Alla Vecchia Bettola

"This simple room right on the piazza may not look it, but it's one of the city's premier restaurants in town for ultratraditional Florentine food." Full review

"With white tile walls, cured hams strung from the ceiling, and marble-topped wooden tables shared with other diners, Alla Vecchia Bettola is a classic Florentine osteria." Full review

"Located on a major traffic intersection a couple of minutes’ walk from the Carmine, this wonderfully old-fashioned place has something of the atmosphere of an old-style drinking den."

"This lively trattoria has been around only since 1979, but it feels as if it's been a whole lot longer...the recipes come from "wise grandmothers" and celebrate Tuscan food in its glorious simplicity." Full review
