About this restaurant
Good for special occasions
Fancy
Charming
Located just a few meters from the Duomo in Florence, Regina Bistecca is a restaurant dedicated to the true “bistecca alla fiorentina” and traditional Florentine food culture. For over 140 years the same address has been the location for the antiquarian bookseller Gonnelli, which has been in the same family for four generations and has now relocated. Although nowadays offering something different, the objective was to preserve and maintain the unique atmosphere of a historical place in which to offer a gratifying experience merging food, art, and history.

The Walter forget the wine and the Meat want médium raro, it was rare. We told them but instead ok aknowledge they start to discuss. There is no discusión when on that it's clear when the meat is not in the right point.

Was a quick bite so had the cheese burger. The cheese used was to over powering.
In the past had the steaks & they were always great.

Ho scelto questo ristorante perchè avevo in visita un amico straniero che voleva mangiare la bistecca e tutto sommato si è rivelato una buona scelta. La cosa che mi è piaciuta di più è stato lo staff che è stato tutto davvero molto gentile e accogliente, quella che mi è piaciuta di meno è stata la distanza inesistente tra i tavoli: avevamo un tavolo da due a sinistra e uno a destra ed è stato come cenare insieme ad altre quattro persone. Si tratta comunque di un ristorante che consiglierei.

Great atmosphere and service. Maybe sacrilegious to say, but the steaks were average when compared to some of the more famousUS steakhouses. Great appetizers though!

The food was delicious and the service was disappointing. This was a birthday celebration that was communicated to the restaurant in advance, and it was disappointing that it wasn’t even acknowledged. Service was spotty at best. There were people who came in 15-20 minutes after we did who received their entrees before we did. We won’t return.

We had a great experience, like that we got the option to see and choose the bistecca fiorentina already cut and weighed. Great atmosphere and the food was one of the best of all the restaurants that we tried in our stay.
