"This lively trattoria is always packed with a mix of stall owners, business people and tourists who all come for the good, traditional, homely food at very reasonable prices."

"For earthy Florentine cooking at very low prices, there’s nowhere better then Da Mario, which has been in operation right by the Mercato Centrale since 1953."
