"The lively, friendly atmosphere makes the decent Tuscan home cooking taste all the better."

"It may be the noisiest, most crowded trattoria in Florence, but it's also one of the most fun."

"Arrive here at 7:30pm to join the crowd massed at the door, for even with a reservation you'll have to wait as they skillfully fit parties together at the communal tables."

""Get there early" and "be willing to wait your turn among the throngs" at this "rustic", "feel-good" Tuscan in City Center."

"There is always a crowd of both foreigners and locals clamouring for a table outside I Latini’s large, noisy trattoria, where huge hams hang from the ceiling."

"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."

"The primi are very simple: pasta in sauce, tortellini in brodo (meat-stuffed pasta in chicken broth), and zuppa alla paesana (peasant soup ribollita)."

"Sostanza is also known as Il Troia (the trough) because its long, wooden communal tables are always packed with diners enjoying the same signature dishes."

"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."

"Not an upscale gourmet place, but popular with locals, and a place to practice my rusty Italian."
