  On my most recent family trip in Italy I noticed that restaurants, osterias and trattorias take themselves very seriously, seeing themselves as defenders of Italian culture, history and professionalism. This pride animates the proprietors of ALL my favorite restaurants in Italy. In one case, on a recent trip (not Cammillo), the restaurant had no record of my reservation and was overbooked for the evening, but insisted that we would eat there anyway after I told the owner the other places we were eating on the trip. He wanted us to experience HIS interpretation of Italian food, in friendly competition with others.
  
  Which brings me to Ristorante Cammillo. One feels in good hands here. The professionalism is clearly evident without the stuffy artifice one sometimes sees in cities with lots of fancy Michelin-starred eateries.
  
  The food here is delicious and straightforward. We started with fried whatnots, moved to tortellini and tagliatelle and then roast chicken and beef, and ended with custard tarte and berry pie. They are pros here. Highly recommend. Best meal in Florence for us.

  Still one of our favorites, but we didn't order all that optimally on our latest visit. We got the cheese assortment, burrata with anchovies, tortellini in cream sauce, spaghetti with garlic and cherry tomatoes, chickpeas, trippa fiorentina, and the flourless chocolate cake. We really liked everything, but we didn't get any of our biggest hits from last time (besides for the cake) -- they didn't have their chickpea soup with pasta, and we thought we were getting the spaghetti with tomato sauce again, but it was a bit different. I really wanted to try the tripe, and while I liked it, I don't think I'd feel a need to get it again. Next time around, I might want to try their steak, and certainly will try different pastas.
  
  We were going to go back for a second dinner but ended up leaving Florence a couple days early. We'll be back to do it right next time we're in town though.

  Really cool atmosphere. Good food.
  
  I ordered the rabbit and chips.
  
  The rabbit was not too fatty and was tender and juicy. The breading was light. The flavor was very simple, reminiscent of chicken mcnuggets.
  
  The chips were freshly fried, crispy. Also these had a very simple flavor.
  
  Overall the dish was very simplistic and lacked flavor complexity. But, it was good for what it was.
  
  The tiramisu was very custard heavy. The amaretto lightly glazed soping heaps of custard and lady fingers.
  
  This place was primarily locals and had excellent friendly service. The food was also fairly good.

  I may seem to only have a few check in's here but if I actually checked in every time I've eaten here, I would be the Duke-ess. I've been coming here for twenty years, and it never fails to satisfy. From the pecorino brûlé to the lombatina di vitello or petti di pollo al curry (with house made Mango chutney) to the tiramisu ai cachi this is a wonderful place to eat. Please, leave your children elsewhere. This is an intimate white table elegant place. We want to enjoy it without your screaming child. Take them to a pizzaria. Of course, children are welcome here.
  
  The wine list is extensive and varied. I had my very first Amarone here. The staff is just the best - they are kind, multi-lingual, efficient, informative, accommodating and knowledgeable. Sunday's are mad but come anyway!
  
  Closed Wednesdays.

  A last minute reservation, we booked at about 3 in  the afternoon for that night, table for 5. They gave us the "Chef's Table" which meant it was by the kitchen, and it was wonderful. I don't recommend waiting to the last minute for reservations, but it worked out for us.
  
  The food was excellent, menu was in English and Italian, waiter was attentive without being annoying, like all good European wait staff are.
  
  I had veal with artichokes, wonderful, had to dig under the artichokes to get the meat. Also sauteed leeks, others had pasta everything was tasty.
  
  House red topped it all off. Being next to the kitchen was fun to see the prep, the teamwork and interaction by staff and chef's.
  
  Enjoy this place, I will return next time I am in Florence.
