Trattoria 4 Leoni

Trattoria 4 Leoni sits beside Piazza della Passera, in a part of the Oltrarno where narrow streets open onto small gathering places. The restaurant pairs Tuscan recipes with a wine list and an exposed-brick dining room; in season, tables extend towards the square. Its most talked-about dish is pear and cheese ravioli: the fruit’s sweetness meets a savoury filling. The menu is broader than that pasta, but it helps explain why so many visitors associate the dish with this address.

Positive accounts repeatedly mention the pasta, cheese selection and attentive welcome; at busy times, some travellers describe waits and a bill above their expectations. The listing checked showed 4.3/5 on Google from 4,293 reviews. That figure indicates popularity, while the menu and available table shape each visit. Read the current menu, ask about allergens and book if travelling at the weekend. The square gives the meal a neighbourhood setting, though the dining room can feel close when every table is occupied.

The official address is Via de’ Vellutini 1/R, and the website lists daily opening from noon until midnight; confirm kitchen hours before arriving late. You can walk from Piazza Santo Spirito through the neighbourhood streets, and the restaurant is near Palazzo Pitti. 4 Leoni suits a sit-down meal and a pasta that brings sweet and savoury flavours together; it is not a quick stop between museums. If eating outdoors matters to you, request a table on the square and check availability for your date.
