Osteria Cinghiale Bianco - Florence

Probably one of the bests pastas we’ve had in Florence. We also had the florentina steak, amazing!

Really nice atmosphere, beautiful starters. The mains were all heavily salted though, and the wild boar was swimming in oil. The staff were a little pushy with ourselves and tables either side to us as they had people waiting. Nice place to visit but considering the cost and quality of the food, I feel they really should allocate more time per reservation and not be so pushy to clear half eaten plates of food to rush you out!

The bartender is a brilliant artist and he deserves a raise! The drink he made is creative, carefully curated, delicious and beautiful. Maybe a professional bar is where he would shine. The sliced beef is a bit boring. Flavor wise, nothing noteworthy. It is not even a good cut of the beef but the dish together with the potato is $28. The potato is very delicious by the way. Truffle with burrata is interesting, but I am kind of skeptical about the burrata because it is fizzy on the inside maybe the cheese is not properly stored so it starts to ferment inside?? . I do feel like being discriminated because I was dining alone and was not allowed to get a table. This had never happened to me in my 30 day trip in Italy regardless how busy/popular/expensive the restaurant is. As a result, the bartender is overloaded by the amount of work, and I was taking much longer being kept waiting than eating. Again let me be clear, this has nothing to do with the bartender, it is the restaurant management to blame. Either hire more people or let me sit on a table and let a waiter do the job. Despite my love towards their food and drink, I will never return either alone nor with friends.

Here, after you've seen someone recommending their wobble with truffle, it quickly became one of the best dishes I had in florence! the other dishes were also very good and service was super friendly! there were so many dishes I wanted to try, can't wait to go back!

I was in italy for a whole week, and this is by far the best dinner we had. everything is extraordinary. eating is amazing, and the service is by far the best of any place we were in italia. her specificity is wild boar and is not to skip! the tiramisu is also excellent. the atmosphere is also quite unique, as the restaurant is built in a 14th century castle. it is quite small, and very popular, so they come early or expect them to wait a very long time if they 't make a reservation! but if you have to wait, they often bring you with sympathy wine so you don't give too much wine
