"One of the few consistent, vintage trattorias left in Florence’s city center, this cherished basement wine cellar-turned-restaurant off the Ponte Vecchio is small on space but big on soul. Dive deep into true Florentine cuisine with mainstays like ribollita soup, braciole rifatte (breaded and fried Florentine veal re-cooked in tangy tomato sauce), artichoke or porcini tortino (frittata), panzanella, maltagliati pasta, Fiorentina steaks, monk’s beard (agretti) and fennel orange salads, and fried cow brains — all with a great wine list. Overlook the hit or miss service, and you’ll find one of the best meals Florence has to offer. Must-try dish: The butter knife-tender rump steak with crispy aromatic herbs and pecorino." - Coral Sisk
