La Piazzetta
About
La Piazzetta, founded in 1985, is a bustling Tuscan steakhouse and pizzeria located in the historic heart of Florence. Steeped in a rich family tradition, the restaurant showcases the authentic flavors of Tuscany, from the world‑renowned Bistecca alla Fiorentina grilled over open fire to homemade sauces, specialty salumi, and versatile wood‑fired pizzas. The building itself dates back to the early 1900s, originally a colonial stable, and has been lovingly restored to preserve its rustic charm while providing modern comforts such as air conditioning and an expansive outdoor terrace. Guests can savor a menu that reflects seasonal harvests—impeccable porcini tagliatelle, ribollita, and the legendary Grande Spiedo—alongside an extensive wine list featuring both local rosés and renowned Chianti. Each dish is prepared with locally sourced ingredients and is accompanied by an attentive service that balances warmth and efficiency. Whether you dine for a casual lunch, a romantic dinner, or a hearty feast with friends and family, La Piazzetta offers a convivial atmosphere that has made it a local favorite for over six decades. The interior design harmoniously blends historic details with contemporary flair, while the spacious outdoor terrace provides a relaxed setting during warm evenings.
