Osteria del Milione in Metropolitan City of Florence

"My local friends brought me here on a Wednesday night, and it was such a wonderful surprise. Perched on a little mountain above Florence, the restaurant has a beautifully lit courtyard that sets the tone as you walk in. At night it felt magical, but I imagine the daytime views would be even more spectacular. We sat inside, where the service was warm, friendly, and perfectly attentive. Everything ran smoothly from start to finish—we never had to wait. The staff even brought out the Bistecca alla Fiorentina before cooking it, which made the experience feel extra special. We shared la degustazione per 2 persone, the house-style mushroom risotto (risotto alla maniera del ‘Milione’), the famous Florentine steak, roast potatoes, and sautéed spinach. Every dish was packed with flavor and beautifully prepared. It was a truly memorable evening, and I’d love to return one day to explore even more of their menu. A gem just outside Florence that’s well worth the hype."

"The food, venue and atmosphere is exceptional. One of the best restaurants I’ve experienced in Italy. And it’s well priced considering the quality of what you get. I had some steak from the bbq, and it was perfection. The side dishes have simple presentation with wonderful flavours. I knock one star off on service wasn’t as attentive as it could be - I had to call the staff over quite a few times to move the evening on, but staff were all polite and accommodated my attempts at Italian. As other reviews mention, tourists do appear to be seated under the tree away from the views, but it didn’t bother me. Italians were seated there too when I was there, and there are views everywhere around - you can walk for 10 seconds to see a view. If I was a regular guest, whatever my nationality, I expect I would get bumped up to a better seat! Thank you."

"Perfect Tuscan small-town atmosphere! Restaurant is independently owned, bit located on the property of a 120 acre estate. You can access it from the street or you can access it from inside the olive orchards. The back of the restaurant that can be rented from the main estate. The Faktori Il Milione estate itself is from 1300's and has apartments & rooms that make you feel like you stepped back into 16th century!"

"We visited this Restaurant during our stay at fattoria resort. It s authentic tuscan restaurant. Great atmosphere both inside and outside. Staff excellent - we just walked in only for desserts without reservations. They accommodate all 7 of us and provided excellent service. . We enjoyed chess cake, wine & biscotti, panacot of the day. It was so delicious. You get to see whole city litted from the top."

"Perfect moment ! Great place we loved the atmosphere and our meals were amazing ! Grazie mille"

"Amazing food with some unique choices. Fried polenta topped with ragu, and the cheesecake were to die for. Great service and atmosphere, and amazing view of the city below."

"Beautiful view and wonderful food! I stayed with the il Milione Hotel on the same property and went here for dinner. I tried the zucchini flan, the Beef with truffle, and the stuffed rabbit. The food was delicious. The view was so good that I returned the next morning for sunrise. Beautiful!"

"One of the best dining experiences I’ve had. Such a warning staff, plus it is a family owned restaurant, vineyard, & estate which sits in the hills outside of Florence overlooking the city. Delicious food, amazing family atmosphere. We did not see any tourists, it was a special experience. Definitely coming back."
