It looks like a place locals go to, and when the menu doesn't have an English version you know it's going to be good and it was. The house wine was very good.

The we had the steak with chimichurri, the suckling pork, lamb and roasted pork. All were top notch.

The antipasto on special was unusual and pretty tasty. I was happy for the bottomless bread with olive oil and various vinegars on the table. Our waitress, Viola, was fantastic! Very friendly, professional, kind, and helpful since our Italian was limited. Overall we had an excellent experience, even if the prices were a little high for the quantity of food you get. But it was a nice environment right along the river so I guess that's to be expected. We also tried two amazing desserts - one was a this cheesecake, and the other had flaky crust on the top and bottom and some sort of frozen custard in the middle. It was amazing!!! (Can't remember the name of it). But it was unusual and delicious! My only complaint was the terrible music being played - bossanova renditions of songs by Kiss, Imagine Dragons, etc... it was distractingly bad. Luckily they later switched to the original versions of songs by Elton John and other contemporary music.

It turns out that there was a fresh mushroom tagliatelle special so my daughter had that while I chose their Taglierini al Tartufo Fresco - pasta with fresh truffles. Oh my gosh, I absolutely loved my dish! The pasta was seasoned perfectly and the truffles were delicious! My husband had their pasta bolognese. We also shared and loved the Crostone Stracchino e Tartufo- toasted bread with an Italian cow's milk cheese and truffles. We had a 1/2 liter of their house red wine to drink.

SO good. They have house branded olive oil and it was stupendous. We ate every morsel of our bread serving and could have just about drunk the olive oil it was so good! It was lunch so we couldn't eat TPP much so for our next course we had the squid ink pasta and the omelette with spicy eggplant. Both were delicious. So fresh. We didn't leave a morsel on either plate. We highly recommend this place!!

We had spent the morning in the Uffizi Gallery and had a related afternoon ticket-time at the…read moreAcademia Gallery. We walked most of the way between the two and located this place for lunch. It was rated well and was open for a slightly early lunch (it was a bit before noon on a Saturday). It was within a couple of blocks of the Academia Gallery and was probably 4 or so blocks from the Duomo. There was no exterior seating. The interior was mostly lit by daylight from the windows and doorway. It was not expansive and had simple wooden tables, chairs, and benches. The menu was listed on a chalkboard and likely changes ~ daily? The proprietor was helpful in describing dishes somewhat, as needed. A local lady (grandmother?) and her young grandson showed up just before we finished. This wasn't surprising as it seemed like they were catering to locals maybe even more than tourists. The food was simple, but fresh and tasty. I think I just had my noodles with Pomodoro. Everyone liked their food. Before we left my wife asked if they had a restroom. From her description afterwards, this was almost a side quest. The proprietor provided a key and guided her outside and up some stairs. There was then a very small restroom under the landing, but you had to turn the key 3 times to unlock it... It was amusing. The place is in an older building, so I'm sure they had to adapt to the architecture that already existed. If you are visiting nearby museums or the cathedral area, this place is definitely worth a stop.
