Osteria Tripperia Il Magazzino

C De Melo★★★★★★★★★★3.04 months ago

It's been years since we last ate here, so we went to celebrate a special day. The food we ordered was very good. On the way out, I noticed Italians holding a different menu from the one handed to us by our waitress, so I confronted her. She explained THAT menu was for "workers" and "artists" (although I saw old / retired Italians). Having worked as a Florence guide for many years, I have seen this type of discrimination before. Nice lunch menu for Italians ONLY (daily food specials--first & second course with beverage at a discount price) and the "alla carte" menu for the rest of us. Needless to say, this soured my experience. I left feeling cheated and insulted. Foreigners be warned: there are other eateries in the city that treat diners with equal respect.

Good food, bad service. For asian like us to note. We came in 6:30pm and knock on their door ask to book at 7:30pm, since its just an hour away we waited at the piazza outside while having the nice gelato from opposite establishment. upon 7:30 we enter and the old guy manager/owner wearing SLIPPERS, cater us to our table. the then lady ask if we want still or sparkling water, we said we dont what water and she said ok. after awhile the old guy take our order, we orderd one secondi and 2 prima mains, for drinks only one glass of rose. the his fussed as to why only one i guess cause he ask my husband what he wants he said he didnt want any. I said all the orders can come altogether. From what i understand, he understand what i said cause i said it twice. he say it again. Turns out he dont. After he took our order he talk to his lady staff and from what i believe his saying we are cheapskate who dont order any drink cause the lady laugh and look at us. LOL we waited for more than 15 mins for the dish and the pasta came first split into two plates which i never i ask, we try to wait for the two other dish but it dont come so we just ate, when we almost finish only then they served the two dishes. So correct he didnt understand to Serve altogether. the feeling and atmosphere while we wait is too uncomfortable at its best because we can see how they take care of other tables except us. That old guy talk to all tables from french to spanish to english speaking white people with warm. And i guess because we dont order any drinks they are pissed off as maybe they think we dont want to spend. We wanted to order more actually cause we are more of plenty of dishes than drinks couple but then because of the racism no need. Know that guest who dont order drinks doesnt mean they dont have the spending capacity. It can be just because they dont drink comfortably like all italians. Dont judge your guests base on color, order or whatnot. Your food is really good but your service and racism sucks!

This rustic and cozy restaurant offers an authentic immersion into traditional Florentine cuisine, focusing on local offal specialties (trippa and lampredotto). The culinary experience is complemented by an excellent wine list, including a selection of affordable local reds. Exceptional and highly recommended for adventurous eaters, but with limited choices for those less inclined toward offal dishes.

This place is awesome. The food was amazing. A real gem, small and intimate and the prices were reasonable.

Delicious, innovative, friendly and authentic. After 2.5wks in Italy, Il Magazzino was one of the best. How exciting to see the creativity in offal preparation, with the flavour and textures in each dish utterly on point. The salty crunch of the Totani di Bosco and rich gelatinous broth of the Lampredotto al rosmarino in particular are in my dreams. Service is friendly and fun, and there’s a real down-to-earth, authentic vibe. Pretty sure we were the only non-locals there, and it felt like such a privilege to find this place among all the tourist traps in Florence. Grazie mille!!
