Check out the Italy forum for all kinds of advice. There is a thread pinned at the top with Florence restaurant recommendations.
We dined at Osteria Centopoveri last night and it was great. Service was quick, the food was great and it was very family friendly. We had no trouble getting in after calling same - day for a reservation.
