Pecorino and pear ravioli is to-die for! 🧀ðŸ
This was one of the highlight meals of my trip! The pecorino and pear ravioli was divine! ðŸ™ðŸ¤â€¦especially with a glass of white 😠Please ignore all the unnecessary hate and low ratings about this restaurant, if you aren’t willing to pay â
10/10 amazing service, food and all around great restaurant.
The owner is very cool. Ambiance is neat with lighting and cool decor
La Giostra was amazing with beautiful ambience and
La Giostra was amazing with beautiful ambience and delicious food. We enjoyed it so much, we came back for a second meal a few days later! Everything was lovely!
Definitely not worth the hype.
I don't really write reviews but felt this restaurant needed an honest one. Having seen this numerous times on platforms as a must do in Florence it was one I told my husband was non negotiable. We arrived for the 9.15pm sitting to be held w
5 stars 500 times over is what La Giostra
5 stars 500 times over is what La Giostra deserves!!! Dining at La Giostra was nothing short of unforgettable. Dinner reservations were hard to find and we grabbed ourselves one for lunch. Absolutely loved the experience. From the moment we stepp
Not sure this spot is worth the hype.
A few weeks in advance, we made a 9:45 reservation. They were incredibly busy when we got there and we had to wait a bit to get our table, which wasn't a big deal. But when we got seated, we were offered water and the menus. Awhile later, a wait
Woukd never return
We were so excited to return to this restaurant after 10 years from our last visit. We were disappointed and would never return again! Our waiter barely said hello and we had awful service. The bread was stale. The waiter spilled our expensive bottle
Excellent Italian Food in an Authentic Florence Restaurant
On our final night in Florence we had dinner reservations for 9:15 at La Giostra. Of course we started with a glass of prosecco at the hotel and then a second at a wine window so we were more than ready for dinner when we arrived. Upon sitting down
Overhyped
The food was decent, but the drink prices were extremely high. Very unprofessional behavior from one of the waiters who was openly flirting with a single female customer at the table next to us and brought her multiple free shots. It felt awkward and
AMAZING!
My husband saw this restaurant on Yes Chef video and boy it did not disappoint. I HIGHLY recommend making a reservation because I doubt you will get in without one. The food and service were amazing! We wanted to go back but no reservations were ava
Gorgeous evening at La Giostra
We had the loveliest night at La Giostra for our anniversary during my first trip to Florence. We were greeted really nicely and the service remained impeccable throughout - friendly, professional, warm. The restaurant is truly beautiful, an absolute
La Giostra is my favorite restaurant in Florence.
Make a reservation. Show up early and grab a drink before your dining experience. Order the pear ravioli and a steak. You won't be disappointed. This is a very special place inside and out. Buckle up, you'll kill 2- 3 hours here but ju
Top Class

Overall the food was good- but for the price point I was hoping it would be amazing! The restaurant was very cute and had a great atmosphere - and the service was good. Our first waiter was great and extremely attentive. Our tomahawk steak was cooked

Food was good IF you want to wait hour and half for your steak! I don't recommend this place at all! You can find the same food somewhere else. They just said sorry for the wait and absolutely NO accommodation!! I Don't recommend this place
Not sure this one was worth the price.
The restaurant itself was beautiful and comfortable, service was good. Food was ok but for the price we had higher expectations. Our favorite part of the meal was the complimentary apps they brought out. $20 for a spritz felt excessive. If money is n

I was really excited about this restaurant but I left very disappointed. The waiters didn't really know where they were going and they brought stuff to the wrong tables . We ordered the most popular thing on the menu, the pear ravioli and the
Everything was perfect.
The griller octopus was amazing. The portions was great. The seafood was seasoned to perfection. The pasta was delicious and the service was awesome.
AMAZING! Must GO!
We had a wonderful time at La Giostra! From the moment we entered we felt very welcomed. The wine was poured and decanted very well! The meal itself was delicious! We had the BEST tiramisu EVER! The chef was very personable and spent time speaking w
Beautiful place and Beautiful food
Some of the best food I had whilst on my trip. Incredible tiramisu! The menu was varied and the portions were huge! A little pricy but so worth it for the volume and quality of the food. The staff were friendly and helpful and the atmosphere of the
Everything is tasty
Interesting how what and where you eat can be a highlight of a visit, as this was certainly one. They started out bringing a tasty treat with breads loaded with toppings & dipping souces. We had an amazing mozzarella cheese like appetizer, the s

The service was impeccable, the waiters were constantly checking on our table even thought we were in the back of the restaurant! We got the Florentine steak and it just melted in our mouths and was enough food for 3 adults. It comes with 2 small sid
Amazing! Best beal ever! Don’t miss this place!!
I never leave food reviews but i have to! First we had reservations for July 10th but unfortunately the power was out when we arrived. Natalie was so amazing. She suggested we go have a drink at a bar around the corner . Once the power was resorted

Did not live up to hype
My wife and I had a reservation for 9:30 on a Friday night. We got there early and the hostess, Matilda, was very friendly and gave us a great recommendation for apertivos before dinner. We were seated promptly when we returned, and received a compl
Eclectic and popular!
The restaurant has an eclectic atmosphere and there is always people waiting outside… hoping to get a table! We confused our reservations but the hostess still got us in. She was marvelous. The food was great especially the goat cheese ravioli and
Fabulous.
Dinner was exceptional. The florentine steak and balsamic filet were awesome. The pastas were the best part. Service was flawless and warm. Delightful. It was a privilege to eat here. charming. Would not miss.
Food amazing, atmosphere not so much
Don’t get me wrong, the look of the place inside is so romantic with the twinkling lights and ambiance but that’s where it ends. It was SO loud in the restaurant I could barely hear the waiter and my partner. The tables were squished so close tog

The pear ravioli was the best single dish of our entire trip in Italy. Great wine selection and excellent service. The chef comes out and greets guests throughout the meal! Great date spot in Florence!
Beyond Expectations
This was a dinner but also an experience in having the chef, Alberto, literally at your table making sure everything was perfect. And it was. Such a memorable experience for all of us and I will definitely return when I am in Florence.
Very beautiful inside, but tables were a bit close
Very beautiful inside, but tables were a bit close together, not unlike many of the spots we stopped in for dinner in the area. The staff was friendly and attentive, but it was mainly English speakers in the restaurant so I can see why some call it a
Excellent food, excellent service, and the ambience was
Excellent food, excellent service, and the ambience was spectacular. Great wines! Friendly service. Could not recommend more!
We came to this restaurant after reading reviews on yelp.
I highly suggest you don't do the same thing. Florence was over run by tourists, but frankly that's not our fault. This restaurant seems to be profiting from tourists while at the same time rude to Americans. I have to say the food was good, but th

My best friend and I were here to celebrate our 10 year friendship anniversary. We booked out our reservation over a month in advance. To say we were disappointed was an understatement. Their service was extremely underwhelming. We were rushed throug
Excellent food and attentive service.
A festive and friendly environment that does not lose focus on the quality, preparation and presentation of the meal.
Amazing experience.
A hidden gem on a side villa. The T-bone steak was the best I ever had. The ravioli was as fresh as it comes. The service was perfect and the room was warm and inviting. I loved this place.
Breathtaking
This spot is breathtaking the restaurant is beautiful has fairy lights all over the ceiling The ambiance is amazing The food was fabulous you need to get their signature dish Pear ravioli it was divine. Definitely a must in Florence!
Mixed experience
Generous portions of food (including an enormous Wiener schnitzel I ordered), however the place was very hot and claustrophobic. Other osterias and trattorias have far better value for money compared to this place.
Best dinner we had !
I thought this restaurant was going to be more about the scene and the hype. More of a fun dinner out with a good vibe rather than amazing food. I was wrong. Best meal we had in Florence. Actually, best meal we had after 5 days in Rome as well. And
Amazing Experience!
Everything was delicious. It is a local place. I recommend make reservations since it is very famous for having the Authentic Tuscan flavors and refined hospitality. Under the twinkling amber lights, super romantic place I recommend it.
Natalie the hostess was amazing beyond words!! Very
Natalie the hostess was amazing beyond words!! Very attentive and helpful!! She made us feel like family!! The food and ambiance superb!! I'm so glad we got reservations in advance!! We're definitely going back when we visit Italy again!!
Exceeded our expectations! We will be back soon
We live in Florence part of the year and have been meaning to eat at La Giostra for some time. All the great reviews and Soldano's pictures with his happy patrons made it a must do. Today, my wife and I finally made it for Valentine's Day, albeit at
The food was amazing.
I removed a star due to seating. Our table was very close to another table basically touching another table. At one point, I had to stand up to let other guests to get to their table. They do bring around a complimentary appetizer. The homemade ra
Fell in love with Florence and fell in love with this
Fell in love with Florence and fell in love with this restaurant. The staff, the food and the ambiance were incredible. We loved it so much we went back twice and there is not one dish that ate that we didn't love. We will be back.
A fabulous lunch! Great variety of salads and sandwiches
A fabulous lunch! Great variety of salads and sandwiches with a beautiful outdoor seating area. The bread is the best!
Under staff which equals bad service.
We saved the best restaurant for our last day of vacation 1/4/24. The dinner was great and we really wanted dessert also, but after a very long wait we finally just got up and walked towards the door to ask for our check.
The food.
.. wow! GET RESERVATIONS! We did not have a reservation and Matilda said we could wait and she would do the best she could to get us seated (which rarely happens). 45 minutes later they squeezed us into a great spot... and the food was over the top!
Everything about La Giostra was a 10/10.
My boyfriend and I went here when I was studying abroad in Florence and it was the best meal we've ever had and amazing service. The waiter was really great and accommodating and strongly suggested the pear ravioli, which I'd had other places in Flor
Food was impeccable.
Service was nonexistent. Server never checked back. Any support staff never checked, we always had to flag them down. My first cocktail was never cleared, we had no olive oil on the table, when flatware was changed it was carelessly placed, unfortuna

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to La Giostra Firenze at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the La Giostra Firenze page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* BraveCloth47, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* BraveCloth47 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to BraveCloth47 for any questions Peter may have as BraveCloth47 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* BraveCloth47 now uses their connections at La Giostra Firenze to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If BraveCloth47 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, BraveCloth47 receives the $200 reward which is credited to BraveCloth47's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at La Giostra Firenze!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
