“ If you're fresh off seeing the Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore and are looking for a nice local spot for a meal, this one is a really good pick. Filled to the rafters with locals on a weekday night, we were led to a cozy seating room with a giant wine rack with a multitude of Italian wines to choose from. I ordered the Pappardelle al Cinghiale, a signature Tuscan dish of flat pasta in a wild boar ragu marinated in red wine. This one had wild boar and beef, was seasoned beautifully and packed a hearty punch of flavour. My girlfriend chose the Zucchini omelette with roast potatoes which were nice too, but get the pasta if you can. For dessert, we tried the Crostata di More which was quite excellent – a crumbly pie crust went well with thick, luscious filling made with fresh blackberries. If you like a good home-baked fruit pie, you'll enjoy this one. The staff are jovial and pay nice attention to service. The prices are quite decent considering the central location, so definitely a nice all-round package. ”
“ We had a fantastic experience here while searching for a wine bar with a good selection of snacks. It can be a bit challenging to find a seat, but everything—from the wines to the food—was excellent. We tried lampredotto, a local specialty made from cow’s stomach, and it was especially delicious. The staff were incredibly friendly and eager to explain the wines and dishes. Overall, a wonderful spot for enjoying authentic Florentine flavors and choice of wine! ”
