Fantastic food! A part for some of the classics the menù changes every week and proposes some interesting first and second plates no to mention the fantastic deserts (like panna cotta al rosmarino)

The "taglieri" (selection of charcuterie and cheese, vegetables...) are always a good choice! The quality of the ingredients is very high, the place might be a little loud in the weekend...

High quality and cozy place. It is an enoteca, so wine is good! The food is served in not so big portions but the taste combinations are very well thought trough. I suggest "Crosotni" and a good wine!

Feel like eating a nice fiorentina (the typical juicy meat from Tuscany)? Good antipasti and contorni too. I suggest "antipasto misto", "fiorentina" (min. 800 gr for two) and "fagioli all'uccelletto"

Rustic osteria, not particularly cheap, but nice food selection, good atmosphere and nice staff. It tends to be pretty crowded especially in the weekend so you might have to wait to be seated.
