This place is right off the autostrada just before Florence, but is a little hard to find (forget…read morethe GPS!). Look for the big Hotel sign; it's right next to it. The outdoor look is deceptive (i.e. not very inviting.) BUT, the food was great. This place is Tuscan all the way: big meat carved table-side is the specialty. Almost all of the patrons are locals; the lunch service at 2:00PM was still packed and we got one of the last open seats. I tried the crespelle al forno (baked Italian crepes) and they were outstanding. The service was very good; prices were reasonable.

For our first time in Florence, it was an amazing find. The food was extremely fresh and delicious. The waitstaff was also patient with us as we don't speak any Italian! I think I had the best prosciutto and barratta that I've ever eaten in my life! My husband ordered the tagliatelle with goose ragu (phenomenal) and I had the seafood pasta (very good but the tagliatelle was definitely amazing!!!). We also had the octopus starter- fabulous. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone staying in Florence that has a car!
