Very good food, great prices, and excellent service! We took the Chianti wine tour and one of the…read morestops was in Greve. The town is quant and very beautiful. In the "center" there are many shops including this butcher. We sat outside and tried many of their wines. We ordered the truffle panini, a cheese board, the tomato, onion, basil salad, and the bruschetta. The tomatoes are vibrant and juicy. You wont taste anything like it. The cheese board had thick cuts of different cheeses (no clue what types but the truffle one was my fave). It comes with honey and onion compote and bread. Again, the service has been incredible! They were so lovely here and you feel like family!

The vegetables are fresh picked - you can smell the earth- and about 1/ 3 the price of central Florence. The place is busy. Lots of locals. Inside are local goods, meat, poultry, cheese, and fish. You can't get any fresher. Olive oils and many other DTLA acids inside. Outside there are clothing vendors, farmers, plant sellers, jewelry and antiques. I highly recommend stopping by to get a local feel. Check times.

This market is not in the city centre and it's a bit further, but still walking distance. We came…read moreby just after 9:30 on a Friday. There are fewer crowds here, probably because of its location, which makes it a prime spot for food tours. We didn't do one but we just wandered around ourselves. There are fewer options here than Mercato Centrale but the trade off is that you don't have to deal with all the people. They sell a lot of the same stuff - fresh produce, meats, and some vendors selling food. We tried the tripe sandwich here, which wasn't as good as the other market, but still delicious. We also bought some strawberries outside, which might have been some of the best strawberries I've ever eaten in my life, so definitely don't sleep on those. Mercato di Sant'Ambrogio is worth the trek!

Sitting at a long family table we enjoyed meeting people from Ukraine, Spain, Brazil, Italy and the United States as we indulged in a carnivore's feast led by Dario, the patron of our new-found family. We toasted and laughed and leaned and celebrated together like blood relatives catching up after not seeing each other for a long, long time. What a fabulous culturally-bonding, life experience as we seized the day and enjoyed our new-found family brought together by Dario! Carnivore Diem and Carpe Diem!

He recommended a meat and cheese board with some vino that was absolutely divine. I don't think I've ever had such a delicious and fresh off the bone charcuterie as I did today. He sat with us while we snacked sharing with us his family history and 3 generations of business, since 1924. Such a kind soul. I hope his business lasts lifetimes more. It truly is such a special place. Can't wait to get back. Highly recommend. No crowds either.

The family/staff that owns the market and restaurant was so sweet. We stopped by for a lunch and ordered anything they recommended. They were extremely attentive and wanted us to have the best experience. We had the Ribollita and their charcuterie board for 2. It was such a treat! I've never had Ribollita before then, but it tasted so fresh and homey. It was as if a family had invited you to their home for a meal. The eating space is a tiny, so if you find an open table definitely try to grab a bite there! The walls are also littered with post it notes from customers who have had the pleasure of eating there. Such a great eatery!
