Top 10 Restaurants
-
1. La Giostra
Service with a flourish from a bona fide Medici prince and his progeny.
-
2. II Latini
Prosciutto hanging from the rafters and communal seating. All you can eat (and drink) of Tuscan stand-bys.
-
3. Cibrèo
Top restaurant, favoured by intellectuals. The annexe serves a limited menu from the same kitchen at less than half the price.
-
4. Cantinetta Antinori
Wine bar/restaurant in a 15th-century palazzo. The Antinori family has been making Chianti for generations, and the produce comes from their farms.

5. Casa di Dante (del Pennello)
Going since at least the 1500s, and famous for its antipasto table laden with vegetables, fish and meat.
-
6. Caffè Bigallo Enoteca
Cosy establishment serving typical Tuscan dishes. Good value set menus.
-
7. II Cantinone
Crostini (grilled bread topped like a pizza) and more substantial dishes at long wooden tables.
-
8. Alla Vecchia Bettola
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).
-
9. II Pizzaiuolo
Crowded pizza parlour also serving tasty Neapolitan pasta dishes. Expect a wait even with reservations.
-
10. Acqua al Due
Beloved restaurant with padded benches, soft lighting and assaggi (tasting) dishes allowing you to sample each course.
