    Nice decor inside of the restaurant, as well as a good choice on the menu. Waitresses also go around on skates which is very unique, whilst I assume on the the absolute precipice in terms of health and safety. Food was fine. I had the ribs and fries, both were ok, nothing special, however the BBQ sauce was lovely! Oreo milkshake was very underwhelming however. Small point, but the toilets were horrible, it was blocked and just generally unclean. Feel as if the restaurant is more for locals and travellers who want to experience different food and almost the culture of the USA. However, being from the UK, it just wasn’t that impressive.

    As you can tell from the name it's a restaurant themed as an old american diner. We stopped by to try out some desserts and was pleased with what we got delivered. Some of the waiters ar rollerskating around the restaurant, which was a fun twist even if it sometimes looked a bit hard for them. The menu is of course everything you would expect according to the theme. Seems to be pretty popular.

    Really nice 50's themed diner, everything was great from the props to the background music, the staff were fantastic and really friendly, we were served by Daniella and we also chatted with Lev, I really liked their uniforms and the fact that Daniella was on skates the whole time really made the experience feel authentic. I haven't had a burger that good in a long time, maybe even ever! I've never been to America so I can't comment on how authentic it was but it was bloody amazing! The chips (fries) were also great too! 5 stars hands down! Compliments to the chef! The only downside was that the restaurant was a little warm, but we were by the window and it was 37⁰c outside! I'm gutted I forgot to check out the downstairs area! If I return to Florence, I would definitely come back, I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a burger!

    I love this kind of places, full of little details and friendly services. Really cool place in center of Florence. All the restaurant is themed in 1950 diner style. From where you seat to the bathroom. Food is great, all the classic American food you see in films is there. Price is more than fair we were 2, had a burger and a burrito, 2 colas and 1 water all 30 euros circa. There is also a retro game room where you can actually play! I 100% recommend it, you must pass by if you're close. Check the photos for a better idea!

    Really pretty and big 50s diner. Having said that, burgers were nice but they forgot my bagel and when I told them they brought me a different than the one I had ordered with a salad with no olive oil or sauce of any kind. Disappointed. But the place is pretty.

    Well, I was craving a burger in Italy for some reason. That's weird, huh! But the weirder is that even though there were maybe 5 employees, I couldn't figure out what they were busy with! You will see them running and skating around smiling at you, but when you need help, everyone is pointing and saying the other guy will help you with your request. Don't get me wrong, they are not rude or anything, but it is irritating when you have a question about the menu and no one can help you. It seems most of the work is done by one person! Having said that, the burger was average. I wouldn't come here again, but it could be a good choice for your kids if they do not like the Italy panini!

    This place is like an "oasis" or a "rest stop" among all the pizza and pasta 7x24. The atmosphere is great! From the decorations, the music to the staff dressed with old american clothes. I ordered a burger of 460gr and it was so delicious!! Service can be better as most of the places in Italy but good enough for nice experience. They open at 12

    Don't tell our Italian friends, but we went to an American Diner.🤦🏻‍♀️🙈 But it was fun! Cosy, fun and the food was fine too. I had a sandwich with salmon and it was very tasty. Kids menu was way to big, but tasted well. A small playground for the kids guaranteed the parents a few minutes of some quite time which is extremely important in a busy city like Florence.

    This place was truly unique although on the outside it doesn’t look like much but on the inside omg the place was huge and the servers were mostly accommodating I loved the vibe it was super cool and old school Would definitely recommend you give it a try if you’re staying in Florence.

    A very well themed 50's American diner. If you forget you are in Florance you can easily think you are somewhere on Route 66. The staff was very friendly and our waitress was on rollerblades:). The food was as American as it can be with genuine recipes and tastes.

    This place is a 10/10. The atmosphere and music was so iconic, we really had such a great time here. The food was so yummy and the menu items are so unique and well thought out. Every detail in this place was so interesting to view. If you ever want good food and value for money this place is it! Even the waitresses are on roller skates. What a cool place!

  • 5/5 Anugrah T. 5 months ago on Google • 10 reviews
    Wow, this restaurant was aesthetic, with the red and blue 1950’s American diner theme, pin-up posters and waitresses on skates. The restaurant was even themed up for Halloween at the time I was there with webs all over the decor. Wasn’t very hungry while visiting the restaurant but the little food I had there was amazing, definitely check it out if you’re in Florence

  • 4/5 Phil S. 1 year ago on Google
    Fun atmosphere. Food was good. Prices are moderate. After a week of nice Italian food, I just wanted a cheeseburger and fries.. The 233 gm burgers are pretty big. If I were to do it again I'd order a classic burger, which would have also brought the cost down. Our food came out really fast. The waitress checked on us to make sure everything was OK. No need to get the check. They tell you your table number after you order , and you just go to the cashier when you're ready to leave.

    This place was really fun. My visit was in late October so they had lots of Halloween decorations up. This alone made me very happy, as coming from Canada, lots of houses and businesses in my area would decorate just like this place did. The food was superb. It was very high quality, and very fairly priced. I've never been to a genuine American Diner in my life, but I am curious if they would have as many options as this place did. So many menu items, your bound to find something you love. If I'm ever back in Italy, I will be coming back to this place for sure. (Also, the servers wear a 50's time period uniform, and that's the cherry on top.)

    If you want something a little bit different, this place has great American dinner food. Their burgers are delicious and so are the mozzarella sticks and chicken. The decorations are amazing and the service was excellent. We will be back.

    The food was good. Real America. The witress was really nice and their English was good. Just too many witnesses and each one of them ask you the same question 😅

    I had the chicken burger and it was beautiful it tasted fresh like It wasn't frozen

  • 3/5 Laura S. 2 years ago on Google
    The staff here was not very friendly. We caught some attitude from staff when we told them we didn't have a reservation. Waitied a long time and finally got seated. The servers are on roller skates. Our waitress was alright. I ordered the enchilada. It was not good. Not sure anyone here actually knows how enchiladas should be. Partially my fault, I should have known better than to order Mexican food from and American diner in Italy lol. The other items we ordered were ok at best.

  • 5/5 Cernica R. 1 year ago on Google
    Great food and very unique atmosphere. All the waitresses are on rollerskates which is very authentic of the 50s. The décor and the vibe of the restaurant is immaculate. Highly recommend for anyone willing to take take a break from Italian food and take a trip back to 1950!
