The staff is great. I had the risoto with Florence cheese and asparagus that was so tasty that I just wish that the portion was bigger. Had a generous glass of wine and a delicious tiramissu for dessert. I recommend this cute, intimate, restaurant.

Great restaurant and delicious food. Went for the Florentine steak and our waiter Gigi made sure everyone was happy with how it was cooked , even took up some slices back to the kitchen to cook the meat a little bit more for ones who prefer a higher temperature. Thank you Gigi and to everyone at Bogusto.

Great experience here. Service was welcoming and relaxed. Steak was exceptional which is why we came. The photos explain more words. Location is very central to Santa Croce. Staff also recommended a great bar to go to for cocktails after. Thank you.

The foods were very tasty and with reasonable price, especially the 1.2 Kg filet steak, it is amazing that was we eat the best steak ever. It cooked very delicious. The pasta was also very delicious with chewy texture. Overall the foods were very good. I strongly recommend you go to this restaurant.

We made reservations through The Fork. The atmosphere is cozy and comfortable. Servers were cheerful and accommodating. Our Italian is limited but the staff all spoke English well. Wine by the glass was very reasonable. As a first course, we split the risotto with asparagus which was delicious. We also had the lamb chops. The chops were small but good; just enough with the side of roasted potatoes. The salmon filet was nicely broiled with a side of asparagus. Overall, good food for the money.
