Osteria Fiorentina

The experience was absolutely amazing, from the food to the service and the attention to detail. A special mention goes to the Fiorentina steak, which was truly exceptional and absolutely worth it on its own. The ambience was lovely and romantic, making the entire experience even more special. Everything was perfect, and a heartfelt thank you to the Italian waiter who made us feel at home and made our experience even more enjoyable.

I booked this delightful trattoria for my LO 18th and it delivered. The service and cosy atmosphere were fantastic. Staff were attentive, helpful and friendly, with spot on suggestions throughout the evening. The food was delicious, the complimentary bread and the fresh basil oil was so good and really tempting to have more. To start: - Panzanella - gentle nudge by our waiter when we couldn't decide, and it was beautiful - fresh, vibrant, and full of flavour. - Dough balls - not quite the style I was expecting, but still good. - Cold meats - hard to go wrong with a meat board, the accompanying jam was perfect. For mains: - Pappardelle al ragu - both LO and OH fav - rich, comforting, and perfectly cooked. - Seafood pasta - predictably chosen by the OO, and it did not disappoint. The sauce was delicious, with a generous amount of seafood in every bite. - Rigatoni - OH and I couldn't decide between the tortelli or rigatoni. Help was at hand again and we went for the rigatone. How happy was I? The simple, fresh flavours were incredible. Another suggestion, we opted for the meat market t-bone instead of regular mains. The steak was cooked exactly to our liking. We probably could have gone for a bigger cut as there was a fair bit of fat, but that just left room for dessert! I had the chocolate cake which was incredibly dense and wasnt quite to my liking, I probably should have listened to my inner voice when I saw it was vegan. OH had the tiramisu and I just about managed to steel a small bite before he scraped it all clean. The limoncello and biscotti was a nice end to a lovely meal.

Great spot in Chelsea with amazing food. Service a bit on the slow side and they do not have GF bread which prevents you trying their olive oil if you have problems with gluten. Loved the tagliata with wild mushrooms.
