Trattoria Sabatino

Restaurant · San Frediano

@cntraveler

"Sabatino is caught in a bit of a time warp: the Buccioni family has been serving good, honest home cooking at rock-bottom prices to locals (and latterly budget-conscious tourists) here in the western reaches of the Oltrarno since 1956, and little seems to have changed since then. Expect white walls, rustic beamed ceilings, checked table cloths, and a marble-topped counter at the entrance, where the desserts are served and bills are prepared. The menu is typed out daily on a vintage Corona—that says it all. Staunchly traditional, the menus here are as no-frills as the decor. Start with a plate of spaghetti al pomodoro or filling pasta e fagioli (pasta and bean soup) before moving on to roast guinea fowl, arista (roast pork), or rolled, stuffed chicken. Sides are basic but seasonal and fresh: mixed salad, white beans, and green salad. Desserts (tiramisu, torta della nonna) are homemade." - Nicky Swallow
