"This review is combined with the review for Osteria del Pavone . Came in for dinner without reservation, what a mistake on the weekend, and asked for a table for 2. The owner suggested that we sit at the bar since there was no free table. The bar looked like a counter, and it looked like he was in the middle of balancing his books or something, but since we like to sit at the bar for dinner we thought it would be interesting and said yes. He than took us to the back of the restaurant, through the kitchen and through a small door into a different room, with a big beautiful bar, waiters dressed in suits, and soft music in the background. This was Osteria del Pavone . Apparently the two restaurants are connected and they have an agreement that Bianco 's customers can sit at the bar at Pavone if there 's no room. So we got the food from Bianco and the service and drinks from Pavone . Hence the combined review. We started our meal with a platter of meats and cheese, served with 2 crostinis with liver patè. The meats were amazing, good quality of Tuscan sausage and prosciutto, and a good quality cheese. The patè was also great, served on a good piece of bread. Next we had the dumplings. They are like ricotta and spinach large gnocchi. They were fantastic. The texture was soft with a real spinach flavor, all served in a puddle of melted butter. We thought about getting the onion flan but we didn 't since it comes with truffle shavings and my dinner partner doesn 't like it. But a lady next to us got it. It looked amazing and she said the taste was exquisite. We didn 't know what meat to order and the bartender suggested the beef fillet with chianti sauce. It sounded good so we ordered it. The man knows what he is talking about. The quality of the meat was super premium, served medium-rare like they do in Firenze. The meat was soft as butter and cooked perfectly, served with roasted potatoes which were perfect. But the real star was the sauce. It was a good Chianti wine, reduced, so that all the flavors are concentrated. It was the highlight of the dish. Since we couldn 't decide on dessert, we got 2 of them. One was described as dark chocolate with white chocolate and truffle. It was just that. Good quality soft dark chocolate, and good soft white chocolate, and some truffle shavings. The combination of the flavors was unique and great. They paired perfectly together. The second dessert was called bigne with caramel sauce. The dough was great and the caramel sauce was also amazing. The bigne was filled with high quality vanilla ice cream. A sweet dish to end the meal, but not too sweet. The food here is one of the best I had in Florence, and this is definitely a place that you need to visit when in town."
