The best Italian pizzerias and restaurants Florence - Firenze

It is difficult to find a better price-quality ratio in terms of products. We enjoy the freshness of the food of this small trattoria located in the heart of the covered market of Sant'Ambrogio, in the Santa Croce district. On the menu, first courses (pasta, risotto, lasagna, ravioli...), vegetables and meat (beef stew,chicken, Florentine tripe, prosciutto...). Fast service, ideal if you want an express lunch before a visit, and very popular atmosphere, sometimes even noisy, especially during the lunch period.

Near the central market, a traditional family-run trattoria, known for serving fish on Fridays and Saturdays according to tradition(baccalà alla fiorentina). Massimo, Aldo and Francesca take turns in the dining room, at the bar or in the kitchen to satisfy you, in this century-old place with a relaxed atmosphere, for a tasting of typical dishes and wines. All types of pasta and Tuscan-style salads are easily available. Good value for money. Next door, the management has opened a fiaschetteria, for a quicker bistronomic formula.

Between Ponte Vecchio and Pitti Palace, one would think that it is impossible to enjoy a quiet meal. And yet... by moving away a little from the flow of tourists, we discover this charming little floweredsquare della Passera, and this restaurant with terrace that extends its arms to visitors. The interior decoration is a clever blend of old stones and soft contemporary colours. The cuisine is typically Tuscan and tasty, with a touch of inventiveness. Customers from the region and elsewhere. It is better to book.

A fixed menu with 2 dishes, contorno, wine and water. Specialities of parpadelle al anchovies di cinghiale. The restaurant is very clean. A good address for breakfast at a low price.

The Celestino remains extremely well known and recognized by amateurs of good tables in Florence. It must be said that the house has some 150 years of experience. Inside, the restaurant reserves treasures like its Etruscan walls or a fresco painted by ceiling in one of its rooms. For those who prefer to stay outside, two flower terraces are open in summer. Old Tuscan cuisine and best guaranteed recipes.

Very close to the Badia Fiorentina church,an address frequented mainly by young people during the first service and then by regulars, which offers a creative cuisine whose specialities are appreciated: soup of the day, chicory gnocchi, rice with green sauce, various fresh pasta, tagliata, many pastries and good chianti. The colourful decoration of the restaurant, with many plates on the walls, is particularly amusing. Good atmosphere, refined food... everything is done to spend an excellent time at the table, and this since 1978!

This is a great place to discover the charm of an authentic Florentine trattoria, open since 1927, located at the end of Borgo alla Croce ("the street of 100 stores"). The Barrino's decor is meticulous (see the hall of mirrors!) and each object has its own importance. The recipes are 100% Tuscan, with bistecca alla fiorentina a particular highlight, accompanied by fresh produce from the surrounding countryside. The menu gives pride of place to seasonal produce and homemade dishes.

An extraordinary place near the churches of Santa Croce and Sant'Ambrogio. This former 15th century convent, converted into a prison from 1832 to 1983, and then reborn as a residential complex, gave birth in its centre to this charming restaurant with an inspired name. Particular, original, original and faithful to its origins, each corner has kept the imprint of its previous destinations. The house offers a traditional cuisine of quality and excellent pizzas. A wide range of Italian and international artisanal beers to accompany them.

Beautiful trattoria room popular and rustic. The cuisine is traditional and simple. The address is not one of the good tips because everyone seems to know it... In season, it is most often necessary to queue in the late afternoon, before the doors open, to have a chance to get a table. Once served, it is easy to understand why this place is so popular. Here, good food goes hand in hand with simple and light dishes. One of the great Milanese specialities is served here, osso buco, a veal shank gently cooked in stew.
