Il Purgatorio - Firenze

Avoid at all costs, the owner or the person in charge is a scammer especially if you are a foreigner. I ordered a pizza with mozzarella and ham without tomato sauce and a bottle of water that was served to me already open, I guess it wasn’t mineral water now that I see how dishonest this person was. When I asked for the check, the person in charge scribbles on a piece of paper the amount 14 €, I gave him my credit card, he refused to take it, he told me that his machine was broken, when I told him that I had no other way to pay him, and pointed out that on his door it was mentioned that he accepts all credit cards, all of a sudden, his machine became operational and he charged my card. Then, I asked him for a detailed bill, he gets up set, and then wrote 10 € for the pizza. I remembered that all the pizzas on his menu were between 8 € and 9 €, I asked him why my pizza was more expensive Than all the other ones? he took the menu and tried to justify his price but he couldn’t , so he becomes really mad, opens his drawer and gave me 2€. Honestly it's not for the 2 € it's just because I felt his dishonesty by taking advantage of me, as a single, foreign woman, and probably put the money in his pocket.

I have been there with some friends of mine. The place is small but pretty nice. In past years, they used to have some tables outside, but this year only inside is available. We ordered a first dish -same for all-, pretty good but quantity not so rich. Then pizza, that is really excellent: double pasta, a little bit salted, with several combinations of lardo, porro, taleggio and other ingredients, on top to the more common ones. Most of the combinations are entitled with Divina Commedia characters. One of the best pizzas in town. Take into accoun this is a popular pizzeria; once you have finished, if there are people waiting for dinner, you are kindly asked to free up the table.

Pizza excellent impeccable service very attentive to the rules of antiquity

We stop for a pizza and out of the usual laps we rediscover this cute place where to eat well is not an option, but it is guaranteed that pizzas are extensive and tasty and the pasta is exceptional at the service of a young grill easy to tuscany that toast in the evening and the mood of food to say little black, dignified prices and sympathy have seasoned in the evening, we will definitely come back to try the kitchen!
