What a great surprise this little food stall was! Fresh seafood, lightly battered, and perfectly…read morefried! With a slash of yellow lemon it was a delight! The combo mix was shrimp, squid, and cod. They have beer, wine, or soft drinks. The one guy there does everything and we really nice. Little English tho but we were fine. You can eat it here sitting on small stools or take it upstairs to the dinning hall.

FRESH CALAMARI! When…read moreI say fresh, I mean fresh! There was a line waiting to get fresh calamari and the smell was just too alluring that we had to line up ourselves. You can opt just for calamari or get a mix (fish, shrimp too). We went with the mix/combo and my tummy and taste buds did not regret it one bit at all. SO yummy. Next time, I want to get just the calamari. I love the tentacles :) Other than that, this place is cash only and it's located inside the Mercato Centrale.

Absolutely amazingly Delicious and super fresh food. We went…read morehere about two years ago, and we were blown away by the taste of the dishes. This time Florence was not in our itinerary, but because my husband liked their food Dom much, he drove extra 2 hours just to dine in this restaurant. That's how much we loved the food here))) I think it says a lot. This time we ordered seafood lasagna, and it was out of this word. Sensational!!!!

I ordered the whole branzino which was okay. I've had much better in the states. The problem was…read morewith my wife's order of 2 prawns. They were either overcooked or bad as it was just total mush. They apologized and took it away and we ended up splitting mine. The real issue was they were going to charge us 11 euro anyway for a bad fish! His response was it's normally 35 euro which makes absolutely no sense. After arguing, I got back the 11 euro. He was obviously trying to screw me. On top of that, the bread that we paid 2.50 each for was only 2 pieces and stale. Stay away!

AMAZING food!!!! Amazing service. The presentation of each dish is beautiful. The service was…read moreperfect.... Not too much and always there when needed. The seafood couldn't have TASTED any fresher. I absolutely LOVED this place. Even the uniqueness of their plates and platters was something that didn't go unnoticed at our table. I highly recommended. Parking was not hard either. Reservations HIGHLY recommended. We went on a Monday and there were NO empty tables. In the weekends it's even busier.

Soooooo good. The sweetest shrimp ever. Amazing cacciucco. I'll come back to Livorno just to eat…read morehere again

This might have been the highlight of our Italy trip. This place is great. While walking we came…read moreacross La Bottega del Chianti and absolutely loved the place. The owner treats everyone like royalty, he passes out glasses of wine along with cheeses, meats and bread with olive oil. There is everything from wine, cheese, bread, vegetables and a hole lot of eclectic items for sale. I can't write great enough reviews for this business. If your in Florence you have to stop by for a great authentic Italy. This is our second time stopping in at La Bottega del Chianti and we weren't disappointed. This is still my favorite place to go while in Florence. I can't recommend it enough. All I can say is GO!!

Omg!!! This is just a lovely wonderful fun eclectic beautiful Italian experience. The owner is on…read moreolder very friendly Italian gentleman , pouring us a glass of wine when we walked in the door, then he poured another and another and maybe a few more, and insisted we try his cheeses, meats, olive oils and bread. He was selling wine, fresh deli, fruits, veggies, wine, olive oils, hand made wood cutting boards, copper pots and pans, vintage jewelry and so much more. I wanted to buy one of everything. This is definitely worth making a quick pop in this place just to say hi! Weirdly wonderful!
