La Giostra | Florence neighborhood restaurant


The best pasta I've ever eaten... La Giostra is a neighborhood restaurant within walking distance of the Duomo. We had dinner there one night during my stay in Florence, and I absolutely loved my meal — spaghetti with seafood in a slightly spicy white wine sauce. The pasta was obviously freshly made and just perfectly prepared. Although I usually eat only a portion of each course when I'm on a Fam trip, I ate every bite of this dish. It was worth every calorie!

La Giostra is a scene — every table full, not the fastest service in the world, but crowded, noisy, and popular for a reason: great food! It's open for lunch (on weekdays) and dinner every night from 7 p.m. and has great wines (and waiters who know them). La Giostra in Florence is located on Borgo Pinti, the concierge at your hotel can take care of reservations.
