Welcome to Mangiafoco Osteria Tartuferia, a delightful culinary haven nestled in the heart of Florence on Borgo Santi Apostoli. This restaurant is a true gem for any food lover, specializing in the rich and nuanced flavors of Tuscan cuisine, particularly dishes highlighted by the luxurious aroma and taste of truffles.

What truly sets Mangiafoco apart is its celebrated menu, where every dish tells a story of Tuscan tradition and innovation. Customers rave about the chicken with black truffle over potatoes, where the truffle's earthy richness perfectly complements the tender chicken. The Tuscan style ravioli, dressed in a simple yet exquisite tomato sauce, turns every bite into a melody of flavors that many patrons claim doesn't even need the touch of parmesan—it's simply perfect on its own. If you have a sweet tooth, don’t miss out on their tiramisu, often cited as the best in town—light, creamy, and decadently rich, it’s the ideal ending to your culinary journey at Mangiafoco.

This is an amazing restaurant. They serve Tuscan style food and dishes with truffles. We had the chicken with black trufle over potatoes and the Tuscan style ravioli with tomato sauce. Both dishes were excellent. The truffles in the chicken weren't overpowering. In the Raviolis, I didn't even want to add parmesan cheese for the flavor was excellent without it. To finish off, we shared a tiramisu, and I must confess that it's the first time I actually loved this dessert. It was creamy perfection.

My favourite place in Florence. Excellent food, amazing wines and no words to describe the wonderful, friendly and effective service. Love it and always come back every time I’m in Florence. For truffle lovers that is the place. Many plates with truffle but a wide variety of other sauces. Desserts never disappoint. Fabulous place.

We wanted to try a proper beef while we were in Florence. We accidentally bumped into this place and definitely remember it. Service was amazing, and the food. Oh My God. The starter was enough for 2 person. And the steak, it was I would say the best I have ever eaten. Must try place in my opinion. We haven’t had place for dessert but wondering how good are they…
