· Restaurant, Barbecue restaurant, Italian restaurant
· Santa Maria Novella
Neighborhood Tuscan spot with standout pastas and tiramisu, variable steaks, friendly service, and fair mid-range pricing; great if you avoid the pricier Fiorentina.
Our take
La Scarpetta delivers reliable neighborhood Italian dining with strong pasta and dessert execution and warm, knowledgeable service. However, inconsistent steak quality and occasional pacing delays prevent it from reaching higher territory. The unpretentious setting and fair pricing make it competitive with respected local favorites, though it lacks the distinction or consistency to stand among the area's premier destinations.
One caveat: Steak execution varies from excellent to cold or overdone; consider tagliata instead of Fiorentina
