""The Holy Drinker" is an airy, stylish and hugely popular gastronomic enoteca with a small but classy menu of seasonal food."
Condé Nast Traveler
"The food is based on fresh, locally sourced produce, and it's as good a spot for a glass of wine and plate of cheese and salumi as for a full meal. "

"Since opening its doors in 1869, this trattoria has been serving top-notch, unpretentious food to Florentines who like their bistecca fiorentina very large and very rare."

"This full-of-charm hole-in-the-wall—a Florence classic for nearly 150 years—offers just six tables (so do book ahead) and has had the same staff for the past two decades."
