. We then tried to order our second course, to which the owner refused to take the order, instructing us to "slow down" in a condescending tone. When he finally did come back to take our order (20 minutes later), he acted as if he was doing us a favour in taking our order. After dinner, I tried to order a coffee with my dessert. The response? You guessed it: "SLOW DOWN!" This time, even more condescending than the last. To boot, he came out with two coffees, and then had the gall to turn his eyes up when I explained to him that I had only ordered one.
It is a pity that the owner's ego is the only thing ruining what could be a top 10 restaurant in Florence otherwise. A real shame.
