Osteria della Galleria: Reviews & Ratings
We had a nice romantic dinner sitting right in front of Palazzo Pitti. The food and the atmosphere were perfect and the service was professional with a warm smile. Highly recommended.
visited this bar about a week ago, and I have to say the experience was excellent. The atmosphere was really nice, the place was clean, and everything felt well taken care of. But the highlight of my visit was definitely the service. My waiter, Leana, was absolutely amazing. She had great communication, was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect throughout my time there. She brought such a positive energy that it genuinely made the experience even better. You can tell she really cares about her guests and loves what she does. Overall, fantastic service and a great place to relax. I’ll definitely be coming back!
Service was great. 68eur per 1kg for the florentine steak. Not a tourist trap even though its located in front of the palace
I am now Bianca post this dinner. Shoutout Tony for being honest about the KG of Florentine steak and showing us before putting on the grill. I shared 2KG steak with my bestie and had the best time. Bianca wine and limoncello shots to end the meal made it the perfect pregame before going out on Limoncello.
Such a beautiful restaurant! The staff was very kind, friendly and welcoming! I had a ham cheese and mushroom pizza that was to die for! And of course had several aperol through the secret aperol window!! Beautiful historic views, an amazing selection of food and drinks, and the perfect service! I highly recommend and will definitely be back!
Food, ambiance and the team were amazing. Leana knew her wine and went the extra mile to get us to try great local varieties. Highly recommend it and thanks team.
We had just wrapped up a photoshoot that stretched past lunchtime, and luckily, the restaurant was right in front of where we were shooting — perfect timing. The moment we walked in, the staff greeted us with warm smiles and were incredibly accommodating despite the late hour. We ordered a classic pizza Margherita, chicken, and spaghetti with clams — simple dishes, but each one was cooked beautifully and full of flavor. The meal paired perfectly with a glass (or two) of their house white wine, crisp and refreshing. We capped everything off with dessert, classic tiramisu, cheesecake and espresso! which was an absolute highlight — the kind that makes you forget how full you already are. It was one of those unexpectedly perfect meals that turn an ordinary day into a memory.
One of the best in Florence! My girlfriend and I stumbled upon this place while walking by the Piazza dei Pitti at night. We were looking for a table outside but everything was full. The store manager Toni came up to us and insisted a table would be open in less than 5 minutes. He gave us a complimentary Prosecco and the table was ready before we could finish our drinks. We ordered the house special Gran Tagliere de'Pitti (cold cut platter). This platter was advertised for two people but as you can see in the picture it could easily feed 3-4 adults. Everything on the platter was absolutely delicious and fresh! I couldn't stop eating it. We also ordered pastas, I had the carbonara which was rich and flavorful. However we were told by other guests that this restaurant is best for their steaks, so we will be going back soon for a bistecca for two. Thank you Toni for the great experience.
