Beloved restaurant with padded benches, soft lighting and assaggi (tasting) dishes allowing you to sample each course.

Where Florentines go to enjoy old-fashioned dishes – some not for the weak of stomach, such as testicciole (rice stew in a halved sheep’s skull).

Baldovino is a busy restaurant situated at the side of Santa Croce [ owned by a Scotsman ! ] . As well as serving good traditional Tuscan dishes , Baldovino also serves up good Pizzas from it's wood burning oven . When you eat here you are guaranteed good fare , served up by welcoming and friendly staff . It is popular both with Tourists and also local people . They also have a web site so that you can book a table prior to your visit [ which I inevitably do ! ] . I would highly recommend a meal here . I have enjoyed many on my eight visits to Florence over the past six years .

Florence's most famous gelato on Via Isole Delle Stinche, a small street just around the corner from Piazza Santa Croce is Cafe Vivoli. Great chocolate flavours. The Vivoli family runs the cafe Vivoli for decades. You can sit at the tables for free and also eat lunch. Try a crema cafe` that is an expresso coffee in a large cup that is lined with luscious vanilla gelato

Cosy establishment serving typical Tuscan dishes. Good value set menus.
